The whole point of attracting comments to a blog or site is to generate reaction and stimulate thought. Many domainers use the opportunity to promote their chosen domain by leaving a link, yet they do sometimes in a manner designed to render their entry a deletion. This would seem contrary to the goal of intended link inclusion. Here are a few tips to remember when submitting intended links for traffic and referral indexing.

1. Niche Out

If you are going to promote a niche domains, post it at other niche domain blogs or sites. These forums will be much stickier attractors than a different subject and keyword based site no matter how many links you generate. Work with your keywords and find massively visited sites likely to get a breakdown of the total traffic. This part, totaled from hundreds of sites, can be the growth of a huge fanbase.

2. Number Up

One day’s link building and seed campaigning won’t get the job done. A thorough and systematic saturation of a category of sites with matching keywords to your site’s will be the goal. A growing numerical measurement of links should be the target data object. Alexa.com is a good way to map this. Record your site’s Alexa.com referrer site growth by day. With a steady campaign of submittals, the bots should be grinding the metrics in your favor.

3. Stay Relevant

It must be the case that too many bloggers simply bulk approve all their comments or don’t know how to employ the Akismet tool. But a serious blogger will weed through the spam and kill what does not belong. That is why I am surprised when surfing my blog comments on a domain blog to see so many unrelated urls promoted.  If it doesn’t help the webmaster or the poster, why would it feasibly get approved? And why post a completely unrelated question about anything there? Wasted effort that will get deleted.

A travel domain, mixed with a posted Hotmail address alias, with a comment about a topic unrelated to either is not exactly SEO fodder. The goal is to seed the blog field with as many acceptable (and preferable) comments as possible. These will get the destination blog noticed by the search engines, for the right reasons, in turn promoting better ranking for SEO results. This will putatively drive hits to the seeded link.

4. Spin a Page of Web Links

Web Links functions to show all the compass points of an individual webmaster’s personality. Political discussion might sit side by side with cartoons. Action movies might sit side by side with a religious affiliation. These links can make a ‘professional” site look more personalized and less coldly prone to sheer traffic tricks. Individualized site factors like this make a visitor remember the site as more unique.

The domain sales approach needs qualified data. The domainer customer for a domain name resale will ask tougher questions and demand relevant statistics for page rank claims and boasted-about traffic volumes. This means demonstrated metrics and dated reports should evolve over time of ownership of the domain.The values of the traffic and page ranking should be common denominators across the board, not a flash in the pan from only one.

Page ranking from the buyer’s preferred source of information, and domain name value analysis from the buyer’s chosen instrument of domain valuation will rule the sale. Domain name brokers and domain estimation tools are meant to support discussion and negotiation, but none of them are final verdicts on site value.

Domainers should maintain records of status checks at each page ranking site over time. These tables can be valuable when demonstrating domain name value. Domain name page rank changes over time. Even content and subject matter from Internet users can change with no webmaster control. If a change occurs in the maximum page ranking or SEO results, they can point to historical periods of record traffic volume and SEO popularity.

Domainers will look up and evaluate the time the current owner has had the domain registered to them and evaluate the domain name potential in part with respect to what the current owner has done with it. It is likely that traffic and clickthrough patterns were more robust in the past than currently, Domain name buyers will want to know why. Referrer traffic may be made available to the prospective buyer as the seller sees fit.

One of the most current value-adds to a domain sale is the site database. For a blog site or a open source application, a domain name that comes with a database can be valuable indeed. Although some domainers do vend their legacy databases after domain sale elsewhere, the best putative use would be to naturally support the domain name organically and linguistically associated with its seo-coordinated and name-associated database table.

If the website database is packaged with the domain sale, a cash value should be attributed to it in addition to the metrics governing the domain name valuation.The new buyer of any domain cannot assume all material published in association of that url or site name belongs to the new owners. Explicit terms in the domain sale contract must be negotiated for this. If the database table and its contents are to be rendered in a certain form.

One good way to protect the free use of a database without the domain owner knowing about it is to age the HTTP written expiration date of cache files so the past users can’t pull down from memory legacy content. If the site owner or webmaster decided a body of content (by category, for example) needs to be archived and removed from public server view, they can reserve this content for future resale without it necessarily being attached to the domain name.

