First things first. Buying a barge. You need to know that when you are ready to purchase a barge and you go to jita to get the best deal that you are seriously surrounded by gankers waiting for the right person to fly out of the station with an improperly fit barge or heaven forbid a standard industrial hauler with a barge in the cargo hold. In fact you are going to be swimming with the sharks for at least five jumps maybe more. So it is very important that when you are heading home in your new toy that you fly it out fitted with armor and shields. As much as it can hold and nothing in the cargo. You can put your mining lasers on and avoid little destroyer gankers if you have shield and armor extensions. If you do that they wont touch you.

Dont Cry everyone gets Ganked
Ganking terms are set by the Gankers so remember that sometimes theres nothing you can do. You just got ganked. But its EVE and that happens. Dont cry about it too much as everyone will start to ignore you.
In this video there is one gank that cought my attention as very impressive. Someone warped in with a battleship fitted with Smart Bombs. He took out 9 exhumers and one standard Barge. So as you can see if you are the particular target that someone is looking for there is very little you can do about it.
