Syndicating Articles for SEO

Writing informative articles and syndicating them over the internet is an easy way to get hundreds, or even thousands, of one-way links to your site, skyrocketing your search engine rankings. As your articles spread across the internet, more and more readers who find the articles useful will find and follow links to your site. You will become known as a leader, not a follower in your field, as your name and homepage link appears on hundreds of other sites.
Many webmasters have never heard of article syndication. Those who know about syndication often avoid it, thinking it is too much trouble, or that they have nothing to write about. Other might see no reason to give away valuable content for nothing. However, producing and distributing articles is not nearly as difficult as it might seem, and the advantages are many.
Creating Your Articles
If the prospect of sitting down to write a few articles frightens you, one option is to outsource the work by hiring a ghostwriter. Ghostwriters can be found by registering at www.elance.com ; or www.directfreelance.com ; and posting a simple project outline. Writers will bid on your project, and you accept the writer with the qualifications and bid that best suits you. If you go to the trouble of hiring a ghostwriter, it is probably a good idea to get them to research and write a number of articles, rather than just one.

Domain Resellers

If you want to enter the domain name market and have done your research you will realize it is very lengthy, relatively expensive and possibly technically difficult process. If you had done this around 10 years ago you would be laughing. Now the market is full of domain registrars so the best alternative is to become a domain reseller. Becoming a domain reseller is the cheapest and easiest way to go about it.
Domain resellers are individuals or companies who act as agents for ICANN accredited registrars. They buy domains at the wholesale price and sell them on to their customers. It is a bit like being a middle man for selling domains. You buy them from the DOmian company, then you sell them to your customers.
The best approach to go about becoming a domain reseller is to approach an ICANN accredited registrar which offers a reseller program. ICCAN are the international body that regulates the domain industry. Domain companies need to become an ICANN accredited registrar before they can sell their domains to resellers. Once a domain company has become an accredited provider they have access to lower cost registrations.
Once you have found a domain company which is ICANN registered you will need to have a reseller hosting account with a hosting company. You can then host all of your domains on that account as well as sell domains to other people.

Domain introduction

domain name is an identification label that defines a realm of administrative autonomy, authority, or control in the Internet, based on the Domain Name System (DNS).Domain names are used in various networking contexts and application-specific naming and addressing purposes. They are organized in subordinate levels (subdomains) of the DNS root domain, which is nameless. The first-level set of domain names are the top-level domains (TLDs), including the generic top-level domains (gTLDs), such as the prominent domains com, net and org, and the country code top-level domains (ccTLDs). Below these top-level domains in the DNS hierarchy are the second-level and third-level domain names that are typically open for reservation by end-users that wish to connect local area networks to the Internet, run web sites, or create other publicly accessible Internet resources. The registration of these domain names is usually administered by domain name registrars who sell their services to the public.Individual Internet host computers use domain names as host identifiers, or hostnames. Hostnames are the leaf labels in the domain name system usually without further subordinate domain name space. Hostnames appear as a component in Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) for Internet resources such as web sites (e.g., en.wikipedia.org).Domain names are also used as simple identification labels to indicate ownership or control of a resource. Such examples are the realm identifiers used in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), the DomainKeys used to verify DNS domains in e-mail systems, and in many other Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs).An important purpose of domain names is to provide easily recognizable and memorizable names to numerically addressed Internet resources. This abstraction allows any resource (e.g., website) to be moved to a different physical location in the address topology of the network, globally or locally in an intranet. Such a move usually requires changing the IP address of a resource and the corresponding translation of this IP address to and from its domain name.Domain names are often referred to simply as domains and domain name registrants are frequently referred to as domain owners, although domain name registration with a registrar does not confer any legal ownership of the domain name, only an exclusive right of use.This article primarily discusses the group of domain names that are offered by domain name registrars for registration by the public. The Domain Name System article discusses the technical facilities and infrastructure of the domain name space and the hostname article deals with specific information about the use of domain names as identifiers of network hosts.

