Using Credit Cards over the Internet Continues to Haunt Internet Users.

E Trusted Reviews recently ran into a news article about an update on users who are comfortable with using their credit card to purchase products and services on the internet. Recently published information in the EMarketer shows that only 6.4% of people are are comfortable and this is up from 5.5% in 2001.

Why is this important? Because we are missing out on many commissions that are lost because of people who just can't bring them self to purchase any thing over the internet. There is allot of people who are searching the internet every day and since only 6.4% of the people are comfortable with purchasing goods online, we are losing out big time.

This doesn't mean that 93.6% of the people are not going to buy, it just means they are scared to buy something. Some of them will still use their credit card and many of them might look for alternative ways to purchase the product.

With a rise in secure payment servers like Pay Pal, Clickbank, Go Daddy, and others, this number could turn around in the years to come. As affiliates we need to make sure that we are providing customers with information about WHY their credit card information will be ok. Affiliates reach a large number of people and if we are getting the word out, then hopefully we can raise this international average of 6.4% and in return, increase profits in our own pockets.

There will always be a large amount of people who will not purchase anything with a credit card over the internet. But the percentage is high right now, and it must change in order for many affiliates to make more money on the internet.

Sam Baker, Owner of E Trusted Reviews said. "We are killing ourselves by not comforting our own customers. The internet has turned into a bunch of mysterious and scandalous content and the users who don't know much about the internet, should have a reason to be scared."

Could this be true? Have we killed ourselves? If you think about it, their are many people that associate their products with the word "scam" in order to attract these petrified people. Little did the affiliate know, that they just wasted their money because the user will not use his or her credit card over the internet anyway. Yet the affiliate continues to antagonize many different internet users.

We might never find out what makes people not purchase goods over the internet as much as they should. Maybe it is just the plain fact that many people are scared of identity theft and just don't know how to protect themselves. Maybe affiliates and webmasters are responsible. But one thing is true, if we do not start to make a change now, that is going to be all that is left in our pockets. A bunch of change.
