5 Legal Tips for Protecting Your Online Assets

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

If you’re a domainer, you have lots of online assets. But are you properly protecting them? There are a few legal steps you should take to ensure that your online property is secure.

1. Use Good Security

This first tip isn’t really about the law. It’s just common sense.

Use adequate passwords. Keep them in a safe place. Change them often.

All your legal efforts won’t amount to anything if you use passwords like “password” and write them on a sticky note.

2. Pay Attention to Names

Many people form companies for their business purposes, to protect their personal assets. To be effective, your assets have to be owned by the company.

When you buy a domain or a website, you should always make sure the business actually owns it. If you own it personally, your personal creditors could seize it to collect a judgment.

3. Watch Your Agents

If you have given someone else the authority to handle your affairs, they’re your agent. They have legal responsibilities to you in the way they handle your affairs.

To protect yourself and your online assets, be sure to keep an eye on your agents. Agents steal from their employers even when they work in the same office. Think how much easier it would be to steal when everything is online. Make sure they aren’t handling things improperly or stealing from you.

4. Make a List

What will happen to your online assets, if something happens to you? Does your significant other or next of kin know about your online life?

To make it easy for your next of kin to handle your assets, you should at least keep a list of what you own. You could take the extra step of writing out instructions on how to manage your websites, where to access your domain portfolio, etc.

5. Review Your Will

If you’re an adult, you should have a will. And you should review it every five years.

If you executed a will 15 years ago, you probably didn’t even own domains at that time. Your will doesn’t need to specifically mention your online property, but it should properly implement your wishes. Changes in technology are but one reason to review and update your will throughout life.

Why AdSense for Domains is a Step in the Wrong Direction

Friday, December 12th, 2008

I mentioned in my last editorial, “The Evolution of Domain Parking and Mini Sites” that domain parking will gradually transition to feature rich mini-site development. Google recently announced the public launch of it’s AdSense for Domains program. As with all things Google, it is getting alot of buzz in the industry.

Will AdSense for Domains be worth your time? Let’s take a look at some of the benefits and shortcomings of Google AdSense for Domains.

What are the benefits of AdSense for Domains?

  • Higher Conversions - There have been case studies and numerous reports on conversion rates for simple domain parking pages. Direct navigation (typing a domain into an address bar) has proven to be highly targeted traffic.
  • Possibly Higher Revenue - This may turn out to be the opposite as Andrew of DNW points out here, Google has contracts for the advertising feeds it provides to parking companies. It is within Google’s power to “dial back” or reduce revenue shares for both parking companies and new AdSense for Domains users.

What is AdSense for Domains lacking?

  • Search Indexing - Obviously Google is not going to index any domain enrolled in this program, a major drawback to anyone interested in driving more traffic and increasing site value.
  • Domain Sales Contact - As far as I am aware there is no option to notify visitors that your domain may be for sale or how to contact you, please correct me if I am wrong.
  • Unique Landing Page Design - Google is good at simplicity.  Pages may convert but won’t look good.
  • Unique Keyword Rich Content - It is impossible to add any custom content whatsoever to your domains.
  • Alternate Revenue - There will be no option to include affiliate links, products or leads of any kind.
  • Customization - No real way to fix any of the above.

These are huge features that benefit domainers by increasing the short and long term value of your domain name properties.

Google’s AdSense for Domains is simply boring domain parking for the general public repackaged and sold direct from the provider. They are taking a step backwards in the evolution of domain parking.

Don’t worry about activating your AdSense for Domains account, it will probably just disappoint and waste your time. However, I must admit I will be interested to hear about initial conversion rates and revenue earnings per click.

What’s a Better Alternative?

Soon I will be announcing an amazing new product/service for domainers that will allow you to almost instantly develop full mini-sites with unique content and multiple revenue streams including Google AdSense direct from Google! There are many other great features I can’t wait to share. I am currently in beta testing and will have a full review completed when the product officially goes live.

What are your thoughts on Google AdSense for Domains versus automated mini-sites or more advanced domain parking?  Please comment.

The Evolution of Domain Parking and Mini Sites

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

Domain parking and web development has come a long way over the years. From generic messages to full blown automated websites. This is the chronicle of the evolution of domain parking.  Domainers are shying from traditional pay-per-click landing pages and opting for professional development and innovative software.  See how far domain parking has come and get some insight on what’s next.

construction.jpg

Coming Soon! This Site Under Construction

Domain name and website owners generally had a message like this displayed to let random visitors know they should bookmark and come back soon. This is still used for some projects today, but rarely for any length of time.  You may also see a newsletter subscription.

forsale.jpg

This Domain Is For Sale

We’ve all seen them, a simple text message and email link letting you know this domain name is for sale. The original domainers first form of domain sales advertising.  This may still be effective today, but less so because most domainers go straight for WHOIS data and then maybe directly to a site.

