Bookkeeping is the science and art of systematic recording, classifying and summarizing of financial transactions or events of a business in a set of books. A business transaction means the exchange of money or items of value between two or more persons.Spicer and Pegler defined Bookkeeping as the systematic recording of the transactions in a manner enabling the financial relationships of a business with other persons to be clearly disclosed, and the cumulative effect of a transaction on the financial position of the business to be correctly ascertained. J. R. Baltiboi has observed that Bookkeeping is the art of recording business dealings in a set of books.The recording of business transaction involves: analysis of transactions from the source document, recording those transactions, posting them in a ledger, and so forth. All business transactions are first entered in the journals. All these various types of entries need to be classified.

#1. The Long Url Problem
Have you ever seen an ad where you are asked to click on an affiliate URL so long that it stretches over 2 lines, like this
http://www/anysite.com/cgi-bin/dir1/dir2/.cgi?code=123RT&type=102 35&subid=89715
Do you think your reader will bother to do the necessary cut and paste to put it in a browser?
Probably not.
And that's probably one lost sale.
And even a one line affiliate link may exceed the permissible length for some ad posting requirements.
The solution: use a short tracking URL.
#2. Losing Your Affiliate Code
As an affiliate you may have your affiliate code embedded in a link something like this:
http://www.abc.com/123
Some customers will bypass the affiliate code and just type in the home URL http://www.abc.com (possibly because they think that they will be paying extra for an agent's commission)
The solution: use a tracking URL - so that your affiliate code number is never seen.
#3. Make Your Ad Stand Out
You may have seen search engine results showing near identical listings for the same product, differing only in an affiliate code appended to the URL.
Your listing here will be just one of many unless you make it stand out. So bypass the standard affiliate URL and use a tracking URL.
#4. How Effective Are The Links
You can measure and compare the effectiveness of the different banners or text links the affiliate programs provide you by using a tracking URL.
#5. Changing Links
If an affiliate company change their links then your existing ads, wherever they are posted, become worthless. But if you use a tracking URL you simply revise the affiliate URL at the tracking control centre.

When considering the executive management decision to launch a mobile oil change business whether it is a small business or a large Corporation there is much to think about besides the obvious things of employee training, equipment, scheduling, marketing, business structure, cash flow and growth. Such unique businesses like mobile oil change business will require additional Business Management Decisions; especially things such as Environmental Controls and perhaps some alternative marketing plans.You see, although a Mobile Oil Change Business is rather a simple automotive on-site service business it also makes sense that getting to all those customers and getting rid of the oil collected will take significant planning. When discussing this business management case study with a gentleman going into the business recently he stated;“With the networking approach you mentioned I think I could easily have all the business I need, still have to figure out what to do with all that spent oil though.”Indeed and these issues must be ironed out before anyone gets too gung-ho with the business plan proformas. Now then to get rid of this used motor oil perhaps we should

Working as a web designer and web marketer I spend a lot of time everyday looking at websites. One thing that amazes me is the amount of sites that do not have a logo.A logo is the personality of your business. It should be the first thing someone sees when they come to your site. It should tell about your business, who you are and what you do. You should look at developing a logo as important as developing a name for your site/business.A logo builds brand awareness. Can you picture At&T, Coke, Ford, Chevrolet without their logos? All of these companies have logos because they know they build brand awareness. And coupled with the logo is a slogan that each company feels separates their product from the pack or that makes it interesting for their current and future customers.How important is a Slogan? The tissue was first marketed as a "face towel." Sales where not good for many years, but when it was reintroduced as a "throw-a-way" handkerchief it become successful. Their new slogan, "don't put a cold in your pocket," took an old idea and gave it a new success.How many slogans can we come up with?"Add some muscle to your site" Geeks On Ster

Recently I spent more money than I intended to on a new computer. The sale went beautifully. The salesperson made me feel comfortable, the salesperson created trust, and I quickly realized that my salesperson indeed had the answers I needed to pick the right computer. The one I chose was perfect; it would be delivered to my house early the following week.Shortly after the sale was all said and done, a strange feeling of loss crept up on me. The feeling grew in strength as I stared at the only tangible remnants of my expensive decision – a crinkled credit card receipt.What more did I expect?Perhaps some cuddling. I mean, come on, that was a lot of money. I wouldn’t even get to play with it for another week. Remembering the smile and handshake I received from my competent salesperson did little to stop my feeling of want from turning into a full-blown self-interrogation about why I spent so much on a computer.What began as a tickle of grief was now a well-developed case of buyer’s remorse. This buyer’s remorse was partly due to the fact that I had nothing to show for my purchase. Sure, I would have it all installed within a week or so, but that didn

There are many online business opportunities available on the internet and the majority of them are scams. There are some good internet businesses but it can be difficult for somebody looking for an online opportunity to ascertain the ones that work from the myriads of get rich quick schemes.Do not be fooled by all the schemes that advertise get rich quick schemes with only a few hours of work each week. In reality an online business is just like every other business in that hard work, long hours, determination to succeed and perseverance are required.Here are typical headlines that one sees when searching for an online business opportunity:"I made $35,000 last week and I only worked 5 hours!" "Work Online from Home and make $20K a Month - 100% Proven & Guaranteed!" "Make $1,000,000 in 6 Months - The Easy Way!"Do not be taken in by these headlines. If it was possible to make so much money so quickly and in such a short time would they actually reveal the secret to you for "Only $229"?And why is that they only have limited opportunities available at this price? "BUY NOW" they scream as "THIS SECRET IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR A SELECTED FEW

#6. Affiliate Program Discontinued
Similarly if an affiliate program is discontinued you just change your tracking URL to a new page where you explain the circumstances and point your visitor to your other promotions.
#7. Better Affiliate Stats
Not all affiliate programs provide you with stats about visitors. And if they do are they adequate ?
Compare a basic monthly figure say
- Jan: 39 hits
with a detailed analysis such as
- Jan 12: 10 hits
- Jan 13: 2 hits
- Jan 20: 21 hits
- Jan 21: 6 hits
where you can relate those dates to particular ad campaigns.
Tracking URLs will give you these improved figures.
#8. Checking Affiliate Stats
Even if you do receive good stats from your affiliate program it still makes sense to use tracking URLs so that you can compare your figures with theirs.
A large discrepancy could mean errors in their software or (hopefully not) fraudulent activity on their part.
An alternative reason is that their measurement takes place when their page is fully loaded rather than at the start, indicating that visitors are clicking away because it is taking too long to load.
