Hmm..... Not too many good or bad things I can say about the fella, he is quite a character as we all know, liked by some, hated by some, but take it from me when I say; the man cannot be taken seriously. Not one bit actually. Owen's "Frager Factor" daily publication is the DomainGang.com v1.0 full of drama and various other speculative and absolute utter bullshit. http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/owen-frager-factor/ B578BF30-BC17-49EE-BB7F-ACAD69AB1154 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 13:01:00 -0400 DomainMassDevelopment.com 5 day blowout ends tomorrow... 50% off for new clients only!!

This special offer is only valid to all of the loyal readers of WannaDevelop.com and visitors of Domaining.com through March 31, 2010. http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/domain-development-deals/ 46173326-EA47-4ABA-9863-38CF454F7090 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 13:33:00 -0400 All of the affiliate store websites below are setup on aged com/net/org keyword domains and the product catalog is powered by Amazon... 100% on auto-pilot.

So basically over the past few month's we have been rolling out some pretty cool new products (e-shops, minisites and megasites) as well as recruiting and training a lot of new talent as we are growing the entire operation. It's been very busy around here and there is always something going on behind the scenes as we launch 100s of sites week in and week out. It's fun but the work never ever stops. http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/domain-mass-development-services/ F402DC1C-B6DB-4639-A46C-8D2D888FCD6B Thu, 18 Feb 2010 15:10:00 -0500 From February 8, to February 12, 2010 (this coming week) I am going to be running over 100 exact match keyword domains at auction exclusively at Bido.com. Many of the domains have high exact match keyword search popularity counts in the tens of thousands and CPC $10 - $20+. Many are priced 1/10th below market value if not more... Many will be sold much less than what I paid for them originally because I am liquidating and will try to find them a new home. We'll even help you develop them if need be... Just ask :) http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/bido-domain-auctions/ B18212EA-3A42-4420-86DC-03006AA80030 Sat, 6 Feb 2010 17:13:00 -0500 So, here I am trying to organize and lead a Rick Schwartz and Sahar Sarid like effort to acquire not a domain name, but get this.. A domain forum! I am sure you remember the joint-venture which those guys setup in a matter of days to acquire Cowboys.com... Anyways, lets talk about the DomainState.com auction that is going to be happening later this week. It's important we do this... :) http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/domain-state-forum-sale/ E3CE1851-439C-46D4-AE49-3DAD2856B34A Mon, 11 Jan 2010 00:05:00 -0500 The one tool that probably had the most impact and is responsible for billions of dollars in being exchanged over the years is without a doubt the Overture inventory lookup + mass whois, and if it wasn't for those two very basic and free tools... Frank Schilling, Kevin Ham, Domain Active, Most Wanted Domains, Oversee and all of the rest of the most successful domain investors that have made a fortune thanks to acquiring tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of domains would not be where they are today. Nope... http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/keyword-domains-autosuggestion/ 48ED71EA-D387-4EAE-B5E7-9DC6CE5F1B08 Thu, 7 Jan 2010 16:29:00 -0500 Domain mass development is all about providing the most affordable and reliable solutions for domain owners who want to increase values of their domains and generate traffic, sales, etc. Our newest and now the most popular service offering which we publicly introduced just a few weeks ago has closed over 6 figures in sales in under a month (record) and orders are coming in day after day after day... Am I really surprised? Not at all. The service that is being offered here is truly one of a kind and you cannot compare it to anything else that is out there on the market right now. It is very special... http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/affiliate-marketing-eshops/ B41EA00C-D0F5-4A68-99D4-176FE1FF3BAC Fri, 18 Dec 2009 17:17:00 -0500 So why should you sign-up for the free newsletter over at DomainStryker.com right now?! Well, if you are interested in pre-registering for the Domain Stryker service and want to find out how you can save at least 50% on your monthly membership fees, that is one good reason :) Another one is that we'll award over $10,000 worth of free monthly and even yearly memberships to a few lucky winners who will be picked out at random. http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/expired-domain-auctions/ D9D58123-EB52-4128-A03A-DBC0947D94FB Tue, 1 Dec 2009 17:30:00 -0500 Without dropping any names, I've noticed some newer services popping up as of late that offer an affiliate based e-commerce type of setup for your domains which is great and all but you have to pay a few hundred bucks to get started plus split earnings two ways 50/50... Man, screw that! Talk about pretty much getting robbed here... Ouch! At DomainMassDevelopment.com we offer the most advanced affiliate e-shops setup and for the most affordable prices around with a 100% satisfaction guarantee or all of your money back with no questions asked. http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/wordpress-affiliate-eshops/ AA898CDE-3879-4366-9C3A-4A528E65E0F9 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 18:16:00 -0500 Imagine having the ability to quickly and easily mass develop an unlimited amount of e-shops as standalone businesses on your domain names. Imagine having access to a universal datafeed and a system that currently has 113,108,447 products and always growing, aggregated from 18 of the leading affiliate networks in the world which includes close to 6,000 merchants. Yes, we are talking about Commission Junction, LinkShare, Google Affiliate Network, Pepperjam Network, ShareASale, ClickBank, Affiliate Window and so on. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/ecommerce-shops/ FE9CC612-6ED4-4D48-86AC-F11B313E9EF4 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:10:00 -0500 All of the websites are coming along nicely and I have a feeling that many more will be getting rolled out by the thousands soon! Have a look at examples such as ErectileDysfunction.com GastricBypassSurgery.com BuyStock.com CheapLifeInsurance.com FreeOnlineDegrees.com AffordableCarInsurance.com and so on. This is a huge step and in the right direction of course as far as web development goes by Frank Schilling of Name Administration Inc. http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/frank-schilling-wordpress-development/ 7A750C8F-FD26-45F1-AB29-2CBEEF20711A Mon, 2 Nov 2009 13:52:00 -0500 Yep... The world is a better place without it. Now, as I am sure you already knew, I have been one of the most vocal critics of Rick's services over the past year. I have also been one of the biggest fans because I admire anybody who is involved with development one way or another. So, I am going to be brutally honest here and just tell it like it is and then we can all just move on and get back to business. Transparency is good. It is something new in the domain business and people do seem to like it... What a big surprise! http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/domain-development-minisites/ 5403E62B-700B-42A9-9CB1-F896939CA36C Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:00:00 -0400 It's official, Domain Stryker is out of BETA... We're done testing the back-end system and have put the final touches on the user interface so go ahead and browse through the exclusive lists. We have NameJet and SnapNames data available as of right now and we'll be rolling out GoDaddy's domains as well real soon. Everybody is guaranteed to find at least a few dozen domains each and every day to their liking... If you can't, then you are a crappy investor ;) http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/domain-stryker/ 891B2293-C781-4393-AB16-356814F44C08 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 19:00:00 -0400 It's possible, alright... So lets take a look and compare our very own domain mass development services VS. all of the other players out there including minisites.com, aeiou.com, netrico.com, traffickerz.com, domainsuperstar.com and estibot.com. These companies offer "minisite" development services to domainers but are you really getting the best deal possible for your money? http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/domain-mass-development-services/ AC4E2E93-37CC-44F0-B52B-4EE11EBF5A1C Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:34:00 -0400 The highly anticipated unveiling and launch of DirectI's newest business, DomainAdvertising.com will be happening at the Targeted Traffic conference in NYC in just a couple of weeks... This brand new "advertiser aligned domain monetization program for publishers" looks very cool and definitely something you should get excited about. The service offering here is quite unique and very promising.. Advertisers will have the options of directly buying domain traffic, leasing domains, advanced audience targeting and competitive elimination, etc. