What Everybody Ought to Know About Domain Reselling Business

Providing for Domain Registrations Services can be an extremely profitable business if you make the right choices; in terms of your parent provider such as an established Registrar. Here's how reselling domain names works and tips on choosing a good provider:

*Reselling Domain Names - The Basics: *


Offering reseller programs, ICANN Accredited Registrars are your best bet for a successful reseller business. Accredited Registrars are capable of providing you with the lowest pricing; furthermore they offer advanced and professional support. Some Registrars take services one step ahead by providing white labeled as well as private labeled support, which basically means your customers will think you are providing this support and that you are the final parent provider. Now that's good service.

*ICANN Accredited Resellers*


Enom, Wild West Domains, Resellerclub, etc are some of the top ICANN Accredited Registrars that partner with resellers to broaden their market. Trusting a parent provider other than an ICANN Accredited Registrar or a Reseller under one can be extremely risky and in this high profit industry is not advised.

*Discounted Prices:*


Resellers partnered with ICANN Accredited Registrars are provided with extremely slashed prices which in turn maximizes profits. Look for a Registrar who provides good pricing so that you can compete with the veterans.

*Promotions:*


Another aspect to keep an eye on would be promotions that the registrar runs. More promotions equal’s higher discounts equals more profits equals happy customers equals good business. Constant promotions not only mean bringing in new customers but retaining existing ones.

A few pointers that I hope will help you with your business venture. Good luck!!

5 Ways a Blog Can Help Your Business

A lot of small business owners are jumping on the blogging bandwagon and there is a very good reason for this. A blog is a very effective tool for your small business, if used correctly. You're probably wondering if a blog can really help your business or if it is just another fad. There are several reasons business owners are blogging about their business. Blogging helps not only their bottom line, but also their customer relations. Below are the top 5 ways a blog can help your business:

1. Helps potential customers and the media find you- Search engines love blogs! If you post to your blog with search engines in mind, potential customers and the media will find you and your content rich information much easier. But be aware that just because you set up a blog and post a few times does not mean the search engines will find your blog right away. It does take a little bit of time to grow your business blog. Just keep posting content related to your expertise and the press, clients, and search engines will come.

2. Establishes your role as an expert in the field- A blog is a great tool to set yourself apart from the competition as establishing yourself as the expert in your industry. By sharing your opinions on industry news or topics your customers are interesting will automatically generate public speaking invitations and a general perception of your clients as "the expert". For consultants and coaches being viewed as "the expert" is essential. This allows you to raise your rates and never have to worry about where your next client will come from.

3. Creates a dialogue between you and your customers- A blog is different from a website, because it creates a dialogue between you and your blog visitor. As long as you allow comments on your blog, which I highly suggest you do, your blog sets up a unique dialogue between you and your customers. Wondering if your next product or service will be a success, just look to your blog for the answer. If you're already blogging, but haven't received comments yet try asking questions at the end of your blog posts to get the conversation going.

4. Another format to constantly reach your customers- With spam filtering and junk mail settings, sometimes your emails never make it to your customers. But with a blog and a RSS feed, a geeky term for how your blog is delivered, your customers can receive your blog content automatically. It's best to reach your customers in multiple formats whether it's mail, email, blogging, or public speaking. Blogging just adds another tool to your follow-up methods.

5. Free advertising- Who doesn't want free advertising for their small business? A blog is a great way to advertise your services and products without spending a dime. But be careful not to hit them over the head with a hard sales message. It's best to just give great content and mention a few of your services or products within the posts.

How to Index Your Blog Fast

It is quite common to hear people complaining about their blog not getting indexed or take too long time to get indexed by Google. At the same times, there are also people who claimed to get indexed within hours or days by Google.

So, why is it that some blog are able to get indexed fast, while the others can’t? The reason behind it is actually very simple: it depends on whether you take the necessary action to let Google know that your blog exist.

If all you did is create a blog, start posting on it and expect Google to find and crawl you, you will be disappointed. They won’t know it and even if they did stumble into your blog one day, it might be months or years later.

So, the important point to get your blog index is to let Google know your blog exist.

How?

