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.

Demographically Targeted Domains. It Works

Demographically Targeted Domains. It Works

Demographically targeted domain names serve a number of purposes. Here’s a list of reason you should be using these types of domains:

Laser like SEO benefits for the client
Relevant search results for the consumer. Google love this.
No shortage of names available.
No worries of “lengthy domains” or obscure domains
Instant recognizable to searchers
It speaks to exactly what they are searching for at the moment of the search.

So what does a demographically targeted domain name look like?

WacoOilChange.com
OilChangeInWaco.com
BloomingtonDentist.com
DentistInBloomington.com

So few people take the time to actually use this tactic that there is an enormous amount of traffic to be had by implementing this now. In addition to this, be sure to place the targeted keyword in your title, h1 and other heading tags. Once you have a domain selected, the next step is to submit this new business website and business name to the search engines. Got to the local business listings section of the major search engines and drop it in. Then go to the maps section provided by the search engines and enter the business and domain in there as well. Within a week you should see excellent results. Also, remember to link the site to other sites you have promoting the company.

How to get clients

Local small businesses increase their business by networking. That is to say they meet and greet a lot. Most likely, if you’re a young web geek, you do not belong to the many well established business networks in your town or neighborhood. In order to get on the radar, join the local business group but before going make sure you execute a successful campaign for one local business. You’ll then have proof of your SEO/internet mojo.

When it comes to web marketing, small business people know very little if anything at all. They are controlling and crabby at times and don’t like spending money. That’s only fair since they’ve taken the risk to start a business. This is why it is so important to already have at least one client whom you’ve helped in their market. Trust is the main factor. Making money comes second to trust.

You will fail. Fail fast and fail often.

Failing is the most important lesson you can learn. It breeds humility, causes you to recognize that you don’t know everything and will help you grow. So go ahead and try everything, you will fail and it will make you stronger. The more you fail, the more you learn and the more you will learn to avoid. So fail fast and often. The internet is great for failure since it allows you to do it so quickly and learn what to avoid!

Does Google have a problem with .me domains? ,starting a website for advertising

Does Google have a problem with .me domains? ,starting a website for advertisingjust purchased a domain but cannot start my website until Jan.  I have an existing adsense account for advertising on my existing website.  I do not advertise on my eCommerce site.  The new domain will be a sister site for my existing website.  Can I just use the new domain for adverting with adwords until I can officially set up my store?

Thank you I typed my web address previously in this forum to ask for help, the hyperlink, underline and blue text was removed from the published question of the .me domain but not from the .com domain. The .me domain, bought and hosted in UK, is an English-speaking site registered with and verified by Google. The content is similar to the .com domain which it is replacing. Google search box works OK on the .com domain, searching only that site. The search box doesn’t work on the .me site; it reverts the code to search

Google Adsense for Domains

admin    Google Optimization     Adsense, Domains, google

Adsense for Domains, what is it? Its a new concept for all of us but Google has just announced on their blog that they have launched Google Adsense for Domains to adsense web publishers in the USA and will continue to open the program for publishers in other countries in the near future. Adsense for domains is just another ad serving program for domains that are undeveloped.

Google provides a code that web publishers can add on their undeveloped pages or parked domains so that they may serve Ad’s, Links and Search Results on those particular domains. You may have heard of Google Adsense for Domains before, however, you may know of it by another name. This concept was rolled out before but it was known as Domain Park. In the past this program has been very controversial because it delivered poor quality search results and traffic.

Google has reworked the program and it seems that during these recession times they may be thinking of strategies to make more money.

Here’s a small list of what they’ve been recently implementing.

So many revisions to their policies that makes you wonder about the economy and the corporate strategies and changes taking place. Lets tune in and see how this pans out…
