You may try to save a few bucks by buying a designer handbag replica, but there are several reasons why it makes sense to buy the real thing

1. Although replicas may look like the real thing, the workmanship and quality can’t be compared to the original.

2. Counterfeiters avoid paying taxes since their businesses are generally operated on a cash basis. Citizens like you and I still have to pay.

3. The sale of counterfeit designer goods has been linked to terrorist and gang activity as well as organized crime. Drugs are often smuggled inside counterfeit handbags.

bSpotting a fakeb

There was a time when it was easy to spot a fake misspelled logos, cheap leather and shoddy hardware. Now, fakes are starting to look rather good and its hard to tell the difference. Here’s how to tell whats real and whats not

1. Authentic handbags are purchased from authorized registered dealers. Authentic designer handbags are not sold by street vendors, at home parties, at flea markets, in New York’s Chinatown, in Los Angeles’ Santee Alley, or at mall kiosks.

2. If youre considering a Coach handbag, the companys website provides a list of authorized dealers. Both Coach and Kate Spade give detailed information on spotting replicas of their products.

3. The price. A new Prada handbag will not sell for 50.

4. Country of Origin Labels. The country of origin for Fendi handbags is Italy. If the handbag has a label that says Made in Taiwan, it is not the real thing.

bBuying designer handbags onlineb

If you’re shopping online and find a designer handbag at a price thats hard to pass up, theres a way to tell if you’re getting an authentic product

Read the product description carefully. Some online merchants will lure you into their sites by describing their products as original, authentic or genuine. After reading descriptions, you may find such phrases as inspired by a particular designer. This product isnt authentic and the phrase is used to protect the merchant from trademark infringement.

Traveling, be it just across state or to another country is always a great experience. To help people enjoy it rather than having an untoward incident such as losing one’s passport or other items such as luggage, it is best to be prepared to avoid such things from happening.

An essential item for any passenger traveling is the passport. This, aside from cash and the tickets must be nearby at all times preferably in a small handbag or purse for easy accessibility. If it is possible, one should memorize the passport number just in case for some reason it gets lost.

There is a high probability that when one travels, one usually uses the same bag for various trips. It is best to remove all the old destination tags and just have the new destination tag attached to avoid confusion. Also, for personal protection, one must have a lock and key for the bag and have it labeled both inside and outside the bag to avoid having another traveler from getting the luggage by mistake.

Depending on the length of the trip, one should just bring enough bags that one can carry. If the trip will take a few days or longer, choose a more appropriate bag to bring along. Taking such precautions will make the person feel comfortable and not helpless or immobilized when one is also not certain where the taxi stand or the bus stop is located.

While traveling, one should be careful of the surroundings. One should never let a stranger look after the luggage because it is possible that they will put something in it or even steal it.

During the trip, one should choose a hotel located on a welltraveled street. Usually, the more expensive the hotel, the better the security. The first thing to do when entering a hotel room is to check the windows, sliding doors and connecting rooms if there are any and make sure it is secure.

Most hotels have a small vault in the room and safety deposit box, which is complimentary. When leaving the hotel, it is also advisable to leave the room key in the lobby and just claim it when entering the hotel room.

Do not answer the hotel room door before verifying who it is. If someone claims to be a hotel employee and one does not recall making any request from the help desk, it is best to call the front desk person first to verify.

Most importantly, make sure the hotel room door is locked at all times.

Every fashionista knows that Italian luxury handbags are synonymous with quality and style. Unfortunately, not every woman can afford fashion accessories made from exotic skins like python, crocodile, and ostrich. Thanks to a new manufacturing process, however, handcrafted purses, clutches, fashion handbags, and tote bags are considerably more affordable.

The CoccoLigator Process

The secret is coccoligator skin. If you’ve never heard of this innovative skin, you soon will, as it’s taking the fashion world by storm. The ligator process involves taking the natural fibers of the alligator’s and crocodile’s second layer of skin, and then subjecting it to heat. After that, the skin is varnished to a high gloss and glued on to highquality leather. From there, the leather is used by artisans to create Italian luxury handbags.

