Suggest You - The Geek.Name Project-Finds Unregistered Domain Names
Are Your Marketing Efforts Working...Or Could They Use A Little Help? ionary-based domains e-mailed to you. Yuck.Marketing is a broad business subject that encompasses a range of activities including advertising, public relations, sales, and promotions. Generally, you will find that people often confuse sales with marketing, when in fact the two are quite different. Marketing is all about getting a product or service into the market, promoting it, influencing behavior, and encouraging sales turnover. Sales, quite distinctly, is the actual transaction of getting a product or service into the hands of your customers.With so After the years of seeing these money-grubbing domain name related sites with pay-fees and/or ads all over the place(which I have done myself, sadly) I decided I would return to making something just for the fun of it, and make a non-pay/ad-free site that did what I could not find. I plan on keeping it this way as long as my hosting plan isn't affected by bandwidth or affected in some other monetary way, which I don't think is likely to be a problem. So, I began making a domain searching/polling engine to find unregistered domain names that were of the same caliber being picked off on the expiring domain Online Article Marketing; Critic Says No Empirical Proof it Works First off, let me start with the fact that I have been following the domain name market for many years now. It has become one of those hobbies of pure blind entertainment that you don't really know why you got interested in it in the first place.Recently a critic slamming the ability of the online article submission sites to perform and return value to online authors who posted articles on their sites launched a scathing attack. He accused the top online article authors as being “poor writers” and stated that there was absolutely no empirical proof that it was a viable marketing avenue. His argument and challenge claimed that since there were no University Level researching reports proving this that it could not be real.Well this is silly. First there sure as h When I first started following domain names I was looking for unregistered domain names, and to my disappointment, I found that it seemed like all the decent names were already taken. So, after dealing with that initial blow, I found that domains were being auctioned/sold...sounds good? yes, until you realize people trying to sell domains want absorbent amounts of money for even mediocre domain names. Somewheres around the time I disregarded the idea of buying domains for inflated prices I found that good domains were expiring every day, meaning they could be reclaimed by anyone. This really perked my interest at the time, as this was public information(provided by tld maintainers), and I figured I could snag up something decent without too much hassle. After finding a domain name I liked I used godaddy.com's backorder service which is roughly $20 a pop, not bad, but the problem is they only have a small number of registrars to try to snatch up a deleted domain and will almost never get a decent name successfully(the credit can be reused if it fails). This is not the case for snapnames.com, pool.com, and enom.com. If it is a decent domain name you can count on it going to one of them after it expires, and that's no good as it goes on auction for a base price of $60 on most of them and general jumps rapidly from there as the bidding frenzy begins, even for moderate domain names. So, recently, I came full circle and started thinking about unregistered domain names again. I decided to do a google search for "unregistered domain name lists", and what I found wasn't what I was looking for, had lists of domains that were out of date, or annoyed me trying to make money off me. For example, one of the sites I found was "makewords.com", which is a nice site and has good made up words, but I was after the same kind of domains that were being bid on either on public auction sites or expired domain name sites, mostly core dictionary words in my case. Then, deeper into my google searching, I found a couple sites that listed the kind of unregistered domain names i was after, yay! ...or not, the sites I found had outdated lists of dictionary-based words that when you go to register them you find they have already been taken. Quite annoying. Finally, the deepest into my google searching, I found a site that wanted you to pay to have a short list of dictionary-based domains e-mailed to you. Yuck.

This really perked my interest at the time, as this was public information(provided by tld maintainers), and I figured I could snag up something decent without too much hassle.Promotional products are a good way to get customers to notice you – and can be as simple as a piece of candy or other small object – but here's why custom promotional products are best.Not all promo items are personalized. Some companies, particularly at trade shows or other expos, feel it is enough to give away “something”. So they may choose to give away generic pens, candies or even items like rulers and tape measures – but without the company's name attached. Hoping that those who stop long enough at their booths t After finding a domain name I liked I used godaddy.com's backorder service which is roughly $20 a pop, not bad, but the problem is they only have a small number of registrars to try to snatch up a deleted domain and will almost never get a decent name successfully(the credit can be reused if it fails).

But one question that sometimes comes up -- and it's a good one -- is how do you deal with manufacturing businesses that have locations in two (or more) different cities or provinces and you don't want to mess around travelling to and fro?My answer: It makes it more difficult to manage it... but only if you are doing things "hands on" and trying to run it yourself -- instead of letting the managemen So, recently, I came full circle and started thinking about unregistered domain names again.

Why? Because they had engaged in an e-mail war over a sandwich! Somehow the contents of the now infamous e-mails were leaked outside of the company and landed in e-mail in-box’s everywhere. Those who leaked the e-mail may have thought it was all a bit of a laugh to share with their friends. But what happened next was that details of the e-mail made it into national newspapers and caused a flurry of discussion and debate on news shows and Then, deeper into my google searching, I found a couple sites that listed the kind of unregistered domain names i was after, yay! ...or not, the sites I found had outdated lists of dictionary-based words that when you go to register them you find they have already been taken.

Yuck.As a prime source for repeat business and referrals, your relationships with customers have to be given top priority. After the sale is made is when you can really strengthen the connectivity with your client. This is the time where you can develop unshakable customer loyalty.Loyalty is having a client that sticks with you, even when your competitors come knocking, because your relationship is so strong. That kind of loyalty will weather all kinds of competitive attacks, even better pricing offers, because your clients After the years of seeing these money-grubbing domain name related sites with pay-fees and/or ads all over the place(which I have done myself, sadly) I decided I would return to making something just for the fun of it, and make a non-pay/ad-free site that did what I could not find.

So, I began making a domain searching/polling engine to find unregistered domain names that were of the same caliber being picked off on the expiring domain name catchers mentioned before. I decided that I would make a semi-simple algorithm to rate each domain name found, so I could quickly run down an ordered list of high-rated domain names to see if I was interested. I also decided this domain name searching engine would make an ever-evolving list, and only store the domain names found for a short period of time, a few days, so as not be disappointed to find them all registered. During the final stages of making the engine I noticed it found a domain called "geek.name", and I thought "That's easy to remember and quite applicable to the project i'm making". So, POOF! The website for the project had been set. I soon designed a website to accompany the engine, and here we are. So, all that's left are the links for the result of the project: http://geek.name/ - find your unregistered geeky domain name. http://rss.geek.name/ - geek.name's live feed.