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/domain-advertising/ 6080F63C-7DBF-4600-BB6E-F70C37DF8D75 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:27:00 -0400 Soon to come right here at WannaDevelop.com, a tell-all and step by step comprehensive guide / ebook packaged type of publication explaining how to score lots of sales for the big bucks. Day in and day out! I really do need to put this information out there because most of the people in the game right now have their heads so far up their ass that if they keep things the way they are going, the consequences will be... Umm..... They will be disastrous. Enough said. Somebody has to show em the light. I will do it for FREE! Why not? :) http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/art-of-domain-sales/ 26917644-CF05-4CAD-8EF2-551A62E6729F Fri, 9 Oct 2009 19:17:00 -0400 DomainStryker.com is a 2 click domain investment platform where daily lists of expiring and auctioned off domains are analyzed and then made available for free for investing purposes by domainers and anybody else who collects premium and keyword rich domains. The website is currently in public beta testing. Please note that we only have about 25% of the system's data and features made available at this time to the general public. Slowly but surely we plan to roll out more lists and tools. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/domain-stryker/ C1613CD6-BF4E-426E-97FB-59045B72FCE1 Mon, 5 Oct 2009 00:36:00 -0400 This is probably one of the top five questions which I get asked most often by clients! So is a full blown CMS such as WordPress, Joomla or Drupal better for your website as far as SEO and monetization goes VS. the typical static html based setup that has been around forever now??!? Well, both of the setup's have positives and negatives to them, but it really has to be determined on a case by case basis... Both of them serve their purpose and do so really well. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/static-vs-cms-sites/ B8D48B9C-6901-4A1D-BF6A-D13134BA994E Sat, 26 Sep 2009 17:29:00 -0400 Back in January, I wrote up a comprehensive article titled "The Art of Domain Sales..." and here we are almost 9 month's later with a much needed follow up. I would like to share a few more exclusive tips and tricks about how to close $$$$ deals with end-users, quickly and easily. Now, we've been selling tens of thousands of dollars worth of domains each and every month, even in this "tough economic times" because we use proven methods and have systems and processes that get results almost 9 times out of 10. If you follow some of my advice below and stick to the guidelines, you will too... Guaranteed. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/domain-sales/ 87A29322-091C-4901-BD57-62AFEAF5B591 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 16:04:00 -0400 We keep it rocking by introducing two new options for domain owners interested in developing :) As of right now, DomainMassDevelopment.com is the first and only domain development company to offer trade ins of keyword domains in exchange for domain development credits. Look, we know the domain business inside and out so we are able to provide accurate valuations and an in-demand service in return for a fair exchange by creating a win-win situation for both parties involved... So what are you waiting for? Lets go!! ;) http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/domain-development-options/ E14050C3-86B9-408E-B722-75162D6327CE Tue, 15 Sep 2009 18:10:00 -0400 Are you still paying hundreds of dollars per mini site!? PLEASE STOP IT!!! I am announcing a huge promotion and blowout on all "mini site" development services for new clients of DomainMassDevelopment.com! Join the hundreds of already satisfied clients and save thousands of dollars too! Do not wait too long though because this is a limited time offer that expires on September 20, 2009. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/mini-sites-development/ FBFF5572-62B0-4425-9CAC-4976B4EC7485 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 14:51:00 -0400 Oversee.net is without a doubt the largest and most successful company involved in the domain space since the early days. Most recently, 2007 and 2008 were amazing years for the company as they rolled in a whopping $417.5 million in revenues, increased their staff to something like 250 deep and made some very important strategic acquisitions in order to diversify their operations + revenue streams and continue business expansion, on their quest for complete market domination in the multi-billion dollar domain industry. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/oversee-domain-monetization/ 0F0CF601-ED57-4750-8CD8-A27F98E05D8D Wed, 9 Sep 2009 13:35:00 -0400 We worked really hard to put together something special and unique for this two category killer domains. The Land Surveyors website is setup as an in-depth resource and exclusive guide for everything about Land Surveying. Surveyors.com will be the premier directory for all of the different kinds of professional surveyors out there, which there is over 150,000 in the USA alone and many more throughout the rest of the world. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/web-development-investments/ D5AAECF2-34DB-4DFB-8046-A56E194B3E1E Mon, 7 Sep 2009 02:06:00 -0400 Toys R Us has snapped up yet another former competitor at bankruptcy auction it was announced just the other day... Must feel good. 2009 has been a big year for the New Jersey based company as they have successfully acquired eToys.com + Toys.com in two heated auctions, FAO.com (FAO Schwartz) for an undisclosed sum and now KBToys.com as well to add to their portfolio. http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/toys-domains/ D73B41DB-9761-49C3-BEB3-BEBDB21B8692 Sat, 5 Sep 2009 11:14:00 -0400 Thousands upon thousands of sites in hundreds of different channels and with a global presence all over the world... Beyond.com is the undisputed leader and #1 company when it comes to domain mass development in the job search niche. The network has been ranked as one of the best in the world by Forbes and PC Magazine and it is one of the fastest growing privately held companies in the USA with 6000% revenue growth over five years as recognized by Inc. and Deloitte in recent years... This Pennsylvania based company truly rocks! http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/thousands-of-websites/ 98FBC0E0-11FE-4FA4-B3C5-BC2E15676FD1 Fri, 4 Sep 2009 17:29:04 -0400 Summer is over.. School's back in session... The girlfriend is getting her edumacation on while I am stuck here, doing what I do. So guess what guys, I am going to have a little more free time to update the site than I did the past few month's... You know what that means right? Yup... Get prepared to have your ass kicked all over the place!! With no exception, each and every one. I am coming for you. Yes all of you... Nobody is safe.

Clark Scott founded the company with one other partner and pretty much ran all of the company's operations from his Indiana home during the start-up stage. Scott built all of the website's himself with a little help from freelancers. The two partners invested about $10,000 total to get things going with this vision back in 1999. Over the years, HelloMetro has inked partnerships with SuperPages.com, ForRent.com, Yahoo.com, Vonage.com, Dollar Rent A Car, Thrifty Car Rental and many other direct advertisers for all the big bucks. http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/domain-mass-development-millionaires/ 10558852-9EEE-431D-B133-A6D011AC8410 Wed, 2 Sep 2009 01:42:00 -0400 What do you do.. Hmm? Adsense... Casino... Stocks.. Pharma... Why not do it all?!! Pure genius right!? That is what Men.com does, man! The domain that was sold for $1.3 million by Rick Schwartz is a total failure today and a great case study. Look at it... Complete disaster, and we are being nice here and watching our words. God, I hate nothing more than to see good keyword domains first developed and then turned into linkfarms... Why why why??! http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/domain-development-failure/ 693FF7D8-DAF4-4BCC-BB79-5802CECAECDB Mon, 24 Aug 2009 02:15:00 -0400 Slowly but surely Frank Schilling of Name Administration Inc is chipping away. Once a self-proclaimed "pure play domainer" he now turns to web development as an alternative solution to domain parking in order to acquire more traffic, direct advertisers and increase revenues exponentially across his multi-million dollar properties. http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/frank-schilling-domain-development/ EAAEB1CB-B318-4D72-80C0-B02C7267BC23 Sat, 22 Aug 2009 17:46:00 -0400 Hey YOU! Got premium domains worthy of development?! Great. We should be partners... I am here to announce an industry first: domain development partnerships. Quick to enter. Easy to understand. Big $$$$ opportunities!! It shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to sort everything out, agree on the basic terms and then get down to it.. Really!!! I have a short list of criteria which your domains must meet and that is about it. Ready? Lets go! http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/domain-development-partners/ B584642E-E789-4A96-8D5C-042E3D378254 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 15:06:00 -0400 The .net extension is naturally the second best and most popular choice if dot com is unavailable. No arguing that and the numbers speak for themselves. All other gTLD domains suck... Big time. They are all worthless and I wouldn't even know what to do with "premium" keyword domains that end in .mobi .travel .info .biz .tel and so on. I would not even want to spend a dime on the registration, not to mention development and marketing efforts... Really. