The Domain Industry Isn't Friendly to Newcomers

Friday, 20 August 2010 15:10

This is a comment I received on one of my articles from a man named Mark:

"Hi, I am a Rookie in domain field. I should say, with 100 million domain blogs out there, there isn't a single post on the internet to explain what is a USPTO filing? How to file one? How to defend one? How are the parties involved on both sides? How much money spent on both sides on an average? etc etc etc. Shame on you all big fellas. This field ain't friendly to new comers. That's per sure."

Hi, Mark and thank you for the comment. Although I am not familiar with USPTO filing or defending one, I am sure there is someone who can come along and answer your question. You can file one here.

The main issue I would like to address is: "Shame on you all big fellas. This field ain't friendly to new comers. That's per sure."

I am not sure what blogs you read but there are many bloggers in the domain industry helping newcomers in addition to the slew of domainer forums such as DNForum and NamePros. One thing is certain: if you don't ask, you won't get an answer. There are plenty of us helping newcomers on a daily basis.

Whose Foot is that on Morgan's Show?

Friday, 13 August 2010 20:33

We have a good time on Morgan Linton's live show. Whether it be silly unexpected technical difficulties, a cat running across the background or the unknown presence of Dad's foot for the last 10 minutes of airtime: we all have a good time. I always knew I would be learning from Morgan's show but never expected to simply have a good time getting to know other people within the domain community.

Tonight's special guest was Dr. Bruce Linton, Father of Morgan, founder of Fathers' Forum (a program founded in 1989 for expectant and new dads) and family therapist. It didn't take long to realize where Morgan inherited his charismatic sweetness. If you missed it, catch the recorded version here.

( Video below hosted on FathersForum.com of Morgan when he was a child. )

Adsense Alternative: ClickBank's HopAd Builder

Monday, 01 March 2010 09:12

If you are in the market for an Adsense alternative; ClickBank has a new tool called "HopAd Builder" that automatically generates ads based on a given keyword. The results are delivered in typical PPC text fashion but also gives you the choice of using a tabbed style.

I like this tool because you don't have to hunt for products you want to sell but clicks are not reported in ClickBank's stats, only sales. The presentation options are very flexible (more so than typical PPC advertising models), however, you have to manually enter your affiliate ID or miss out on commission.

Overall, the affiliate product + PPC style mashup is a nice alternative. My only concern is not being able to track where the clicks go to take a good measurement of how effective HopAd is.

To use the tool, login to your ClickBank account and look for the graphic similar to the above.
