Domain Names Ride Out Recession
Domain Names are a good business model
While we Domain Name Investors are not reading a whole lot on the subject of domain names in the newspapers or magazines these days with all of the media coverage on the state of the economy and the up coming election the world of domain name investing on forums and online trade groups is alive and well.
Logic has been reading about some great domain name sells at DNJournal.com and realize that buying and holding is a wise idea for Viper Names because for a good example we recently read a story about a guy that bought a name for 60.00 (the going rate if you encounter no other bidders) off of a dropped domain name site and years later he sold it GasPrices.com for 8,000.00 dollars only a little later to see it sell for 225,000.00 dollars but fear no evil about this mans loss because he made several million dollars a few years later for only two names.
He went on buying and today is one of the major buyer, developer and seller of names and sites and some are related to cities being like Victorville.com. One name I thing he bought for thousands of dollars and sold it only a few months later for 1.8 million dollars so we can all see he is making great money. If you have been a reader of this topic of the Logic Talk Blog then you know like the man we are writing our commentary about owns over 85% off his names in the .com (TLD) Top Level Domain the extension following the name you buy and to buy .com extensions is the only way to truly invest in domain names, to us a .com is like the real estate investor world location, location, location.
Learn about domains before you burn your money
We offer you basic to advanced education about how to buy a domain name that will have a true value to others at a future date on our site here Domain Name Buyers Guide and we offer the latest domain name tactics here on this blog Domain Name Investing.
Logic has two names that match this story
We went in and looked at our domain name portfolio here Domain Name Portfolio’s and found some names we liked to share for today’s story one being MicroCharts.com a term used for the stock investing world of futures, Micro Charts. Charts are good way to watch and document anything including the futures and domain names. We also own a single word domain name that is a city in Kentucky Knottsville.com a little place or location but at least Logic owns a city domain name so I wanted to share it with you.
Investing in domain names appears to be riding our the Recession
Living in an economic dowturn time has several advantages and we will mention a few positive ones because all we are reading about is how bad everything is so we can look to the bright side of these times. Look at Viper Logic we developed a great business product Viper Mailer an email marketing software here Email Marketing Authority for small, medium and large businesses to grow their customer loyalty and to utilize a service that has the best (ROI) Return on Investment a few years ago and sales went ok but nothing to really pay the bills then the economy went bad and with some effort by us to enhance the product and to become the Email Marketing Industry Authority on the subject sells took off and today 2.5 years lter the product is Viper Logic’s hottest offering.
Next the youth of America has had it really good looking at the past 12 to 15 years when most of these children were very young and now today they are nearing graduation from High Schools and Colleges are entering the roughest economic time to find a job. Great timing and Logic means this because this country was really getting into the luxury items on barrowed easy money so all f this correction brings back value to the special things in life like High end Cars (over 100,000.00), Mc Mansions (over 1,500,000.00) and then we see theatre box office sales at all time highs a great back to basics for family values.
However welcome to a true recession proof investment that shows no near future signs of coming down off of the great ride it is experiencing and there is a theory to why this might be so recession proof if there is such a product or service that exists. We think that it is because of the value owning the correctly worded domain name for a company’s product or service is worth what ever they have to pay because the payback is near immediate.
A great example of this can be seen right here at Viper Logic see we have several products our Email Marketing Product Viper Mailer and the domain name is ViperMailer.com but one other way to get to us is through EmailMarketingAuthority.com and we have Viper Gate a domain name seller and web site hosting site at ViperGate.com buy again you can get to us through ManagedWebSiteHosting.com and both of these generic keyword names best describe who and what we are gaining great natural traffic looking for detailed information on both of our products.
Companies understand what good domain names can do for their sells
Companies that what to get to their audience understand the value of owning keyword domain names and the value associated with those domain names so they will pay what it takes to capture these site visitors and when you utilize this style of approach and own thes names and their associated sites with informative information then you have a fixed marketing cost and do not need to advertise as heavily to get these buyers to your sites.
A little education on Domain Names and you will be a solid investor
So to wrap up this domain name investors encouragement article it is to be treated no different then any other investment it all starts by doing your homework and then you begin buying names turning some along the way for a profit will not hurt you and can add fuel to your wallet to advance into greater names to add into your portfolio of domain names. So come along with Logic and join the Domain Name Investing industry.

What is a Landing Page
A landing page is a web site internal page of your web site for an example lets use our weather page, we are PsView a weather and information web site for Palm Springs, California so our main web site page is http://www.PsView.com however lets say that we sent out an email message featuring PsViewer news and information release for Palm Springs and it was focused on our weather forecast for Palm Springs we would want the link in our message to take the PsViewer directly to the forecast page bypassing the main or home page of our web site and the link would look like this http://www.psview.com/weather/ however you could name this in your email marketing account message builder to look more friendly like this Palm Springs Weather Forecast.
