Company Acquires New Domain Names and Auction Premier Domain Names

 
Internet Finance International Acquires New Domain Name Verticals, Launches Five New Websites and Places Premier Domain Names Into Auction

Internet Finance International acquires new domain name verticals, launches five new websites and places premier domain names into auction.

Chandler, AZ (PRWEB) July 22, 2006 -- Leading Internet media distribution and direct search firm Internet Finance International Corporation recently acquired a portfolio of approximately 300 domain names across two major verticals – business and travel with the Company’s portfolio estimated at 1400 domain names and climbing. Chris Kern, President of Internet Finance International Corp. stated “the recent domain name acquisitions in the travel and business verticals are very valuable, especially when coupled with a specific type of business, city, state or country. These recent additions are crucial to building our online media network and creates a compelling platform for direct search and local search which are two of the hottest markets in Internet advertising.” Further developments and specific site launches in these verticals will be announced in the near future.

Internet Finance also brings the public five new websites that were launched during July, 2006. These specific vertical portals, more recently referred to as vortals, can be found under the following names:
www.ServiceHealth.com, www.HealthPlanPros.com, www.eCompanies.info, www.HotelPlace.net , and www.BestHotelsInGermany.com. These vortals were designed and launched to become leading destinations to provide niche oriented content and advertising placement to improve the user experience and to better match targeted media to consumer needs. Chris Kern commented “our business plan and strategy is very focused towards building depth within specific market niches, similar to major direct search and local search companies such as NameMedia, and Marchex, which collectively have more than a million domain names and related websites.” Internet Direct Search and Local Search advertising is estimated to bring in between $400Million and $800Million in 2006, and in excess of $1Billion in 2007 by estimates from several media analysts. “This is a emerging aggressive growth market where there is plenty of room for established companies and new players to come on board and contribute to this burgeoning sector of Internet media – we’re here to stay,” stated Mr. Kern.

Internet Finance also has decided to re-deploy another segment of its business model - selling niche oriented domain names. DNJournal reports recent July domain name sales showing Wifi.com being sold for $225,000; PrimeRate.com changing hands for $110,000, and Diamond.com being the 2006 sale of the year at $7,500,000 (sold in May 2006). The Company has elected to place highly relevant direct search domain names such as SearchFrankfurt.com, BestHotelsInCanada.com, SearchForHotels.net, and WifiShopping.net, amongst several others, into to auction at Sedo.com – the world’s largest domain name marketplace.

About Internet Finance International Corporation:
Internet Finance International Corporation was founded in 1992 on the premise of assisting small and middle market companies with their business development and financing needs. Since 1996, the Company’s focus was realigned towards acquiring domain names, online business development and growing its Internet media distribution network. With approximately 1400 domain names and 20 leading Internet properties, the Company benefits from leveraging current technology and direct search methodologies to optimize the online experience in addition to acquiring strategic domain names and domain name portfolios serving specific market verticals and niches.

All Things Great And Small: Google Checkout and Micropayments

I had heard about Google Checkout a while back and thought it made sense. After it doesn't hurt to have a competitor to PayPal, which I like.

Well, I ran across an article about it and decided to check it out and sign up. It seems pretty good. The idea of a central account that allows you to make purchases easily on-line is great, and their fees are low for sellers. And not passing the credit card along to vendors should help to reduce the security risk of that information being in many databases all over the place and more chances for the information to fall into the wrong hands.

But I was struck by a thought related to an interest I've had for several years now, and that is the question of Micro Payments. The challenge for selling things for small amounts of money, even fractions of a cent has been the costs involved with doing it. Some attempts have been made with systems that charge you a lump sum and then debit your account as you buy ring tones, music, photos, etc. The problem is that I don't think most Americans like this model. I always feel like my money is "tied up" when it could be doing other things for me. The other problem is fraud. Policing many millions of small transactions every day may be so costly that it eats into profits.

Well, I think I figured out the solution to the fraud issue a long time ago, but after mentioning it to a former employer who I thought might be interested, I have since kept my idea to myself. Perhaps I may still get a chance to share this idea with someone who could actually be in a position to see if it would work.... :-)

Anyway, I did a few searches on "google checkout micropayments" and found surprisingly few hits that had any information. Most stated that Google Checkout didn't offer micro-payments, most said that it wasn't ever going to happen, and only one thought that's what's next to be offered. So there are not many of us that can see the next logical step and that is Google Micropayments.

