A merger between X.Com and Confinity in March 2000 gave birth to PayPal as we know it today. Based in the United States of America, it is a global e-commerce business which allows for money transfers and payments to be made through the internet. Basically, it serves as an acquirer (an institution to process debit and credit card payments for services and products) and processes payments for online vendors, auction sites and for many other commercial users for a small usage fee.
The fee it charges usually depends on the payment options that are utilized, the currencies in question, the amount of money in the transaction and the country involved. In Oct 2002, PayPal, which had focused on expanding its services among eBay users, was acquired by eBay for just under $1.5 billion.
Email marketing is one of the in-vogue techniques in the online marketing world. Over time, it has turned out to be one of the best ways to interact with one's audience, keep them informed and share updates. When people share their email addresses with you, a website administrator, they expect to receive something valuable in their inboxes. Repetitive or uninformative emails might make them unsubscribe, which will hamper your business. Your emails—and this is key—need to be relevant to your audience. Maintain quality of content as well as quality of presentation to both attract and keep an audience.
You are not the only competitor in your business or the only one following email marketing. There are thousands like you. Your audience members might be receiving an endless number of emails on the same topic and that provide almost the same information. They might just be moving your email to the trash, unread. Although your emails provide informative content, they fail to serve their purpose if your audience doesn’t see any of it.

Travel photography is inspirational and exciting by its very nature. The prime goal of travel photography is satisfaction and enjoyment one can get out of it.
For any worthwhile photography, a deliberate and conscious choice is a must. This choice can be of the right film, right shutter speed, right depth of field, right lighting and right point of view. To click a memorable picture, all these small factors should also be ‘right’.
