A Domain Name And What Is Behind It

By Joha Rahman

Many articles had been written on the characteristics of a good domain name. I include some of points here:

1. The domain name is the name of the website itself.
2. Easy to spell, relatively short and easy to be remembered.
3. Contains the keywords – The words chosen to clearly describe what you or your business does. This will help the search engine to relate to the searches made by the customers.
4. Alphabetically strategic – Most directories are sorted according to the alphabetical order. If your web’’s name started with ”z” likely it will be among the last in the list.
5. Intuitive to the customers – the name selected should indicate who you are and the type of business you are in. If you are selling a romance books, name such as pagesofromance.com give some indication of the business.
6. Others, such as the issue of local or global name, dot com or biz etc.

Having a good name is important for two basic reasons. First, it is for human consumption, as the way we think, we always do it using associations. If we see a web site with a picture of a football, our mind will associate it to the favorite football club or football players. This is important, as we want the name of our web site to have the natural association to the products or services that we are marketing.

It is also important for us to be aware of the cultural implication of the chosen name. This is because the same word will have different significant to different groups of people. The word ”red” will indicate prosperity to a Chinese, and can mean bravery to another group, and at worst can be related to blood or death.

Second reason is for the search engines. The customers will be searching for the product using the search engine. It will be great, if it point to your web site straight away. You can use the help from the search engine tools to identify if the selected name has a high search hits or not.

Looking at significant of the domain name, both to the customers and the search engines, it is a good idea to balance and optimize it. If you intend to rely heavily of SEO, it is more important to have the name corresponding to the requirements of the search engine. However I will tend to put preference to the human needs, as the SEO can be done by other methods.

How To Fish For Tuna – Techniques To Catch More Tuna

By Carolyn Anderson

Tuna is one of the great fishes to catch whether for big-game fishing or commercial purposes. In big game fishing, catching tuna is an exciting adventure as they are great sport fish that will challenge your skill in fishing. They will usually yank the line out of the reel or move around in circles. If you want to explore the fun and excitement, here are some techniques and tips on how to fish for tuna.

Trolling is one technique popularly used in catching tuna. In this method of fishing, one or more fishing lines with baits and lures are drawn from behind the boat. Another popular method on how to fish for tuna is chumming, where a chum bag containing chopped or ground fish parts is attached to the stern of the boat, attracting baitfish as it scatters in the water and eventually attracting bigger fishes like tuna.

Do your fishing early in the morning or late afternoon where there is low lighting, as tuna tends to bite better with low lighting. Although these fishes are elusive, a little patience and a good fishing technique will eventually pay off.

One tip that you can follow in finding these great fishes is to watch out for the seabirds diving on a specific area, it may give a hint of baitfishes nearby. Of course, the baitfishes attract tuna and other bigger fishes. The sight of dolphins may also mean having groups of tuna nearby as they usually travel together with sharks and dolphins.

It is also important to know where to find tuna in certain seasons. In summer, or in warmer seasons, you can most often find tuna near the surface of the water making them easy to catch during these seasons. During winter, they hunt for food in the deeper waters, thus fishing for tuna during these months may also mean fishing in deep waters.

To learn how to fish for tuna, keep in mind the types of bait that tuna prefers including the lures that are effective in each type of tuna. It also helps to check out the correct temperature and depths that different types of tuna prefer.

Baits usually effective for tuna are bluefish, skipjacks, squids and mackerel. On the other hand, lures for tuna may include those that have Kona head which create bubble trail and surface action that can easily attract tuna. You can also use strip baits, large spoons, skirted lures and plugs. These are also useful when you go out trolling as well.

If it is your first time in fishing tuna, it might be useful not only to learn how to fish tuna but in managing it when you finally catch one. Keep in mind that tuna are great fighter fishes and they can yank the line off your reel if you get them on bait. Especially if you are going out to catch tuna for the first time, it may help a lot to have a fishing buddy who is familiar with tuna fishing. If you do get a large tuna, you may have to battle with it until you can finally get it up to the boat.

Who\’s Managing Your Domain Name?

By Sam Prochazka

Website gone down? Realtors managing their own domain names risk this happening up to once per year, and the worst part is that their websites could be down forever…

What’’s a domain name?

Wikipedia’’s definition is as follows:

“A domain name is an identification label that defines a realm of administrative autonomy, authority, or control in the Internet, based on the Domain Name System (DNS).”

Put simply, a domain name is the address of a website, and is sometimes referred to (sometimes incorrectly) as a:

* URL
* Website Name
* Web address

How are they purchased?

