by Jake on Jan.11, 2010, under News
DotJake.com: When most of us develop our domain names, we like to focus on our keywords, and other SEO tricks. While these are indeed important, it is so much more important to write great content that will help someone, not just your search rankings.

Follow Your Own Advice
by Jake on Jan.09, 2010, under News
DotJake.com: I often find myself giving advice to others. I do it through forums, through my blog, and when I talk to business owners around town. I love helping people out with their websites. But more and more, I notice that I am giving great advice, that I don’t follow.

Great Way To Invest Your Profits
by Jake on Jan.07, 2010, under News
DotJake.com: I’ll be completely honest. Most of my websites don’t earn much revenue. After all, I’m fairly new at developing my domain names. However, I managed to sign an advertiser for $30 a month on one of my sites today.

Use A Contact Form: You Never Know What Could Happen
by Jake on Jan.03, 2010, under News
DotJake.com: All of my websites have a contact form. Every single one of them.
I don’t get emails from most of them, but when I do, it’s usually worth my while.
On DotJake.com, I have gotten thanks, suggestions, and advice from fellow domainers. I have also gotten a fair amount of business leads, whether it is consulting, web

DotJake.com: Today, I accidentally stumbled upon an available .org, that defines the category of a virtually untapped market. I won’t go into too much detail, because I don’t want to give up my secrets just yet, but that will come in time.
