dot tel domains – does your company need one?

I thought should let you all know about .tel domains. Dot tel domains are a new type of domain that went on open release last week. Dot tel domains are unlike other domains, you can’t put a website up on a .tel domain but you can put all of your contact details up there, your email address, fax number, tel number, website address etc. If your company has lots of different departments etc you can put up contact details for each department. Dot tel domains view perfectly on any mobile device so as more people use their mobiles to access the web dot tel domains will become more popular. Dot tel domains are like an online business card. The next time you meet a business associate and they want to know your telephone number or email address, just tell them to check out yourcompanyname.tel and they can find all the info they need there. You can also register dot tel domains for personal use – check out justin.tel for a good example.

You may not need a .tel at the moment, but if you think your company will make good use of it in years to come, you should register it now. Also, be careful, as a competitor can register your .tel domain and then use it to point visitors at their website and contact details.

You can get a web company to register a .tel domain for you and put up your contact details.

Tel Tips

Is your tel indexed in Google? To find out, go to google.com and enter this “site:yoursitename.tel” . If your site appears, then it has been indexed by the giant search engine google!

Just being indexed is not all that you need to hope for if you want people to visit your Tel site. You must decide who you want to visit your site. Once you have decided who you would like to visit your Tel, then you can decide what to say on your site that will be the most likely to attract that visitor. Do a google search on SEOABCs and learn the ABC’s of SEO. SEO stand for search engine optimization, and what you want to do is tailor the wording and the content (although limited for a Tel) so that it will be found by the type of visitor that you want to send a message to.

For Example: If dot tel 411.com (dottel411.com) wants people to visit this site and use the “Tel Search” function, then the more times that Tel Search, or Tel 411, or even Tel information are used in real sentences the more likely Google is to decide to put this site higher on their search page when someone enters Tel information. (or Tel411, DotTel411, or any other Dot Tel 411 Search phrases.

So, take a look at the name of your Dot Tel. When people search for your service or product have you mentioned that service or product? Have you mentioned it several times? The more times that your have mentioned it the more likely they are to find it when they do a dot tel Search! Search for your own DotTel. First Search just by name. Then try DotTel411 and just search for words that describe your product or service. Does your Tel Search still show your DotTel when other words are used? If so, great. If not, then it might be time to carefully plan what you want to say on your DotTel so that it will show up in searches.

Good Luck, Good Fortune, and Happy DotTel’ing…

Making Qualified Industrial Connections with .tel Technology

The burgeoning .tel technology is revolutionizing communications by simplifying access to a full array of company contact information, including switchboard, SMS, mobile, fax, email, VoIP, premium number, call center, interactive voice response system, websites, and geo-locations. Putting this contact information virtually into the hands of buyers, .tel allows buyers to download seller contact information into their contact manager or mobile phone and even place a call with a single click.

Industrial Web Search takes the concept a step further by making .tel relevant to the industrial marketplace. Purchasing Agents, Plant Managers, Researchers and other company representatives assigned the task of finding a company to manufacture or supply a product or service now have a way to make contact as quickly and as easily as possible with a company that matches their search criteria.

Based on the principals of the user-driven Web 2.0, Industrial Web Search provides qualified contact matches by bridging the gap between how a buyer searches and how a seller refers to what he offers. A seller characterizes his contact information by associating descriptive tags, which are words and phrases that he feels accurately represent what he has to offer. As he is assigning these tags, the search tool provides suggestions based on search terms typed in by users, allowing him to learn and immediately incorporate the language used by his potential buyers to find him. This allows for the strongest match possible between seller and buyer, increasing conversion to sales opportunities for sellers while providing buyers with contact information for a viable source.

The beauty of Industrial Web Search and .tel technology is it doesn’t require you have a website, although we recommend you have one. Unlike traditional search engines and directories, it is not controlled by categories and sub-categories or a mysterious, ever-changing algorithm. It is 100% user-driven!

Effectively Route Customers to appropriate Departments and Locations

YourCompany.tel allows you to easily route customers to the department or location of their choice using a quick and intuitive navigation structure based on innovative DNS technology.

Incorporate Premium Numbers for Voting and Betting Services

A business could use their .tel to easily set up, integrate and manage time-sensitive tasks such as SMS voting for a favorite TV reality show (i.e. American Idol) with one-click functionality. Viewers could use the choices under the .tel to vote for their favorite celebrity.