Domain names are purchased through registrars who are accredited by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Here are some examples:

* GoDaddy
* Domains At Cost
* Network Solutions

Registrars charge a variety of fees and typically offer a variety of other services including (but not limited to):

* Domain registration/parking/back-ordering
* Website design
* Website hosting
* Email

Who Owns a Domain Name?

This is a good question. Most people think that once they pay for a name they will own it indefinitely. The fact is that a person or company cannot “purchase” a domain name outright because they must continue paying registration renewal fees to keep control of that name.

In essence, domains are like rented real estate – you can sign variable term leases (1-10 years), but the lease will inevitably expire and need to be renewed, or terminated.

What happens if I miss a payment?

Missing a payment on a name can be EXTREMELY serious. Here’’s what typically happens:

1. The registrar will email the technical and administrative contacts associated with the name notifying them that registration has expired, and that the name has been suspended for 30 days.

2. After two weeks, the registrar will email the technical and administrative contacts notifying them that the name is entering a redemption period (prices go up here!!).

3. After a month, the registrar will send one last email notifying the registrant that the name is about to be lost.

4a. Within a few days the registrar will offer the name to any third parties that have placed back-orders for it (this practice has become less common recently, though some people are unlucky enough to lose their names to these “domain squatters”). The successful back-order will become the new owner of the name.

4b. Occasionally the name will be deleted from the registrar, allowing anyone to move in and purchase it.

Recovering a name once it has expired or changed ownership can be an extremely expensive proposition. In many cases, unless the former owner is willing to pay hundreds, or even thousands of dollars, he/she will need to abandon the former name and start again. This means new business cards, email addresses, promotional material, advertising campaigns, search engine optimization, etc.

So, who should manage your domain name?

Make sure your domain manager has (at least) the following qualifications:

* They check their email AT LEAST once per day, including weekends
* They will never change their email address
* They are experienced in the registration and renewal processes
* They use only the most stable registrars

Managing a domain name properly is crucial for the success of any website. Serious professionals will leave this up to the experts.

Choosing Your Domain Name And Deciding Which Extension To Use

By Scott Lindsay

The Internet’’s domain name system (DNS) is an address to refer to websites. This name, also called a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the location online where your audience can find your website. The domain name you choose for your website describes your online presence and what your website is about.

The Family Tree

The beginning of a website address is the World Wide Web or www dot. After the beginning, are the second-level domain and the top-level domain. Each level is unique to the website itself.

The second-level domain is the name which you will name your website, such as “website name”. This name needs to describe your website or the purpose of your website. You need to create a name easy to remember.

The top-level domain is a name you choose from a list. You do not create this name. This is often called a generic domain (gTLD). The most popular domain extensions online are: COM, NET, ORG, US, EDU, MIL, and many others. Let’’s take a closer look at these extensions.

* COM – this extension was created for commercial sites. Companies in the marketplace doing business transactions online choose this name. However, during the nineties people began grabbing up this extension because it was trendy. Numerous people have saved com addresses, to the point there are not many left. This domain name may be registered without restriction.

* NET – was created for companies on a network. However, when people cannot find the com name they want, they usually choose a net for their website domain. This domain name may be registered without restriction.

* ORG – is reserved for not-for-profit organizations. Churches, charities, and healthcare organizations usually use this domain extension. This domain name may be registered without restriction.

* US or GOV – US names are part of country names. (Banks usually used this extension). GOV indicates a governmental site. This extension is restricted.

* EDU – indicates an educational system. This domain name is restricted to only websites dedicated to higher education, such as universities.

* MIL – this extension is dedicated to the United States military forces and is restricted for public use.

In 2001 and 2002, four new top-level domain names were created by the ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). These new names are: BIZ, INFO, NAME, AND PRO. Biz is for businesses, Info is for informational websites. Name is for real or fictional name or personal pages. Pro is for professional websites such as lawyers, accountants, and physicians.

Conclusion

A website name should be as unique as its creator. Com, Net, and Org are the only top-level names you can choose from, so make your website address applicable to the purpose of your website.

Long Live The 10 Oldest Domain Names

By John Edet

People are quite aware of the importance of domain names when it comes to investing in one. These serve practically as your identity online which is why it is very important that you choose a name that will survive for a long time in the online world. Since the introduction of the availability of names in 1984, people have greatly benefitted from these. They have been able to put up their websites which have turned into great money-making opportunities online.

These 10 names are actually traced way back to 1985. This is the year when domain registration had been introduced. Even though these were only a few names which were set up that year and the following year, they still remain as the oldest domains ever. If you do a lookup, you will even see that they still work at present.