reserved.jpg

This Domain Has Been Reserved

Domain registrars caught on to all the massively untapped traffic resource of their customers unused domains. Now you see them quite often, “This Domain Parked Free at GoDaddy.” Some may consider profiting from your customers domains to be a devious practice, but the owner simply needs to take control and direct the nameservers.

ppc.jpg

Pay Per Click Sponsored Links

With the launch of Google AdSense and other advertising networks, domain owners became “publishers” by displaying relevant paid sponsors on their unused domain names. There has been some controversy concerning the value of these advertising spots on domain names, and recent reports that revenue from PPC domain parking is declining greatly.

minisite.jpg

Custom Content Mini-Sites

Many new website services allow you to add unique content to your “parked” pages. This is intended to provide SEO value and the ultimate goal is to get your parked domains listed on search engines which was previously unheard of.  Others buy articles or hire freelance writers to dish out unique content.

rsspowered2.jpg

RSS Feeds Automated Content

With the advent of RSS feeds (Really Simple Syndication), content from all over the web can be embedded and updated automatically on any website. Using simple scripts and software domain owners are able to display relevant news and articles which could lead to more traffic.

The Future is Bright…

The future of domain parking is blurring the line between a simple landing page and a full blown website. It will not be long before a domain owner can instantly create fully developed websites with automated content, user interaction, automated product affiliates, photo galleries, videos, article archives and more.

In some cases this is already happening. Soon on DotSauce you will read about a company who’s product allows you to do just that. Stay tuned to be a part of the next step in the evolution of domain parking.

Innovative Use of WordPress: The WordPress Link Directory

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

This will be the first in a serious of posts devoted to highlighting new and interesting ways people are using WordPress.  I already have at least 3 amazing uses of WordPress lined up that you probably have never seen before and are sure to spark your interest.  So stay tuned, subscribe to our feed and be on the look out for more innovative uses of WordPress.

Innovative Use of WordPress: JustTweetIt.com

WordPress as a link directory! Who would have thought?

The JustTweetIt.com Twitter Directory went above and beyond simply turning WordPress into a link directory. The site features a beautiful design and alot of great content in traditional blog posts. So, you can’t do this over-night, but I’ll give you a quick explanation of just how they did it.

justtweetit1.jpg

By the way, DotSauce is on Twitter!

How Did They Do That?

The concept is quite simple… turn your comments system into link submission! With a few tweaks and word-swaps (change any mention of “comment” to “submit link”) within the template files, specifically the comment system, comment display, single post and single page, you can have a fully functional link directory.

Once those modifications are done, any page can be created to represent a “Category.” Enable comments on your “Category” page and the link submissions can start coming in!

What’s Your Script Got that WordPress Doesn’t?

If you think about it… WordPress already has most of the features you want for any link directory moderation, Akismet spam filter, and even membership logins, but I’ll save more on that for the next installment.

Yet Another WordPress Link Directory

The concept is starting to spread, another example of WordPress as a link directory just launched this past month and living up to it’s name.  DirectoryForDesigners.com is a social media directory for, you guessed it, designers of all types.

Domain Names You Never Got Around To Developing

Monday, November 10th, 2008

I’ve registered hundreds of domain names over the past few years.  Each time, before clicking “Complete Purchase,” I made a point to think about every individual name, how it would be developed into a website with a specific purpose, how it could be profitable, how it would benefit an existing company or launch a start-up.

Unfortunately, you can not put your heart, time and money into developing hundreds of internet properties.  Many of my domains lay in wait for their day to shine as a fully developed site, though I can’t promise them it will be by my hand… I am a domainer afterall!

I would like to share with you some of my domain names and what I envision the will become.

SwiftPic.com - Free Application for the Masses

This was to be an AJAX powered form that would generate, on-the-fly, customized code for using swfIR on your websites.  What is swfIR? It’s an awesome open-source script for replacing standard image code with dynamic flash displays that allow for curved corners, borders, even drop shadows.  You can see it in action on BlogDuJour.com. I am still looking for a programmer to work with on creating the SwiftPic application.

ElectricWebsites.com - A Community of Developers in a Virtual Metaverse

Ever heard of Second Life? It’s a huge virtual world that has been covered in the news countless times. It is being prized as a valuable educational tool (virtual classrooms) and literally millions of people across the globe. A few years back, I got involved with Second Life and was interested in developing a business, I even promoted DotSauce through the virtual world and made some great contacts. I don’t have much time these days to login to Second Life, but the ElectricWebsites.com virtual headquarters is still live inside Second Life, let me know if you want a tour.

headquarters1.jpgheadquarters3.jpgheadquarters4.jpg

InstantVerse.com - AJAX Powered Bible!

I purchased this domain name after coming up with an idea for a web based Bible application that would allow a person to start typing any book, chapter or verse of the Bible and have it instantly pop up! I have yet to actively pursue finding someone to code this for me, but there are numerous full versions of the Bible available for download in many formats.

