Now that G**gle has recently rolled out ads*nse for domains it appears that it has both recognized domaineering as a legitimate Internet marketing business and that that some companies find parked domains an effective way to carry their advertising to users. This more or less ends the discussion about domaineers being scammers or cybersquatters. In a seemingly 180 degree turn aboutface, G**gle has now become a domain parking service provider, giving it’s stamp of approval to domain monetization. Was this done because it got tired of parking companies nibbling away at it’s lunch? Being a business, presumably it was done with the profit motive in mind.

Domaineering is domain advertising…domaining is domain speculating. Domineering is “Madison Avenue”, while domaining is Wall Street.

Some say that parked domains are “unused” and that is an fair statement for some but not all. The generic domains utilized in professional domaineering however are clearly being “used”…for conveying information, ( which is what all advertising basically is and what the Internet intrinsically does ), and as valuable potential earning assets, they are being used to the fullest extent their owners are aware of and are able to do. There may be disagreements that there may be better uses, however, that can be said about almost any asset…from real estate to money…and not just about domains.

Domaineering is the business of acquiring and monetizing Internet domain names for their use primarily as an advertising medium rather than as intellectual property investments for resale as in domaining. In essence, the domain names function as virtual Internet billboards with generic domain names being highly valued for their revenue generating potential derived from attracting Internet traffic hits. As with traditional advertising, domaineering is part art and part science. Often to be the most effective as advertising tools, the domain names and their corresponding landing pages must be engineered or optimized to produce maximum revenue which may require considerable skill and good knowledge of search engine optimization ( SEO ) practices, marketing psychology and an understanding of the target market audience. Domaineering generally utilizes a firm offering domain parking services to provide the sponsored “feed” of a word or phrase searched for. Occasionally content is added to develop a functional mini-website. Domaineers and some of those who advertise online using keywords believe domaineering provides a useful, legal and legitimate Internet marketing service while opponents of domaineering decry the practice as increasing the ubiquitous commercialization of the world wide web. Domaineering is practiced by both large companies who may have registered hundreds or even thousands of domains to individual entrepreneurial minded domaineers who may only own one or a few.

Abe…did you read the content of this bo-bo article? I’m looking at the snapshot. Is it just my eyes or what? Reading on the visible texts, it says…”Have you or your children ever watched a movie or DVD only to be surprised by the amount of language, violence, or sex it contained? If so, you’ll understanding of why you need to visit Parent Previews (http://www.par-…” huh, “you’ll understanding”? I think, palusot na lang yun sinabi ni Ajay na wala ang editor para masisi yun layout artist. Sangkatutak na blunder yan Technews ng Manila Bulletin. I think the section degrades the integrity of the paper.

Done right, one can make a decent money from domaineering. If you want to know more, go to http://www.domaineering.biz to learn about this new type of Internet advertising and domain monetization. Forget the speculation of domaining and move on to domaineering.

That’s correct. Domaineering or engineering ( i.e., designing, a domain for use in internet marketing is a far cry from the viewing of domains as virtual internet real estate for speculation that traditional domaining involves. Successful domaineering takes a good understanding search engine optimization ( SEO ) techniques. It’s a niche area of web marketing that’s not well understood although gaining in prominence. True domaineers do not like to be called domainers because domaineers are marketing professionals not domain speculators.

There’s “domaining” and then there’s “domaineering”. They are not the same. Domaineering is a form of legal and legitimate internet marketing used by business or others to advertise under a certain domain name that is generally optimized or targeted to a specific business or other interest. This is not as easy as it appears and may involve a considerable amount of creativity and market research to be profitable. Domaineers are primarily interested in selling online advertising space under their domains and not the domains themselves as found typically more often in domaining with it’s domain auctions. Domaineering evolved from a relatively new online marketing industry called domain parking or domain monetization. It should also not be confused with the cybersquatting of domain names which generally does not intend or perform any advertising functions. Please see http://www.domaineering.org for more information on domaineering.

I’m a victim of the inept layout artist of the Bulletin too. See http://vaes9.codedgraphic.com/posts/wikipilipinas_not_a_pedia Essentially, the artist got the URL wrong again.

Just wondering, is Manila Bulletin the number 1 paper in Philippines?

What about Manila Times and Daily Inquirer?

Have always thought Manila Times was the nation’s leading paper…

Art: Another Pinoy who can’t take criticism. Your angry because you see yourself in the shoes of the idiot. Not kissing Yuga’s ass but he has done a lot to boost the Philippine blogging and IT scene. People tend to stoop to violence when they can’t hang mentally.

I was eating dinner and it just so happened my husband was beside me reading this article on his laptop.

I am no fan of blogging, but I do read people’s blogs sometimes, and the fact that my husband is a hardcore blogger creates a certain level of curiosity as to what blogging is all about.

I happen to know that the Manila Bulletin features bloggers. Personally I think that’s a great opportunity for bloggers to get their opinions “heard” by more people online and offline (through newspapers).

If ever there are mistakes or typographical errors made or overlooked by the editor of Manila Bulletin, I think it would be nice to give constructive criticisms/comments. That way, both parties will benefit from each other. Makes the world a better place.

I have been a part of a publication once. Typos and errors such as these are very common especially if you have a newspaper that circulates regularly.

Ajay may be right. It might be a typo or something.

And can you guys please be easy on the lay-out artist. e may not be the one at fault you know? Haha.

I wonder if they really have reviewed the wrong site.

Since that’s the June 16th issue, I wonder if some sort of erratum had been published by the MB since. Or the mistake has remained unnoticed until this entry was posted?

Of course there will always be a double standard. We’re talking about the Manila Bulletin! We’d expect more from you. I couldn’t care less if that article appeared in Abante. Don’t think that even if I said it was hilarious, it overjoys me to see mistakes like these in national newspapers. It’s actually depressing.