Searching for the 10 oldest domain names they are as follows – Symbolics, BBN, Think, MCC, DEC, Northrop, Xerox, SRI, HP and Bellcore. These names are used by companies which actually offer a variety of different services. There is really no specific theme for these names. They are basically names which have been put up in the past and still working 25 years after.

These domains have set the trend to choosing a domain name. This may be a big factor when it comes to the success of these websites, resulting in the fact that they are still up and running. First, these names are relevant to the companies that own the sites. Taking a look at these names, they are the names of the companies that own the websites. People will have an easy time remembering their names.

These names are very short and catchy. They are made up of just one word which can easily be remembered. To top it off they are very simple and have the “.com” extension. This is one thing that everyone has to keep in mind when investing in the right name.

The common ”.com” extension which was the first to used back then, thus registered by these web owners. Since this extension has grown familiar to most domain owners it still remains the most popular choice to date. Compared to the other extension, site owners are still concerned with registering web addresses ending with the ”.com” extension then probably acquiring other extension. It has a bearing on the name that people choose nowadays which can be quite a challenge.

Trends for names have grown over the years but these names have survived the test of time. We can say these 10 names will still be around for a long time to come. Depending on the idea and business model of the site, lot of sites may not follow in suit of these iconic domains due to many names already registered.

It may be a little difficult nowadays in choosing names but being creative is certainly paying off. We have seen the birth of popular sites such Flickr, Spellrus and Bit.ly to name a few. Hopefully they will be around for a long time to come just like these iconic 10.

Online Brand Management: Brand Protection Basics

By Enzo F. Cesario

One of the greatest strengths of the Web is that it gives everyone with a connection the ability to publish content, period. Anyone can register domain names and build attendant webpages, often for what amounts to a pittance. Some domains cost as little as ten dollars to register, or less if the buyer wishes to bundle the purchase of several names at once. Naturally, this flexibility has attracted the attention of people with less than honest motives for their efforts.

Like it or not, there are individuals online who aren”t content to promote their brand through their own efforts and hard work, but would prefer to profit by the work of others. They accomplish this through a number of unfortunate methods. They domain-squat on names they expect to become famous, use similar names and domains to get attention, and in general rely on the good name of brands they have nothing to do with to draw in business.

As part of the effort to build up a brand into something to be proud of, it’’s important to focus on brand protection. It may sound silly on the surface; after all, who could be confused by Makdonolds as opposed to McDonalds? However the issue isn”t always quite so ridiculously clear, and can lead to a number of hassles a brand just doesn”t need. Here we share three common hazards and their solutions for safeguarding your brand.

Hazard 1 – Cybersquatting

In short, cybersquatting is a series of methods for registering and maintaining a domain name solely with the intent to profit from another agency that desires it.

The first method revolves around predicting the need for the domain name itself. As in the above example, suppose in the early days of the Internet someone outside McDonald’’s had registered all the relevant domain names. When McDonald’’s finally goes to establish a Web presence, they find the names they need are all taken, and thus have to bargain with this individual for terms under which he”ll sell them back, obviously at a profit to himself.

Other methods involve registering similar domain names to existent ones. Suppose again that McDonald’’s had possession of McDonald’’s.com, but not McDonald’’s.net. The squatter picks up the .net domain, knowing that at least some people will come to the page out of curiosity or by accident. Once again, they can bargain with McDonald’’s over ownership, or they can provide a link to McDonald’’s own webpage, and thus get click-through traffic that can be monetized with ad revenue.

Solutions to Cybersquatting

Due to the fight over free speech and free market rights pertaining to the Web, cybersquatting is not easy to define as illegal. It is certainly unethical, but given the myriad of international laws governing the use of these domain names there is not always a clear recourse in overcoming these activities.

There are always methods that can be used, however. First, there is the legal recourse of going through ICANN for arbitration. However courts can and often have overturned ICANN’’s rulings upon further review. The legal fees associated with this process may exceed the cost of simply buying the domain outright from the squatters.

Another option is to be creative with your domain names. Google, Yahoo, icanhascheezburger, and similar domain names share a certain nonsense quality. They aren”t commonly used words, and are less likely to get snapped up by squatters. If your business isn”t tied strongly to a real world word already, consider coming up with something outside the box to prevent yourself from getting squatted. Purchase several of the more common variations on your domain name as well, to prevent the parallel name style of squatting.

Hazard 2 – Typo Squatting

Typo squatting relies on common typing errors or shortcuts to redirect users to a site other than the one they intended to visit. For example, information.com could be typed as iformation.com or info.com, and lead to the squatting site instead of the intended location. While this may seem like a variant on cybersquatting, it ends up being rather different in practice.