I think this will happen, because Google Checkout is in a perfect position to aggregate transactions to get the billing charges down low enough. Look for something like a Micropayment account where you can review all your charges and then get billed periodically, perhaps monthly. Merchants will get the same thing, a reporting system that allows the to track transactions on a detailed or summary level. Merchant fees will be low because the cost involved with be low. Google checkout will make it easy to buy bits and bytes with a simple login. Sales of wallpaper, icons, jokes, songs, and things we can't yet imagine will become even larger than they are now. Sites that don't sell things will have Virtual Tip Jars. Like a site? Toss a quarter in the tip jar. Want to donate to a charity easily? Slip a dollar into the tipjar. And, since you won't have to fill out a long checkout form, buying things with your handheld/phone will be easier. Wow!

This is so damn huge I can hardly stand it!

Of course, the huge potential will also draw the scammers, many of whom are smart enough to know that stealing a little from many is the low-profile way to go. Many see this as a problem that will quickly doom the concept of micropayments, but they don't know that I already have a solution... :-)

First Blog Post On Domain Incubation Located

Checking through our site logs took me to Technorati where I found a listing that took me to this page where the author must have seen our posting for Domain Incubation on SitePoint.com which is the first place that we posted about our service. The posting is great, but attributes the site ownership to Coast Internet who registered the domain for us and has not transferred ownership to us.

I wanted to contact the owner and clarify that and a few other things, but I could not find any contact information on their site, and didn't feel like using the domain contact email address. Perhaps they will pick up on this post and contact us... I was impressed with the writing and fairness, so you may want to pay http://www.domainworks.biz/ a visit.

Word Cloud Fever Clouds Good Marketing Sense

 
Word Cloud Fever: The Business of Selling Words

Tag cloud website offers a unique and innovative online advertising model for websites. Move over pixel advertising!

Edmonton, AB (PRWEB) July 15, 2006 -- Popular online advertising models are usually below average in productivity and most online businesses approach these with less certainty of returns. But once in a while unique advertising models come up that take the internet by storm and bring advertisers a good amount of traffic and profit.

Just a few weeks ago, a new advertising model has emerged, the word cloud (tag cloud) model. Basically advertisers and website owners can reserve a text link spots which link to their website.

"The fact that there are only few spots per site really drives the rush in acquiring the spots on these tag cloud websites," says Barry Onyango the webmaster at 500BuzzWords.com. At http://www.500buzzwords.com each spot will be represented by a unique Buzz Word and there will be only 500 of them.

There are other reasons that will make advertisers want to reserve their words early.

"I can compare this to domain name registration. You want to register the best domain names early before it is taken. Can you imagine how rich you would be if you are the one who registered fish.com that sold for $1million or loans.com that sold for $3 million or business.com that sold for $7.5 million?" added Onyango.

Tags clouds are already popular tools used in social networking and book marking. Surfers have already exhibited a passion for tag clouds and in essence the word clouds are easier on the eyes than the previously popular pixel site model introduced by Alex Tew. As promising as this new method sounds, the only issue in advertisers' minds is whether they will get good traffic from these sites. For this business model to be viable, tag cloud sites must have a strategy of driving traffic to their sites.

Onyango notes that only the first few tag cloud sites will be able to get buzz from the online community, which usually translates into traffic. As one of the first-comers, he has marketed 500buzzwords.com through press releases and publicity. "In addition, after all the buzz words are booked, I will not just keep all the money in the bank. I will spend some of it in marketing the website in innovative ways. Plus I think the domain name is pretty catchy and easy to remember."

While tag cloud advertising is really promising, advertisers and website owners should make sure they find a good value for their money when buying these word spots.

Save Your Money: Word Link Sites Follow Pixel Ad Fad

 
Web Site Promotion - When A Word Is Not Just A Word

Words drive the Internet and web site promotion - The new word-site trend has added a new twist to the valuable and popular keyword- text links. Staying on top of new web site promotion techniques, tools and services is critical to the success of an Internet business, but will a sponsored text link do anything for your website?

Great Barrington, MA (PRWEB) July 12, 2006 -- Words drive the Internet and web site promotion. The new word-site trend has added a new twist to the valuable and popular keyword-targeted text links and web site marketing in general. But will a sponsored text link do anything for your website?

Last year it seemed everyone was talking about those pixel ads. If you don't remember, it went something like this - one smart guy figured he'd break a single page down into 1 million pixels and sell them off for a dollar a piece.