FrugalBlogging.com - Launch a Successful Blog for Little to No Money

The idea for this one was to be a blog about blogging. Specifically, how to blog on-the-cheap. More specifically, tried and tested methods for marketing, advertising and promoting your blog for free. Getting high-quality graphics, content, designs, hosting and software that bloggers know and love for free or cheap. I love helping out fellow bloggers and have been known to give away domain names to those still using sub-domains. I would like to start this project, but I just don’t have time to write fresh content.

I could go on seemingly forever… but I would love to hear about some of your domains that you haven’t developed yet.  Please leave a comment below.  Maybe someone will be interested and want to work on it with you!

Poll: How Do You Make Money Online?

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Economic times are rough and we’ve heard reports of domain parking revenue dropping significantly over the past year. However, there are still countless opportunities and tried-and-tested methods for making money online.

I recently viewed the results of a poll on ProBlogger in which only half of respondents stated that they make money by means other than blogging.  Kind of a depressing result, however his readers are, of course, thousands of bloggers. Here we are domainers and developers!

I am sure there are many different ways we all go about earning our income in this industry.  I have put together a poll featuring all the ways I could think of that domainers earn money online.

Check all the boxes that state ways you make money online or please fill in your own answer if I missed something.

How Do You Make Money Online? Check all that apply.
( surveys)

The results should be interesting after a good amount of response. Hopefully the results can inspire us to branch out and discover new ways of earning money with domains and web development.

What are your thoughts on making money today in the domain and development industry? Please leave a comment below.

Turnkey Available Domains Website For Sale

Saturday, October 11th, 2008

DropEntry.com is an old project of mine that I never had a chance to fully complete and launch.  Since I began publishing lists of available domains on our forums and email newsletter, DropEntry was placed on the back-burner.  I would like to see this project live on, so now I am offering it up for sale!

dropentry-small1.gif

I had originally envisioned a private community of domainers sharing their available domain names with each other.  Each member would have a profile and a place to submit a PayPal donation if you registered one of their shared available domains.

As you can see, DropEntry has a beautiful logo design. The actual website design and CSS were never completed.  The backend is powered by a custom PHP/MySQL script that works well as-is.  Domains are immediately checked for availability upon submission.

Spruce up the design and start promoting DropEntry and you could have yourself a popular domaining website in no-time!  Develop an accompanying email newsletter and blog, sell advertising, implement an affordable subscription fee… the potential is there!

Asking price: $350 - Please contact me to purchase or with questions.

22 Year Old Sells His 2 Year Old Blog For $15 Million

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

Johns Wu, 22, is one happy blogger today.  He has sold his 2 year old banking blog, Bankaholic.com for $12.4 million to Bankrate.

They have agreed to pay Johns an additional $2.5 million if the site performs well over the next 12 months.

This sale is indeed confirmed by an official press release from Bankrate, Inc. (Nasdaq: RATE). Better yet, Johns answers some great interview questions about the sale in an article found on WebProNews here.

bankaholic-screencap.png

This is quite an inspiring story for all of us bloggers and web developers.  By working hard at developing quality consistent content and driving traffic for just 2 years this guy is set for life.  Congratulations Johns!

Alexa.com statistics for Bankaholic are quite impressive.  Currently sitting at an excellent ranking of 41,904 which means it is getting alot of traffic daily.  Being in the banking niche, I am sure Bankaholic benefits well from that traffic by referring visitors to affiliated savings accounts, credit card offers, and through top-dollar AdSense revenue.

Live Video of Woopra Website Analytics During a Digg Front Page

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

Woopra, a website analytics application currently in Beta testing, is gaining popularity very quickly.  Instead of the traditional web based statistics, charts and graphs that you will find in services such as Google Analytics, Woopra is installed onto your PC.  Many feel Woopra’s best feature is the “Live” view, where website owners can watch visitors as they enter, navigate around the site and follow external links.

Here is a previously-recorded live video stream of Woopra in full-force!  GeekBrief.TV recently announced that an app has been created to copy and paste on your iPhone.  Big news in gadget world and Digg.com went wild about it, pushing it to the homepage with a huge number of diggs.

Woopra Live Stats as GeekBrief.TV Hits Digg Front Page

The Woopra software application is being hailed as a beautiful and innovative live representation of website statistics and I whole-heartedly agree. Allowing me to see how visitors navigate, track daily performance for uniques, page views, search queries and referrers.

Get Woopra Analytics For Your Website!

DotSauce has been part of the Woopra beta test for several months now, secretly watching your every move as you browse around the site!  It has been an enjoyable experience and I highly recommend signing up for the beta test.

Follow these steps to get approved:

  • Register for a free account at Woopra.
  • Add a website URL through your account manager.
  • Wait. Woopra admins are known to do a batch beta tester approval once per month.
  • Post on their forums, they may take notice of you!

It took DotSauce several weeks to get approved, so don’t get dismayed!

What analytics program do you currently use and how do you think it compares with Woopra? Would love to hear your comments, thanks!