Drive Traffic to E-commerce Storefronts

A business could use the .tel to offer storefront services and collect micro-payments for downloads, products or services. For example: a celebrity fan club site can provide news, chats, or downloadable mobile content such as MP3s or ringtones.

How is .tel different from other TLDs?

Existing Top Level Domains

All existing Top Level Domains (e.g. .com, .net, .org, .fr, .mobi…) serve the same purpose: they map domain names to web sites, as shown below.

* When you input a traditional domain name, www.ExaBytes.com.my, into your browser, it queries the Domain Name System (DNS).
* The DNS replies with an IP Address, 210.48.145.171.
* Your browser uses the IP address to locate Exabytes website.

.tel Domain Name

The .tel has a very different purpose. It maps domain names to contact information and keywords stored directly in the DNS, enabling companies to use the DNS as a data store, as shown below.

* When you input a .tel domain, Hertz.tel, into your web browser, it queries the DNS.
* The DNS does not return an IP Address as with other domains. Rather, it returns the contact information and keywords that Hertz chose to store directly in the DNS.
* You can then click on one of the contact details provided by Hertz (tel, email, skype, etc…) and be immediately connected.

.tel domain name registration around the corner

ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers has approved the creation of a new Top Level Domain (TLD) for use on the Internet – .tel. The new domain name is aimed primarily at telecoms providers. The .tel domain name was approved by ICANN on May 2006 and it is sponored by telnic. The .tel is a service that allows individuals and businesses alike to store and manage all their contact information and keywords directly in the DNS without the need to build, host or manage a website.

The idea is for people to use .tel domain name as a way of communicating directly with the person or company behind a particular Web site, using technologies such as voice over Internet Protocol, e-mail or Short Message Service (SMS). Telnic used some examples of the domain name like: OdurindeLuqman.tel or VelnetWeb.tel.

“The .tel domain name offers the first genuinely different use of domains since .com was first created. It will provide seamless integration of existing methods of communication, with emerging technologies like voice over IP,” Telnic’s chief executive, Khashayar Mahdavi, said in a statement.

“The days of needing to remember several telephone numbers, numerous VoIP or instant message identities and other points of contact for our social and professional networks are over. By leveraging innovative DNS (Domain Name System) technology, the .tel domain will allow anyone to publish and control, in real time, how they can be reached,” Mahdavi said.

Dottel Monetizing Tips

The following list gives you a few ideas on how you can monetize your .tel domain name:

1. Increase Search Engine Optimization (SEO) – .Tel content is fully structured and published on the domain name server (DNS) rather than the World Wide Web. That makes it easily read and indexed by search engine crawlers, strengthening your presence in search results. This important SEO tool can help drive traffic to your Web site and may result in increased sales.

2. Attract Advertisers with Generic Industry Names – Register a generic name like hotels.tel, plumbers.tel, insurance.tel or locksmiths.tel, and you can create a revenue-generating directory. Each .tel domain name may have multiple sub-domains that allow navigation to local providers and specialists who may want to advertise on your site.

3. Collect Micropayments from Mobile Devices – Use your .tel to offer storefront services and collect micropayments for downloads, products or services. For example: a celebrity fan club site can provide news, chats or downloadable mobile content such as MP3s or ringtones.

4. Incorporate Premium Numbers for Voting and Betting Services – You can use your .tel to easily set up, integrate and manage time-sensitive tasks such as SMS voting for a favorite TV reality show (like American Idol) with one-click functionality. Viewers could use the choices under the .tel to vote for their favorite celebrity.

5. Market to Mobile Users with Vanity Name Numbers – A .tel domain can follow the same model as vanity name numbers such as 1800-Flowers.tel, 1800Lawyers.tel, 1900VoteNow.tel. Use these names to draw mobile customers with easy-to-remember domain names.

6. Publish a Global Directory Listing at a Reduced Cost – Companies spend thousands of dollars advertising in highly fragmented online directory services. The entries are expensive, restrict the kind of contact information published, do not allow live updating and offer local reach. By contrast, .tel provides a global online directory giving companies instant worldwide exposure. It aggregates all means of communication; allows unlimited, real-time updating and information management and increases search engine visibility – all without the need to build a Web site and for only the cost of a domain name.