As with parallel naming, the intent here is to use a similar name to draw in users looking for one site. However the intent is very rarely to sell the url to the parent company. More frequently, these sites direct to ”gripe” pages, spambots, malware propagators and other malicious activities.

Solutions to Typo Squatting

Once again, legal action can be taken to protect a brand (particularly if the squatters are profiting from the venture), but can quickly become expensive. A more cost-effective route for a smaller brand just getting started would be to post information to your social media news room and webpage about any such sites you come across, with warnings and information on how to circumvent them. Taking responsibility for your brand is the best way to protect it and cement its value in your audience’’s mind.

Hazard 3 – Complacency

It’’s tempting to register a domain name and trademark, and think that’’s all you need to do. However, neither of these confers automatic protection. Yes, they allow for recourse to the law in the event a case goes to court, but the Internet is a place where information moves quickly. By the time you fight things out in a court case that you may or may not actually win, people already have associated your brand with the spambot they accidentally got directed to.

Solutions to Complacency

Be proactive. Education is your best defense on the Web. Learn about common cybersquatting and typosquatting tactics. Check your domain and see if others are using these tricks to hurt your brand (consciously or inadvertently). Be aware, be informed, and take every step you can. The Internet is a dynamic place, and it falls to you to make sure that benefits you, rather than blemishes your brand.

Why Should You Start Fly Tying?

By Tomas Labas

Fly tying is becoming increasingly fashionable, and now many fisherman are deciding to tie their own flies. Perchance you are one of them, and know lots concerning what works for you in the waters you fish in, and for catching differing fish. If you”re new to fishing, then here’’s why you should start doing this yourself.

When you produce your own flies, you”ll know exactly what you”re getting, and won”t be spending funds on things you don”t need. Perchance you”ve bought flies before that weren”t very effective, or you bought the wrong ones for the period of year, or the waters you were fishing in.

You can save resources by tying your own flies. If you want to save for a lighter rod, or a superior reel, then why save money on bait, and make your own flies?

You can use all sorts of things to make perfect fishing flies, you”ll be making use of things you”d normally throw away. Deliberate about how you could utilize shiny sweet wrappers, or reflective articles, or bits of foam packaging.

Think of the extreme sense of pride you”ll have when you land your first fish with a fly you tied yourself. Perchance you”ll determine something outright different from the other fisherman, or than you”ve used before, and it”ll work well for you.

As you get better and better at fly tying, you”ll lean what sort of doings fish are attracted to. Maybe any fish will like brighter colors, or differing textures, or bigger or smaller shapes. You can experiment with lots of differing ideas, and it doesn”t have to be costly at all.

You”ll get used to tying flies onto your rod, and in a while you”ll be much better at it, and produce productive flies to help you catch more fish.

You might be consequently creative and want to put your creativity to absolute use when you”re not sat on the bank, or wading in the river. Why not see whether you can make productive fishing flies in order to catch more fish?

Fisherman comprehend that different flies work with differing fish, in different waters and at different times of the year. So once you know the waters and what you”re likely to catch, you”ll know exactly what you need, and can be highly prepared.

There are folks who don”t go fishing who are keen on fly tying, and do it strict for fun. If you do know someone who enjoys fly tying but doesn”t fish, ask if they can help you get started, or borrow some of their ideas.

Now you know more about it, perchance now is the time for you to start fly tying today.

Starting a Website through Domain Registration

By Andy West

Surfing around professional websites, you may find yourself wondering how they are made. Big time companies hire expert web designers to make their sites and often keep these teams on payroll. Looking at these sites may be intimidating if you are interested in starting your own webpage. The truth is that the website startup process is surprisingly simple if you want a basic corner of the web to call your own. For examples of how these projects can turn out, look up some less ornate websites made by smaller businesses or individuals. Your website won”t have all the bells and whistles, but with some time and effort you can produce some impressive results. The first step? Domain registration.

Your internet domain is basically the brand name of your website. If you are starting a business site, it should be obvious that you want a domain name closely related to the name of your business. If a potential customer hears about your business, you want them to be able to find your website with no difficulties. If they need to memorize a completely different web address, there is a much lower chance that they make it to your site.

A problem can arise if the desired domain name is already taken. Domain name registrars often recommend tossing little words like the in front of the name you wanted. If you go with this choice, you have to remember the additional word when you promote your site. Another option is to make your name more specific. This could involve something special about your website or company. It could also just make use of your geographic location. This can be helpful since people often add a location to their search if they don”t find what they want right away. Don”t let your domain name get too long, though. A fifty letter name may be available for domain registration, but it certainly won”t be easy for people to remember.

