Hello and WOW, logic has a lot to share with you on the exciting topics of Domain Names, E-Marketing, and California. It is only once in the while that Logic Talk posts about what is running in Logic’s thought process.

Who buys domain names?
What do I have to do to add value to a domain name?

Domain Name Investment Answers
Who buys domain names?
Answer:
We know why we at Viper Logic buy domain names is for several reasons and we have mentioned these reasons before here Domain Name Investing

What do I have to do to add value to a domain name?
Answer:
Great question. Use to be years ago that you just went out bought a domain name then sat back waited for a buyer and sold it for more then you bought it for. Those days are gone.
Then it used to be again a few years later that that you bought a domain name parked it with some advertising on it from a search engine like Yahoo, Google, or MSN (now Live.com) and received a check in the mail for each visitor to your parked page when that visitor then clicked on any advertisement on your web site.
Welcome to today, the game is becoming a closed community due to the power that a lot of online companies have built their empires into.

Our Vision of building an Internet Presence
Our guess is that within the next 5 years if you have not entered the online world with one or more of these profiles like a web site, blog, or forum then you are going to end up with a presence that no one knows about, or people are going to be having a great difficult finding you.
We believe this because of the amount of people entering the Internet with and online site daily, and the people already online with a growing plan like Viper Logic has been building for example.

Example:
Like in any industry you have to apply your best skills to be the greatest or retain your online presence and did Viper Logic.
Logic started out with a single web site just like we are hoping you will do. That was 15 years ago, then about 6 years later we added another web site it was our weather web site for Palm Springs here Palm Springs Weather then released 1 forum for Palm Springs, a year later we released 30 new web site, then another forum for beaches. All of this is what it is taking to build on our online presence.
All of this while we were building our our products the services and tools that help other while making Viper Logic money. If you would like to see what we have and are working on as some of these great supported products might help and guide you to a greater success here Business development tools

We really realized a few years later that we should take some of our 2500+ domain names and develop them into something that will provide informative information as well as build some forums that allow visitors to interact with us and other visitors in areas of common interests. Just because something is now like a blog and we remember a lot of you got have this and you have got to do this Internet hyped ideas that have come and gone.
This is why Logic and Catnip did not start a blog in 2005 when they really got going. We launched our Blog in 2008 because we do not have the affordability to get into this and that to only see it fade away. Once Blogs were here to stay we built the Logic Talk blog.
Note about Blogs
If you decide to start a blog and there are a lot of free blog software out there, however Logic’s Blog is a purchased software because we are using this blog as a professional company and we needed control that might not effect your Internet project plan.
What we clearly observe out of the 50+ million blogs on the Internet today is that in part Free Blog Software can be a bad thing.
Here is what we are finding now that 3+ years of blogs have been out on the Internet.
People start out with a new blog going wild and they stall out, so we are going to write about this topic of laying out a plan for building a blog that will last for years to come in the coming days.

Look and in no way is Logic an Investment Advisor
Logic does what to share the various business ideas that have been very profitable for Viper Logic over the years. There is never a get rich quick opportunity period. What investing in domain names to us is all about is that we have been buying domain names for over 10 years.
However the Internet and domain names are relatively new and the business of the Internet and being in the web site world offers a new wealth of millionaire’s that Logic readers about each week at a web site that posts all of the sales for each week here Weekly Domain Name Sales

The Domain Name Journal also has stories about big time domain name buyers and sellers and you can really be inspired by these success stories, however these business owners are rare and you should not have the expectations that you are going to buy a domain name today and sell it tomorrow for millions of dollars, because that is not going to happen.

Costs of being on the Internet
What you can do is buy a domain name I.E. the beginning of anything you are going to do on the Internet for $9.95 USD and follow our training on building a domain name that produces money here on this blog and at the same time you are going to learn what we all ready know is that the Internet is not FREE.

Enter the Internet as a working investment
What is good news is that domain name buying and developing web site, blog or both having professional personalized email addresses and hosting the site at a host provider is a really low cost start to putting you and your project onto the Internet.