Taking a landing page to the customized level
Taking a landing page to the next level and a great way to track a specific offer build for your email marketing campaign is to create page within your site for example titles PsView.com/loyalty offer and again you can rename the link in your message it to be friendly like Loyalty Special that goes only to your message recipients and generally these type of loyalty customer offers are for VIP customers you would like to do something special for or the first opportunity to receive a newly released product etc.
Lets say you have an email contact list of 5000 contacts and your loyalty customers make up 1000 of these contacts because email marketing service providers have features that allow you to upload and maintain your contacts into a main group of all of your contacts and say up to 5, 10, or even 30 additional groups you are afforded the luxury of having your complete contact list of 5000 and your 1000 contacts as well in another group so you can send only your loyalty customers special offers as mentioned above.

American’s will not stand up for anything
America is becoming more communist each day
Look Logic needs to explain a few facts about why even I am concerned about what is becoming of our country and this comes from a middle ages person who has produced no carbon footprints that means I will live a while longer with no concerns about how my children’s future will fair because Logic does not have any, this means I am staying true to our environment besides to much importance is placed on continuing ones legacy. Logic does stay true to our country by paying my taxes so that I have one freedom protected for us mostly by the media the Freedom of Speech.
We are the country of freedom but the freedoms we so dearly enjoy but will not stand up for are leaving us one item at a time as they are gradually being taken away from us all and it appears we are not willing or uneducated about what we can do about it.
Fellow Americans listen, you are being told more then you are deciding for yourself
The government is made up of those that represent you and I at least the is the principal of our system though it truly has become a rich and famous game with lobbyist but I am not here to write about what has become of the system, I am here to remind us all that this is our country and we need to take back some of the controls and this starts with disciplining your not so perfect child by becoming less of a friend and return to being more of a parent so stop coming a running to your child’s mistakes and defending them because they will not grow up correctly with timeouts and helicopter parenting all I ask is that you look back on your childhood and remember how you were taught to respect your elders and be responsible. If we continue on this course your children will comply with each command they are given from authority or be in grave trouble for not complying and like I said it is no skin off of Logic’s back because I do nor does anyone close to me including family have any carbon footprints in effecting my life.
Parents here is your Logical closing thought
One more thought for you parents if your child is on a sports team and they do not win they are not awarded for that like you have it today they are a looser at that one thing big deal, it builds strength to do better at something else and in my opinion it builds on their character. Look at it like this scenario, you run for President of the United States and you do not win the election what are you rewarded? Your not getting anything directly, you lost period.
More Governmental Policing laws hit the books
Children under 18 have a curfew true, do we need the government to decide this for you? This includes not being able to operate a motor vehicle from 10 PM until 5 AM. Parents look into the mirror you are in part the cause of our own police state of raising your children. Your child can do no wrong my fxxxing ass, can you not see back that when you were your childs age all of the wrong you did maybe even over and over again and you were disciplined by your parents not the police or school and now the Federal Government is stepping up these efforts in part because America employs way to much law enforcement excluding Homeland Security.
No Smoking anywhere
No Drinking and driving
No Drugs that should not be illegal and would not be if the Government could figure out how to collect the taxes on them
No Walking the Dog without a leach then a poop bag next not here and not there ever
No Walking the Dog on the beaches
No Drinking on Beaches no at least in most of Logic’s state of California
No Cell Phone use in cars no
No Text Messaging under the age of 18 is coming next while driving
No article on control freaks could be complete without mentioning the environmentalists
Like the media industry is responsible to your freedom of speech, so to does the environmentalists as they are viewed by us as an industry with a policing force and have a large powerful lobby group and these people want to save and protect everything except they do not want to truly sacrifice anything in their own lifestyles because to truly do that in my opinion they would need to walk and never drive, they would need to have produced no carbon footprints, they would not smoke, would not have a yard that uses water or carbon burning electricity etc.
Next there is within each city these days a preservation committee
To keep this portion of the story short I will provide one example within our own city of Palm Springs, California where we have a large group of historic sites protectionism going on. You work hard spend your hard earned money to buy land or to buy and existing property only to have these people get organized and come after you to protect this house because some famous person went to the bathroom in this house or this business but what Logic clearly sees is that these people want this, they get it there way a lot of the time to protect this property from being altered or taken down but what they seem to not do or be willing to do is buy it for themselves and have it their way and Logic calls this putting your money where you mouth or heart is?
