Focused Domain Name Clusters
Building on a micro cluster
To catch you up to speed if you are not aware of what in our opinion a Domain Name Cluster is we have it defined here Domain Name Clusters.
A Micro Cluster Owner
Hello my name is Logic the Global Domain Name guy for Viper Names and as a company we have a dream that with hard work and friends will come true because we have a passion to become the best of the best in all we do. We live in the city of Palm Springs, California where we operate our business Viper Logic a software engineering and development company.
At Viper Names we own a lot of domain names and have a site where they are available for public view at our Domain Name Portfolio and we are going to discuss what we are wanting to do with a set cluster of names pertaining to California, weather and each Coachella Valley city.
This cluster begins life in the Coachella Valley located in Riverside County, California and the city of Palm Springs is one of nine cities and a hand full of unincorporated towns located here so we will first list the domain names that we have for our cities and twons and show one working weather model that is active in Palm Springs and explain the rest of the cluster and how we want to build it out covering the entire Coachella Valley.
Domain Name Micro Cluster list
First we select the main site a name with the regional location in it to be the micro cluster domain name featuring the directory of cities with an active map selector. We have two to choose from but either would work.
CaliforniaDesertWeather.com or PalmSpringsValleyWeather.com
Cluster of cities to be built as weather sites for each city in the above region.
DesertHotSpringsWeather.com, PalmDesertWeather.com, WeatherPalmSprings.com, CathedralCityWeather.com, RanchoMirageWeather.com, IndioWeather.com
WeatherMecca.com, WeatherCoachella.com, ThermalWeather.com, WeatherThousandPalms.com, IndianWellsWeather.com, LaQuintaWeather.com,
CabazonWeather.com and SaltonSeaWeather.com
We added two additional weather location domain names that are outside of the Coachella Valley being the CabazonWeather.com located as the first city outside of the valley to the north and SaltonSeaWeather.com located just outside of the valley to south and these two are to cover the ends of this cluster because their presence and weather conditions are similar to those of the Coachella Valley.
Domain Name Cluster working model
We have had a domain name cluster running for a few years now and you can visit it here but be reminded there is a major update awaiting us to carve out time to implement into these fully functional weather sites at California Beach Weather.
Our first weather web site for our micro cluster
In 1999 we released the first weather web site for Viper Logic in Palm Springs, California named with live web cams and today the site is the most popular and accurate weather web site in the Coachella Valley with multiple weather stations placed at each end of this long narrow city. We also now feature 9 live web cams and city information for visitors and local residents to enjoy and you can see this working model here Palm Springs Weather as well it is branded locally as PsView.com.
What the final completed micro cluster will do for us
We have a master plan for each city and important location that included weather, web cams, city focused information, and a travelers itinerary system for each city in California all 478 of them and the final project will then be called a product named the California Weather Authority. A copy of the California Weather Authority master plan is available by contacting us from this blog.
To get to the master plan completion level Viper Logic must build out cities region by region and that takes us back to this step on our journey to build out the entire Coachella Valley a desert visitor hot bed and we are planning to locate at least one weather station in each of the 14 locations with a web cam at each city as well.
This 14 unique cities and 1 main site directory will extend our weather and information to new heights of site traffic and popularity through the cluster that started with the one PsView.com site in 1999. It was this web site and nearly 10 years of operating it that shared with us at Viper Logic what can be possible state wide for California and with this information we applied our Advanced Technology Engineering skills towards the future of this project.
In Closing
Domain Name Clusters are very focused projects that allow for the most accurate detailed in the case of this micro cluster the focus is on weather and visitor information by city. Each name becomes a developed and focused location unique to its city and culture instead of weather web sites that are all things to all people. please stay in touch with Viper Logic and their corporate mascot fromtime to time so you can see all that becomes of our large scale popularity and revenue stream builder.
Available Domain Names
Selecting a good domain name is easier then you think
Buying a domain name just could not be any easier then the way we buy them at Viper Names. If you listen to the radio, watch television or read you are on your way so we recommend you always have a paper and pen in hand to write these domain names down. Hey folks buying domain names is not rocket science it is knowledge based logic.
Logic bought a name this week
KnowledgeBasedLogic.com Knowledge Based Logic is a three keyword domain name that is targeting algorithms software coding mostly this name is focused on what we at Viper Logic do Advanced Technology Engineering here Advanced Technology Engineering and the way this was so easy to buy is simple. Logic listens to the radio makes notes then checks to see if a name is available and as easy as that we own another domain name for less then 10.00 dollars.
How to check a domain names popularity
We at Viper Names have tools (lots of tools) to help us realize what a domain name is going to do today and these tools allow us to predict from a non scientific approach the future of the domain names we invest in.
These tools are not the only way to investigate how good a domain name you come across is going to be. Here is the easiest and simplest way to find out the value of a set of words you are going to add .com (always invest in .com names only) to the end of.