Adding original images to a blog or application article site engine can also increase the value of the database. If the database is paired or packaged with the domain name, explicit inclusion of the photography, any video or sound media, and graphics files must be stipulated in writing. Words and objects to support a domain name’s value, gathered over the course of domain development efforts over time , can be an important negotiating factor and value addition to any domain name sale.

One of the unhappy reminders that a domain is making no return on investment is that the dollar sign in the GoDaddy domain manager does not have an impression. The Godaddy parking product is a service that cost money to make money. While that makes sense from a certain point of view, those who know that Google Adsense also offers a similar service for free little understand the added value their premium buys at Godaddy.

Like many domainers, I view the value-add from a Godaddy service as a convenience when snapping between accounts, juggling hosting logins, and tickling domain name administration responsibilities. Of course, the service to enhance a domain’s profit from either GoDaddy or Google Adsense means little if no net profit comes to each domain’s money making channel.

Domain placement inside the ad serving revenue systems is critical to the dollars and sense monetary return of any domain investment.  I find the Godaddy cash parking solution an interesting test of Adsense feasibility. If it (the site content, keywords, and links) will pass the Godaddy CashParking qualification standards, it’s probable that Google also will accept the content construction on the domain, and vice versa.

Each revolution of the domain development cycle remains more concretely value -adding than any other domain marketing service or promotion item. Four keywords and some links and a graphic or banner thrown in and the domainer is the proud owner of a (yawn) template formatted parked page. Yippy skippy, sound the call to hounds. Alert the media. (Let the yawns be heard from Peoria to the Three Gorges Dam).

The profit over time to recoup the domain acquisition includes the registration fee, hosting fees, and any subfees like auction premiums and premium auction purchase prices. Add in the sliver of a monthly hosting cost divided by number of total of domain sites hosted at that hosting company and you’ll have your derivative monetary goal and revenue target.

For the domainer who has thousands of domain names languishing, the parked page is simply time management. But the parked page was never meant to be a permanent solution. It was only supposed to be a short and temporary detour on the information superhighway.  A lay-by, a soft shoulder in heavy domaining weather when the webmaster’s plate was full. Parking was supposed to be what webmasters did when their site was a flat tire and needed to go into the shop.

I am always disappointed to see parked page because it seems to me a domain name worth buying has a site worth making lurking behind the domain name transfer. Parked pages are models of domain development which hinge on the barest modicum of content, for my money almost a haphazard shrug of a site. To me the challenge of domain development and site potential for site use, for sites of all types, is to expansive to default out of.

There are so many things people go to the Internet for. They want education, they want advice, they want entertainment and employment. They want to be entertained while being educated, and they want to be advised about how to shop.They want to know more about things to buy, how to buy them, and who to buy the from. And they want to know the best information they can get, on every topic under the sun moon and stars.

Every name has a page waiting to be developed to spring forth. People want to do what they always liked to do, with broader scope and greater choice. Online users of the internet want to be educated about how to shop and want to know how to be employed shopping online. They don’t want to read the books, they want to read excerpts and snippets and online reviews and comments about the books. They want to read about the writers of the books and Google them incessantly.

Every subject imaginable has  a market, a website, a links directory, an article repository, a shopping portal or a video hosting destination model that can adapt to it. Dare I say it, even a blog! After reviewing all that potential, do four keywords and some links really do the project justice? Does a competent webmaster want to display some lookalike template that tells visitors “Continue snoring, go away”?

And why on God’s (for the moment) green earth would you pay for it?

Gasdallas.com makes an excellent geo name and a possible gas price reference site. yet even a geo based zip site for the lowest gas price around Dallas is in addition to a natural gas site. Texas is a trillion dollar state revenue compendium of over 5 natural resources, including methane and natural gas. HotelDesigns.com would be a fascinating site for .pdfs and architectural schematics of famous hotels.

Warcraftguild.com is an exciting name for World of Warcraft and niche computer game players. Shorty domain zxc.us also comes up for bidding in the droplist at Pool.com today. Financecareers.com as a domain would make an excellent job and education portal including online education possibilities. Tilers.com is either a dominoes master community or a home and garden resource and retail consumer platform. Linkdin.com is the final typo attraction in the Pool deleting drops today.

1. Build an Iphone App

The surprising news about Iphone apps is that they aren’t original apps, just tweaked versions proofed as gateways to the real apps for device users to tap for use. Even a directory site of preferred iPhone apps by category (travel, business, music, entertainment0 makes a valuable resources for spot-bloggers or sometime readers who want one site to check to get the urls they need. Make a nonsense word domain name the brand and the app name.

