The 100 oldest registered dot com, org, net, edu domains

The 100 oldest registered dot com, org, net, edu domains

Ever wonder what the oldest registered .com domain is on the Internet? After all, they haven’t always existed. In fact, it was just 24 years ago this month that the oldest domain was registered. It was www.symbolics.com, owned by the Symbolics, Inc. company who, back in the day, was a leading software development firm with software projects designed back in the 1980s which appear very much like modern software designs seen today. For example, they had developed a fully object-oriented operating system called Genera, which today still exists as Open Genera, for Alpha CPUs. Their domain was registered on March 15, 1985 — when the Internet was brand new.

Items in green denote current Top 500 ranking. According to Netcraft, there are currently over 216 million website names registered, with about 77 million sites being actively hosted. The rest are parked at their registrar (like GoDaddy).

Check out what www.apple.com looked like in 1997. And what www.intel.com looked like at the same time. Even www.sun.com from 1996 looks antiquated, and Sun Micrsosystems was one of the earliest companies to wholly embrace the web, even touting what has since become the idea of cloud computing back in the 1980s. It’s for real folks, the web has changed. It was a completely different place back then.

It’s interesting to note that when Apple launched its original integrated Macintosh computer in 1984, so named for a brand of Apple (McIntosh), the company did not yet have the www.apple.com domain. It would take another three years before they got that.

IBM Corporation, founded somewhere between the 1880s and 1924 depending on what even you actually consider to have been a foundational movement (most accept 1896), and the inventor of the original IBM PC computer with an Intel 8088 or 8086 16-bit CPU (limited to 1 MB of memory and 4.77 MHz clock) that had been on sale since the early 1980s, did not get its www.ibm.com domain until 1986, some 90+ years after first coming into existence.

It may be interesting to note that IBM’s earliest devices were mechanical tabulators using the Hollerith system for storing signed numbers on fixed-positional punched cards back when the company was called the Tabulating Machine Company (TMC building, 1893 picture). The tabulation equipment was developed by Herman Hollerith to improve efficiency in processing census data every 10 years. After being called TMC since 1896, in 1911 a company called Computing Tabulating Recording (CTR) was formed as a three-way merger of TMC, International Time Recording Company and Computing Scale Corporation. And on February 14, 1924, CTR officially changed its name to International Business Machines Corporation (IBM). Their most advanced tabulating equipment was used during World War II to keep track of holocaust victims, as well as for other Nazi uses.

Many of the domain names appearing on this list have since been moved to other sites. As such, many of them are still in existence, albeit under new identities. The list above shows only those in the Top 1 Million List updated daily by www.alexa.com with the same name today.

www.intel.com comes in at 1018 today, while www.amd.com comes in at 2001. www.sun.com (Sun Microsystems) was the 12th domain registered, just after www.ibm.com, and it is currently in the Top 500 at #484. www.hp.com beats them all as the 9th domain registered, and it sits today at #191.

The tops today are www.adobe.com at #56 and www.apple.com at #66.

Find Good Keywords – Secret Good Search Results Theory

Find Good Keywords – Secret Good Search Results Theory

Most articles focus on the monthly search volume on Google when explaining how to find good keywords for article marketing. Sure that matters! But without good search results for a given keyword, you might just be wasting your time. I’m about to reveal to you a secret theory about how to find good keywords based on a different way to analyse the results. Ok, it’s not really a secret… but you just won’t read about it very often.

Think differently, forget the numbers (a bit).

Ok, so what you’ll read everywhere is that to find good keywords, you need to make sure that they have a good monthly search volume (500 and beyond to keep it short) and look for exact match search results that are less than 5,000 (type your keyword in quotes). Those are supposed to be good search results and, yes, they are! It’s a “safe” number indeed. But here’s what I want to say (I’m warning you, it’s shocking!):

“The nature of your competitors matters more than how many they are!”

That’s it!

All right, all right…

Let me explain why the nature of the websites you’re competing against defines good search results better than the results number, to me at least (I’m just trying to convert people to this theory right now…). If you try to get your article ranked for a keyword, you benefit from the page rank and authority of the directory you are submitting your article to. But, if a website has your keyword in his domain name, Google will fell in love with that guy (you’re suddenly way less attractive). What I’m trying to say here is that, to find good keywords equals analyzing the search results, your real competitors! Good search results are basically results that:

do NOT have the keyword in the domain name
are articles like yours, that are submitted to directories such as Squidoo, EzineArticles, ArticlesBase (and others)
that do not target the keyword well enough (low keyword density)

You don’t need to analyze each website in an extremely thorough way, don’t worry. But the 3 points above are pretty important, they can help you see the difference between good search results and…scary ones. By analyzing the results, you’ll be able to find good keywords you can compete for that have a larger number of search results than 5,000. Indeed, some keywords have a pretty large number of search results but have competitors that can very easily be beaten. If one of the 5 first results is an article, go for it!

