Skirt Spot is giving away five $100 gift certificates this month. Entries are being accepted now through midnight on June 29, 2007 at www.skirtspot.com/sweeps. The five winners will be chosen at random on June 30.

The current giveaway is the first in a periodic series. Skirt Spot is open to partnerships with magazines, web-publishers and others for giveaways tailored to specific communities or readerships. "Giveaways have always been a fantastic way for publishers to create buzz and excitement among their readers, who are ultimately the real winners," says Craig Cochrane, Skirt Spot's president and founder.

The ACH gateway will allow web site owners to accept payments from their customers by enabling the funds to be debited directly from the customer’s bank account. This eliminates the need for a credit card, which is convenient for the consumer and an excellent payment vehicle for the merchant. There are fewer underwriting requirements than are normally requested by merchant credit card applications.

"A large percentage of the U.S. population does not own or use a credit card, making it impossible for them to buy products over the Internet," says Richard Price, senior associate at Liberty Enterprises Inc.
