Pay Pal is reaching Israel

B"H

When you look at different websites today, you notice how many site owners love to run after donations. These people can use anything but not any kind of criticism of their sites or the topic they represent. As soon as you say anything negative, the site owners freak out, as they see all their donations fading away. Some of them would do anything for a couple of dollars.

With blogs, it may be slightly different. Those of us who do lots of research and write about special subjects feel that they deserve at least some appreciation. On a blog, readers are able to access anything, a regular website may sometimes ask for your credit card number.

Many blogger try earning some money by letting advertising agencies use their site. In case you decide putting some commercials into your blog, you should be careful. Google, for instance, asks you, where they may put the commercials, other advertising agencies don't bother inquiring. The worst what can happen is that you will find all the banners even above your blog header. It is always worth checking out a contract before signing. Especially the small print. Are the few dollars from the commercials are more important than the design of your site ?

Until now, Israeli banks such as Hapoalim and Leumi, didn't open any Pay Pal accounts for Israelis. Israelis had to open off – shore accounts in order to receive Pay Pal. Now EBay announced that they are planning to introduce Pay Pal on the Israeli market. Already within the coming months, Israeli site owners will be able to use the new system.

Pay Pal seems to me much better than ruining a site with all kinds of flash banners !