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/investing-domain-names/ 77372FFD-8012-43DC-9F8C-9B265BCE44CF Thu, 13 Aug 2009 16:16:00 -0400 Investing in domains is fun and exciting... Not to mention very profitable. It's the opportunity of our lifetime... Even in 2009! Of course you can't just pop up outta nowhere and attempt to put together a killer portfolio of domains in a few days or weeks. Nope. It is not a smart move and if you want to make the most of your $ you need to invest over time only when you see good opportunities where it actually makes sense. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/domain-investment/ F7520ADF-B984-4EDD-A74D-05737B7C6CF1 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 15:23:00 -0400 There is plenty of great domain investments available at SnapNames.com daily as low as $59!! It ain't easy finding them because they are well hidden.. If it was simple... Everybody would already be millionaires and retired, sitting on the beach somewhere and pretty much doing nothing but buying domains and then reselling / devloping them. You gotta have your own strategy to truly succeed in this biz. You can't just follow and copy what others are doing. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/expired-domain-name-auctions/ 823FE7D7-78BE-4AB3-811D-30A851BDB7A0 Sun, 9 Aug 2009 19:37:00 -0400 One of the domain industry's most important people has a frequently updated blog but apparently nobody gives a crap, or wait... Does anybody even know it exists??! Nope... The founder, president and chief operating officer of NameMedia.com has been blogging for close to 12 month's now almost daily but there is nobody even taking notice. No comments... No references. No nothing! Who is to blame though??! Doesn't really matter. We'll try to solve that right here and right now.. For good! http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/jeff-bennett-namemedia/ 4177E56C-DF02-438C-9A8C-835C51C92F64 Sat, 8 Aug 2009 02:14:00 -0400 There is lots of good 1, 2 and 3 keyword domains available at SnapNames each and every day.. It is hard making up your mind what domains to purchase and which ones to pass. Unless you got a six figure monthly budget to spend on domain acquisitions, of course you aren't going to be able to buy em all. So what do you do??! Well.. You play the drops consistently day in and day out and you will get lots of bargains... Just gotta have this thing called a "plan" :) http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/snapnames-domains/ 921A7553-395D-49C4-88EA-A3C368753C52 Fri, 7 Aug 2009 00:42:00 -0400 There is not enough hours in the day when you are a domainer and you got your shit straight. There is opportunities everywhere. So much to do.. So little time... Ahhh!! I try and focus only on a handful of niches that I am already familiar with where I have already had some success when acquiring new domain names for development. Some of those niches I have been involved with for many years so I can tell right away if the domain is worth anything. I don't remember last time I lost money on a domain purchase. http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/snapnames-expired-domain-auctions/ CE87BD34-30D2-4307-AE94-230C1F60B45C Wed, 5 Aug 2009 02:28:00 -0400 If you are like me and you are looking to buy good keyword domains in com/net/org under $100 then SnapNames.com is the place to be. Every day there is a few hundred good domains auctioned off there exclusively that are worth at least some $$$ on the reseller / domainer market. Most of the domains are expired.. Some are listed by private sellers too, but there is plenty of bargains to be had if you take some time to analyze all of the data. http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/snapnames-domain-auctions/ 575127FC-9793-434F-BE90-66954026A65A Mon, 3 Aug 2009 13:41:00 -0400 Domain development couldn't be simpler if people only followed some of the guidelines! There really isn't anything involved in the process that is hard to do when it comes down to execution. It couldn't be easier in 2009. There is tons of resources to guide you step by step and the tools available are so straightforward that even 12 year old's are doing it and making more $$$ than you.. How embarrassing is that? No... I am not joking either! You suck heh :( http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/search-engine-optimization/ 3B4304CB-4EF3-4251-B267-6B59060FBEC0 Sun, 2 Aug 2009 20:18:00 -0400 This is a follow up on NameMedia.com / BuyDomains.com who own close to 1 million domains. About 3 month's ago I reported that they mass developed 20,000 of them in a short period of time. Well, they have been really busy goin at it. They now have launched over 110,000 interactive websites in just about every category that you can only imagine. Still the same setup however, done in the extremely popular blog style which works well overall. It's really impressive stuff. Being able to pull this off at this scale ain't easy! http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/namemedia-buydomains/ 2EEA6E2E-B80F-4CA6-96EC-28997E78ED97 Fri, 31 Jul 2009 04:16:00 -0400 There is something like 3 to 4 million domains expiring each and every month as of late... Huge databases of goldmines!! It definitely ain't easy going through them all day in and day out but if you know what to look for you can get so many bargains these days... Wow!!! Watch out :) That is all I gotta say. Now, forget all the longshots which are .biz .us .info .mobi and all the other crap that expires daily.. Those domains don't get renewed for a reason. Focus on .com + .net + .org domains. That is where the real money is. They are proven winners. http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/expired-domains/ A5DD9908-0C82-4426-AC60-B3046FF93985 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 03:04:00 -0400 I been playing the domain drop game for a little over six years now. A lot of people nowadays complain that things just aren't what they used to be and that is true, but there is still lots of bargains available each and every day and of course and always will be --- if only you know where to look and what to look out for. Scanning 100,000+ domains daily is unrealistic. Duhhhh!! Now, not to brag or anything but I've made well into seven figures in net profit since 2003 buying expired domains and then reselling them or developing them down the road. Maybe another few hundred other individuals at most have accomplished the same as well over the years. http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/expired-domain-names/ A199F0E6-B868-400C-948C-28BDE2771B24 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 03:06:00 -0400 Man, I tell ya.. Everybody is a domain development pro all of the sudden it seems. The domain development boom is in full effect in 2009!! Domainers are slowly but surely building out their domains, however they can, which is great but I have one issue with all of this.. Something that is pretty damn annoying. I mean, it's nice that you got a website and I am sure you are very proud of your works but showcasing every "minisite" you develop is pretty ridiculous. http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/newbie-website-development/ A1B3017E-21C1-457B-A6F6-DEA50E7BF213 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 17:58:00 -0400 There is .com domains and then there is everything else... All the other gTLD and ccTLD domains are just 2nd class. Nothing really compares to dot com domains because they get results, each and every time. It is the #1 extension in the world for a reason --- always has and always will be. There has been tens of billions of dollars spent on marketing dot com domains in all forms. There has been tons of money spent on dot com domains both online and offline, essentially making it a household type of thing! This is what makes them so damn sexy. Everybody understands them and likes em too. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/dot-com-domains/ F5FDBD2C-6B6D-4301-9714-6A956DEF5B1A Wed, 15 Jul 2009 18:33:00 -0400 Ok, it's really so nice of you to let everybody else collect the big bucks.. So very generous of you to choose not to take part in affiliate marketing. Thank you.. Thank you sooo much!! We appreciate it. Yup! You get the PPC (pennies per click) via AdSense or whatever and I get 10x - 100x what you get thanks to all your hard work. It's fine with me... Works for me GREAT. Man, I love you. I really do. You are my best friend. You know that? You should... Heheh. http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/affiliate-marketing/ F3F3A853-F943-439A-B26A-A956E6AEBC84 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 05:26:00 -0400 That is right folks. Kevin Ham and Frank Schilling domain holdings are up for sale.. Thousands upon thousands of their domains are now available for purchase. Make your offer and you may just become the new owner of that great dot com keyword domain. Woohoo! Frank Schilling's domains are being offered exclusively through ProFormaInc.com and Kevin Ham's through DomainBrokers.com --- now as I wrote here just recently about the domain industry... There is lots of changes going on. 2009 is a very different year!! http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/frank-schilling-kevin-ham/ EF670026-AFB3-4B71-9350-977C81A16E90 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 19:52:00 -0400 May was a crazy busy month with all of the new updates and services that we rolled out.