Different Patterns and Colors

Whether you’re shopping for wholesale handbags for your retail store, or are looking for an accessory for your personal use, it’s important to know that there are two different patterns used in coccoligator bags. The regular coccoligator pattern utilizes both the belly pattern, which is large and irregular, and the flanks, which are smaller and rounder. The hornback pattern is like that of the back of an alligator, which is a bit more rough and wild.

Coccoligator is about more than just patterns, however. It’s also about color. All Italian luxury handbags are timeless, but the color palette changes with the seasons. These fashion accessories are available in myriad colors, including black, mahogany, cream, gold, Bordeaux, white, honey, red, blue, gray, and dark green.

Style is Key

When you’re shopping for purses, texture and color are just two elements to consider. The third, of course, is design. To achieve a truly puttogether look, women need a handbag for every occasion. Fashion handbags, for example, are the perfect accessories for casual or daytime outfits, while classically styled purses are the bag of choice for women who want to convey elegance and sophistication. Clutches are a musthave to accessorize eveningwear and special occasions, while tote bags and organizers are crucial for women in the business world.

A Wonderful Alternative

There are many reasons why coccoligator is a great alternative to the exotic skins used in many Italian luxury handbags, but the two primary reasons are conservation and cost. Thanks to the unique ligator process, much more of the reptile is used, enabling us to enjoy fashion accessories while minimizing the impact on the species. In addition, the price of a coccoligator bag is a fraction of what we would spend on a crocodile purse.

When shopping for coccoligator handbags, make sure to buy from a company that prides itself on generations of tradition in handcrafting Italian luxury handbags. When you do, you’ll not only own a gorgeous purse, but you’ll also own an exquisite piece of art.

In most major cities in the world, there is an active and highly profitable shadow economy in phony consumer goods that generates (in some estimates) upwards of 500 billion dollars a year. If you have ever been down to “Counterfeit Alley” in midtown Manhattan, you have seen one of the biggest counterfeit marketplaces in the world. While many of us spend our waking hours lusting after the latest fashion designs from our favorite designers, there are a lot of people out there who purchase knockoff or phony items without fully appreciating the consequences.

I recently read a book called “Knockoff”, written by a fellow named Tim Phillips. It was an insightful read, with a number of interesting and often disturbing ideas presented. I was particularly interested in the section he devoted to the trade in phony luxury items such as designer handbags. These days, it seems I can’t go anywhere without seeing somebody carrying a fake Prada or Gucci purse. Personally, I have always resisted the urge to purchase a counterfeit purse. I have avoided the temptation mainly because such an action only undermines an industry I have grown to love. When one considers the price of some of the higherend purses, it should come as no surprise that some people purchase fakes.

What will surprise you is the discovery that their money is supporting future terrorist attacks in America and abroad. This book has confirmed my belief in supporting legitimate companies. Have you ever stopped to consider where the money you spend on fake consumer products ends up? This book will provide you with some frightening insights. The “black market” in counterfeit consumer goods provides incredible resources for criminal organizations, and these organizations certainly do not have the public interest at heart.

One of the most disturbing ideas in the book was the suggestion that terrorist organizations, working with organized crime groups, use the profits gained from these illegal sales to support future attacks. I could not sleep at night if I thought I was supporting terrorist campaigns to maim and kill innocent civilians in America, or anywhere else for that matter. I am a firm believer in being a conscientious shopper, and supporting companies that are trying to make the world a better place. I will gladly pay three times the price of a phony purse, to ensure that my money is not supporting terrorism. Check out “Knockoff” when you have a chance. It is a real eyeopener.

There’s a new kid on the block in the wonderful, wacky world of designer handbags. In case you haven’t heard, World According to Jess is taking the fashion accessories industry by storm. But don’t let the amateurish name fool you, this design house is taking no prisoners! In a relatively short period of time, this company has achieved immense respect and credibility in the industry. Jessica AlpertGoldman, namesake and owner of World According to Jess, has firmly entrenched herself in an industry that is not always kind to outsiders.

The designs are bold, quirky, and cutemuch like Jess herself. With an impressive catalogue of designs, and the support of her evergrowing legion of fans, 2006 may just be the year of Jess. Without a doubt, she is off to a smashing start. Her bags have already been photographed with famous fashionistas like Beyonce Knowles, Sarah JessicaParker, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Lindsey Lohan.