2. Make a Walking Tour

Know those museum tours where people walk around with headphones on, absorbing the information without having to scan plaques or read brochures? Ever listened to or seen an awful piece of marketing material on a place you know like the back of your hand? You could probably spend one hour recording stream of consciousness memories and do it better. So go ahead, do it better.

And the market for directions is unbelievable. Last week I saw three different groups of drivers looking to connect to the Wi-Fi at  McDonald’s to get driving directions and hotels. Just verbal streaming of how to navigate local roads and offramps will be a huge attraction for visitors and tourists. Is it a California place? Offer the details En Espanol, hasta luego. You just got twice the clicks.

This is the way to wring value out of  a geo domain name. Those people leaning out of their car window to ask which way is North, where is the freeway, and how far is the Starbucks? Those are your target market. Hook the whole thing up to a recorded phone message. They can print 20 pieces of paper or dial a recorded version of your site or zip code at $2.50 a minute. Think of the possibilities…..

The only thing standing between your authorship of a walking (or driving) tour of anything, be it your hometown or any geographical attraction, is your making it. Work the microphone and upload the YouTube. Then link it up! Think how much easier tourists would rather listen to the list of available nearby restaurants than read it on a site. As some people say, it’s hard to get to Beverly Hills from Beverly Hills.  Lightbulb!

3. Make Your Passion Pay

Got keyboard habits that lead to Madden mischief? World of Warcraft warfare skimming your time away? Those Farmville elves on FaceBook sucking away the most creative part of your day? Make those hours (days, weeks) spent churning at a game pay off. Build a site with cheats, tips, personal anecdotes and tricks for new(b) players to learn by. Anything to do with gaming has wheels online right now.

4. Niche Targets

Niche hobbies like ballroom dancing to skeet shooting will want a presence and a community. And these community members will want sites that operate as portals to direct them to the best and latest resources online serving their interest. If you can’t find a good site for your chosen passion, chances are nobody has built it yet. Bringing one site link and short text entry a day to your hobby or niche interest blog and reviewing it can make a destination in three weeks.

5. Simplify Something Technical/Medical

Nobody’s got time to read the manual/desk reference anymore. But everyone’s got time to watch a few YouTubes and suck up the details. Shave away the gluck, and relate the necessary step/symptoms in English. Clarify and define new terms and features for any product/condition. Think about how painful it was to learn that simple trick or fact for dealing with a  problem. The information sharing will set you free.

What to use for ideas? Think about your own frustration points for installation, programming, and device fixing. Think about what symptoms alarm people. Give them a well to go to. People are scared of two things: Doctors and technology. You are not the first to feel the pain. Include an Adobe .pdf of the real brochure or links to the source for those who really want to drill down.

It stands to reason that with language development happening in online hegemony areas like Asia and Russia, other alphabets and keyboards to assist might not be far behind. Videos and short translated abstracts of text and web content might be a valuable niche for domainers to invest in.

With video, audio, and text content sites streaming content of every kind in every format all over the web, how long until a massive movement to the online delivery of sign language translations and translated sign language content is here? Physically challenged users the world over using sign language speak one universal language. That’s a demographic no domainer can ignore.

Likely codes and letter series for signing and sign language sites are the American Sign Language (ASL), Pidgin Sign Language (PSE), and Sign Exact English (SEE) terms. Translated materials, services, and websites could prove intriguing and sticky to many global SEO enabled data researchers. For web entrepreneurs, selling directories of sign language enabled sites, as well as directories for products and materials to utilize signing could pay off downstream.

1. Trim Your Sails

Combine necessary elements of the post into a spare text block skeleton. Indent when necessary and italicize quotes. Spellcheck and eye the effect of overly dense text blocks for readability. Use a smaller more resolute image if possible. Use type that reads well in smaller font sizes. Headlines and titles to article sections serve as pointers for search bots and news aggregators.

Keeping a blog entry concise is critical to not losing viewer attention. Nobody likes endless edifications of blank text. Use icons of the first letter of each post if no icon is available to make the visual impact display more punch. Make sure your sentences and paragraphs explain each concept and progress from point to point. Use the conclusionary sentences to make a reductio title.

2. Be Succinct

Alliterations, snappy phrases, and key terms make excellent lookup posts because often students and researchers are trying to garner basic knowledge in the context of prose usage. Bold text for glossary terms and example usages gathered together in one section make an excellent expansion of existing blog site content. Each can be linked to blog entry conforming to that term’s use.

