How to preserve American Gold Eagle coins?

When you buy gold eagle coins, do you generally foresee more purchases in future? Then, you should buy coin holders too to preserve your coins collection. Coins, however new they may be, are sure to be tarnished when exposed to heat and dust.

The last time, when I gave this useful advice to my friend, she showed me an ancient silk pouch that jingled with coins. Well, that may very well serve the purpose but there are unique coin holders sold by coins merchants.

I wonder whether the United States Gold Bureau where you can purchase silver, gold or other precious metals coins for immediate personal delivery, sell coin holders too!

When you buy gold coins in India, coin holders are given free of cost in the form a small plastic box with velvet lining inside where the coin sits snugly in a slot.

There may never be a better time for buying silver bullion or gold coins than right now. Let us all learn from our ancestors who placed their faith only on precious metals and not on paper currency.

Earn green money.

Green money sounds nice-eh? It means both the greenbacks and eco-friendly.

Are you operating a blog on green issues? There is an ad network that is willing to serve your green blog with green oriented banner ads. You can try to monetize your blog with this new kind of advertising.

I believe there are more green ad networks in the Internet and more to come. They offer PPC, CPM and CPA types of advertisement.

Since this a niche advertising segment, you can expect the approval process to be strict. Most of the websites that focus on alternate energy sources, sites that speak for paperless work will be approved easily.

Who use radar detectors?

Somehow, I have forgotten to ask my U.S. based relatives, how the traffic cops in the U.S. intercept a speeding vehicle out of nowhere. Watching them in action in movies, I wondered who gave them tips that a certain vehicle is over speeding.

Only an hour ago, I came to know that radar detectors are used to measure the speed of the vehicle using radio wave.

Is it true that Americans use a radar detector secretly in their vehicle so that they can be aware of their speed being monitored by the traffic cops? While it may not be legal or ethical, I am amused at their wits. They somehow find ways to overcome every other rule-eh?

Just to satisfy my academic interest, I looked in the Internet where these radar detectors are sold openly. Man, what did I find? I ate humble pie.

Twitterlive - a better way to forward your blog posts to Twitter

If you are a blogger, and mini-blogger at Twitter at the same time, it is absolutely natural to feed your blog posts to your Twitter page or pages. While there are many free services, allowing to perform this task automatically, we would like to present on the most respected in the bloggers community – Twitterlive.

What is Twitterlive.net

Twitterlive.net is a web 2.0 service that lets you create a channel that automatically feeds your blog to twitter, track the clicks and collects real-time traffic data. Twitterlive.net launched in mid January 2010 and quickly became an alternative to the established services available, because in addition to feed your blog to all the social networks you have your own feed channel where you can post pictures, videos or simply an status update.

Why use twitterlive.net

If SEO is important to you, then that alone is a very good reason to use twitterlive.net over any other twitter feed services. Here is why; the title of the page of your feed channel will be the name of your feed; and this is very important because the page title weighs heavily in the algorithms of all the major search engines; therefore give your feed channel a meaningful name so people can easily find it during an Internet search. Remember that the title is the first and probably the only thing the searcher will look at in the search results.

In addition when you create a feed channel Twiterlive will import your twitter background and colors that will be used for your feed channel page. The image background you place on your twitter profile is your social media brand, so be creative and design something that will stand out.

Paused feed channels will not be visible by search engines.

Getting Started

1. Sign up to Twitterlive by creating a new account or login with your OpenID.
2. Add a new feed channel using the RSS URL from your site
3. Watch the stats and track how many clicks your stories get

Features

Here are some of the main features:

• You can set the frequency you want Twtterlive to visit your site to fetch new feed items
• You can set the interval you want the feed items to be published
• Twitterlive has its own URL shortener service that collects real-time traffic data
• You can have your own feed channel on Twitterlive
• Your readers can visit your channel and easily search for previous posts

Paypal refunds attract a fee.

As an honest person, you refund the money you received in your paypal due to some reason. Paypal obliges but slaps a penalty for your honesty. :)

Doesn't make any sense? Read below the official announcement from Paypal.

"Amendment to the PayPal User Agreement

Refund Fee. Section 8.5 (Additional Fees) is amended to add a new refund fee. If you refund a Purchase Payment, we will retain the Fixed Fee portion of the Purchase Payment Fee. The buyer’s Account will be credited with the full Purchase Payment amount and the Fixed Fee portion of the Purchase Payment Fee will be deducted from your Account in addition to the amount of the refunded payment. The Fixed Fee will depend on the currency of the Purchase Payment and is listed in 8.4(c).

Fees: The following fee for Refunds will be added:

After August 10, 2010, the Fixed Fee portion of the Transaction Fee will be deducted from your Account at the time of the refund, in addition to full payment amount that is refunded to the buyer. Fixed fee portion of the original Transaction Fee.

(The Fixed Fee will depend on the currency of the payment, so if the payment was made in USD then the refund fee is $0.30.)

* Excludes Direct Payments and Virtual Terminal Payments where an American Express Card is used."

What comes to your mind? I think Paypal employees have just asked for a raise.

All said and done, I view this rule as a reasonable one. When requesting to refund, you are giving more work to Paypal which could have been avoided by you and I as a seller-right?

Coin’s age does not determine its rarity.

This weekend’s gold monitor newsletter broke my long-standing belief that all old coins are rare and demand high price in the coin collectors market. Rarity is not decided based on the coins’ age.

Will you buy gold coins that are rare or that are old? Now, after reading the new insight, you are undecided-right? When I buy gold eagle coins, they are new and shining; I let them grow old to become rare.

I buy gold coins based on the purity of the gold and I give importance to the coins’ authenticity. I place trust on the source of my gold coins and thereby I don’t have to worry about the purity and the authenticity.