You get 10 free domains mass developed on your first order of 10 minimum. No tricks. No gimmicks. With this limited time promo, you will be getting 20 domains developed but you only pay for 10. Unbeatable deal. Only available at DomainMassDevelopment.com --- so head on over there before it is too late. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/exclusive-domain-mass-development/ E48F7777-59AB-4E98-AE53-5479EC15D639 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 22:49:00 -0400 Domain mass development is all about creating opportunities. Lots of them. There is nothing really too fancy schmancy about it and for the most part it is really done "lottery style" which should be obvious, if you didn't already know. The more web sites you launch, the more odds are in your favor in getting a lot more winners. With regular development, it is always either hit or miss and most people already know this from previous experiences, developing sites one by one... We have all tried and failed most of the times. Yes... Even I have ;) http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/domain-mass-development/ 32D21F37-FF17-47B0-9036-E6EEB29E6A68 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 00:06:00 -0400 Well boys and girls.. It has happened again. Another competitor has ripped off my creatives / content. It's funny to see this happened because the domain development niche is tiny. There isn't that many developers out there to begin with. I can count them all on my fingers. Hell, I would only need my right hand because there isn't even five real domain mass development operations out there. Dumb move by Michael Sumner or whoever is responsible over there. http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/minisites-domain-development/ 290CC67B-9E83-4058-9EE1-7BD83C82AEB6 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 18:33:00 -0400 Domain mass development is the biggest thing to happen in 2009... Totally blown up. But guess what??! It is nothing new. All of the most successful self-made internet millionaires have been going at it for a long time now. But no worries.. There is plenty of opportunities to go around for everyone. If you have the good keyword domains, domain mass development is right for you! Got a few hundred bucks?! That is all you really need. Simple as that :) http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/domain-development/ BE1376A8-5196-4C2A-B0F2-5B0BCA653F99 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 03:34:00 -0400 The domain industry has been changing, big time. A lot of smart people have taken notice of what is going on and making their moves. Unfortunately, a lot of people are still "thinking" things over. What does that mean? I'll tell you. That means they are stuck. They don't know what to do. They are paralyzed and stuck in their old ways. The game has been changing for a while now. Since 2005. Forget the golden days. 2006, 2007 and 2008 were CRAZY good years where all the hard work paid off from as early as the mid 90's. There was a domaining BOOM.. Now there is all the doom and gloom in 2009 and on. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/domain-industry/ 76CABCC6-8A19-4964-93E4-FCD0EED2933E Wed, 17 Jun 2009 01:18:00 -0400 It all started with just a few domains and then grew into something much bigger than that. Here we are well into 2009 and those guys now have 600 prime websites and matching toll-free vanity lines in 27 consumer channels. Sounds good right? Of course.. They have all been mass developed and the same backend is used across the entire network. They were able to cut back on a lot of the costs and get the most bang for their buck. Very very smart. The guys had a great business strategy and executed it pretty well over the years. Only one thing though... http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/domain-name-selection/ 91D3A133-7F2D-4371-AAF4-4850D706A14E Mon, 15 Jun 2009 02:26:00 -0400 Yes, that is right... Some scandalous shocking news, reviews and controversy is very very good for business. Some of the most popular posts that I've published here that have received the most traffic and continue to receive the most traffic and drive the most sales consistently after many month's of getting published are some pretty "controversial topics" such as the billion dollar domain typos empire and exclusive insights and "revelations" of those domainer seo millionaires and so on. You get what I am saying. There is good press which is nice, where people are all "positive" and then there is bad press... But who cares? It's still press. http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/scandals-controversy-business/ 8ADEFB14-A42C-433E-B894-C892F9618CA0 Sat, 13 Jun 2009 17:55:00 -0400 Frank Schilling is one of the hardest working people in the Domain Industry. As I've reported here previously over the 6 - 7 month's, he has been making a lot of changes to hundreds of thousands of his domains in trying to squeeze out better conversion rates by experimenting with content, more click through's by providing thumbnails next to the PPC ads and so on. Here we are once again and I have more changes to report in regards to the domain parking monetization setup that is deployed across all of his domain names. http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/domain-parking/ D48032EC-7055-4AED-AFB0-7131FDA839E8 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 16:31:00 -0400 You want to have a killer website developed with all the bells and whistles but you have a small start-up budget, less than a thousand bucks lets say... So, what do you do?! Heh... It's cool, no worries. It is not so hard coming up with a nice and functional website that will get the job done. It will generate some traffic and even earn money. That's right! It can be done easily. You will need four things in order to be in it to win it: a good keyword domain, secure and reliable web hosting, decent website design / layout and an easy to use content management system or script to provide a certain service and / or product. http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/full-blown-development/ D95EFA2F-2282-4887-A81A-B72D52785A2B Mon, 8 Jun 2009 16:18:00 -0400 At DomainContest.com --- the biggest domain industry contest is just around the corner set to launch real soon. I've been busy organizing everything and sorting stuff out with it for the past few weeks with a couple of colleagues. It's going to be pretty unique and like nothing else that has been done before, at least in the domain space. I'm excited about it and you too should be as well. The whole idea is to promote and unite the industry through the social networking channel. Videos are the "it" thing this days and when the message is delivered in an interactive format, it is much better received. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/domain-contest-videomania/ F10E4189-3F35-4CD8-9EED-49BF87C9AD64 Sun, 7 Jun 2009 01:12:00 -0400 Pretty much everybody just wants to have a good time and bullshit around as much as possible. There isn't all that many hard working, determined and dedicated individuals who are out to change the world and make a difference today.. Just admit it!! It's OK... Everybody just worries about themselves for the most part and the ones in their inner circle, which is fine. To each his own. It's mostly all about the "be your own boss" online biz thing this days it seems. There isn't so much this thing we all used to refer to as the "American Dream" anymore... You don't hear it all that much if ever!! Yup... So 2000. So so DEAD. It's all about the "Internet Dream" in 2009 and beyond, you know.. The opportunities are endless here. It's all fair game for the most part too. http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/just-wanna-have-fun/ 8CFD91BD-2DE2-468D-B829-64A77738DA31 Fri, 5 Jun 2009 14:53:00 -0400 Imagine having one of the best and if not the best search engine optimization experts in the world available to answer all of your internet marketing and web development questions daily for only $100 per month!! No no, I am not him... I charge $1000 per hour for consulting work. But there is one guy, who is one of the most knowledgeable internet marketers and a true pioneer in the SEO field who will help you succeed with your websites for only $100 per month. That is right. No tricks or gimmicks. Only $100 per month. An amazing deal.. Really! http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/aaron-wall-seo-services-training/ 2FE102EA-DC74-4053-8AEB-19241C87EBC0 Thu, 4 Jun 2009 03:39:00 -0400 The WannaDevelop.com website slogan or whatever you wanna call it is... "All about keyword domains, website networks and targeted traffic" so yea, I'd like to discuss in detail the power of keyword domains. A lot of people still don't get it unfortunately, especially the outsiders... It's crazy! I've talked about it before previously in various articles that have been published, but right now I'd like to specifically dedicate this article to keyword domains and talk about some of the advantages that you will enjoy once you have a targeted keyword domain name, preferably a dot com, for your online website / business. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/exact-match-keyword-domains/ 88DDDA42-B3A6-4A64-9303-9B60EDDC8E55 Wed, 3 Jun 2009 00:04:00 -0400 Am I crazy?! Seriously! The deal that is being offered is a once in a lifetime opportunity and you won't see it ever again after 5/31/2009. Hell, you won't find it at the regular prices either anywhere else because we create the most value and provide the most bang for your buck by far. Let me tell you this straight up... If you don't order at least 1 plan while this promotion is going on --- you are completely out of your mind. Don't think too much.. Just do it!! We've launched the brand new DomainMassDevelopment.com website earlier this week and I am very excited about it. I am ready to win over your biz and do whatever it takes... http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/exclusive-domain-development/ ED423EEB-1FE4-45A6-81BD-850A423FAA28 Fri, 29 May 2009 00:05:00 -0400 My personal favorites and the ones that I always recommend to clients are the following, in no particular order: Aggressive PPC monetization, lead captures and affiliate content integration / co-brands. I've been using each and every one of those monetization methods for many years now and they each have many positives as well as some negatives too! The great thing about development though is that you have plenty of options to choose from. A ton of options!! The opportunities are virtually endless. If one thing doesn't work, you can easily go with something else. The monetization of the entire operation is always the easy part too. Only takes a few minutes to sort out... http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/domain-mass-development/ 33197E96-AF00-48F7-B42D-2C1C313B50E5 Thu, 28 May 2009 00:52:00 -0400 When I found out first hand that you can make money with domains, a lot of money, and pretty easy money actually, the year was 2003... Unfortunately, I was so freakin busy with a million other things that I could barely dedicate any quality time to this new found opportunity. So, basically all I did was buy a few good domains per week when I had enough time to do the research / commit and then attempt to flip them over at eBay a few days later. So a few month's go by and I did something like 100 deals and I am thinking to myself... Time to take it to the next level. It's time to get serious and see how far I can go... http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/amazing-domain-business-opportunities/ 020D0051-0FA7-4058-A3ED-4A94B822AF54 Wed, 27 May 2009 00:24:00 -0400 Frank Schilling, Kevin Ham and that mysterious $164 million man who is otherwise known as Yun Ye managed to snatch up close to 1,000,000 of the best domains in only a few years... But what do you got?! You got all the shitty names and leftovers! Yep... Those three amazing genius domainers pretty much did a clean sweep right around 2001 - 2004 while everybody else was too busy with god knows what. Some of the others who invested in domains managed to do OK back then but those three in particular went at it like there was no tomorrow. Yun Ye sold his domain collection to publicly traded Marchex for $164 million a few years ago. Cha-Ching !! http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/legendary-domain-investors/ 0E41BF8A-817D-446B-8737-CD55BF031757 Tue, 26 May 2009 04:20:00 -0400 I like to think of myself as a pretty creative individual. I have been successful with a lot of my internet based ventures over the years for the most part because I am able to think outside of the box and then execute. But you know, sometimes you have to realize that things just are not meant to be and move on. Sure, it may look good on paper and whatever but when you actually get to it... Well, doesn't always play out as you had originally thought or wanted it to. Planning is one thing... But making it work, a lot tougher... Totally different! http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/risky-domain-industry-ventures/ 30691EEB-FF84-45CB-A53B-8E644747F3A8 Sat, 23 May 2009 00:05:00 -0400 So you want to take your website from nowhere to be found in Google, Yahoo and MSN to one of the top five spots and pull in tons of free traffic... Ahh. Don't we all?! It's kind of difficult this days though. Competition is as fierce as ever in just about every good niche, you know?! But no worries! I shall guide you. I will clue you in because nobody else will. There are a couple of ways to achieve those goals. So, if you are in no rush and in it for the long run and want to stay squeaky clean and not risk anything; the standard content production, basic search engine optimization and over time natural link building will do the trick. It's really all you have to do. Consistently. Every few days or so. Done deal... Or is it?!? http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/domain-creative-marketing-seo/ D63660DE-C4F4-4A8C-BCF9-E7ED2485F2C9 Tue, 19 May 2009 00:15:00 -0400 As a service provider I deal with a lot of newbies / beginners on various levels when it comes to domain development and SEO on a daily basis. Some know the basics and this and that which is nice.. Lots don't though unfortunately. It is great for me personally, because I make all this money selling services to the so called newbies who need help in carrying out certain tasks. Without them, I wouldn't be in this domain mass development business and would have nobody to sell anything to. I don't mind helping people who want the help.. But you know what annoys the crap out of me and really pisses me off?! It's all those newbies who don't even realize that they are newbies. They spend all of their time and energy posting BS on forums, blogs, etc. They have no idea WTF is going on in the real world. They are a wreck. They need an intervention! http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/domain-community-newbie-beginners/ 686A5618-BFA9-48F1-BD7C-2C2C11E07807 Mon, 18 May 2009 14:42:00 -0400 Hey guys... First of all, I'd like to ask you this right off the bat; why is your head so far up your ass?! How are you even able to function daily and call yourself an internet businessman and entrepreneur. Seriously. Why do you keep missing all of the greatest opportunities when they are right under your nose? You don't see them... At all?! I bet you hate yourself by now. Come on now!! Wake up. Pay close attention for once. Stop bullshiting around! So you are either going to like me a lot more after reading this article or hate my guts. Either way, I really don't give a shit, but it is what it is. Have a good read! http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/domainer-seo-millionaires/ 569D444E-CE20-4383-833B-7CC25E8007D4 Fri, 15 May 2009 00:48:00 -0400 Just the other day one of my clients notified me that he came across another domain development service that had a pretty similar sales pitch. So I visit the website... I look closely.. WOW! Pretty much copied me word for word. Well, I am flattered. LOL. What else is there to say?! No.. I am not going to send a C&D letter to this person's web host. No... I am not going to harass them or try to sue them. Let it be. I am sure things will take care of themselves. It's fine! http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/domain-name-development-business/ B2ABD2A8-2BF2-444D-8F26-058139B22805 Thu, 14 May 2009 00:29:00 -0400 Do you know who Ken Evoy is? Nope.. Of course you don't. Well, here is a quick intro: Ken is the man responsible for all of the mass development of 100,000's of hyphenated dot com domains since 1997... The guy is an internet marketing and web development pro. I saw websites produced with Ken's system as early as 2001. I remember first time browsing one of them and thinking to myself "damn, this website totally sucks" but as soon as I actually browsed around closely.. The more I realized that the site is not so bad. Why? Because the sites had great content. A lot of original and hard to find stuff. This is after all what seperates the best websites from all the rest. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/sitesell-site-built-it/ BF0CE580-FF8D-4FE0-AEF1-E5ED6317ADF8 Wed, 13 May 2009 00:05:00 -0400 Rick Schwartz has made everybody's life much easier... That is if you are involved one way or another in the domain industry. If it wasn't for Rick Schwartz, things would of sucked. Big time. The guy is a genius and one of the domain industry's top superstars. Since 2004 he has now organized 15 domain conferences. Not just any conferences but pretty big and successful ones. Events that draw record crowds and mainstream press.. That is a huge accomplishment. Big congrats to Rick Schwartz for all that you have done. Rick Schwartz has also made my life much easier as of late.. He has been going at it hard when it comes to blogging and covering the various domainer issues and hot topics. http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/rick-schwartz-domain-king/ 08DE9631-888F-4B65-9B1C-71842E2BD958 Mon, 11 May 2009 01:59:00 -0400 I know for a fact that some of you spend hours per day reading dozens of blogs, each and every day, seven days a week... Without ever missing a single day or new blog post over here and dozens of other blogs too. You are looking for the secret to success. Just hoping that somebody shares it and spills the beans. Hoping to find it one day one way or another... The information that will change your life and take you from a nobody to a somebody!! Right?! You want to get rich quick. You want to get on the fast track. You want to work less hours per day but still get a lot more done too!! Ahh... Yea. Don't we all? :) I am kinda guilty of that too at times though, so no worries. You are definitely not the only one who thinks / acts like that. No denying it. Come on now... It is human nature. Grass is always greener on the other side too especially when you are reading stuff claiming this and that.. Just keep in mind that not everything you read is true... Especially when it is impossible to verify. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/frank-schilling-name-admin/ 2C680420-24DB-4C75-9265-34EB098BEB78 Sun, 10 May 2009 01:30:00 -0400 One of the most powerful and proven monetization methods available to a website owner is the Google Adsense custom search but it is often ignored and unused. I don't know why!? Everybody is so used to those standard 468x60 and 250x250 units and whatever... I am sure they work for you and all that, but look.. Visitors are used to them as well. They have seen them everywhere too. Users don't like to click on ads. Period. They come to a site for the content offering and then quickly want to move on and go about doing whatever it is else they do on the internet. Whether it is talk to their friends or to check e-mail.. Going outside to play tennis or basketball, baking cookies, etc. Clicking ads?! Hah... Screw that! http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/google-adsense-search/ 3DC984D0-93BD-45F8-B32B-69E7F6A728E9 Fri, 8 May 2009 14:35:00 -0400 Xedoc Holding SA has one of the best adult domain portfolio's in the world and just recently they added another million dollar domain to their collection.. How much did it cost? Only $1,020,000.. Wanna take a guess at what the domain was? It was WebCam.com ! Surprise surprise. When that domain came up for auction, I was thinking to myself, hmm... So who is going to buy this category killer?! One of the webcam's affiliate programs or a domainer?! One of those domainers who I was thinking about was Xedoc Holding SA of course. The other was National A-1 Advertising. Both companies have thousands of adult domain names and make millions of dollars with them. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/xedoc-holding-adult-domains/ C733BF62-6EBE-4531-9AEC-68EC0310F728 Fri, 8 May 2009 00:05:00 -0400 When you own one of the largest domain portfolio's in the world... 850,000 keyword domains to be exact and launch actual websites / blogs on a bunch of them.. Nobody really notices. I mean, what is 20,000 domains after all?! It only accounts for a few percent. No big deal. LOL. Well, anybody else who would of mass developed 20,000 domains the same way and launched them as is, it would of been really big news and made headlines but with NameMedia it is nothing new. They have been doing big things for almost 10 years now. Surprisingly there was no press releases or anything like that. This mass development of web sites is all kept on the down low.. Interesting huh?! http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/buydomains-namemedia-website-blogs/ 6828A20F-AADD-4547-90E2-2F3090B8786B Thu, 7 May 2009 00:01:00 -0400 Pretty much everywhere you look this days on the web, everything is setup with some type of content management system (CMS) and the most popular choice is of course WordPress. It's not just a blog publishing tool or application or whatever the correct term is... It is a full blown system that can pretty much do everything that you can dream up and need it to do. There is so many cool add-ons for it and the system is pretty damn stable as long as you what you are doing and keep up with the maintenance. It is very dependable and flexible. A lot of cool stuff can be done with it. Did I mention it's free too?! http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/wordpress-domain-development/ D3292808-B0CB-41C0-A9B5-5FBBB73454EF Wed, 6 May 2009 05:10:00 -0400 As I wrote here exactly one month ago about Adknowledge... The next big thing in domain parking meets direct affiliate integration meets actual websites and your own content too... Well the Targeted Traffic domain conference came and went, the service was officially launched there but it seems like nobody really gives a shit about it. None of the domain blogs or sites wrote about Adknowledge's new service offering or even mentioned them anywhere. Nobody is talking about the service at any of the forums... Nobody is talking about it anywhere. Period. I wonder why? Hmm... http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/adknowledge-domain-channel/ 880AEE97-4A1D-4470-B6AF-59F9DBE0E5ED Tue, 5 May 2009 17:10:00 -0400 I am having a really hard time here and need all of your guys help ASAP. Please!! Now!!! I've been going back and forth with my selection and second guessing it for about the last two weeks now and I do not know what to do anymore... Ahh!! So frustrating. Don't you hate it when things that should normally only take you 2 minutes to get done take forever.. Like weeks?! LOL! Well, I am leaning towards #1 but just curious to see what you guys think... Please post up your comments below and let me know your personal preferences and any other suggestions you may have. Thanks in advance all! http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/wanna-develop-advertising/ 4DACCFAB-5C87-4CA3-AB18-874986FF39C3 Tue, 5 May 2009 00:15:00 -0400 WannaDevelop.com has entered into a multi-year partnership agreement with Develop.com.au, a domain web holding company for one of Australia's best domain name collections. "We teamed up with WannaDevelop.com because we found they offer the most affordable and effective domain mass development solutions available on the market today, and because of their expertise and successful track record," says Richard Boris of Develop.com.au. "We are very excited about the partnership with Mike Cohen and the entire WannaDevelop.com team of professionals in building out one of Australia's premier website networks on each and every one of our domain names." http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/domain-development-partnerships/ CC9156B4-CBF9-4A6D-A906-1A6E9556C83C Thu, 30 Apr 2009 17:00:00 -0400 I've been really busy here with things lately and haven't had too much time to write much... Got lots going on. One of them is a totally new service from WannaDevelop.com where we take your domain names to the next level. We're not talking about just mini-sites anymore. It was never what WannaDevelop.com services were all about. Our quick start-up service is only the first step. Development is a long term play and we always had bigger plans and so should you. So here we are all ready to go. Whether you like it or not. It is coming. You asked for it day after day. You requested certain features. We listened.. We have it. It's right here. We got it... Who else got a similar service available? Who else offers you such value?! The answer is nobody. Really. http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/domain-development-services/ BC40AE3F-1594-4A59-BF16-7EC9B616E9E6 Tue, 28 Apr 2009 00:00:30 -0400 The most popular question and type of comment in general that I see brought up often on a lot of forums and blog posts is the following "...wonder why these mass developers don't just spend their time building their own revenue producing sites, instead of offering such a low price service to others." which is a pretty good question, right? A lot of others will quickly jump in to the discussion with a response such as "the service is crap, stay away!" but without giving anymore details or "because it is a scam and for suckers" and so on. All of the newbies who have no clue are usually the ones running their mouth when it comes to this... They have nothing productive to add. Ever. They don't have the slightest clue as to what's really going on. LOL! http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/domain-mass-developers/ E122F8B3-8ED2-4994-865A-C7BA5820F45D Mon, 27 Apr 2009 00:00:00 -0400 Everybody already knows that "content is king" and probably have heard this saying many times over from lots of popular websites and people too... But what does it really mean? Ok, It goes a little something like this.. Original and relevant content is what is always in demand online... Right? Therefore, whatever "it is" popular at any given time.. Be it videos, images, articles, guides, reviews, etc... If you have it on your web site and it's one of the better ones out there, especially if it's available for free or the best deal VS. other competitors = makes you king. You are the king of that something. Yay! http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/content-king-traffic-ace/ C4F41F3E-17C1-4AAB-83D6-D9B54D607CAF Thu, 23 Apr 2009 16:00:00 -0400 HealthCare.com is a great business. The CEO of the company is Matias de Tezanos who I am sure many domainers already know from a while back. He has made headlines a bunch of times. Matias is one of the top young entrepreneurs / pure domain developers in the world and certainly one of the most successful latin american domainers of all time. One of the guys backing the HealthCare.com operations from the start and still heavily involved with the business is Rob Monster who just closed down one of his newer businesses, Monster Venture Partners, after burning through a little over $7,000,000 of his own personal money within two years on a bunch of website development projects. Ouch... At least he got HealthCare.com!! Right? It worked out well.. Really. So lucky. Matias also runs one of my favorite websites which I visit pretty much daily.. KillerStartUps.com ! It's awesome. http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/generic-keyword-domains-business-success/ 4088EAB6-9C94-43DC-A12B-E61E7AA4B235 Sun, 19 Apr 2009 16:00:00 -0400 The recent Rick Latona adult domain auctions didn't go so well. Everybody knows this already. A very small amount of domains sold. I know all the excitement and buzz is surrounding the sale of WebCam.com which sold for more than a million bucks... But did the owner of the domain get top dollar? The answer is no. The day that the auction closed (Sunday, April 12) I went ahead and started a thread at GFY to discuss the WebCam.com domain sale. GFY is the largest and most popular adult forum out there with all of the heavy hitters in the adult game if you didn't already know.. Now you know. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/rick-latona-domain-auctions/ 2A06F7B0-EF68-49D0-AD10-8E424F7BC54D Fri, 17 Apr 2009 07:30:00 -0400 One of the companies I've been following closely over the years is Marchex, who does some pretty cool stuff with domain mass development. They own hundreds of thousands of unique sites and have a majority of them developed, directory style. The sites are filled with relevant business listings. So I noticed last week that they rolled out a new setup. I am sure many will be surprised in regards to this latest move but I am not. I've actually been advocating and saying that this strategy works each and every time for many years now. It is refreshing to see some of the larger companies actually finally starting to get it and try out something new. Something so basic and a no brainer that has been overlooked.. Until now. They are connecting the dots, at last. Good job. http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/marchex-website-advertising-strategies/ B691D275-925D-4065-9D81-03E9DE34CC61 Wed, 15 Apr 2009 17:30:00 -0400 As I've written here before on numerous occasions now on this topic... I've mentioned that about 90% of all blogs and websites in general about the domain industry, development, search engine optimization, marketing, etc. they are all full of BS based on very little proven techniques or from credible sources. Lots of so called "theories" and fantasies too being spread around, in other words straight out lies. There is very little good and original content out there on the web. Most of the stuff is recycled information that has been around forever that people re circulate. I know of maybe 5 - 10 good and worthy domaining blogs at most that consistently come up with unique information that is original and interesting to read which you actually learn and take away something from. http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/successful-domain-development-business/ F1B8BBE8-E12C-4E86-988F-526A4F45AC5C Tue, 14 Apr 2009 17:30:00 -0400 Just the other week I went away for an extended weekend getaway down in Miami. So I wake up Friday a little after noon time in my 5 star room at a resort that is actually just a 10 minute walk from my condo in south beach (I get bored of it sometimes plus I was there the week before too) and my girlfriend tells me that something terrible had happened and that I should come watch the TV. Some crazy lunatic shot up a community center in Binghamton, NY. Now, I have many friends who go to school in Binghamton University. It's a popular university and has a large enrollment plus it's about three hours from where I live. This was really shocking and I was concerned. I got on the phone and made a few phone calls to make sure everybody is OK and to find out WTF is going on. http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/best-time-to-quit/ 332EB29B-9D31-48F2-B407-522984ED49E5 Sun, 12 Apr 2009 18:00:00 -0400 Everybody who has a blog or personal website this days writes about personal stuff or politics and other crap often... I've tried to avoid that on here from day one. Maybe I've wrote once on here about something that included something personal and wasn't entirely 100% business; development, advertising / marketing or domains related... But anyways, this is pretty cool, kinda important and yea, I am going to share about how I'll be using some creative advertising and keyword domains for a good cause as well. So lets get to it, exactly in 3 month's from now Tennis legend Andre Agassi is going to be coming down from Las Vegas to the Dellwood Country Club in NY for the Kennedy Funding Invitational organized and brought to you by Kennedy Funding. http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/summer-play-fun-business/ 722ED7B9-DA58-4F67-BC65-26764FECB16E Fri, 10 Apr 2009 04:00:00 -0400 Traditional domain parking solutions are sucking big time this days. So, what do you do? Obviously something has to change and we must evolve because what worked yetserday isn't guaranteed to work tomorrow. In 2007 Sendori burst onto the scene and had everybody energized and was hyped up to be the next big thing or something like that for the domain industry and it's savior that it will increase payouts big time for quality type in domain traffic... Right. Well, it didn't exactly go down or live up to be to those expectations or what it should of but I actually like Sendori's strategy. Don't get me wrong. It did quiet well and probably went as far as they could of. They even got acquired by Ask.com which is owned by multi-billion dollar IAC. Very nice accomplishments. http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/future-domain-name-parking/ 0EE76CD2-F526-4585-B69B-F02DFCC9ZB9D Tue, 7 Apr 2009 00:15:00 -0400 Earlier this month I was interviewed by Ron Jackson of Domain Name Journal. Ron posted a nice cover story for the month of March at DNJournal.com which featured some of the top domain mass development company profiles and backgrounds. You can check out the full article: The Next Big Thing in Domain Monetization? New Companies Are Making the Dream of Affordable Mass Development a Reality. Now, I am not too big fan of any of the other services. The ones that are capable of doing it on a mass scale, such as WhyPark or DevHub all use scrapped content and have too many other flaws. There is no SEO involved either. The ones that do the development custom, site by site, such as AEIOU and SiteGraduate aren't really able to do mass development on a bigger scale and also have no clue when it comes to optimizing the websites. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/professional-domain-mass-development/ 0EE76CD2-F526-4012-B69B-F02DFCC9FB9D Thu, 2 Apr 2009 00:10:00 -0400 If you didn't already know, YouTube is indeed the second largest search engine in the world right after Google the almighty. Yahoo trails at the number three spot. The video craze and social media hype and all that stuff has been going on for a few years now with MySpace and Facebook and all the rest of the other social networks but when Google acquired Youtube towards the end of the year in 2006 for $1.6 billion it kinda solidified everything that was going on with the social networks meeting the next big thing which has a bright future; videos. http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/seo-trends-video-search-optimization/ 487A546E-ACC7-46B5-97B1-35D166A8D250 Tue, 31 Mar 2009 05:30:00 -0400 Kevin Ham also known as "the man who owns the internet" head of the Reinvent Media Group wants you to check your credit score online... Badly! If you visit pottery.com or diseases.com, menopause.com, dateandtime.com mufflers.com and so on and so on there is a text link there right in your face that if you click on it.. It takes you to a parked page filled with credit score PPC ads. This is a classic attempt at traffic arbitrage. You take crappy traffic that doesn't convert well or traffic that the payouts suck for (really low, below 10 cents on average) and make an attempt to throw it at PPC ads that do pay well, usually a few dollars per click, hoping to get at least a few clicks here and there and squeeze out just a lil more than you would with the more traditional on-topic setup. http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/domain-name-traffic-arbitrage/ 190F1959-4BF9-4792-8B37-02855DE5E468 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 00:30:00 -0400 Guess what? Guess who?! Yup.. Just the other day somebody posted over here that I am the "Rick Schwartz of domain development" which I am not sure if it is a good or bad thing... Uhhh... This person followed up shortly there after with some totally ridiculous non sense though which had to be removed and is now banned for good. Sucker! Over the past few weeks I've gotten a lot more abusive e-mails / comments than normal as well as haters submitting my e-mail addresses at porn newsletter subscriptions and some other shopping offers... Ack. Then the other day another hater or maybe fan? Go figure... Called me the "most disgusting domain industry media whore" which kinda upset me a little... Almost teared up. Arrg. LOL! Not. It's all good. Really. http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/rick-schwartz-of-domain-development/ 5CD65A5B-7429-47B0-9001-26D6752FCD70 Wed, 25 Mar 2009 06:30:00 -0400 There are many successful companies and independent developers as well who have portfolios that consist of 100's, 1,000's and even 10,000+ of on-topic keyword domain names that compliment their online businesses. Without them they wouldn't be what they are today. Those domains help drive targeted traffic and generate business directly without having to rely on third parties 24/7/365. Domains are considered as branches of ones business. So I would like to quickly profile two companies that have been staying on top of things when it comes to this concept that I mention above. It includes strategic acquisitions of on-topic keyword domain names, targeted traffic and business development that is focused on long term growth. http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/domain-developers-serious-online-business/ D5EC3DD0-3D09-4574-9FEA-31C555A7DE62 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 02:00:00 -0400 Are the websites you are launching profitable? Are the websites getting any traffic at all... Ever? If most of them aren't then you suck... So lets see, you probably suck at research. You probably suck at the search engine optimization part too. You suck because you are lazy and skipped the basics...But don't worry, you are not the only one. Many have this problem. Well, you cannot succeed if you don't understand your mistakes. Most people I see simply ignore their mistakes and carry on to their next project... Repeating the same mistakes over and over again. http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/website-search-engine-optimization/ 