Domain Owl

Arresting website design encompasses smart interface employment. Gestural interfaces allow for end users to get drawn into simple user paths for the straight line of interactivity to complete easily. This makes a fresh and natural change from many websites who seem to have split purposes for existing. Tablets, netbooks, and cellphones now have the capacity to navigate websites. This is actually and expansion of opportunity for website users and domainers, not less.

Virtual reality, voice recognition, handicapped friendly apps, mobile device readiness, even touch screen and scratch’ n’ sniff technology is a convergence towards use. Users with advanced sophistication galvanize towards applications that are fun and entertaining to use. Colors and boxes and shapes take on real value when connected to optional operations.

The experience of Internet interactivity, its appeal and its strangeness, brings together the user with the familiarity of the television monitor screen and the operations of a computer device. The newness of this experience can vary for computer operators. But the appeal of repeating it is the key that countless game inventors have mined for billions of dollars.

The true efficiency of a site, and the associated value of its domain, is the ease of its use and the simplicity of its path to its end use. Today’s Internet user is wise to ads, links, popups, and slowed efficiency. Design theory for websites should operate as a positive initiative, not a negative attempt to co-opt user resources.

If you want to make a website people want to come to and use again and again, make some parallels to your site click through navigation path and the mechanics of the game. Any domain name can be a brand and an idea synonymous with the interface experience the webmaster designs. Icons can signal desired motions required for the website to continue revealing information or helping the end user to find their next query stop.

Domainers who try to string end users along lose fans. Positioning the direct reason site users have for coming to the site as far from the landing page as possible is bad website design. Mining clicks does not bring more enthusiastic users. Task flow from the initial experience to intuitive click through should be more brief, and not hang in pauses of end user confusion.

The commercial services that function to bring revenue to webmasters reinforce the opposite.They reward longer visitor stays and extended site visits, when the mark of an efficient site is less time sent there, not more. But counter intuitive profit making ad engines aside, there is a fruitful purpose in making a productive, efficient, purpose serving website. The revenues and traffic should prove oif that is done correctly, and the estimable value of the domain attached will skyrocket.

A lot has been said about convergence, most of it centered around the internet and its ability to bring people and  dynamics together in new ways. but the intentional folding together of multimedia types , information, and a front end platform with optional browser participation is the ultimate in domain promotion and website architecture. Reaping the benefit of and providing avenues for online convergence is the right and privilege of any domainer with a hosting account.

Video is a popular application now being used on almost every website that can find a reason to put it there. But why host a video feed, and what does it do for the website’s profitability? There are now Internet browsers online looking for continuous video feeds and YouTube channels to run continuously about topics and items they care about. They want video, and they wants substance.

Websites and their formation were originally constructed around a central idea: the website should solve a problem. So the aggressive domainer-turned-webmaster should be looking for problems to solve. What is the most common problem we (and the people we know) are concerned about?  Tech glitches. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could quickly find a website with pertinent solutions to your device questions?

Go on a Google hunt for results and see how far you get. Due to aggressive site optimization, repeated terms for items like netbooks, air conditioners, remote models and even GPS devices may not be the right websites with the quickly accessible glitch fixing information. Even when the answers are located at the Microsoft website, the expectations on the consumers to absorb vast quantities of technical prose are unreasonable.

Consumer Reports polled 13,000 subscribers about tech gripes. Computer errors, cellphone issues, and incomprehensible manuals were cited as irritating tech errors. And consumers also complained about GPS, television and digital camera issues. Creative domainers and clever webmasters can achieve discoverability dominance in the SEO stakes by crafting websites that answer tech questions in the plain English normal humans use.

One year ago in Portland, Oregon, I was sitting in a bookstore  booting up my laptop. I must have pressed something unintentionally because the Toshiba laptop could not pick up any Internet signal. Polite laptop users at the next table allowed me to search Google for answers using my model number. No diagram to the “hidden” internet switch was found.

Just watching a video showing how to find a hidden Internet switch on a laptop can save a new netbook owner gray hairs. Only one website had a result for precisely this set of words. This information is nowhere in the manual, in no diagram, and frustrating referred endlessly in the “help” section as if the universe already knew about it. All gadgets have this risk.

Consumer Reports asked a survey group about frustrations with current and evolving technology and to report what their most common frustrations were. Some people actually consider tech reports, tech reviews, tech tips and tech solutions entertainment. Tapping that audience is key for the digital convergence domainer. Optimizing the site, organizing the content, mapping the feeds, and choosing the affiliates become very strategic and easy to plan.

Many domainers may feel like this kind of site is too much work to produce. They may weight the return against possible profits and suppose that no volumes of visitors will participate at the site can make it worth their while. But what they forget is that these users are looking for a site that shows them how to manipulate and exploit their consumer technology.

Graphics and animation, humor and tutorials, cheat sheets and step-by-step how-to instructions are very hard to come by in the dry, almost unreadable manuals available from the vendor. Even bookstore versions are hardly meant for quick reference and ‘fire and forget” problem solving. Massing links and organizing a directory to the best online solutions site could maximize a minimum domain name purchase outlay in a few months.

The downside of the Internet is that often the few who have no scruples don’t hesitate to exploit the online sale portal network when possible. It’s an abuse of the Internet age that sales of tropical birds, protected wildlife, and substances like coral and other natural flora and fauna are vended illegally.

According to recent reports, the Internet has emerged as one of the greatest threats to rare animal and plant species, fueling the illegal wildlife trade and rare substance market. From medical uses to ornamental display, the Intenret has made it easier to buy everything from live baby lions to wine made from tiger bones.

A body of concerned conservationists and law enforcement officers made statements to the media Sunday. But for a long time the domaining community has known that rogue vendors and scammers are a  law unto themselves. Even hosting companies allow a 30-day disconnect when notified of such illegal material sales.

The Web’s impact was made clear at the meeting of the 175-nation Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, or CITES. Delegates voted overwhelmingly Sunday to ban the trade of the Kaiser’s spotted newt, which the World Wildlife Fund says has been devastated by the Internet trade. Iranian newts have been sold so volubly online their number has shrunk to one fifth its natural population(200).

“The Internet is becoming the dominant factor overall in the global trade in protected species,” he said. “There will come a time when country to country trade of large shipments between big buyers and big sellers in different countries is a thing of the past.”

What happens when a country like Japan decides to cement its economy selling bluefin tuna and Mediterranean coral? The internet becomes a portal to vend goods in a manner that defeats ecologically sound practices and methods. To think that the Internet has supported tiger farms and tiger deaths because internet vending has encouraged tiger encroachment is stunning.

The IFAW has done several surveys of illegal trade on the Web and a three-month survey in 2008 found more than 7,000 species worth $3.8 million sold on auction sites, classified ads and chat rooms, mostly in the United States but also Europe, China, Russia and Australia.Many such sites, even Ebay, can let such forbidden or illegal sales through the cracks.

Most of what is traded is illegal African ivory but the group has also found exotic birds along with rare products such as tiger-bone wine and pelts from protected species like polar bears and leopards. Such sales often take place under false labels and mislabeled import statements.

A separate 2009 survey by the group Campaign Against the Cruelty to Animals targeted the Internet trade in Ecuador, finding offers to sell live capuchin monkeys, lion cubs and ocelots. Conscientious domainers should police themselves and support a community of moral and ethical trading and move toward a community of standards which voluntarily do not cross globally established cultural and natural species protection norms.