Just recently, Jess had her remarkable designs included in the celebrity grabbag backstage at the Oscars. This is, by all means, no small feat. Every major company in every significant niche wants their product included in the Oscar gift bag. The mere act of having your product photographed with major Hollywood stars is a guarantee for overnight success but Jess is already well ahead of the game, in that regard.

Jess contributed 250 of her favorite purses to the Oscar cause, and she hasn’t looked back. In her own words, “I worked hard to let the world know that World According to Jess was the only bag designer included in the official Oscar gift bag.” For her efforts, she received countless press accolades and ended up with placements on some of the biggest television programs in America, including The Today Show.

World According to Jess has fun, funky handbags in countless shapes and sizes. Evening bags, cosmetic bags, wallets, diaper bags, travel bagsit appears that Jess has covered all of the bases. Some of my personal favorites include the smashing Arthack and the ohsohot Scandalous designs. If these designs are any indication of things to come, World According to Jess is going to be more like world domination. Ciao, Darlings!

Bali is a small, beautiful island famed for its unique arts and cultures, enchanting nature and the friendliness of its people. Most people come to Bali to experience the marvelously rich cultural heritage some come for the beaches and the waves, others for pure relaxation. Bali is situated in Indonesia, one of the best tourist destinations in Asia.

For those who plan to visit Bali, I herewith write Ten Essential Tips for Bali Vacation for your consideration.

1. To enter Bali, or Indonesia for that matter, make sure your passport is valid for six months upon entry into Indonesia, otherwise youll find yourself on the next plan out. You also must have proof of onward passage (i.e. a ticket out of Indonesia). Tourist, social and business visas can be obtained from any Indonesian embassy or consulate abroad. Citizens from Asian countries comprising Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei, Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippine and Laos do not require a visa, only a valid travel document. Visitors from some thirty countries are also provided with a 60days tourist visa issued directly upon arrival. Consult your travel agent or airlines, mention your nationality.

2. Money matters The rupiah is the basic unit of money. Foreign currency, in bank notes and travelers checks is best exchanged at major banks or authorized money changers. Do change money at a reputable looking location, use your own (or the hotels calculator before changing), as the ones used by some places can be a little inaccurate. Most important always count your money before you leave the place. Travelers checks are accepted at all major hotels and large shops some smaller shops will also accept them. Passport number is required. Do not forget to take passport (or a photocopy of your ID), with you at all time.

3. When changing large amounts of money please check each note carefully as there are a number of (noticeably) fake bills in circulation.

4. There have been a few cases of handbags being snatched after one has cashed money at banks or money changers. Put your money away in your bumbag or hold onto your handbag tightly.

5. Credit cards and charge cards To day many hotels, shops large and small accept plastic, with the proviso that an additional 3 is added onto your bill. However, when traveling to the village, take rupiah with you. Keep small change handy when riding in public transports or buying drinks at warung.

6. Make sure you either have personal insurance or travel insurance that will cover in any accidents. If you rent a car (must be with insurance), beware of motorbikes, as there are too many on the road. When you park the car, always remember to remove all your properties. Crime is on the increase and can spoil your holiday. Be careful with your belongings at all times. Cases of handbag snatching have been reported, so leave important documents in your hotel safe (carry photocopies). Do not forget to look and listen while you cross the road. Cars may stops, motorbikes may not!

7. Going to Bali, dress casually. Take light clothes, as the weather is warmto hot throughout the year. Remember Bali is a land where prayer and religious festivals take center stage. When visiting a temple or attending ceremonies, make it a point to respect local customs and traditions. Always wear a sarong and sash. Do not walk in front of people praying. Do not use a flash camera or point your camera to the priests face. Do try not to step on offerings in the street (walk around them). Women are not allowed to enter temples during menstruation.

8. Do not drug! It can carry the death penalty, and there are enough foreigners residing in Bali courtesy of the Government prison service.

9. Do not swim outside designated swimming areas on the beach, currentundertows can be very strong. Swim between the red and yellow flags. Dont swim too far out. Do not leave your belongings unattended on the beach.

