Those days time seems to be such short that many people don’t even have an extra hour to read more on domain industry. For those people looking for some quick suggestions on making the most of their time to learn domain industry, here are steps;

1. Organize your time – to buying and selling domain. When I first started buying domain names, I learned to stay focus on niche.Spending several or more hours searching for right market. It’s not easy to stay focused. Try doing your best.

2. Plan your domain investment – plan what you want do at the start, evaluate progress during the investment time , based on days, weeks or months to develop the web site , and measure results at the finish . Achievements are your results.

3. Schedule buying and selling time – the best thing to do is schedule yours domain buying and selling tasks. Listing domain for sale shows your intention to work on them, but scheduling reveals a commitment to get them sold. Try to stay on the schedule to achieve results.

4. Don’t be just another domainer – If it’s worth buying and selling domain names, it’s worth doing well. But “well” does not mean immediately results. Don’t spend unreasonable of time on tasks to copy others domainers, you are going to lose focus, and expertise learning yourself domain industry.

5. Time to say ‘No” – to certain domains that are available for sale, and attracting your attentions, you need learn to say” No”. If you just starting out in domain industry, and need to build your portfolios ,most important thing to know when is time to say “ No.” I’m not buying every single domain that I like.” Make sure before you say “Yes” your domain tactics is compatible with your goals.

6. Note down your tasks – don’t rely on your memory. Make a list of your domain searches. Note everything, and anything what is important about domain names, why, and how did you come up with ideas. Have an accurate record of what was researched related to domain name is your achievements for running successful domain business.

7. Goals – Time is money. Don’t take a chance. Determine where your domain investments would like to be five years from now; since the day you started actively buying, selling, and developing domains.

At least, but not last I really wish you success in domain industry. If you like this article, make sure you subscribe to ProTycoon for fresh domain news. Enjoy reading rest of the ProTycoon Domain Name Blog posts.

I come across very interesting article. ProTycoon give credit for this very well informative article found on the Domain Investors and written by Morgan Linton

The most common advice about stock investing is, “You have to be diversified.” The same is not true for domain names. It is always better to have a portfolio of great .com’s than of great .net’s and .org’s. As domainers we know that a great keyword .com is as valuable as that keyword can get. The only reason to diverisfy the TLD of your domain is only if the .com is taken (or you own the .com and want to own the other TLD’s).

Now let me make it very clear what I am saying here. You should strive to get the best domain names as possible. In most cases this will require diversification of TLD’s. If you look at my own portfolio I have a number of TLD’s. We aren’t all lucky enough to just have great .com domains, so we look elsewhere in .net, .org, .in, etc. There is nothing wrong with this as it would be impossible to have a portfolio of all great keyword .com’s unless you’re a millionaire. However it is important to recognize that in a heartbeat you would convert all your .net, .org or other TLD’s to .com’s if given the chance.

So what is Domain Development Diversification? This is a going to be a key strategy in what might soon be called Domaining 2.0. I see Domaining 1.0 as the process of purchasing a good domain name, parking the name, and performing whatever SEO can be done to get the most traffic to your name. In the Domaining 2.0 world parking is a thing of the past and development is king. While we don’t live in the Domaining 2.0 world yet, we can all feel it getting closer. Domain Development Diversification means diversifying the way in which you develop your domain names.

As the domaining industry shifts focus towards developed domains, so should your strategies for development.Domain Development Diversification is the idea of using many different strategies with your domains and learning which one’s work the best. Divide your portfolio into five different test groups; blogs, forums, mini-sites, information sites and commerce sites. This means turn 20% of your domains into active blog sites, another 20% to forums, etc. This will help you discover which technique works best for you, as well as which will make you the most money. You might have to experiment with some domains and try a few before you really hit the jackpot, but in the end you should have a good idea of which development strategy works the best for each domain.

I am reading a lot of blogs lately talking about how hard the development process is and the time that it takes. By diversifying your development you can use some strategies that can take as little as an hour. Try it! Go onto Blogger or Typepad, make a blog, give it a custom look and feel, and viola…you have created a website for your domain. Use free PHP forum software to put a professional web forum on your page, or just spend a few hours putting together a simple mini-site. You don’t have to build a full-blown webpage every time – remember there are other ways to successfully develop your domains.

In the Domaining 2.0 world we need to think out of the box a bit more. Remember, your time is money. If you spends an entire month building a website, how much money are you really making? What is your time worth to you? I’m not saying that you shouldn’t put great websites onto your domains. Instead what I am saying is you need to determine which domains to put the most amount of time into. Pick 20% of your portfolio and make it your mission to develop (or pay someone to develop) beautiful, fully-functional, websites on those domains. Now try making a blog for another 20% of your domains, and a forum for another 20%, etc. In the end, you will have websites on all of your domains, some that make you money, and others that are a flop. With fine tuning you can determine the best strategy for each and end 2008 with a portfolio full of domains with websites, and most importantly, revenue.