Who are the scary competitors?

Good search results imply NO authority websites. So basically, stay away from high PR websites,.org websites and websites that make you ashamed of your lil’ article… just kidding here. You can compete for keywords with higher competition if you analyse your top 5 competitors. That’s a fact. I have (among others) an article ranked 1st out of 4,800,00 search results! But don’t get too excited about it, don’t do risky things either but try this technique and see how it works for you!

Online Advertising on YouTube – 5 Essential facts

Online Advertising on YouTube – 5 Essential facts

Fact 1:
YouTube is not restricted to short-form user-generated content. Thousands of premium content partners, from Sony to Disney to Universal Music, and fans can find 100’s of full-length feature films and thousands of full-length TV series on YouTube. The world first of Joy Luck Club director Wayne Wang’s film, “The Princess of Nebraska,” was viewed 165,000+ times during the first 48 hours — the same as landing the 15th spot on the Hollywood box office ranking.

Fact 2:
YouTube videos are NOT poor quality or of poor quality. Full HD videos are on YouTube, already more HD videos than any other video website. Hundreds of thousands of HD videos are added to the site every month, and tens of millions are viewed every day. Earlier this year, CNET’s WebWare called YT the best HD video service on the web.

Fact 3:
Traffic, growth, and uploads are good for YouTube’s bottom line. There’s been a lot of speculation lately about how much it costs to operate YouTube. With turnover estimates ranging from 0 million to 0 million, and costs on an similarly large range, it seems people can pick any theory with any associated number they have about this business. The truth is that all the infrastructure is built from scratch, which means models that use standard industry pricing are too high when it comes to bandwidth and similar costs. YT is at a point where online advertising growth is definitely positive for the bottom line, not negative.

Fact 4:
Online advertisers are not scared of YouTube. Over 70% of Ad Age Top 100 marketers ran campaigns on YouTube last year. They’re promoted videos,overlays and bought the home page. Many are organizing contests that encourage the uploading of user videos to their branded channels, or advertising exclusively on popular user partner material (see Carl’s Jr.). Advertisers just want control, so YT is continuing to invent tools and targeting products that give advertisers more control over where their ads appear on the site. More will follow on that front soon.

Fact 5:
YT is only monetizing 3-5% of the site. This oft-cited statistic is outdated and incorrect, and continues to raise much speculation. In my view, the ratio is of less importance than the total number of monetized views, and YouTube is now assisting partners generate revenue from hundreds of millions of video views every week in the US (and billions across the globe), more than any other video web portal has total views. Monetized views have more than tripled in the past year, as they’re adding partner material very quickly.

Social Media Marketing Exposed – How Social Marketing Traffic Really Works

Social Media Marketing Exposed – How Social Marketing Traffic Really Works

The rising numbers of the online social media community is enticing. Business owners the world over are lining up their plans to tap into these numbers, all incorporating social media marketing strategies in one way or another. But simply jumping on the bandwagon is not enough. Knowing why social media optimization – a method in social media marketing – is valuable will go a long way in forming more effective strategies. There are a couple of reasons why they are important.

The first: linking. Linking is something any website owner strives for, whether you are talking about a personal blog – or, in this case – your business’ website or social media page. Social media optimization is one of the ways to promote what is essentially the act of bookmarking your page, so that it is easily accessed by members of the same social group. This translates to an increase in social marketing traffic. This association makes it easier for information about your business to reach members of any particular trade. Think of it as a sort of “word-of-mouth” phenomenon, only in the context of online socializing. People are more apt to click on a link that has been recommended by people who they share an affinity with (i.e. people from the same social network) than they would a random hit on a search engine. Linkages often set off a chain reaction, and the number of clicks a URL has will double up over itself, and more clicks naturally mean more traffic for your page.

That said, visits are not important in and of themselves. Which brings us to the second reason social media optimization is essential: the fact that it promotes people to stay and explore your page, as opposed to only looking at the main page. Social media page owners need to make sure that the content in their pages encourage visitors to actually browse through the site. There are various ways to make visitors more inclined to do this:

-          Providing user friendly navigation to make it easier for visitors to go through the site.

-          Offering ample and useful information, making sure essential details about the business and yourself is made known.

-          Offering personal information through articles, videos and podcasts about you to build trust and to give the message that they are dealing with an actual person.

-          Using designs that are pleasing and attractive to the eye.

A clever combination of any and all of these according to your particular business is a surefire way of increasing web traffic.
