30 Oct 09 Does Domain Registration Length Effect Search Engine Rankings
Does the length of your website’s domain name registration affect the search results at Google? This question has come up recently and a lot of website owners have been wondering about it, especially since it was mentioned in a patent awarded to Google in April. According to the patent, “Certain signals may be used to distinguish between illegitimate and legitimate domains. For example, domains can be renewed up to a period of 10 years. Valuable (legitimate) domains are often paid for several years in advance, while doorway (illegitimate) domains rarely are used for more than a year. Therefore, the date when a domain expires in the future can be used as a factor in predicting the legitimacy of a domain and, thus, the documents associated therewith.” According to this statement in the patent, domains that expire in 10 years are more valuable and legitimate than domains that will expire in less than a year.
Google, in general, is always looking for ways to weed out the bad (spammers) from the good (legitimate) websites. I suspect that they looked for a pattern among the good, legitimate websites and found that most good, legitimate websites have a commitment towards their business and their domain name-they register it for a long period of time. In other words, the theory behind all of this is that if you register a domain name for several years it shows Google that you’re committed to that domain name. If you register a domain name for 1 year then you’re not as committed to that domain name. A lot of spammers use “throw away” domain names and register them for only a year. So, Google uses the length of time that a domain is registered to determine whether the owner of that domain name is committed to it or not.
One domain name owner I talked to recently told me that renewing his domain names once each year was a part of his business plan. He made a certain amount of money each year from each domain name/website, and he didn’t want to cut into the profits of each site by renewing each domain name all at once for several years. “Renewing a domain name for 10 years or even 2 years ahead of time means that I have to spend more money. If I have to come up with $50 or $100 more per year for the domain renewal fees it cuts into my profits”, says John, who wished to remain anonymous. John’s website is probably exactly the type of website that Google wishes to identify. Google is looking to identify quality, well-established websites whose owners are committed to their domain names. According to the statements made in Google’s patent, Google thinks that websites that have been renewed for a long period of time meet that standard.
Should you renew your domain name for a long period of time? And if so, how long is long enough? If you want to stay ahead of your competition, then you might consider looking at the length of time your competitors have registered their domain names. If your competitors have generally renewed their domain names for one or two years, you might consider registering your domain name for 5 or 10 years. While putting off your domain name’s expiration date might help your search engine rankings, keep in mind that this may be only a small boost (or a “tie-breaker” among two websites) when it comes to the actual search engine rankings. And, be aware that just because Google has a patent on the idea it doesn’t mean that they’re actually using those criteria now to rank websites. They, too, want to stay ahead of their competition (mainly Yahoo! and MSN).
I’ve registered the domains that I really care about for at least 10 years. Initially, I registered these domains for a long period of time because I didn’t want to lose them-and I didn’t want to go through the somewhat-lengthy annual process of renewing them every year. Since most domain names I own come up for renewal at different times during the year, it seemed as though I was renewing a domain name at least once a month-and renewing them for a few years put it off for a while.
Expired domain name buyers are prevalent nowadays. If your domain name expires, there’s a good chance that someone watching will register your domain name within seconds after it expires. If, for whatever reason, you don’t renew your domain name, someone watching a ‘watch list’ of expiring domain names will try to capitalize on the online business that you’ve built over the years. They know that there is potential website traffic they can have simply by renewing your old domain name. By renewing your domain name for several years, your domain name won’t expire for a while, and it won’t be opened up to expired domain name buyers.
If you really want to stay ahead of the competition, you might consider registering or renewing your domain name for 100 years. Currently, Network Solutions (www.netsol.com) is the only registrar offering the 100 year option, which costs $999.00. GoDaddy (www.godaddy.com), currently offers to renew or register a domain name for 10 years, at a discount of $6.95 per year. Dotster (www.dotster.com), another leading registrar, offers domain name registration and renewals for up to 10 years at a cost of $129.95.
What’s the bottom line? If you’re committed to your online business, your website, and your domain name, then renewing your domain name for a long period of time will not only stop expired domain buyers from registering your domain name when it expires, it will show Google that you’re committed to it-and that may give you a boost in the search engine rankings, as well.

18 Aug 09 Choosing a Good Domain Name for Your Site – Domain Registration
Registering a domain name is the preliminary step when you set up your website. Your domain name should expose what your position or your company is about. It should be expressive and simple to keep in mind.
