The A-to-Z of Payment Processors, Merchant Account and Paypal Alternatives

Am updating this article: Have setup a website that now has all the relevant information:

http://OnlinePaymentsGuide.com

A lot of people continuously bombard me with the questions as to who the best online payment processor is, from where can I get an online merchant account for their website to accept payments, is there an alternative of Paypal, How can I get a paypal account, etc.