Avoid repetition of grammatical stumbling blocks like “you” and “I” and other writing crutches when producing a formal blog entry for RSS feed potential. Work consistently in one voice, speaking as  ‘I”, “we,” or the third person throughout the site. Voice changes can be jarring for continuous readers and require editing for those webmasters using your material for a feed or entry source.

Site browsers will be looking for things to put on their site with a link back or for reference text they can absorb easily. Reduce stock phrases, trendy argot, circuitous descriptions, and unnecessary argumentative doglegs into unknown territory. Webmasters for blog sites have to be their own editors. Crop bloat text into a new entry for later on. Post tags that describe the overall post as well as terms most often included in the text blocks.

3. Make the Abstract a Mini-Me

Pick and choose from the wittiest and snappiest of your blog entry text to make the basic summary paragraph a reader-grabbing abstract. Since many news feeding sites use the abstract as the base of the page or section, readers will browse the text blocks for their chosen glimpse of the cited sites. Clip the best stuff or rewrite the basic points of the blog post into a mirror explanation or post description. Construct a lead that indicates the quality of the text inside the blog post.

4. Break Out The Categories into Keyword Channels.

Make sure your posts are stored in separate categories and topically appropriate data information blocks. Make sure enough tags and terms are noted for each blog entry to realize the result for those terms in the Search bar on your blog site. Map a site plan for site users of different levels of experience, such as (for this site)  beginner domainers or elite webmasters or premium domain name brokers.

Test these results yourself.  Scan each post using the Textalyser.net tool and make sure for key word tags and density “stars” repeated most often for those posts the Search result on your site renders these particular posts first. Mapping posts around each category and specific keyword density makes categories into a keyword utility of multiple channels of concentrated SEO search values.

1. Detail Your Database

The entry of every blog post and article story in a content editor is a database record. if you need to use a table and re-import the data, so be it. Copying and pasting large amount so keywords and terms can be easier this way. Inside the hosting account the file for the database can be downloaded. A database utility like MS Access or Excel conversion an showcase the raw website data.

Use Textalyser.net to verify search term density. Dates are not good search terms. Seeing the keywords, tags, and density laid out in a different format can change the webmaster’s perspective and improve the strategy of the site. The need for differentiation in search terms and tags is shown when the attributes are reviewed in table form. terms should relate back to the domain name.

Use actively searched synonyms of your best strategic search words and make sure  your search bar returns the highest result of these density terms in your articles or blog entry posts. Identify barren ranges of words that will furnish additional meaning for your readers and bots alike. Review attributes of the data table before uploading and reserve an extra “clean” copy of the database file before editing.

2. Hiding Content

For various reasons webmaster can hide content from specific searchability sources like Google. Evaluate these reasons for your site and coordinate areas of “hidden” code for greater SEO discoverability. Ads on the site can affect the way the search bots see your site and the indices they use to rank it. HTML comments can mask the ad density of your site. Evaluate if the domain name is served by the appearance of every ad present.

3. Building Categories

The inclusion of a category titled “uncategorized” in the mark of an amateur webmaster. A word that includes the search terms most densely used in those entries should be the new category term. The website’s domain name (and synonyms) should be present often. From time to time the direction the blog or site is taking may necessitate a formal reorganization or expansion of categories. Edit keyword tags to suit.

4. Site Reviews

A well written site review is a good idea for a blog entry or content article. Execute site reviews and conduct internet analysis in one go. Look for the sites for domain names close to yours. Study the way other sites are utilizing modern templates and popular applications. Compare web link, category management and ad placement. Researching other sites and their page ranking should be a regular domainer activity.

5. Submit the Site Plan

I was horsing around in my Godaddy account and I noticed for a few of my developed domains I had filed no “flight plan”. These site plans used to be a very good tool for mapping the relationships between pages and the intended  clickthrough pathway of any new user or return visitor to a website. Each domain name in your portfolio should have a site plan file in work. A site plan is a critical way to direct bots and reveal intended site architecture.

6. Evaluate Search Behaviors

How well known is your domain name? Websites online have available data and tools to return reports and data sets showing how bots and search engine indexing regards your site. Use Yahoo Search, Fastfind, and Zoom for paid search services. Make sure Google, Google API, Rollyo, Atomz and Alexa know who you and your website are.