If you can register your domain name by using your greatest niche keyword you will also attain a few points in trying to find your site high up in the search engine rankings. Look for engines who advice you that domain name like www.blue-widgets-purple-widgets-cheap-widgets.com may be not in fact be a valid production and you should therefore be careful not to material your domain name with keywords.
Here is some information to choosing a premium domain name:
1) If your company is famous among your clients it is best to register your business name as your domain name.
2) If you are offering a product or service that you particularly want to market throughout the internet without even HAVING a company, then an explanatory name might be a better option.
3) Hyphens are easier to study and recognize by the search engines. The only negatives about hyphens are that they are complicated for people to hear! You will possibly have difficulty in spelling out your domain name over the phone or in discussion when it contains hyphens. It is also right to say that a name not including the hyphens are also seen as being more practiced.
4) While register a domain name you should register as many alternatives as possible (with hyphens as well as without hyphens) with extensions such as (.com, .net, .info, .biz). Registering domain names are actually not that expensive and you will be defensive the speculation into your company and your website product
5) If you are placed in a country other than the United States, for all time try and register your domain name with your home Top Level Domain conservatory (e.g..co.uk, .co.za) ever since the local adaptation of Google will give favorite to names with extension same your own country.
7) Always try and register your domain with an independent registrar and NOT with your hosting supplier. If you ever desire to move your website to one more hosting provider, it will now be easier to do it if your domain name registrar is also not your hosting provider. You may get it more difficult to get your website left from a shocking hosting provider if they have managed above your domain name as well.

25 Jul 09 Domain Registration
We seem to be living in a society monopolized by a phenomenon called the internet. So, to reach a wider audience and make your business known across the world, we need to select and register a domain name for our business. Choosing a domain name is vital both for an individual or an organization. It is the first and foremost step to help people reach your site and improve your business prospects. It’s an investment to build your brand awareness and spread the word about it. In simple terms, domain names are the IP addresses that give information about websites on the net. Also known as the URL (universal research locator) or the address of your website, they provide information about various aspects of your business on the net. Having a web domain provides us with an online identity. Before we can call any of the domain names as our own, we need to complete the registration process of domain. Domain name registration is becoming increasingly difficult these days. This is due to the fact that most of the top level domains have already been registered by existing websites. So, one finds it hard to get a good domain name for one’s business. An important thing to be kept in mind while going for domain registration is that domain names should be short and easy to remember. They should give information about your product or business. Have you ever wondered why you could easily remember names like google, yahoo or myspace? Well, the answer lies in their short and sweet names. So, the rule of thumb while going for domain registration is not to use more than three words in a name. Many a times, you may get allured by some web hosting companies offering free domain name registration. It’s not a good idea. Never get your domain registration from your web host, even if it’s for free. The reason is that you may, at some point of time, feel the need to change your web hosting company if you get across an interesting plan or simply to increase your web traffic by going to a dedicated server. So, it’s best to go for a reliable registrar for domain name registration of your business while going for a separate company for web hosting of your site. No doubt, you will need to shell out a few extra bucks for getting domain registration from a separate registrar, but this save you from future troubles. Before going for the registration of domain, you must invest sufficient time to research prospective registrars by going through various terms. Do not become influenced by offers of discounted domain registrations or you may end up buying expired domains in the bargain.

25 Jul 09 Domain Registration: 4 Quick Rules to Grab a Traffic-pulling Domain Name
A friend emailed me, “I’ve found many tips regarding domain registration from the internet. But too many of them and I simply cannot remember them all. I don’t have that much time to spend on those. I wonder if you can provide me a quick summary of the major things I should look out for when registering a domain name, so that it makes life easier for me?”
If you’re like that friend of mine looking for short cuts, then here’s my advice…
Honestly, some domain tips are useful and some are not.
And for those truly useful tips, they can be further boiled down into 4 simple yet critical major rules that you can apply to guarantee your domain name’s quality and minimize the chances of others “stealing” it from you.
Here they are…
Rule #1: Short
Why short?
Firstly, most people cannot remember long domain name. Secondly, long domain name is prone to typo when people type into their browser.
You may have heard some so-called gurus saying that your domain name should be long so that it looks more descriptive and at a glance, people will be able to tell what you’re selling.
Well, this is true. But it may not be preferable because as mentioned earlier, long domain name is hard to remember and prone to typo. Agree?