What a few of the true problems in America
Number One
In my opinion it is that we have all became to politically correct and it really shows in fact recently Logic has began to express how Logic feels truthfully about others instead of being nice an politically correct and to share with you it makes me feel a whole lot better and at peace with myself for being honest. Besides we have a double standard society where Imus in the Morning calls a group of black basket ball players a bunch of nappy headed hores and who knows maybe they are because I personally could give a shxt but on the other hand on live TV as well Jesse Jackson a reverend can wish that he could cut the balls off of Barack HUSSEIN Obama and I could give a rats ass here as well I am not a fan of our current candidates, however nothing is done about it, in fact his statement (desire) barely received any coverage at all if you compare the two and before you say it it is not as much as what was said as how it was said the Imus said it in passing so he should be President then where Jesse said it like a prison inmate with great intention.
My point here is neither one of these men said anything we all do not think if we are truly honest with ourselves which Logic is hoping we still are as it is still one of our freedoms apparently to think something nasty so long as we do not say it out loud.
Number Two
We American’s are doing one other thing that actually makes Logic ill and that is how we are seemingly willing to accept less in our lives and how we justify it day in and day out almost as if we are lying to ourselves and that is our quality of life there seems to be a feeling of hopelessness and if a person makes say 50,000 to 100,000 dollars a year we are content to say that is good and if we can only afford a 32” inch flat panel LCD television instead of the 120” inch one that is fine.
We used to fight in our work to provide the best we could for our families and though today if you look at the children and how they tend to have everything they want for it came at the price of using credit, because credit is to easy but like the economic times we are in are a healthy adjustment that will have pain for most of us including those material items that our children had to have so we hope you feel that this way about the debt you (not Logic) are now all in because these debts will take until 2012 through 2014 depending on your net worth level to finalize in our opinion.
Please stand up work more, save more, provide more, educate yourself more, “Just do it Nike” says pay the price now to do better or pay for not doing better the rest of your life then when you are older (some of us sooner then later) you can sit around a bar when you can afford a drink or two and talk about what could have been, only if I had, done this or that so I honestly hope this message gets through to you because life can begin to be better for you starting today. It will take dedication and passion for you to previal and be all you can be.
Peanuts are not the problem
This is more then just losing your nuts because once again you are being told what you and your children are going to do, or you are going to get into big trouble. Reading a resent article about peanuts is making Logic nuts and here is why. All of the sudden you are prohibited to bring or be served peanuts in the schools of America this just after nuts are removed from all aircraft flights in America, we find this (and so does radio shock jock Adam Carolla here Radio Talk Show Adam Carolla agrees) amazing because if you look at underdeveloped nations (we call them what they are 3rd world nations) are feed peanut mixed protein to keep them alive with not a single reported allergic reaction to the nuts ever documented so why is it that a few and apparently a growing number of children have allergic reactions to peanuts so those who fly or go to an American school the use of nuts is illegal and it would not surprise Logic if you attempt to enter an aircraft or school you will meet the same fait as trying to bring a gun on board or into school.
Your Coffee then might be the next illegal scenario
Here is a stretch today that might not be too far off in the near future because caffeine drives your stimulus and more young children then ever drink the laboratory altered product produced by your favorite coffee corporations and this might make the youth go off on teachers and fellow students because the brain becomes over stimulated kind of like what chocolate does to a pre-teens brain when they eat to much chocolate.
There is one other concerning subject that makes coffee a candidate for government reform and that is the coffee grounds the waste from making coffee on a mass scale like corporations and individuals produce are just dropped into the trash bins that end up in our land fills is going to if it is not already making its way into our drinking water through the ground and we will in the not so far future be drinking caffeine whether you want to our not.
It is the best of times to speak up my fellow American’s
When this coffee thing comes up and becomes an inconvenience to us all you might be too late so join Logic in speaking up about where this nation is headed and think about my article and look into other freedoms we have already lost because Logic is sure there are other freedoms that we have already given up.
We would not have alcohol or guns if it were not for big money and their lobbyists in our opinion, so the time is now to begin speaking up for our remaining freedoms.
Logic loves America
There is a lot right with America our great country it was just really important to share how Logic feels about a couple of topics that are early warning signs to a country gaining a communist type of lifestyle or police state and important enough that I would step away from my work to share how I feel. Sorry if any (not really) of the bad words offend anyone but I promise you will get over it so give it a try sometime.
I am in no way saying to be rude or say hateful things, it is not in my nature, I am just writing this important article to let people know how I feel and share that when you stand up, speak the truth, you as well are going to feel a lot better about yourself.
