Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Yard shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Yard offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Yard at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Yard? Wrong! If the Yard is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Yard then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Yard? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Yard and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Yard wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Yard then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Yard site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Yard, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Yard, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

{{unit of length||m= 0.9144|accuracy=4 -->A yard (abbreviation: yd) is the name of a Units of measurement of length in a number of different systems, including English units, Imperial units, and United States customary units. Its size can vary from system to system. The most commonly used yard today is the international yard which by definition is equal to 0.9144 metre.

The yard is used as the standard unit of field length measurement in both the American football and Canadian football games of football (although Canada has officially adopted the Metrication).

A corresponding unit of area is the square yard.

Yard is also a slang word, used particularly in currency trading, for one billion units of a currency, e.g., a yard of dollars is $1bn, thus a buyer of a billion dollars could say "I'm a buyer of a yard of dollars." Bloomberg.com: Financial Glossary

Equivalence to other units of length 1 international yard is equal to:

• 8.2 ganton
• 0.5 fathom (1 fathom is equal to 2 yards)
• 3 Foot (unit of length) (1 foot is a third of a yard)
• 36 inches
• 0.9144 metre (1 metre is equal to about 1.0936 international yards)

The early yard was divided by the binary method into two, four, eight, and sixteen parts called the half-yard, span, finger, and nail. Two yards are a fathom.s on the wall of Royal Observatory Greenwich, London, Great Britain depicting length measures - 1 yard (3 feet), 2 feet, 1 foot, 6 inches (1/2 foot), and 1 inch.

Historical origin The yard derives its name from the word for a straight branch or rod, rather the kind used for punishment or spanking young children, although the precise origin of the weights and measures is not definitely known. Some believe it derived from the double cubit, or that it originated from cubic measure, others from its near equivalents, like the length of a stride or pace. One postulate was that the yard was derived from the girth of a person's waist, while another claim held that the measure was invented by Henry I of England as being the distance between the tip of his nose and the end of his thumb. These are believed to be more likely standardising events than inventing of the measure.