Hence, as a rule of thumb, you should go for short domain name (like “Yahoo” and “Google”) so that people are more likely to remember your domain name and get on your website again and again and again…
Many people are complaining that it’s hard to get a short domain name nowadays. Well, not true. If you put in your heart and soul to think, you’ll definitely come up with one. I guarantee.
To get your creative juices flowing, you can try this: search for “expired domain name” in search engines.
Who knows out of the expired list you may find the right domain name for your website. Or even better, the list may inspire you to come up with your very own unique domain name. Right?
Rule #2: Logical
There are two ways here: either you register a domain name that logically matches what you’re selling or, you simply use your company name as your domain name.
For example, if you sell ebooks online, you should register ebooks dot whatever extension you like (preferably dot com because it’s still the most popular extension todate).
Or if your company name is called Example Pte Ltd, you should register “example.com”. Period.
Rule #3: Spell Check
ALWAYS do a spell check on the domain name before you proceed to make the purchase (register).
Just to let you know, registered domain name is refundable provided you request for the refund within 5 days from the date of registration.
If you register a domain name wrongly, for instance, instead of “example.com”, you registered “exampe.com” (short of ‘l’ — typo) instead, you can ask for a refund so long as you do not exceed the qualified period for refund which is generally 5 days.
(Note: Some domain registrars may have different qualified period for refund. Hence, it’s advisable for you to check with that particular domain registrar before you register the domain name with them.)
On the other hand, if you do not ask for refund within the qualified period, then that misspelled domain name will be attached to you until it expires (the minimum expiry period is one year).
You can’t edit the name even in your domain control panel, it’s fixed once registered.
See, you waste money on a domain name you can’t use due to its wrong spelling. So, don’t take chances. Spending just another 20 seconds to ensure your domain name is error-free is really a good bargain.
Rule #4: Register NOW!
According to statistics, more than 65 domain names are being registered worldwide in every second.
So, please do not wait. Once you’ve thought out a good domain name, quickly go snap it up before someone else does. Or you’ll be too late for the grab.
I hope you can always remember and stick closely to these 4 fundamental yet important rules when you register a domain name.

14 Jul 09 Do you think the Federal Reserve leads to bankrupt nations.is the US going on its way to bankruptcy?
Do you believe we are in deep financial trouble that we won’t be able to get out of?
Do you agree with these writings statements?
The Federal Reserve – Fractional Banking System – always leads to bankrupt nations
All countries in world have a Federal Reserve, like U.S, All these Federal Reserve are controlled by same 13 families.-
Google: Fritz Springmeier 13 Illuminati Bloodlines Links to Fed. Res. articles below.
——————————————————————————–
Federal-Reserve-Money-Creation – Video – quick overview of how Fed. Res. collapses nations.
Federal Reserve is private banks control over Americans.
International bankers, with money control, work together to increase their wealth power, stripping citizens, governments of capital, property, rights, liberties. In history, it seems our governments have increased human rights, but, in fact, this cabal of intl. bankers has increased their financial strangle hold on citizens, business, governments worldwide.
In 1913, the Intl. Banker prompted passed the Banking Act. The US Constitution requires that our government print money, interest free, and set interest rates. But instead, the Banking Act lets the Federal Reserve, a group of private, foreign banks, issue Fed. Res. debt notes (currency) and set interest rates.
Emergences (pretended) of war, famine, etc. make our U.S. government borrow more and more, increasing our U.S. debt (with interest) to them. Fed. Res. is unconstitutional. The 16th amendment to US Constitution makes American citizens subject to pay back these loans through their personal income tax.
The more U.S. government borrows money (wars emergencies), debt interest increases, our money is depreciated, inflation rages. Huge debts for our children !
Fed. Res. raises and lowers banks interest rates to increase their Fed. Res. profits. Fed. Res. continue to concentrate their power and control. In all areas, banking, food, health, … there is rapid change where those in power are increasing their power.
The stated advantage is the Fed. Reserve is working to protect citizens, business, but they’re really just increasing the power, wealth, control of the controlling elites, the bankers, over the rights of citizens worldwide – increasing power of the few over many.
In America, we once had 1,000s of newspaper owners. Now just 9 corporations control our mainstream; news,TV, books, movies.
In all things; banking, food, health, the world moves towards greater concentration of power control, the few over the man, with less less individual freedom !
Fractional Banking How it works to advantage of bankers, theft of individuals
Thanks for help.
