I have an ecommerce web site that sells intangible goods. Every month I detect around 100 fraudulent transactions. I have the credit card numbers, and other data (exp date, CVV, name, address). I tried to report them to the credit card companies, but no one seems to care.
There should be some place for this, and Visa could pay a few cents per reported card, I don't understand why they don't.
By default adwords places the ads also on the Google Network (the famous ads by Gooooogle). The website owner gets some revenue if users click on the link. Inscupulous webmasters pay people to visit sites and randomly click on ads.
Does anyone know how much Google refunds advertisers for "quality adjustment"? It is probably above the difference between 0.16% and the typical 2-3%.
The Big Mac index is so good because the price of the Big Mac involves a little bit of everything: tradable products (meat, bread, etc), labor, services, rental, etc. It is cheap, and usually not subject to any special taxes. The iPod is an imported luxury good, and thus its price is subject to arbitrary decisions by dealers and governments. No good.