10. Health International health certificates of vaccination against smallpox, cholera, and yellow fever are required only from travelers comprising from infected areas. Typhoid and paratyphoid vaccinations are optional but still advisable. Drink only distilled or mineral water, or water that has been boiled and eat a lot of fresh fruit do your body a favor. Dont worry too much about ice, its a government quality controlled in established bars and restaurants. Most people traveling through Bali get the infamous “Bali Belly” at some time or other. Taking and Imodium will stop you up. At the first time of discomfort (diarrhea and cramping), drink strong, hot tea and avoid all fruits and spicy foods. Taking charcoal tablets will help alleviate the cramping.

Bali is worth a visit, plan your vacation, go on line and book your preferred Bali hotels or contact your travel agent. Thanks you readers.

A handbag is a central part of a womans repetoire, as we all know. The proper or incorrect handbag can either make or clash with the best outfit. With disposable spending soaring, for a woman to own a top of the line handbag is not unheard of.

However, there are multiple women out there who are buying unauthentic versions both unknowingly and knowingly. Some of these buyers simply don’t distinguish between the two. On the other hand, the fake hand bag may take some of you in.

So, it necessary to know how to discern a legitimate bag from the knock off varieties. After all, you did want the genuine designer article, didnt you?

bag THE DIFFERENCE A knock out or fake handbag will be a knockoff of the original including fake logs. However, a lookalike handbag is a handbag that is inspired by the original.

Remember, that the fake handbags can also have legitimate features, such as lampo or ykk zippers, legitimate looking monogram placement, dust bags, legitimate tags, just about everything. You may even get a receipt!

Just remember a simple point. If the handbag is a valuable one the handbag will literally stand up on its own. This is because authentic bags use high class leather, which is so good, that it is strong enough to stand up on its own weight. Besides, the handles wont ever collapse. Knockout handbags have a tendency to collapse under their own weight!!

TIPS AHOY If you are still not clear on how to tell the true stuff from the knockout follow these hints

Always buy from a real seller or designer outlets. Never buy online or at sales. This will ensure the authenticity of the handbag. The only definite way to know your handbag is legitimate is to buy directly from designer stores or stores long established in selling designer ranges

Check the handbag for digits Most authentic handbags have either a control card or control number on the inside, as well as a certificate of authenticity. The number on the tag or control card should match the number printed on the lining. If you can, register your handbag.

Quality matters, so feel the bag. authentic bags will have soft leather or suede. Knock offs tend to feel more like plastic. Weight makes a difference. Real leather is heavier.

Small details make the difference. The lining and stitching can help to differentiate a fake handbag from a legitimate one. The knockout bags may have thread hanging or may be frayed in the corner. genuine handbags are also often lined with fabric with the brands specific logo or monogram on it.

On a knockout handbag the stitching may not be completely straight, or may be a different color. Even the color of the outside of the bag may be a little off. genuine handbags wont have imperfections in the straps. Zippers will match the skin color well and the designer run of bags may only truly come in a very small range of colors.

Very slick and over shiny highly processed leather is often an indication of a fake. Poor uneven stitching is a sure dead give away of a fake.

Check the logo. Pay particular care to the pattern of printed monogram styles. There may be simple spelling mistakes, although the patterns may be the same Welldesigned bags with logo fabrics never run the lettering into the seam lines.

The hardware is significant. On knockoffs, the hardware tends to be oversized. Always check the placement of the hand bag and the distressing on bags. The trademark nameplate may be huge on a knockoff. many authentic designs also have details such as a logo or letter on the zippers and clasps.

You can also keep in mind that designers tend to be repetitive. Each style handbag will have an exactly same pattern that is followed. Nothing will vary. The patterns, the logo all will follow the same line, stitches. There is never anything haphazard about true designer bags. The same number of stitches is used and each stitch is the same size!

In authentic handbags zippers will glide smoothly, hardware is weighty everything is exact and is of the highest quality. There will be no fly tabs to the zips.

Now, with these tips you can easily locate the fake handbags from the genuine ones, and be sure that what you are getting is the genuine item, that true blue genuine handbag you have always wanted!

