Dot Tel Domain: Landing page for a (web) shop Monetizing your .Tel Domain: A Dot Tel Domain as a landing page for your web shop: mybusiness.tel --> eBay shop / or auctiva shop (linked to eBay shop) mybusiness.tel --> OsCommerce shop (free) mybusiness.tel --> Facebook shop (yes, facebook has a shop-option...) Example: About: Getting a web shop (that gets found): http://blog.puddleducks.ie/2010/07/2...facebook-page/http://blog.puddleducks.ie/2010/07/2...facebook-page/ Getting a web page, that gets found, and setting a link to your shop: http://puddleducks.tel/ Example for a shop: https://www.facebook.com/puddleducks?...7524185&ref=mf Conclusion: You can boost and promote your web shop: --> With a Dot Tel domain --> In addition to your existing web shop on your own website, you can link a Facebook-shop to your shop. --> Promote your web shop through Twitter --> Put the Facebook and Twitter links about your shop, on your Dot Tel domain --> By having folders for your goods and services on your .Tel domain, which have links to your shop And so: You can basically do online shopping via a Dot Tel domain. The Dot Tel domain, is just another way, to get found. The more cross- and back links, there are: The better . Dot Tel domains get best ranked in Google Search Images, rather than only in Google Search Web, which is a good reason to get a Dot Tel domain, and populate it, and use it as a landing page for your existing web site, respectively, web shop. About the Facebook shop: Surfers, will find you on Facebook, by an other procedure. Make sure, you offer a landing page for your shop, to cover all user habits and routines, for the following: Google Search Web Google Search Images Other social networking pages Nota Bene: It is easier for a surfer to find your Facebook-, or other shop, through a Dot Tel domain, than through your main and existing website. As the .Tel domain mainly has only links, and your website quasi only offers a link to your contact page, which must firstly be discovered by the user. Landing on a .Tel instantly displays all important links, including the link to your web shop, or your "brick and mortar" shop. You can easily set up your own (simple) web shop, and can have it easily found, and don't only have to affiliate with Amazon, for example. As web shops don't get as well indexed by search engines, as average websites, it makes sense to have a landing page for going to a web shop, or that it gets directly found on Facebook, if you either have your shop on Facebook, or only have your shop linked with Facebook (example "Puddleducks.tel). Either way, works well. The "Dot Tel shop landing page" has advantages over "direct access to a web shop", or a website with a shop-link. Chances, that consumers will find your shop by "direct access to a web shop" (indexing is less well working for web shops), or by a website with a shop-link, seem to be smaller than finding the shop by a "Dot Tel shop landing page", or through your Facebook page. And so, this is a smart way to do it: http://www.cakeinabox.co.uk/shop/pages/contactus.html Because this shop contact page has a .Tel page link for the shop: http://www.cakeinabox.tel/ However, the main web shop of "Cake in A Box" shows up first, in Google Search: http://www.google.ch/search?source=i...=&oq=&gs_rfai= But I am not sure, how well it would be doing, without its .Tel sister site.... Neither do I know, how much the .Tel sister site helped boost the main site... But let us say, that if users look up "Cake in a box Tel", they would be able to instantly find the telephone number of the shop, even on their mobile phone, if they have Internet access. Dot Tel domains offer a quick way, to find and access telephone numbers: Just add the keyword "Tel" to your other search keywords, and the contact page will instantly show up on the top of the search results. It's a no-brainer, if you know, that you can get fast access to contact info, just by adding another short keyword to your search keywords: "tel". Now you can imagine, that if users get this sort of search routine, than a lot of companies would register a Dot Tel domain, and populate it, for potential and existing customers to use and benefit from. It is a time saver. For both, company and customers. And it would be a win-win situation. . |