The Domaining 2.0 world is a whole new beast. As with any transition there are those that will hold onto their Domaining 1.0 ideas, unable to let go of past success. It’s like the tech stock bust in the late 90’s…nobody wanted to sell their tech stocks – it was too scary! In the Domaining 2.0 world you’ll have to get over your fears of development and remember that each webpage shouldn’t take a month – there are many different types of webpages you can build quickly and easily. The key is to try different strategies and through time determine which are the best for you. Welcome to the brave new world of Domaining 2.0, and for those still in the 1.0 world it’s time to say farewell to the world you once knew.

Investing in Domain Names?

Not yet? What are you waiting for?
The domain industry is growing, and it’s here to stay. The best decision you can make is to build your investment online in domain industry. The cost to register domain name are between $8 -$15 , and this depends of the domain extensions you are going to purchase. Can you imagine buying the house for $ 8 and sell it for $10,000 ? Well, you can’t . It’s not possible to buy Real Estate for such a low price.

The similarity between investing in Real Estates, and Domain name is lucrative investment cycle. What do you really know about domain industry is small pieces of puzzle. There are few factors to be considered when buying and building domain portfolio, and they are following ;

1.Traffic – amount of the visitors a domain receives

2.Length of domain – quality domain name is short in length, few letters,or at least 2 words ( most of them is registered), but if you are lucky still have a chance to grab some of those domains.

3.Extensions – most popular and well priced is .COM . Today domain market changing quickly, and other domain extensions selling as well.

4.Parking your domain – parking domain allow you to monetize traffic by hosting third party’s ad links on your site. It’s pretty much working the same in Real Estate industry when you rent your unused house or condo and making money at the same time .

5.Selling Domain – desert on the end. How much to sell domain for? The additional factors comes to considerations , keywords, search engine ranking, brand, memorability, and niche market .

Recently I purchased a few one word domains with .IM extension as investment. Why .IM ? As i stated in one of my previous post you can read here is very short domain extension and can be used 2 ways as Instant Messaging or English “I’M “ . For example www.Leader.im Pretty cool huh? Cost is minimal,only 2 Euro which is equal $2,8 US at the moment.

This is the story of déjà vu again. Microsoft has announced yet another search engine to attain some advancement in the search engine wars. The question is whether Bing actually ends to make a difference?

The fight is taking place as follows. Google controls a large amount and it looks dangerous aggressive in terms of these parts has no control. Microsoft commands a very small-scale part of this area, but lots of ammunition “cash” and looking for ways to apply it. Yahoo has its personal section, but it is under siege, and you are ready to take. This means that Microsoft and Google as our 2 largest predators.

Google has all of the time relied on a pillar in its search engine. Google is generally considered the best in terms of the results of production quality. The integration of telecasting, news program and other platforms to the search results was generally good. “Live”, the latest Microsoft search engine is not terrible, but it was not something big. With Bing hopes to switch that.

Bing biggest is the fresh search parameters. Microsoft really attempted to make afresh niche search strategy. The Bing search function is adapted to the four vertical to improve search results. These include, inter alia, the decision to buy, find local businesses and making health plan trips. In other words, the engine is configured to emphasize production purchases, wellness, local business and travel, which has only four of the biggest niches on the Internet.

How it works? Overall, I would say yes. In the vertical return to similar results, but not incisively the same as in Google. The difference lies more in how the results displayed a vertical production based on estimated interest. For example, search for “diabetes” vertical produces symptoms of diabetes, diabetes nutrition, diabetes, diabetes research and prevention of diabetes, all three results displayed in the search. Google does the self same thing, although on a smaller scale.

FAQ from website
How much does it cost to register a domain name?
Registering a domain at New.net is $35 for the first year for each domain.

What are the valid characters for a domain name and how long can it be?
The only valid characters for a domain name are letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and a hyphen ‘-’. A hyphen may not begin or end a domain name. Spaces and special characters like the underscore ‘_’ or an exclamation mark ‘!’ are NOT permitted.

Example: your name.shop (not valid, no spaces allowed)
Example: your_name.shop (not valid, no underscores allowed)
Example: your&name.shop (not valid, no special characters allowed)
Example: your-name.shop (valid)
Example: yourname.shop (valid)

A New.net domain name can be up to 55 characters long – excluding the characters used to identify the domain name extension (.SHOP, .GAME, etc.).

What I find very interesting about the company is there are no contact numbers just e-mail address. What if?
Are you own domain name with one of those extensions?
