Nowadays, it’s not uncommon to be able to buy a domain name for about $10 from a domain name registrar.

What you do after you buy the domain name is the 64,000 question, because most people have a tendency to not be entirely sure what to do next.

At a minimum, your goal should be to earn back your $10 domain name investment before you have to renew it again in about a year. This isn’t terribly difficult to do, IF you follow my advice.

1) You need to drive targeted traffic to your domain name. That’s critical. No traffic, no money. Sure, you can try to sell the domain name on an auction site, but it’s unlikely that you’ll find any buyers given the fact that you’re probably trying to sell a domain name that’s not really very memorable or notable.

2) Once you start driving targeted traffic to your domain name, you need a way to make money. You should setup a website so that whenever someone clicks on a link containing your domain name, the visitor is presented with relevant advertisements and/or a reasonably relevant product menu. This is typically what I do.

Remember, your goal is to earn at least $10 within 12 months, and that works out to about 0.84 cents PER MONTH!

Nathan Falkner recently purchased a decorative foil related domain name and is revitalizing it using the techniques outlined in this articles.

Every computer must have a unique number in order to work properly in a network or on the Internet. This number is called address because it makes possible for a computer to be found by other computers – ( like the human addresses! ) – and to establish a communication with them.

So we have IP address: Internet Protocol address. This number is in the form of XXX . XXX . XXX . XXX where XXX is an integer number between 0 and 255. ( DOTTED QUAD: four group of decimal numbers separated by a dot ). Computers don’t understand our decimal system but only electrical signals like on – off, so we must use the binary system (base 2 not base 10) where a number is composed by a series of 0 and 1. Example: 7 is represented by 00000111. Every binary cypher, that is 1 or 0, is a bit and 8 bits makes one byte. So 255 is,in binary,11111111. Since every group of the IP address is formed by 8 bits and there are four groups (or four bytes ), we say that an IP address is 32 bits long ( 8 x 4 = 32 ). Example 192.0.2.79 , in binary, looks like this: 11000000000000000000001001001111 Since there are 2 cyphers – 0 and 1 – it is possible to have 4.294.967.296 ( 2^32 ) of different combinations of addresses.

A very important question arises in the early stages of development of a web site – what would be the most appropriate domain name? Domain names are representative of the address for a web site, and there is a rising trend of incidents of disputes over domain name registration with increased usage of Internet.

There are numerous factors that have led to a crisis of domain registration disputes and this, in turn, has led to a rapid increase in the reported cases of infringement of domain names. Several companies have taken legal action against other companies or individuals over alleged copyright violation on the domain names.
