Privacy Domains Hot

It’s always a good day to spin a new domain name out of trends, news, technology and consumerism. To be frank, I’m talking about domain names having to do with personal security, surfing privacy, identity theft and online malware and hacker attacks. In the online web browsing Internet surfing world we live in, awareness and proactive suppression of massive attacks on computers and directory process files is necessary.

Bots and rootkits and seeded access triggered malware is legion. Just going online without a security software screening network access, anonymous remailers, and fast-scanning device defenses is taking your computer’s productivity into your own hands. Identity theft and phishing, password scraping and bot attacks make the servers CnC smoke every minute. Adobe software and sites like FaceBpok face huge security threats from hackers.

Bot, script, host, server, secure, privacy. These are viably searched keywords and terms every curious Internet user will be checking out. Discoverability for security keywords is high. These dynamics and trends are ones that every computer owners or technology consumer wants to know more about. Identifying a term and making a website from a keyword domain involving security and/or privacy is a good idea right now.

Bots are a term most every computer user has heard of, but rarely knows what they are and what they do. Positive bots search the web for certain instances of code and keywords. Bots work for search engines, scrubbing down sites for data particles and relaying wanted information about the site. Reviews of anti-phishing and password detection products are in high demand form the search engines. This is the recipe for a great site.

Negative instances of bots are involved in the malware activity indicated. Command and Control servers govern bot activity once resident on host computers. Bots can report back when the active user is triggering sensitized processes and executing key target actions, like logging into a bank or accessing a secure government server. Just streaming a video from a site can infect the device via bot infection.

Malicious scripts, codes and hacks are are present on every computer currently than most owners realize. The active browser can screen several onclick or onload video actions and get clickjacked into popups or new windows. Bots such as Conficker and Storm can get loaded on the administrator’s or the PC user’s next startup routine. Malware can lie fallow in the background, collecting and reporting site and operational user data for future hacking use.

Free resources like Bothunter and others can slow or halt the incidence of server side or resident PC malware instances. Software such as anonymous remailers can utilize group network resources for shared bandwidth on an anonymity assured basis. Internet browser project teams and companies patches are constantly addressing these newly reported threats. But end users researchers are not the only web browsers whose inquiries heighten discoverability revenue opportunities.

Companies now use massive software arsenals to mount security campaigns against users who violate the company Internet policy. Simply by visiting suspect sites, these data scripts, malware instances and net bots can access browser cookie files, history and drive processes. Exiting personel, bitter employees, disgruntled workers can get sloppy or careless and bring down an entire system. These managers and IT staff browse the web constantly looking for security and privacy sites with good information.

Why shouldn’t it be yours?

Google Provides SEO Inspiration

DomainOwllogo

Google is often regarded as the mountain domainers aspire to ascend. But a secret few domainers realize anymore is what a valuable research tool Google still is, especially for domainers. Finding new avenues to promote a domain can start by reviewing where the domain link already exists, and what other information is attached to that link.

Got a domain? Try Googling it.  This is pure web research that cuts to the heart of any domain. The resulting cache of sites and listings for the domain name should provide ample ideas for linking, bookmarking sites, and publicizing other names in  the webmaster’s domain portfolio. Yes, it’s as old-school as it gets, but try it. Domain research can still yield new ideas and concepts. Google your domain. See where that query leads.

I Googled Domainowl.com and got a result at something called RankArea.com. The entire database record for my domain name was blank, but there was a sweet index of compiled DomainOwl Tweets and posts.  Maybe they need a prodding via email to complete this listing? This makes a nice summary page in a broad prose format should I ever need one. RankArea could be a valuable link and a reference url. I bookmarked it.

I Googled DomainOwl and got a neat result that landed me somewhere called ServerSiders.com. They had a lot of information about the technical side of DomainOwl, and I made a note to keep this site bookmarked as a domainer toolbox reference url. I want to check out how my other domains are reported there. Here is the capsule summary they had online:

The site is using the Apache web server. The programming language used on the site is PHP and the main language used for the site’s textual content is English. The site was launched on Friday, April 9, 2010. Domainowl is using the javascript libraries jQuery, pngfix, WordPress Content and Wp-includes. The server that hosts domainowl.com is located in Wayne, United States. The server is located on the 1&1 Internet AG network. Domainowl.com is using Google Adsense for monetization. Domainowlcom is published using the WordPress blog software, which is written in the PHP programming language and uses a MySQL database to store its data.

By using Google to suss out likely sites using my domain, I also discovered more about the OWL ontology and vectors of owl based clipart. This is an improtant source of graphics for the domain webmaster hat I wear. When can you have enough owl based clipart? Answer: Never. Into the bookmark cache that link goes.

I also found out that OWL was a technical term of code used to format handled objects. I am not sure exactly what it means but having large amounts of resident text online in HTML that connect the word “domain” to “owl” can’t hurt. This entry goes into my tickler file for rainy day research. Thus the bookmark cache is growing for marketing related sites and ideas to market the DomainOwl stable of domain originated products and services.

Next top result was something called Listorious. I found it fascinating that there was a indexed entry of all current “echoes’ of the DomainOwl posts. Clearly you could scan Listorious and see where your posts are hitting online at one site, without even logging into your blog. There was differently structured entry for DomainOwl at Listorious:

Listorious says Domainowl hasn’t created any lists. But only do I intend to change that statement, but in doing so learn how I can populate the Listorious site reference for all my online domain sites. This was an action item that didn’t even exist fifteen minutes previously, but it will close a marketing loop in future, in a place where Domainowl already has traction online.

Fifteen minutes of searching sites and reviewing results, and a set of cached bookmarks to edit results and submit information to for all my domains as the material comes ready. Serversiders.com, RankArea.com, and Listorious.com were some of the top Google results with my domain searched. Enhancing those linked bits of site data can only help my domains stay SEO friendly in the long run.