5584C5AD-EC8F-4EBE-980D-E17783F3AD06 Fri, 20 Mar 2009 16:54:15 -0400 Here we are in 2009 and the WWW or as most simply refer to it the web has been around for 20 years strong... The internet had it's 20th birthday few days ago. Good stuff! Some of my more "geeky friends" had a big time bash down in an NYC club to celebrate. Unfortunately I had to work it up so couldn't make it. Seriously.. Some of them celebrated being on the internet for 10+ years.. Some 12.. Some 15, 17, etc... LOL! I have been on the internet since I was a lil kid since the mid 90's. I love absolutely everything about it. I fell in love with the internet the first time I got on it... It's great :) http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/website-visibility-internet-presence/ 82ED88ED-434F-4D91-A7E7-19C2D34D1BC7 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 18:30:00 -0400 So it looks like Marchex is now using thumbnails next to PPC ads on their parking pages as well. I first reported seeing this new feature rolled out on some of Frank Schilling's parked domains in this observation a few weeks ago "Frank Schilling is at it once again... Looking to innovate domain parking setup and tap into more effective optimization and monetization" but few days later once I published the story the thumbnails were gone, in other words taken off of the parked domains. Now I come across some domains owned by Marchex and noticed that they are using the same setup but it's done a lot better. http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/marchex-domain-parking-landers/ E6A75821-4E31-4839-9D37-151F1FA911CF Sat, 14 Mar 2009 15:30:00 -0400 There is all this myths about website development and search engine optimization that in order to have a truly successful website / business you need a ton of unique content and constant updates and tons of link building and all kinds of other seo... Well, of course none of that stuff will hurt to have and it can only help but it is not required. Just a silly myth. You can have a one page website setup with a couple of banners and you will do just fine. You can have a one page website with a few on-topic paragraphs and pictures and you will do even better. You can have a one page site with very little content and still make a lot of money and pull in plenty of search engine traffic. Yes you can. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/one-page-website-worth-millions/ 6FE23CE7-2AB7-4815-99F2-E367B8EE8136 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 19:30:00 -0400 So there is all this buzz about country code specific domain names as of late, in other words; keyword ccTLD domains and all the potential they may have. It's true.. They do have a lot of potential once developed, as do any other keyword domain name and they do receive some natural/organic type in traffic as well. But why is there such a "land rush" all of the sudden for them? Why is the spotlight suddenly on international domain names?! Is there really a great opportunity here to invest in and then wake up a year or two later much richer without doing nothing? That is the type of stuff that is floating out there.. It's all hype though for the most part unfortunately... Let me explain why. http://www.wannadevelop.com/observations/international-cctld-domains-traffic/ DF2913C2-605E-4024-AC18-BF4D8A4D7C05 Wed, 11 Mar 2009 04:00:00 -0400 It's funny but some people just don't know when it's time to cash out. They couldn't pick the right timing or make the best decision when it comes to this stuff even if their life depended on it. I understand this problem many people have though. It is not an easy decision and pretty difficult to decide and make up your mind on when it is best to cash out for good. Nobody wants to walk away from any type of business where the money is good. Of course nobody wants to cash out too early. http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/perfect-timing-cashing-out/ 43C87DEA-D6AF-4EF6-860F-2A9BD62079D8 Mon, 9 Mar 2009 04:00:00 -0400 When the economy went south last year I wanted to do something to help out somehow. At least in the industries that I was involved with. Even if it was only to reach out and help a few people with their businesses because we are facing challenging times in 2009. People could use all the help they can get. So I decided to setup a website and share some of my ideas, experiences and knowledge on a few subjects I am familiar with. A few individuals really inspired me to go about doing so and committing myself 100% to this "project" the way I do with this website currently. One of them is Frank Schilling. Legendary domain investor and very successful businessman who came up in early years of '2000. He invested a lot of his time and energy in running the seven mile blog recently. So I'm thinking, if Frank Schilling did it... So can I. http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/what-drives-motivates-inspires-success/ DD415351-BFBC-4E49-AC59-AA06CF57595D Sun, 8 Mar 2009 16:15:00 -0400 Keyword research is very important to anybody who controls a web site or does search engine advertising / search engine marketing and any type of optimization. You gotta be able to do the proper analysis each and every time and not spend a whole lot of time on this. You need reliable SEO tools with advanced research capabilities to help you get the job done. I only use a handful of tools these days and I have listed them below in no particular order. They are all great and worth bookmarking. Have fun with them.. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/top-website-keyword-research-tools/ FC8867A0-F3D0-4130-9BD4-62ED30A3C6C2 Sat, 7 Mar 2009 04:00:00 -0500 Some of you may or may not know but one of my biggest successes as far as domain mass development goes has been in the adult business. I took approximately 3,000 hand registered com/net/org keyword domains and turned them into a multi million dollar operation fairly easily. It involved a few partners of mine because pulling off this type of stuff individually is pretty much impossible. It was a team effort from start to finish... It all started in 2004. http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/pornstar-websites-adult-domain-networks/ 999CBB3D-39B4-4FFE-9793-76915CB79FB1 Fri, 6 Mar 2009 04:15:00 -0500 I get asked around all the time by clients about running your own ecommerce website store or how to go about somehow teaming up with some of the larger retailers online and creating one big mega store. Whether it is possible at all, how it can be arranged, etc. Well, of course most online retailers do offer api's and customized and whitelabel product feeds and everything can be arranged but it will require a whole lot of customization and progamming. It's a lot of headaches. It will also cost tens of thousands of dollars to get something functional put together. Something powerful and unique? You are talking about $100,000 or more. For first timers and beginners I always recommend to start from something very basic and go from there. Luckily there is Amazon and AOM. A pretty simple straightforward solution and a match made in heaven. http://www.wannadevelop.com/reviews/ecommerce-storefront-website-development DDFB2526-3799-435E-BB3C-B17F2F13FCC9 Thu, 5 Mar 2009 04:15:00 -0500 I try not to rely on luck very much these days. I try to make good and informed business decisions if I am serious about something. Each and every move is calculated by doing a whole lot of research. I try to take out as much risk as possible and pretty much always succeed by meeting my goals by having a short term plan in order to turn in a profit and from there on a long term plan where I can put myself in a position where I can make a whole lot of money off of a certain investment or business operation... But what about when luck just isn't on your side? Oh yea.. It sucks. I've had this happen to me more than once or twice. The story of Maria Sharapova who set me straight... http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/sometimes-lucky-sometimes-unlucky/ D0C2D338-D693-44B3-AC13-BDDC6F3C84EB Tue, 3 Mar 2009 04:15:00 -0500 Thanks to Bernie Madoff, Sonja Kohn and Bloomberg.com we got loads of traffic and free publicity and maybe even a few $xx,xxx real estate deals in the works for one of my clients... OK, so you are probably wondering, what the hell are you talking about? Well, let me explain how and what went down. So as a routine check of all of my clients websites activities and statistics every other week or so I noticed that one website part of a long time client's of mine which was actually pretty new which we launched a little over a month ago had a big time spike in traffic. This was unusual because this stuff just doesn't happen. There must of been a really good reason. http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/optimizing-websites-image-search-rankings/ 29C0EE08-8EB4-41A7-BB18-950CAC6D2956 Mon, 2 Mar 2009 04:15:00 -0500 So how about a case study... OK, so.. Lets see. DJ Mystik / DJ Mystic. Which one is the correct one? Well, it is DJ Mystik, but both variations get pretty much the same amount of searches and activity. So, back when I wanted to setup websites about DJ Mystik in 2006, I went ahead and registered both variations and setup websites on both dj mystik dot net and dj mystic dot net to pull in as much traffic as possible and capitalize. Two websites went up. Currently the DJ Mystik domain ranks #3 on yahoo and #2 on msn for the keyword "DJ Mystik" look it up and see for yourself. The DJ Mystic domain ranks #1 on both. http://www.wannadevelop.com/articles/developing-alternative-domain-variations-websites 28C1EB1C-22C0-4877-B133-F6FCD075F3D6 Sun, 1 Mar 2009 04:15:00 -0500