While this was a fun and novel approach to web site promotion - not to mention very lucrative for the site's owner - after the initial buzz quieted down and the press stopped driving traffic to the site, there wasn't much benefit remaining for those advertisers. Those hundreds of tiny square images were confusing to look at too.

Enter the new web site promotion strategy known as Word-Sites. Instead of linked images, word sites allow you to claim words that link directly to your website.

One great example is 525words.com - http://www.525words.com - This site lists 525 keywords, each of which can be instantly claimed online. If you don't find a word you want, the site also allows you to suggest a word you'd like for yourself. You can choose how your word link looks too. Color, size, style and rollover text can all be selected when claiming a word. There are also new word sites coming online that focus on niche markets.

Do These Word Links Work?

They can work very well if managed properly. When choosing a word site for your advertising and promotion needs, look for the following:

1. The site and service should be managed by someone with a good mailing list and strong daily traffic on their main site(s). This will help the new word site to get off to a good start and maintain steady web traffic.

2. The site should be indexed by the major search engines. A good webmaster will have the know-how and resources to drive the search engine spiders to their word site quickly.

3. Check the webmaster's other sites. Most word sites are run by webmasters with a number of other websites to their credit. Check out a few of those sites. See what kinds of back links they have, check that they have a decent Page Rank, etc. If they've done a good job with their other sites, chances are that they'll do a good job promoting their word-site too. For example, http://www.525words.com is part of a larger network of sites that work in concert to keep Internet traffic flowing to the web site and the sponsored links.

Are Word Links Cost-Effective?

They can be very cost-effective. Not only will you likely receive a good deal of curiosity traffic due to the novelty of these sites, and as these are word links, you may also find many other traffic benefits as the site ages.

With most word-links costing in the range of $50 - $100, this can really be a great deal. Especially when you consider how much that traffic would cost from most pay-per-click sites. For example, if you currently pay just an average of 50 cents per click from a PPC site, $100 bucks would bring you 200 clicks. Whereas your $100 word-link will likely bring you considerably more Internet traffic over time and that traffic will keep coming in as long as the word site remains active.

A Word Site of Your Own?

Most people will be content just owning a few keywords on a word-site, while others will like the idea and want to start their own unique word site service. There is now software available that will allow anyone to run their own word link site. The price tag is not cheap (about $900), but the revenue that can be generated from a successful word site is impressive. One recent 500 word site boasted over $50,000 in revenue within about two-weeks! That same software is now available to anyone with an idea and a fat enough wallet to get started. You can find more information on this software here: http://www.bbiworld.com/wordsites

The Link Sizzler Creates Instant Word Cloud Pages and Revenue Stream for Niche Site!

Internet Revenue Expert, Joel Comm, announces the release of the software tool used to make the highly successful sponsored-link page, 500Words.com. With The Link Sizzler, anyone can create a niche-oriented page that draws sponsors and visitors.

Edmond, OK (PRWEB) July 3, 2006 -- Joel Comm, The Internet Revenue Expert, today announced the public release of The Link Sizzler, the same tool that was used to create the highly successful sponsored-link page, www.500Words.com.

The Link Sizzler allows anyone to create niche-oriented word-cloud link pages on whatever topic is desired and generate substantial revenue while doing so.

First announced to Comm's private member list as of June 29, 2006, The Link Sizzler has already sold over 80 copies and is now available to the general public.

"With the success of 500Words.com (appearing as #3 on Alexa.com's 'movers & shakers list') I received many emails from customers asking if I was going to make the script available for others to use," says Comm, creator of 500Words.com and The Link Sizzler. "I realized that there was a huge demand for software that would make it easy for others to duplicate my success. I am pleased to bring The Link Sizzler to the marketplace so that anyone can select a niche and sell sponsored links in a unique and novel way."

The Link Sizzler is incredibly easy to use. Once installed on a web server with Linux and MySQL, only a Paypal account is required to receive funds from sponsors. Owners can then create a page with any number of custom words or phrases. Some hypothetical ideas for sites may include 400Realtors.com, 250Stores.com, or 1000Authors.com. There are as many options for creating niche word cloud pages as there are niches.

Prospective sponsors may customize their selected word or phrase to link to their own web site and display with a variety of font sizes, colors and styles.

A complete demonstration of The Link Sizzler is available on the web site at www.linksizzler.com

"I continue to receive email from Link Sizzler buyers who are sharing their ideas for niche sites that will be building with the tool," says Comm. "This idea is explosive and I believe we will be seeing hundreds of sites popping up shortly, each one with the opportunity to be highly profitable for the creators."