Is domain name investing for everyone?
Answer:
Yes you know we can only remember the 2020 vision looking backward that we are all capable of doing, we call the 2020 vision a natural human skill.
Domain names cost $9.95 USD and while it is a per year fee you are the owner of the domain name. If you just want to buy a domain name and sit on it creating a project/site later in life then you can always develop the name into a web site, blog or forum.
What we are so eager to convince you to do today, is secure the domain name because while you can always get a site built you may not be able to acquire a domain name and there is the possibility in the not so distant future that a domain name you might want, will not be available but rather you might have to lease it if you cannot afford a few thousand dollars or more to buy the name.
We will be writing about Domain Name Leasing in the coming weeks.

Where do I check or search to find a domain name for my site project idea?
Answer:
You can simply build a list of 5 or 10 word combinations, using 2 and 3 words combined then go to ViperGate.com here Buy Domain Names and profit
Name Buyers Note
Remember to always buy a TLD (Top Level Domain) that is the extension, ending in .com. This is the most important request we can encourage you to maintain.

How do you sell your own domain names?
Answer:
There are web sites devoted to selling your domain names later in life and these same selling places also offer to sell a forum, web site, or blog as a working product. This of course is after sometime has passed and you have applied a few years of effort into your site.
There is also the possibility that you just buy a domain name and the person looking for that name contacts you through the domain name registry records, and by the way we get people contacting us for a name or 2 each week. That is because we have a lot of domain names and we have some really good names.
We must let you know at this point we have never sold a domain name to date. To see what we think are really great domain names visit our Domain Name Portfolio at ViperNames.com here Domain Names not being used

While like all we write about here on this blog, and by the way the reasons for having 4 topics is to bring something of interest for all readers to enjoy and these topics were carefully selected to be on subjects that we are experienced in.
However just because we write here and have some experience from working within the areas we write about does not mean that we have all of the answers.
In fact we encourage you to post a reply when you have anyhting thoughts comments or more knowledge about our writings so that other readers can gain from all of us. 

Creators of the Domain Name Cluster defined

Definition of a Domain Name Cluster
The following topic is a very heavy topic on a discovery made by the Viper Logic Corporation.
We are utilizing the Logic Talk blog to publish our creation, research and status of the project under the domain name investments section.

The project has been in the research and proving phase since 2000. It was shortly after the launch of our Palm Springs Weather web site that we began buying domain names for other California locations under the title of weather.

The current status is that Domain Name Clusters is on its way to be a theory. and we are applying the identification and experimental investigation to the project at Viper Logic.

It is the goal of Viper Logic through project CaliforniaWeatherAuthority.com to verify our findings and convert the project into an identified fact. Then we will call the product scientifically proven.

Cluster is Clus-ter, Clustered Clus-tered, Clustering Clus-ter-ing, Clusters Clus-ters are a verb. As defined by the American Heritage Dictionary.
A group of the similar elements gathered or occurring closely together, a bunch.
Domain Name is a noun. As defined by the American Heritage Dictionary.
A series of alphanumeric strings separated by periods such as www.YoYoFish.com, that is an address of a computer network connection as well it is to identify the owner of the address.

Domain Name Cluster defined
Our research is into domain names for the world wide web addresses.
When domain names are applied into groups of domain names with the same keywording combinations and applied to the Internet as a cluster is combined with domain names, then together creates a Domain Name Cluster.

How this research got its start
Begining into the domain name acquisition world in 1993 Viper Logic a few years later in 1996/97 began to realize keyword domain names were important to search engine algorithm based on the way search bots, spiders crawled around via the world wide web searching for and information obstracting the information and delivering the requested information to the requester. We also realized how a human goes about finding information utilizing naturally these keyword principles in a similarly equal way that search engines find information.

What is a keyword domain name?
A keyword domain name is a name that is popular with a requesters natural way of typing. Like you are searching for a car so you can type car.com into your address bar, our type “car” or into your favorite search engines “search” box. The return results are going to bring for car.com a single web site, and if you typed car into your browser will bring every web site with the word car mentioned on any web site around the globe.

Example:
You are a mid to large sized corporation and do a search on the Internet for a company that offers managed website hosting and this searcher typed this request into their favorite search engine “Managed Website Hosting” and the searcher arrives at a page offering all kinds of companies that provide managed website hosting. The company at the top of the returned results page to the requester is ViperGate.com a managed website hosting company.