Check the value of your keywords
Take your names as you come across then go to your favorite search engine add parentheses to the ends of the words, be sure the words are separated like this “Knowledge Based Logic” and see how many (SERP’s) Search Engine Result Pages are returned. In our case it was over 10,000, then look at what the return results are for example which companies or organizations are using the combines words and decide if you would be able to develop the site and monetize it for you to make money at least until someone comes along to buy the name.
Names that are developed into sites make selling the domain / site and easier sell because you will add content lot of content to this site then add (PPC) Pay Per Click advertising from any of your favorite search engine (very easy to do) and make some money. The site content will also provide the potential buyer with a vision as to what the name can become.
Viper Names Client Example
We have a friend that builds e banks and owns a domain name cluster read here about domain name clusters Domain Name Clusters anyways he owns all of the countries for the keyword e bank and e banking and the country name like ebankmexico.com (e bank Mexico) here E Bank Mexico is one that he has developed into a page loaded with information about banking and e banking and Mexico this way he shows his vision for the site and feeds the search engines relevant content making the site easier for the search engines to find.
Domain Name Investing is temporarily cooling
The economy has been in a downward spiral since 2006 so lately we have in 2008 really backed off of buying names for the first time in over 11 years of domain name buying. Once in a while you just cannot resist the temptation to pick up a name or two from time to time because to describe domain name investing it is like lottery fever with greater returns or gambling with gamblers fever again with greater returns a domain name investor can receive the domain name buyer fever and yes Logic has the fever though toned from years past.
We are not buying like we used to because we are thinking that with the economy not hitting bottom until 2010 with a recovery beginning in 2012 in our opinion anyways we felt is wise to hold onto our money only paying the annual renewals to maintain our domain name portfolio so we would have the money when others are needing to sell their domain names to get through this healthy economic time of adjustment.
Breaking Domain Name News
08/29/2008.
Domain Name annual fees are rising on October 1st
For those of us that are not aware of how domain names are paid for this will help us, a domain name is paid on and annual bases and you can pay anywhere from 9.95 to 35.00 depending on who you buy the names from so it is always wise to shop around however a good reminder is not just buy a domain name on price because our thoughts ar in some cases you get what you pay for to a point and we are not saying to pay 35.00 dollars for a domain name but you should not look for .99 cents either you are really buying into a gimmick however a good domain name price is around the 10.00 dollar range as you will find additional management services are included with this price range like Viper Gate here offers Certified Domain Name Sellers
The (ICANN) Internet Corporation for Assigning Names and Number has announced for the second year in a row an increase in the annual renewal price and new domain name sells that is not a big deal unless you own a lot of domain names like Viper Names does here Domain Name Buyers.
Building a Business starting at $9.95 Part 2
Yes you can really start a business today for $9.95
We really mean what we say although this approach is going to be more work then just signing up with a paid (24.95 per month) web site hosting company but either way be sure they offer site traffic statistics.
This article and the Part 1 article here Building a Business Part 1 with your new domain name you are going to be off and running even starting to gain Internet site popularity and add (PPC) pay per click and affiliate partner advertising on your site this way money starts coming in to you.
We want to get you up and in the money making business, though these two items will only make you some money, so we are going to call this income seed money because you will need money to build a relationship and fund a product or service of your own by year two.
Recap of Part 1 on building a business for $9.95
Part 1 went really well in two ways, you started your domain name investment portfolio even though you might only have one name perhaps with the vast amounts of domain name buying tips we provide here on the blog here Domain Name Investing and you have an official site on the Internet so you are now beginning to be able to be found.
Signing up for a PPC (pay per click) campaign with your favorite search engine
We will share first how to sign up for a PPC advertising campaign where every time someone clicks on an advertisement on your site you will be paid then for number two we will share how to select and sign up a few choice affiliate programs this is where a company pays you for every site visitor that clicks on then signs up to be an affiliate member from your site and the payments vary but you can make even more seed money with affiliates then the PPC campaigns.
We produced this article a while back but nothing has changed as to how to begin collecting your very own advertising revenue here How to Sign Up for PPC
Finding and signing up for affiliate partner programs
Lets start with the best affiliate program which is Logic’s own Viper Partners here Viper Affiliate Programs but we will show you how to find others and what is a good and what is a bad affiliate program.
Lets go to your favorite search engine and type in the keywords “Affiliate Programs” and see the 10’s of thousands available to you to choose from then pick one and become an affiliate member so you can be provided a code for your web site so each time a person signs up coming through your site and spends money you will be paid.
Now that you searched and found all of the affiliate programs available to you read very carefully and select only a few hopefully for products or services that are related to your sites content topic these will convert with greater ease into paying customers of the programs you selected because those that find your site are looking for the similar topic of the affiliate programs you selected. Note you should not offer more then a few affiliate programs besides our Viper Partner program of course and we do not want your site to look to busy and full of stuff because remember you have a lot of content on your site, you have a PPC campaign running and you are now going to have several affiliate program links as well.
We just want you to have a lot of content about your topic, (in our case Freedom Cookies recipes about cooking and making things for FreedomCookies.com) we want you to offer a little PPC advertising and a few affiliate programs so your site looks clean as is easy to navigate around on the pages making the visitor experience pleasant so they return again and again.
