In the “olden days”, domainers had two main solutions for cash flow – either park their domains or develop them into a minisite or fully developed website.  Both have their drawbacks either with time or money.  

Are you tired of getting paid literally pennies with Parking “solutions” for your domains?  How about the nagging sense that the Parking Companies are all ripping you off with your meager “splits” and lackluster results?  Not to mention that with Parking you are only getting the 10% or so of internet users who are unsophisticated enough to click on your links – and that number is dropping daily.  Yeah we were too…

The word “Development” when used with Domainers used to mean either long hours hacking away at Wordpress or Joomla for each indexed website or it meant paying fly-by-night “minisite” developers $250+ per site only to be disappointed by the results.  The time and effort required to create a website from scratch is usually not worth the potential return and paying a large upfront fee for marginal returns does not make sense either.  There has to be a better way…

You are in luck as a brand new and innovative development solution has just been created! 

The Parking-Development Gap has finally been bridged by DevRich’s EZ Button solution.  We can take your domain portfolio and get it indexed into Google, Bing, Yahoo and other search engines, thus exposing your domain and website to the “other” 90% of internet users.  Imagine increasing the amount of traffic to your domain 900% just by getting indexed – plus with our unique automated content engine we are able to get hundreds or thousands of pages indexed into these major search engines… driving tons of traffic to your website.  It is true that while the clickthrough rate drops vs. Parking solutions, the volume more than makes up for the difference.  Plus, you now have a website that you can sell on EBay or Flippa worth much more than the original domain name value – you have increased the EQUITY VALUE of your portfolio by using this approach.

If you want to start increasing the value of your domains much beyond the meager cash flow of Parking or the effort and time required to develop a site, click on Sign Up and fill out a form with your information – you will be glad you did!

Have you ever used BuddyPress?  It’s a great plugin pack overlay for WPMU (Wordpress MultiUser).  Well guess what it’s not just for WPMU anymore!  You can add this awesome Social Media tool to your standard WP install and the best part is with a little bit of tweaking you get to keep your standard theme avoiding the dreaded and bland BuddyPress themes! The Link is HERE for additional information – Enjoy.

GOOGLE in European antitrust inquiry - Search rankings and advertising service to be probed... Is Google utilizing its strength to keep some advertising pricing over inflated?  Not the first anti-trust review however the details are interesting...  What are your thoughts?

New Google Search Layout?

Looks like Google is testing a new page layout for search.  Nothing major but my first thought is if its not broke don’t fix it.  If your using the newest version of Chrome you will notice the changes.  It is not resolving for me yet on FireFox or IE.

Let me know what you think?

PITCHfest 2010 – DFG

DevRich presented painFREE Development (aka “The Lazy Button”) at the 2010 PITCHfest. Competing in the 2nd round of pitch’s. I (Luke Webster) rolled out our new Free Portfolio Development pitch.

Peter Celeste of Oversee moderated the event.  The panelists where judged by a seasoned board of professionals including the founder of DOMAINfest Ron Sheridan.

Root Orange (winner of the people choice award; congrats guys) kicked off day 2 of PITCHfest with an overview of their unique approach to “Localized Domaining”.  Skinected was next showing off their very colorful monetized background skins for parked domains.   Chad Folkening took the grand prize with his Rapid Domain Builder platform a robust system allowing domainers several options for buildout (nice work!).  I followed up with DevRich’s new painFREE Development.  Thanks to everyone involved it was a real pleasure and very entertaining.

One thing that became unfortunately obvious as the Q&A sessions began for us pitching was a slight disconnect from the judges on the reasons why we were all there.  The idea was that we would be showcasing new development and monetization ideas/solutions for domainers.  All parties presenting had prepared their presentations for being reviewed based upon Creativity, Viability, Originality and Revenue Potential (revenue for our clients) instead we all found ourselves in more of a SharkTank answering questions no longer from the perspective of a domainer (ie Johnny 50k Longtails) but from the perspective of a investor (ie Warren Buffett) looking at our corporate revenue model and bottom lines.  A bit off base from what we all understood the objective was.  I did feel that this change in direction was limiting and rather pointless for the audience as to my knowledge no one presenting was looking for investors/venture capital.  That being said I don’t feel it affected the outcome of the awards.  But I do feel we all could have connected more with our target audience with a bit more solution related questions and perhaps audience Q&A as well.  From my experience domainers don’t care about my bottom line they care about theirs.  Nor do they care how much work has to be done as long as they are not the ones doing it… =)

Looking forward to seeing you all again next year and thanks for the best domain conference we have attended.  The hotel and staff at the Fairmont where excellent!