How a keyword works in search engines
How did the company with the domain name ViperGate.com come to the top of the requesters search for managed website hosting? Simple ViperGate has a second domain name redirected to ViperGate.com, and that name is a keyword domain name as keywords were defined in the last paragraph.

Domain Name Clusters are keyword driven
We have on this blog discussed under the menu section titled: Domain Name Investments where we lightly discuss our California Weather Authority project and applying a domain name cluster to that project. We are going to use an auto parts and repair center service company with locations in all western states to describe our research and findings.

How does a Domain Name Cluster work
We will explain domain name clustering and apply it to this research project using a fictitious company named St. Pauls Auto Repair Centers and show how a cluster of domain names can be applied to any company, service, or project that can be thought of.

Lets look at the whole name of the auto repair company. StPaulsAutoRepairCenters.com is the companies web site address. The company sells auto parts and has a service center to do repairs to cars and trucks at each location.

Side Note about the domain name
You can see that the the name is not going to work in the marketing of St. Pauls so they really can use a cluster to solve their marketing on the Internet and they will need and easier to remember domain name for their radio, TV and print advertising campaigns, but that is a subject for another sharing lesson in the future.
To learn more about selecting a domain name that will work for today and the future please visit our domain name buyers guide Domain Name Buyers Guide

Building a Domain Name Cluster
St. Pauls has 450 auto repair centers in the Western United States and there is a lot of competition as in any business of course. especially on the Internet
We are going to build St. Pauls a domain name cluster targeting the elements that are defined by the nature of their business as well as the locations.
The name of the business will not be used or involved in this search engine result and marketing tool building example.
St. Pauls is in the auto parts and auto repair business and located in 450 different cities.

So lets use a few of their locations for our example. We will select Fullerton, Irvine and Mesa and build them a search that works.
FullertonAutoParts.com and FullertonAutoRepair.com
IrvineAutoParts.com and IrvineAutoRepair.com
MesaAutoparts.com and MesaAutoRepair.com

But the domain names I want are not available
Now it could be that a few of the domain names that we want for 450 locations requiring 900 domain names are taken and you have a few choices.
You can reverse a few (as we had to do for some of our California weather project) for example lets say that MesaAutoRepair.com is taken (and to have a cluster no matter the effort or the cost these must be the extension .com TLD (Top Level Domains).
You can search who has the name here Domain Name who is look up see if they are using the name contact them and make them and offer.

Who can help us buy a Domain Name that is already taken
To make and offer you can hire a non involved or not emotionally involved domain name broker to handle the aquasition of the name or names you are going to want.
Yes we offer this service here Domain Name Brokers

What did St. Pauls Auto Centers Buy
They bought all nouns, they bought all keywords, they bought the locations for local searching ease, they bought what they are in the business of providing and they bought what their business does.

Think about this:
I live in Mesa Arizona and I work on my own cars when they need it, but before I am going to drive all over town spending my time and wasting a lot of 4 to 5.00 dollar a gallon gas.
I am going to look on the Internet for not “auto parts” but “auto parts in mesa” and your St. Paul’s web site for the Mesa Arizona location is going to be there for the mechanic to select from.
Depending on the advancements and features of your web site the mechanic is either going to call to see if you are open, and have the part, or he or she is going to check online for the part in stock and possibly if you offer it buy the part online and have it shipped to him or her.
This depends on the mechanics level of trust with the Internet.

Lets take a look at MesaAutoParts.com and notice you are going to have bought two domain names, but you will be building only one web site for each.
One domain name is going to be the primary domain name and the other is a redirect to the other.
There is a lot more to this and it gets into the SEO/SEM (Search Engine Optimization and Marketing) portion of your project so you can rest assured and we hope that you confirm that your web master or web site building partner is certified in SEO/SEM.

Actually there is a second option that could apply to this because St Paul’s is an auto part store and auto repair center so they could depending on budget or after running the redirected domain to a single web site for a while determine how the resource is monitizing for St. Paul’s Auto Centers and build out the other 450 locations web sites.

