Short of not shopping online, a few helpful tips might be to only shop at online retailers that use Paypal, bill-me-later or some other non-credit card payment method. If you must use a credit card, use a low rent, low limit card that you use just for online purchases. This will make it easier to survey the monthly statement as to what has been bought online and spot 'odd' purchases. And never authorize the retailer to keep the numbers on file. Be careful out there.