One model for Dot-Tel Domain Monetization…

Sometimes technology replaces solutions, other times it serves as an augmentation or compliment to an existing solution. Sometimes technology creates its own categories and systems altogether. For those who are adaptive and creative, dot-tel is a diamond in the rough. It may not be obvious at first, but with the right cutting and polishing a dot-tel can prove to be a very valuable treasure.

Dot-tel domains offer a unique functionality. Dot-tel allows you to store contact information in a directory that is stored in the DNS. Dot-tel was structured around a very common application that has been around for many of the stages in the evolution of technology. The Directory Service has always been, and will continue to be a simple business model that can be applied to directory listings regardless of the delivery mechanism and dot-tel is no exception.

A directory generally consists of information listings that are related to a particular niche. A more general directory can have sub-categories to further divide the directory into additional niches. Directories can have paid or free listings. Directories can be free to browse or be subscription based. Many combinations of fee structures and directory models have been proven to work both online and off. It is only logical, or maybe even obvious, that the application of directory business models to the dot-tel frame makes sense.

Beyond the standard company listings for a dot-tel, a dot-tel directory could contain:

• Niche specific listings that are pay-for-inclusion based

• Freely accessible directories with limited paid placement or affiliate link placement

• Free-to-list/Pay-to-view directories

The success or failure of a directory is dependent on several factors, but a dot-tel directory offers some unique benefits that create the potential for setting them apart from others:

Directory listings that are useful
Dot-tel offers the leanest form of directory listing available. If the information contained within the listing is useful to the niche it is targeting, this is the most efficient way to present that information.

Interested visitors to the directory
ANY service requires visitors/customers. If a dot-tel directory has traffic, it will have value to advertisers. Traffic can be pushed to dot-tel directories in all of the same ways that other directories get traffic. Because of the efficient nature of dot-tel directories, traffic coming from a dot-tel directory should be very focused.

Advertisers willing to pay for listings and/or customers that are willing to pay to see listings
If your directory has traffic, advertisers will pay to have their listings displayed in front of those visitors. If your directory is filled with information that is of exceptional value, you may be able to charge a subscription fee to view these listings. Dot-tel directories have the features necessary, already built in, to facilitate these models.

System for Managing Friends and Limiting Viewers
Dot-tel has a built-in friend managing system so that a dot-tel directory owner can control who is able to view the directory. This enables the dot-tel directory owner complete control over who sees what parts of the directory. Subscription based directory services are essentially built in to dot-tel.

There are many possibilities for combining elements of successful directory business models and then applying them to a dot-tel based system. What makes dot-tel especially compelling is that viewers of the directory are not limited to web browsers. The directory is accessible to any device potentially increasing the number of viewers dramatically.

Creative developers have managed to create significant revenue streams using directory services for almost any niche imaginable using any technology available. A dot-tel directory can be managed and accessed by any device from any location, making dot-tel the most accessible directory platform in history. For those who question the potential for generating revenue from a dot-tel domain, the first place they should look is at the directory. This is just one dot-tel model full of riches waiting to be mined, cut and polished and more will definitely follow.

how to monetizing dottel domains ?

There are numerous business models available to you. Some of these business strategies are going to be domain specific and not easily transferrable to other domains. These custom business models may offer the potential for very significant revenue; however, we’d need to review your domain portfolio to make specific recommendations.

Other deployment models may follow predictable patterns and may be used across an entire domain portfolio. Below I’ve outlined just two of these duplicatable models;

We have a yellowpage-style model that is suitable for most domains. Each directory is populated with a niche-oriented list of businesses and becomes self-monetizing through pay-per-action advertising revenue. We haven’t publicly released the details for this monetization service yet, although we are currently working on deploying several hundred domains with this model.

Another popular route is the lease-a-subdomain model. It is only suitable for the more exclusive domains, such as certain services, vanity names or surnames. For example; let’s say you own a domain called pizza.tel. You could offer to ‘lease’ a subdomain for a fixed price per year. E.G. ‘USA.pizza.tel’ becomes your client’s permanent .tel address. You lease subdomains to multiple people at any price you think is fair. Some names will be worth more than others.