Applying the domain names to web sites
Now St. Paul has over 900 domain names and you might say wow they have a web site for their whole company and now they have to build 450 more web sites.
The answer is no they do not. It not only would cost a fortune it would take a lifetime to complete this project.

Build a sample amount of test sites
In another approach St. Paul’s could try this project out on say 25 or 50 locations and see what the out come looks like then move forward.

What St. Pauls is going to do is build a master template with some variations and a basic text or on page content theme of wording pertaining to their business. Next what each web site will need:
Wording content that pertains to that operations location like a front-page introduction “Welcome to Mesa Auto Repair”
A local map on a page of the site.
Driving directions and the locations physical address.
Each site will need a per page SEO/SEM to assure your found first in a search return results.
Each site should link back to the main web site StPaulsAutoRepairCenters.com and StPaulsAutoRepairCenters.com should have a state, county, and city location navigation system for ease of location.
And there is a lot more that can be done to insure your locations are seen by the search engines as the local source for the person looking for auto repair and auto parts.

Search Engines and Domain Name Clusters
Now that you have bought a ton of on topic keyword domain names and you are building what looks like the worlds largest web site portfolio on the planet please relax as we are going to explain what the Domain Name Cluster is going to do for your business and using keywords what value you have built if you are bought out and the name of your business changes.
We picked the keyowrds for your product or service not the name of your company. The new owners wiill be able to use your domain name cluster with their name on the business because your name is not in it.
A few wording changes to each web site where the name is listed and the new owners are off and running utilizing the domain name cluster.

See a working Domain Name Cluster at work
Go to your favorite search engine and type in Newport Beach Weather and we are in the top of the page number two today. The best part of utilizing a domain name cluster is that you do not need to pay for any online advertising because you are already going to be highly exposed.

There is more to this type of undertaking but you can see what we have discovered and you and your chain of buisnesses will be postioned for the coming world of local search as it gets refined.
This Newport Beach Weather web site is part of the California Weather Authority web site cluster and you can visit it here California Weather Authority remember the content on these sites is a work in progress.
For a copy of our full report on the California Weather Authority project please contact us here at Viper Logic Advanced Technology Engineering Company

Web Site page Content Note
There is no replacement for having dynamic content relevant to your business on your web site and if written correctly and written on the topic of your business will only help improve your overall top of the search engine return results.

Domain Name redirect rule
It is advised that you never redirect more then one single domain name to your web sites for a total of never more then two domains to a single web site.

Search Engines will not look upon you in a friendly way if you do this. The second domain name needs to be a 301 redirect, but your web master or web site developers will know what a 310 redirect is.

Thank you for reading our domain name clustering creation and we will have more on the subject in the coming weeks and months because this is a work in process project head for the theory status.

3 Investments, and only one is going up

What is in a domain name
Looking back is like looking at a stock like AMD (Advanced Micro Device) they produce processor chips like Intel does but they are 15 times smaller and these are the only 2 manufacturers of processor chips in the world that go into yours and mine computers anyways.
In 2006 the stock hit a high of around 42.00 and today it is running a little over 7.00 dollars per share. Hinesight is 20/20 and looking back will case most of us to hesitate when making and investment like those in any home, other then your primary residents, stocks, or domain names.

AMD Price history
Looking at the AMD (Advanced Micro Device) stock history and not selling the stock when it was 42.00 dollars and still owning it at 7.00 dollars is just sometimes the way things go.

Stocks, Real Estate, and Domain Names
Why is Logic talking about stocks and real estate because for the most part in this, a bad economy and it is really bad these days.
You should expect the loss on investments if you did not sell during the better times.

Set a Price to sell Investments, and stick with it
So we all hold on awaiting the next time it begins to rise and this way we can sell it. This is why having a sell price for a real estate or stock investment is so important, even before we buy it because it is going to rise sometime eventually and here we go again greed kicks in and we hold on only to see the same reverses happen to us all again.

Domain Name Prices are still rising
One area that is gaining in sells and gaining in price is the current market for a good domain name. We just read about a domain name as a great example of buying a name not using it and watching the price go up over a short period of time.