The easiest method to do so is to put your blog link out there for Google and there are many ways to do so. You can start to comment on popular blog, forum or use social bookmarking site like Digg, Stumbleupon or Technorati to bookmark your blog content.

The logic behind this method is simple; Google like new contents and so, they frequently crawl these sites. When new content or articles appeared on these sites, most of the times, it gets indexed within minutes. So, when you make comments or bookmarking on these sites; and in the process, leaving your blog URL behind, you are actually leaving a trail for Google to find and reach your blog. When it come to these sites, it will eventually find your blog link and follow through to your blog. Hence, your blog will get indexed subsequently.

There are some people who think that making comments on blogs will not get indexed by Google. They feel that Google will not index your blog because nowadays, most of the blogs are nofollow, so your comment will have no impact at all. Actually, this is a wrong concept. What nofollow does is simply notify Google not to pass on page rank or link juice to the linked site, but, it won’t stop the search engine from following through the link to your blog.

Of course, besides this method, there are many other ways that can help your blog to get indexed by Google fast, but, this is by far the most effective way that I have come across. Using this method, all my other sites get indexed within a week, the faster being a day and the longest takes about 5 days.

Try this method out to see if it is effective for your blog.

Getting Free Website Content From the Internet

Aside from the design, the other thing that can attract the interest of possible clients to your site is the website content. If you started setting up your website with the design and the lay-out and you are still waiting to get some and high quality content that is fresh and interesting as well as original, then there are ways to get it in the shortest time possible.

Although, you can write the content of your site yourself, you must remember that coming up with great articles that people would actually read requires the necessary skills. You would have to be a good writer to carry it off. Another thing about writing your own content is the length of time it will take to do it. Because of this, instead of being able to open your website to incoming traffic the soonest time possible, you would have to wait for the content to come in. This would result in your possibly losing a number of clients that you would have gained had you started your website sooner.

You can also have professional web content writers to provide these articles for your website. With them, you are assured of getting the fresh content that you need, which are sure to catch the eye of would-be clients. However, if you are running a small to medium enterprise that can't afford the cost of hiring these writers, then you are better off looking for another source of articles for your web content. This is where free web content comes in.

Article Directories

These free articles are other people's work that has been on the Internet for a period of time and has been found to generate traffic to the websites of others. There are many online sites from which this types of free content is available, the most frequently used being the Article Directories.

A Google search is the easiest way to find an article directory, and once there you will have a number of directories to choose from. They tend to have their own search box so that you can seek articles pertaining to your specific niche. Most directories are certain to have articles that you are able to use as good content, although you will have to retain the 'author's resource' area, in which the author gets credit for the article and is permitted to advertise the URL of his or her website. However, this is a small price to pay for high quality articles.

It could be a disadvantage to you if the writer is a competitor, so you should first check out the website to make sure that it does not compete with you. there is also the possibility of the reader clicking away from your website, but that is one of the negatives that have to bear for using these free articles on your website. You will find, however, that most readers will stay on your page.

Public Domain Works

Another way to get content for your website is by looking for articles that have no copyright. Termed as works under public domain, these articles may have expired copyrights or have been released by its authors into the domain of the public. This means that you can basically use these articles for your website content for free, without having to state their original authors. However, you have to take note that this type of free content is not that easy to find. There is another place where you can get these public domain articles though and that is through the RSS Feed.

An acronym for Really Simple Syndication, a RSS Feed is actually just a piece of content that can be fed right to your own website. This means that you can place any RSS Feed for free into your own website and this will have content from another site. While this feed is automatically linked back to its host website, you are guaranteed of always having fresh website content that is just so easy to place on your own. All you have to do is put the code made available by the host into your own site and you will already have the kind of content that you want for your site.

While these are the basic ways for you to be able to gain content for your website, there are also other ways for you to do it. These include using the product information of the items that you may be offering that has already been provided by its manufacturers or contacting the author of an article that you are particularly interested in. With the latter, you would have to tell the author that you like his writing and would like to give him a free link to his website in exchange for his content. While you can generate money for the manufacturers by selling their product, it best to get their permission first before you go ahead and use the written information about their products as your own website content.