Commission Junction is one of the 800 pound gorillas of Affiliate Marketing. CJ is part of the publicly held ValueClick, which earned 39 million last year on marketing programs, including affiliate programs, email marketing and software for advertising agencies.

CJ handles affiliate programs for a lot of the big names, including Home Depot, Yahoo and Citibank.

Can you make money with Commission Junction? Like most affiliate programs it depend on the theme or niche of your web site, and how well you match your content and the CJ programs.

Our spider ran through the site recently, and Ive made a list of the major categories and their average Earnings Per Click (EPC). You will recall that EPC is calculated by taking the total commission payout for the advertiser and dividing it by the number of clicks that advertiser gets, so EPC measures how profitable each click is for the publisher. We used 7 day EPC, which measures EPC across the last seven days.

The spider also only saves the top ten advertisers in each categorysubcategory, and since some advertisers are in more than one categorysubcategory it tends to skew the results a bit (higher). We came up with an average of .56 (fiftysix cents) per click across the board averaging every category and subcategory.

Weve created a metric we call True EPC or TEPC, which measures the actual Earnings Per Single Click, rather than the earnings per hundred clicks that companies like CJ use to make the numbers look bigger.

Note I only included the first 5 categories here, and only part of the data. All of the data can be found at www.affiliateblog.com.

Heres a very interesting list by category

Category True EPC Top Ad TEPC

Financial Services 2.41 Get Smart 32.98
Insurance 1.25 American Life 2.98
Home Garden 1.16 Sunsetter 8.21
Web Services 1.13 Yahoo Hosting 3.75
Computer Electronics 0.87
Accessories 0.80
Health Beauty 0.76

What does it all mean? Well, to me it means that if you have a website that gets visitors interested in Loans, Insurance, Sunsetter awnings or Yahoo hosting, you should be a member of Commission Junction.

More generally, if you think you can get decent clickthrough on Finance, Home Garden, Insurance or Web Services, I would include some Commission Junction ads.

Some commentary on the top 4 ads what strikes me right off the bat is that the little Yahoo text ad at 4 pulls almost four bucks. I actually signed up for that program myself, and Im going to put it on this site when I get the chance. My calculations tell me that 15 to 17 clicks results in a signup.

Whats the flip side of all this data? There are categories that arent so great at CJ. If your site is about web services advice, handbags, new age, car travel or rentals, commercial insurance or weddings, Id look elsewhere. Another way to interpret the data would be to say that the marketers CJ has for those categories dont pull well. Still another would be that the type of sites that sign with CJ just dont attract the type of people that would click on ads in those categories. No matter how you slice it it still comes out the same it seems like CJ isnt the place to look to fill that ad space.

Not content with my mountain of data, I opened the firehose a little more. I ran a program that compared the average EPC for Paypersale programs vs. PayPerLead programs. For persale, the EPC was .36. For perlead it was .67. Intutitively I would say that advertisers pay more for sales than leads, so the clickthrough on leads has to be much higher on CJ, which also seems correct since less of a commitment is required from the visitor for a lead than a sale. So if you have a choice in programs between sale and lead, take the lead program.

So what did we learn here? It seems to me that if your site visitors would respond to banners or text links about mortgage financing, insurance, gardening or web services, add some CJ banners to the mix. What the heck, add them anyway if you have room, because experimentation is important to success in affiliate marketing. If you have a site with content that fits those categories or is a general interest or entertainment site, there are many good programs to choose from at CJ.

Lastly, I did a quick comparison of the average Adsense payout (using 80 of the average of keyword bids for different categories), and Adsense comes out a better EPC about a quarter of the time. So check Adsense first before you put up a CJ ad that has an EPC of a dollar or more. A big banner ad vs. an Adsense ad may seem like a good idea because more exposure may translate into more clicks, but you can fit three Adsense text ads in that banner space.

There are many hidden insights in the data, and I encourage you to go to the website, print out the page and take a look. There might be some terrificpaying programs you can ad to your website.

Id like to put together a free weekly email service that provides stats like the ones on this page. If this is something you might be interested in, drop me a line.
