Rick Latona has developed the most generic domains than anybody that I know of by far within the domain industry. Rick has developed "mini sites" for thousands of his own domains and for other people as well via his mini site development service AEIOU.com --- his clients include Rick Schwartz and Domain Capital. Some of Rick's best developed domains include daytraders.com which ranks quiet well with the search engines... Rick has top 10 positions on Google for terms such as: day traders, day trading stock online, daytraders, day traders, day trading online, stock trader, daytrading, day trader and hundreds more of this very targeted and valuable keywords that pull in quiet a bit of traffic.
Rick also has some pretty good rankings over at Yahoo as well. The reason this one domain ranks so well though isn't because of how the domain is setup right now, or because of something special that Rick Latona did with it recently. The domain ranks well because it was a a properly setup, aged and established website or "business" for many years running even before Rick Latona acquired it earlier this year. While other domains that Rick has developed such as germany.com have failed to gain any decent rankings with the search engines for relevant keywords.
But why? Well... The type of search engine optimization techniques used are very basic and not really effective when dealing with competitive terms and generic one or two word domains. That is the bottom line. Some examples include of the domains developed by Rick Latona and aeiou.com below:
taxaccountants.com |
birthdayparty.com |
janitors.com |
familytraveldeals.com |
exoticwine.com |
antiqueautoshows.com |
smartinvestors.com |
financialbrokers.com |
hardwarestores.com |
homemade.com |
countryclubs.com |
telemarketingstaff.com |
Rick Latona's mini site development service does a pretty good job at developing "mini sites" by building a unique website with custom and relevant information but we have to be realistic with hopes and expectations from this types of services. With such a setup that consists of a very limited amount of content and the most basic SEO the results will be very limited if any. Success rates at pulling in natural and organic search engine traffic will be quiet low. There will be way more misses than hits no matter what anybody else tells you.
It is the right step forward for any domain professional who is looking to get his domain name re-established with the search engines and doesn't want to spend thousands of dollars on website development for a single domain. Having your own website developed even if it is a "mini site" means more control over the traffic and better monetization opportunities. Many are breaking free from parking and pushing forward with development and Rick Latona is one of those people with endless amounts of energy that is taking bold moves and helping the industry move in the right direction.
I applaud Rick Latona and his efforts and hope that he continues to improve his services because the internet landscape is constantly evolving and almost daily... It is a must. You really gotta keep up with the times because what might of worked last month isn't going to work the next month. That is always a possibility and in fact a reality that may hit you when you least expect it.
So to summarize, if your domain already receives type in traffic then this type of setup and domain development Rick Latona's aeiou.com provide may prove to be effective and help boost up earnings. If however your domain does not receive any natural type in traffic then chances are slim to none that this type of setup will actually help you with generating any traffic or earnings.
The proper development of successful websites requires a lot of work. Putting a website together is just a small part of the process. Just as in real life, offline, it takes month's to get a business first organized and established... Same online. There isn't really a way to pop up one day with a website online and shoot straight up to the top of the search engine rankings for any decent keywords that users are in fact searching for that you could make money of.
If anybody think that this review is too critical or that I am slamming Rick Latona for a reason... Well, you have the data and results and I said what needed to be said. This is my personal thoughts and reviews and take on things as I see them. Take whatever you want from it. I wouldn't go as far as to recommend this type of service to people because it really has it's flaws but it does have it's place on the web and is needed. I remain "neutral" on the case and once again wish Rick Latona all the best with his own personal domain development projects and aeiou.com services as well.