People often wonder what extension they should use for their domain registration. The .com extension is the most popular. When hearing about a business, people often assume this extension. That means there may be some risk in using others. On the other hand, a different extension could let you register the name you always wanted, which wasn”t available with the .com ending. Some extensions are particular to certain countries. Those living outside the United States should consider a country specific extension because locals may be more likely to find the site. Be aware that other extensions may indicate something about the website, such as a non-profit goal.

Domain privacy is becoming an important issue for many web page owners. The WHOIS database collects the private contact info of people who register website names. This can result in some unwanted attention, including spam. Due to customer concerns, some domain name registrars offer private domain registration for a small additional fee. Such protection isn”t a necessity, but it is well worth the small cost. If your website starts to get a lot of traffic, you may regret not picking up this inexpensive protection.

Domain registration is the first step in creating your own personal or business website. Choosing the right domain registrar provides access to excellent web design tools that will provide a huge helping hand for the remainder of the process. A quality web page creator tool is the best thing a registrar can offer, but a reliable support team comes in a close second. If you have any questions about registering or need advice on designing your site, you”ll want access to professional tech support. There are many companies that sell official domain name registration, so spend some time shopping around online for the best offers and peripherals. You will never regret making a careful decision about your domain name, so take your time and enjoy the process!

Largemouth Bass Lures – Choosing Your Bass Fishing Lures

By Carolyn Anderson

Fishing is a great hobby and largemouth bass fishing is even more exciting as these species are exciting and relatively easy to catch. These fishes are also found in many bodies of water, from small ponds to reservoirs to natural lakes and other bodies of water that does not have strong current.

If you want to explore bass fishing, one of the things you must consider is finding out the best largemouth bass lures. Different kinds of lures are used by fishermen in getting those largemouth bass lures, and they differ from sizes and colors and may resemble much of what are usually found in the waters.

Largemouth bass lures are often ‘’specialized” for a certain location or the depth of the water where you want to go fishing, although all lures help you catch these fishes, you can maximize your catch by using the appropriate lure in certain waters or locations. If you are going out bass fishing in shallow waters, you have to go for lures best for shallow waters. Among the lures good for shallow water fishing are hair-bugs, buzz baits, surface plugs, poppers and other soft plastic lures. Mouse imitations are also good if you are under trees.

If you are going fishing in not too shallow waters, and slightly deeper waters, artificial worms that are a little heavier can be effective. Among the lures that are effective in this kind of setting are spoons, spinner baits, crank baits, minnow plugs, and streamers, although spoons are great for bass fishing at any depths.

Making Wooden Lures – Some Tips On How To Make Wooden Lures For Fishing

By Carolyn Anderson

If you are a fishing enthusiast and you have been wanting to learn the making wooden lures for bass fishing or for other types of fishes, whether in saltwater or freshwater, then you may want to learn a few tips on how to make one.

You can start with finding the right material for your wooden lure. The first step to making wooden lures is of course to find the materials or wood that you want to use for your lure. In choosing your wood, keep in mind that using softwood or hardwood matters. If you choose softwoods, your lure would be lighter and has a big possibility that it will float.

Hardwood on the other hand can be suspended well and may have a tighter action, but keep in mind too that hardwood may be difficult to shape. Although different types of wood can still catch fish, you will eventually learn which type of wood is suitable for the types of fish that you want to catch. Most often, wooden lures are made of basswood, white cedar or cedar. It is it your first time in making wooden lures, you may start with these types of wood first as they are easy to work with and are good also for fishing as well.

The tools you need in making wooden lures may be common and present in your tool shed. If you see wooden lure making as a hobby, you can also get yourself some specialized tool to make this task a little easier and lighter. A hammer, a hand saw, or back saw, a hand drill to add holes in your wooden lure and other basic tools you will need for cutting, sanding, painting and designing your lure. You may also need a carving knife to etch details in your wooden lure.

To start making your wooden lures, you have to sketch the outline of your lure on the wood and with your carving knife, carve the actual design of your lure until up to the details of the edges. With sandpaper, sand your carved design until the edges are smoothened and the shape is attained.

Make a sketch on where you want to put your hooks and drill holes on it with your hand drill. You can also add superglue on the holes when your hooks are already attached to strengthen it. After all the hooks are done and the surfaces of your wooden lure are smoothened, you can then find a good painting design for your lure. You may want to follow a pattern for your lure depending on the fish you want to catch. Make sure however that you get a water resistant paint to make its color remain ”real” underwater.

If you love woodworking, you may want to a hobby out of making wooden lures. You can experiment with the types of wood that makes a great catch and experiment with different designs that is suitable for certain types of fishes like bass.
