A Powerful Online Shopping Tip
Spam-related industry web sites are dismissed quite quickly from the GiftsForYou.Biz link partnering evaluation process. This is quite sad for those that offer legitimate products in these industries, but the majority of sites in spam-related industries are mere hoarders, looking for unsuspecting surfers and online shoppers with loose browsers and system security flaws so they can wrap their code around your system and any information it can provide.
That in mind, here's a powerful online shopping tip for you: Have two browsers installed on your computer; one for well known web sites you visit frequently, like GiftsForYou.Biz, and one for finding items where you know pop-usurps, info-grabbers and code-jabbers are well-known. Such are sites as lyrics, clip-art, cell phone accessories, pharmaceuticals, and even medical research on specific medical areas that are known for off-topic usurping (pardon the gerund). The browser for spam-related items should have Java, JavaScript, Cookies, and ActiveX scripting all turned off, whereas your 'normal' browser can breathe free and smell the cookies as true customer-centric sites intend them to.
I hope this helps, and that you'll take stock that GiftsForYou.Biz is a 'breathe free' site.

Partners (Resources) Are Back Up Again - Gift-Centralized
Battening down the hatches, so to speak: GiftsForYou.Biz has gone vertical! Resources on a site should reflect similar goals for a visiting customer, which is why every site is evaluated before allowing a link to be placed amongst the GiftsForYou.Biz Partners pages. They should closely relate to what you are most likely looking for; gifts.
- Some of the new rules (requirements, considerations) in affect are:
- Except for special circumstances, a webmaster's e-mail address should be of the same domain as the site they host.
- Looking for gifts? Sites that are solely information or affiliate-based won't get you there quicker. They're middle-man based. Resources should take you directly to another store, not another directory or listing of stores.
- Pop-ups, pop-unders, and browser resizers are quickly dismissed - no matter what their rating.
- Spam-related industry sites are just as quickly dismissed. See the next GiftsForYou.Biz Blog providing a powerful online shopping tip relating to spam-related web sites.
Here are the Partner stats as they currently stand after the vertical climb to link relatedness: 326 links; 307 are actively reciprocating. That's a 94.2% reciprocation rate. Partnered sites like these make up the web.
And a refresher on my personal philosophy for partners on GiftsForYou.Biz: No linking to sites that I wouldn't buy from myself. So, if you happen to find a questionable one in there, please let me know - I'd hate to learn the hard way ;) And if I find any I've missed, I'll remove them post haste.

Hello Keith,
I am glad to hear that my order has shipped and will be there in time for the birthday. I searched the internet for hours to find a merchant that could deliver this gift on time and most of them took 3-4 weeks for delivery. Your site was the only one I found that could deliver when I wanted. I will keep you bookmarked and will be doing more business with your site again. Thank you very much! Have a great day!

Accessibility
The main two GiftsForYou.Biz pages, http://giftsforyou.biz/ and http://giftsforyou.biz/gfy.php have been altered to (hopefully) accommodate the more visually impaired visitors. These changes shouldn't show much difference at all to those with 20/20 or close, it should make the site much more friendly for those who have to increase font sizes and/or use accessibility utilities.
Although still not perfect, this is a conscious effort, and reports of any glitches, inconsistencies, or other types of issues would be greatly appreciated. GiftsForYou.Biz is not in the UK, but the concept of legally enforcing accessibility to commercial sites makes sense, and these steps will hopefully guide GiftsForYou.Biz in the right direction.

There are 2 Million in the UK who need to use some kind of accessibility software.
It's a bloody big market to cut off.