Domain Names with Value
The sell history on this name is a good one to share with you.
It is NightLife.net and it was bought in May 2006 for a little over 5,500.00 dollars and it sold this week for 20,000.00 dollars almost 4 times the money in 2 years.

Investor Note about .net domain names
Remember reading we do not like .net extensions for you to invest in because for example there were only 3 domain names with that (TLD) Top Level Domain extension sold this week at a premium price.

Hard to find investments like that in today’s market place
Even for a domain name the market to find a great name is difficult and this is why we are here to encourage you our readers to buy a name get busy building it into a great web site offering helpful information and gathering the visitors email addresses from your web site for another money making idea we already are sharing with our email marketing readers at the E-Marketing section of this blog.

What could have, might have, been
Who really knows if the site had been built into a great web site for a hot market offering a lot of night life or night life entertainment groups it may have sold for 100’s of thousands of dollars or depending on the advertising and features millions of dollars could have been realized.

Ok thank you for reading our thoughts about investing into the great world of domain names and stay tuned.

Where are all of the Domain Names being used

More Domain Names being used for Blogs
Hello it is another week of great opportunities for the world of Domain Names Investments.

How many web sites are on the Internet?
Total number of web sites and blogs worldwide as of January 2008 is 156,000,000 million offering billions of pages.
There are a lot of blogs on the Internet and over the past 3 years this has really eaten up a lot of domain names.

Just like our blog you are reading today it required a domain name to begin building a presence on the Internet. Logic had to create a blog, the blog needed and Internet address and we selected LogicsBlog.com to build and become our outside information delivery tool.
The great thing about blogs is that you can just go to your favorite search engine and type in the search box “blog software” and you will find lots of blogging software like we did to build our Logic Talk blog.

So if last week you had followed our advise and bought your families name with a .com on the end for 9.95 dollars you could now begin building a fun project like Logic can because Logic owns LanceConway.com.

If you have not gone to ViperGate.com and bought your domain name then let us help you with a few tips before you start looking for your favorite domain name.
Finding a Domain Name Tips:

Putting your list to work you can now go to ViperGate.com and see which one of your names are available Managed Hosting Services

Family Unit Interaction is a good thing
The reason we selected also to choose your family name as your very first domain name to get started is this can be a fun family participation project to gather around the living room and create your list of domain names, create your personal email addresses for each family member and then to build your first web site or blog adding things as a family like vacations, photos, videos, history, achievements, etc.

You can build a blog or a web site using a software that we will teach you find or buy. To find a web site building software you would, just like we showed you how to find blog software in the last paragraph except this time you would type into the search box “web site building software.”

A Few Computer Skills Needed to get Started
Today though still requiring some education and a few skills these web site and blog building softwares are easier then in anytime we can recall iin Internet history. This is why we are confident you can build this lasting family project and we think family projects make for a healthier family.

Ok when you search for your blog or web site software you will need to do some homework and with some effort as a family this can be a great project and you need to be sure you understand all you will be learning to properly utilize these great software tools. Do not be afraid there are forums all over the Internet to teach and help you along with this Logic Talk blog.
Once you select the software that is best for your family then you will need to go to your ViperGate.com account, log in and upgrade your domain name parking account to a web site or blog hosting account for 24.95 per month email accounts with antivirus and anti spam included.
(We believe ViperGate.com has the best anti-spam software and hardware protection there is available today)

The domain name and the web site or blog hosting is all managed under your same account.
Our system once you upgrade to hosting will activate your account providing the FTP account log-in information then-upload your site via FTP.
There are great free FTP account softwares you can find again by going to your search engine and searching for “FTP Software.”

FTP Software What it is
FTP allows the transferring of files between computers software provides the unloading capabilities to send your web site or blog to your ViperGate.com account. These programs are referred to as the client program it allows your computer to connect to in this case our ViperGate.com servers where your web site or blog will be located.
These are secure access server files when you purchase a hosting account from VipGate.com you will be given your FTP server access user Id and Password. This way when you have your web site software and have built a web site or if you have a blog software you are ready to FTP it to the server and begin sharing it with the World Wide Web.

There are softwares that do not require you to have HTML programming skills. Mostly you would just need some good typing skills and know how to upload your photo and videos and before you know it you are off and running your own Internet presence.