Top-level domains

The top-level domains (TLDs) are the highest level of domain names of the Internet. They form the DNS root zone of the hierarchical Domain Name System. Every domain name ends in a top-level or first-level domain label.When the Domain Name System was created in the 1980s, the domain name space was divided into two main groups of domains.[1] The country code top-level domains (ccTLD) were primarily based on the two-character territory codes of ISO-3166 country abbreviations. In addition, a group of seven generic top-level domains (gTLD) was implemented which represented a set of categories of names and multi-organizations.[2] These were the domains GOV, EDU, COM, MIL, ORG, NET, and INT.During the growth of the Internet, it became desirable to create additional generic top-level domains. As of June 2009, there are 20 generic top-level domains and 248 country code top-level domains.[3] In addition, the ARPA domain serves technical purposes in the infrastructure of the Domain Name System.During the 32nd International Public ICANN Meeting in Paris in 2008,[4] ICANN started a new process of TLD naming policy to take a "significant step forward on the introduction of new generic top-level domains." This program envisions the availability of many new or already proposed domains, as well a new application and implementation process.[5] Observers believed that the new rules could result in hundreds of new top-level domain to be registered.[6]An annotated list of top-level domains in the root zone database is published at the IANA website at iana.org/domains/root/db/ and a Wikipedia list exists

Second-level and lower level domains

Below the top-level domains in the domain name hierarchy are the second-level domain (SLD) names. These are the names directly to the left of .com, .net, and the other top-level domains. As an example, in the domain en.wikipedia.org, wikipedia is the second-level domain.Next are third-level domains, which are written immediately to the left of a second-level domain. There can be fourth- and fifth-level domains, and so on, with virtually no limitation. An example of an operational domain name with four levels of domain labels is webpage-.sos.state.oh.us. The www preceding the domains is the host name of the World-Wide Web server. Each label is separated by a full stop (dot). 'sos' is said to be a sub-domain of 'state.oh.us', and 'state' a sub-domain of 'oh.us', etc. In general, subdomains are domains subordinate to their parent domain. An example of very deep levels of subdomain ordering are the IPv6 reverse resolution DNS zones, e.g., 1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa, which is the reverse DNS resolution domain name for the IP address of a loopback interface, or the localhost name.Second-level (or lower-level, depending on the established parent hierarchy) domain names are often created based on the name of a company (e.g., microsoft.com), product or service (e.g., gmail.com). Below these levels, the next domain name component has been used to designate a particular host server. Therefore, .wikipedia.org might be an FTP server,wikipedia.org would be a World Wide Web server, and mail.wikipedia.org could be an email server, each intended to perform only the implied function. Modern technology allows multiple physical servers with either different (cf. load balancing) or even identical addresses (cf. anycast) to serve a single hostname or domain name, or multiple domain names to be served by a single computer. The latter is very popular in Web hosting service centers, where service providers host the websites of many organizations on just a few servers.

Allowed character set

Domain name registrations have traditionally only been allowed for names that consist only of letters, digits and the hyphen (-) from the ASCII character set, as in hostnames. This character set excludes characters commonly found in non-English languages, and does not allow multi-byte characters necessary for most Asian languages. Internationalized domain names (IDNs) permit such characters and many registries allow such names as second-level domains. As of November 16, 2009, ICANN is accepting applications for IDN country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) that represent country-specific names in the language-native writing system consisting of non-Latin symbols. Such top-level domains are expected to be installed in the DNS root for successful applications in 2010. [7]Internationalized domain names are represented in the Domain Name System in the original DNS character set, uniquely transcribed using Punycode on a per-label basis. In applications, the IDN domain names are represented in multi-byte unicode, suitable for display of the native script to users. However, applications must be appropriately designed to use the IDN domain names. The infrastructure of the Internet does not require any modifications.The underscore character is permitted in names used in the Domain Name System, and is frequently used to ensure that a domain name is not recognized as a hostname, as in the use of DNS server records (SRV), for example. Other naming systems often used in conjunction with DNS, such as NetBIOS, allow it.The hierarchical DNS labels or components of domain names are separated in a fully qualified name by the full stop (dot, .).