Your site promotion is needed now
Lets take a look you have bought a name, set up a few email addresses, built a site, added content, added two revenue seed money builders and it is now time to work at getting your traffic up to a level that will get your site enough click through from your two money makers to build up your money for the final stage of building an online business starting a $9.95.
First of all your site will automatically be indexed into the search engines for it to begin getting a start of traffic daily, next you are going to go in some industry groups online or offline your choice that are on your sites content topic, then you do not want to sign up for 500 directories, search engines in fact if you do submit your site to a directory be sure to find directories that are popular like DMOZ.org is number one and you can do this by going to some web master forums just do a search for “Webmaster Forums” visit and again save your time by not signing up besides the signature back links will bring you very little value because the audience is mostly in under developed nations and they are there to push their stuff usually pyramid schemes and affiliate programs of their own.
Good Traffic Building Resource
We encourage you to not sign up for webmaster forums, they are usually (Logic has over 60 accounts with webmaster forums and we used them to test for quality and signature back links by being active daily and our conclusion is they are a waste for where we want you to go $$$$$$) people with to much time on their hands or they are lonely, so just browse though the pages and read and learn unfortunately you are going to see the same questions asked over and over again a good reason no one does what we are asking you to do which is to read and make notes, you will learn techniques that you can apply to your site to build on your traffic like article writing, learn more about affiliate programs, learn a lot about search engine optimization etc.
Near the end of the first year it is time to have your own product or service
When the time comes after nearly one year of working five differant times a week on your site by adding continuous content and building on your sites popularity through what you learn in online forums and in the online communities and your traffic per day is a steady couple of thousand unique visitors (learn unique visitors through your site traffic reports that should be a part of your web site hosting plan) it will be time to begin offering your own product or service where you will be making the bigger money and also you will have a site that you can sale for a profit because you have a try offered product or service and not just affiliate programs and some PPC advertising campaigns from your favorite search engine.
We have written two articles on unique products how to find and sell them on the Internet
These will help you learn what to look for when searching for a product or service to offer for your now popular site:
Unique Products that sell Part 1 Products that sell on the Internet Part 1
Unique Products that sell Part 2 Products that sell on the Internet Part 2
Building a Business starting at $9.95 part 1
It is true a business today can start for $9.95
We really do mean what we say and knowing to truly be on the Internet one must start with the purchase of a domain name so that is your 9.95 dollar purchase and the rest will come from free software and services to build out your new domain name into a running profitable business in one year or sooner.
Look at Viper Logic through their Viper Names Investment site making money on domain names is simple, easy and one of the biggest no brainier in the history of man kind, so we are going to select a Viper Name from our portfolio right now and get started building a mock company down below.
We are going to create a business of offering several items as an affiliate web site and offering some PPC advertising from your favorite search engine resulting in a business that you have started for under 10.00 dollars then we will migrate this business into local advertising where you make the better return on your efforts and perhaps even gain some relationships with businesses selling products online and offer these products on your web site of course this would be a few years down the road.
Next you would be wise to select a name by first reading our 11 steps to buying domain names with value here Domain Name Buyers Help then be sure that the business you are starting you have a good general knowledge about because one thing you will be doing about 3 to 4 times a year is writing content for your new business this is going to help the search engines recognize you and your business as a true Internet player.
Right now you need to find your domain name and get this started because if you are not on the Internet then, my friend you not in existence you are under the radar and to gain big money from your first initial $9.95 investment you are going to do some work but you can do this at night and on the weekends until you are rolling in some starting income.
Mock Product or Company web site
We have just threw a dart and selected a name we actually like because when you get into the domain name investment business you are going to want to treat it like a good wine collector like Logic is and does in that you only buy the wines that you would drink yourself so even if you can never sell the wine you can enjoy drinking it. This rule about wine is good to apply to domain name investing so you will be able to say what Logic says, that we love all of our domain names.
We have selected FreedomCookies.com because freedom cookies are an idea we thought up to sell cookies to help our troops and their families while they are off fighting in the wars.
Our idea for this site is to begin it as a cookie receipt site since you are on a budget and cannot begin with a cookie company though the site can certainly end up as that in the end.
Ok you build a site in HTML (a programming for the Internet Language) using a free software and we are going to find this software by searching the Internet for free HTML software, HTML software is the easiest most common software used to create web sites or you can get it at Free HTML Software and you will need a place to store your web site (a web site hosting provider) for free and again do a search on the Internet for “Free Web Site Hosting” and there are 1000’s to choose from but be sure you read what you are going to have to put on your site because nothing is for free meaning they are going to have to be getting something like advertisements placed on your web site.
You really need to find a web site hosting company that does not run advertisements because it might interfere with your ability to place ads on your site from one of the top three search engines where you will begin to make your small but important amount of money to build your site traffic from all while gaining some seed money not a bad gig is it.
Now that you have built your web site, have it hosted with a web site hosting company it is time to understand the value of content good quality content that you will be placing throughout your site. This in part will begin your traffic building and if you would like to continue learning how to build a popular web site please read our other posts here.
