Geesh .. that's gotta suck. I've been online since 1995 and finally in 2003 I decided to register my name - and it was taken! Instead I went the other way, instead of choosing a .net or .info or .name etc ... 1800HART, callHART, HART-Empire, HART-Network, HART-Oscope .. and so on ... If you search for my name (even with out the initial) .. I've got the last laugh and all my sites shows up before the other guy

I registered my last name with a dot com but haven't done anything with it yet (lol I've had it since the mid 90's).

Amy, Although a dot-com is said to be the preferred extension, search engines take no preference. Your site comes up 1st on Google for Amy Weber

Hello Amy,

I love your website. I just bought two new domains. Do you have any suggestions for hosting services? Btw, my regular websites is www.sardamed.com. Its navigation friendly, but is in the process of a complete overall via my webmaster.

Thanks,

Well done Amy.
And I must also say vavavavoooom girl. Good God.
I am checking out your site now. Looks nice.

Bloggernoob yes Own the domain, exactly.
The entrecard I will sign up for later.
I think I was to sign up somewhere in blogcatolog and it must of slipped me
to do so. Thanks for the reminder.

If you read up in the Apsense link above my add clearly asked for your own website and you won't believe how many people tried to slip me duplicate websites like blogger/blogspot,squidoo and a bunch of others.

I just don't think they understand the word "OWN".
Next time I will try to use the words "OWN DOMAIN".

kab625

Hi,
I have a website: www.massageforadults.com

I actually have an SEO company managing the traffic issue. They maintain the site maps, codes and keywords making sure all is Google friendly.

I started my blog as another means to bring traffic to my site, but now it's turned into a bit more than that, at least regarding my time.

I use Yahoo Search marketing also for traffic and they've done a great job. I did use Google AdWords for a while, but they're really expensive.

I also think I would like to hire Clare and see if she could possibly "magnetize" some more traffic for me. (lol)

I have my own site and it is targeted partly to people in my hometown community.

This means many readers do not even know what a "blog" is.

So it all about being search engine friendly. registering with google and yahoo. SEO (search engine optimizing) tools are a huge help in gaining readers

I own my domain and hosting. The design is a free one I found somewhere, but it serves my purposes until I can come up with a unique design.

As to traffic, I get mine in a variety of ways: posting lots of comments on people's blogs, some from search engines, some from BC and other community sites like this.

Nice! Are your domains parked and actually earning its keep? I tried domaining but didn't have the skills to make a go out of it. Whenever I felt like I had a really great name and registered it - I just created a wordpress blog on it - to start and get some Pagerank onto it.

i own lots of cool domain names that are parked or for sale
im still thinking whats ill do with some of them leave them parked or do automated blog ? don't know yet

1/02/08

PetLvr

I don't think anybody really owns anything on the internet .. except the backup copy that's on your computer. At any time, the server can crash and you lose everything, or after your hosting term period is up or you forget to renew your monthly hosting cost - you could risk losing all your data from the internet. And, as well .. if you forget to renew your domain .. you could lose everything on the internet and someone else could take control of that domain.

So, when people say that stuff on the internet is up there on the internet forever .. you obviously know that isn't true.

Well, that is .. except for the wayback archive machine... www.archive.org/index.php

We are partners with a forum, that has it's own server.

flowersinmotionny.com
cafebouquet.com

and with a hosting on siteground.com we have
in the works
mamboinmotion.com
and which isn't active at the moment, but we own the domain
ilovethecook.com

we plan on opening an adult site, a pet site, a design site and maybe one more we're tossing about

our blogs are just dry runs at the moment and are hosted on blogspot, but expect to blog up with every site we have sooner or later.

I am really new to this whole blogging/internet thing...so stupidly I thought I did. I thought I had done this through blogspot. You know...create a domain and google hosts it. www.cravesfavsraves. Apparently google registered it (if I understand it correctly) and I'm just paying them for hosting...can't take it with me. Just figured this out today when I looked it up on godaddy...now I don't know what I will do...I'm certainly not going to bust my hump for years and years writing my little heart out for someone else to own the domain name.

Don't feel bad about the blogging/internet thing.
I too am learning all about this website and internet stuff.

The reason why I wrote this discussion is because I am finding more and more people are just not aware that there is a difference between having a squidoo, blogspot/blogger site and a owned domain name or owned website.

Hopefully others will understand the difference if they happen
to come to this discussion.

Hi there - I/we own:

www.fabulousphotogifts.co.uk - personalised photo gifts which is run by my partner Mandy.

www.purple13.co.uk - abstract digital photo art of Mandy Collins - a 'hobby' site which you can buy art online from.

www.abstract-art-prints.co.uk - a testing ground for purple 13 ideas

www.horsley-woodhouse.co.uk - a village community site that is pretty much defunct but good for back links to the above.

Traffic - the top two I do a lot of seo - social networking, blogging etc and we get nice steady traffic. A few of my blog articles have been copied or linked to from larger more popular sites/blogs and these always bring good traffic.

I design websites in my spare time - usually through recommendation - and have just finished a community magazine site for our area - www.allthingslocal.co.uk and we're currently optimising that ahead of issue 5 (it only went live 1st December 07).

artscapes

I own my own domain. I used to have three, but, I am reducing it to one as I phase out my graphics business. They all pointed to the same place for the last three years anyway.
www.artscapes.ca
I host my own blog on this domain as well using Wordpress software. What a learning curve for an artist! But it can be done. CSS is new to me as I did mostly print design and HTML. Nothing fancy! I had to hire out for programming... but now I think it's worth learning even for the programming challenged.
www.artscapes.ca/blog/

As for traffic, I used manly word of mouth and old fashioned networking when the business was running. I got enough from just that. But now, with Blogging it's a whole new universe for me - and what I have learned so far, is SEO and communities like this one.

Thanks for discussions like this!

I've been getting traffic the old-fashioned way, mostly. The vast majority of my traffic comes from google searches - I guess I have good keywords and dialed in on some things people would be curious about in comics. I also get alot of traffic from being linked elsewhere. I just started doing the whole social networking thing, hopefully it will start driving some traffic soon, too.

Yes, I own a .com site. I just got it a few weeks ago and I just put whatever up there for until I get a template and get it set up. At this moment, I have 159 visitors since I put a counter on there this past weekend. That's without advertising it one bit. Guess I chose a good name. I really wish I knew how to develop a good site for it. Right now, it's just down right embarrasing. Can someone help with it?

My blog -- www.mythphile.com -- has gotten about 650 visitors in its first month. I'm sure real gurus could do better, but that makes me happy.

For what it's worth, I've bookmarked 15 free SEO tools, articles, sites and/or tutorials which I personally have found useful, and which I refer back to whenever I get the urge to try and boost traffic. I've posted my bookmarks in a public folder here:

I own all my websites, using your definition.

My blogs, no: and right now I don't have the budget to do so. Someday, when traffic is high enough to justify the change, maybe.

I use 'SEO' to increase traffic: social networking (like this - it's a grand bonus to the good company); tightly-written content (for the most part, I hope), with keywords used - when appropriate!

Basically: Making well-designed pages, text-rich, well-written content.

I'd like to do pay-per-click, but that's out of budget now.

For that matter, I'd like to do 60-second commercial during the next Super Bowl. Not gonna happen.

Now, with an opportunity like this, I can't resist naming my top three websites:

* www.brendans-island.com/ (Brendan's Island - life in Small Town America)
* www.brianhgill.com/ (The Brian H. Gill Company's website, with links to everything else I do - and very much a work in progress
* www.minnwebwise.com/ (Minnesota for Web-Wise Travelers - Destinations and Diversions in Minnesota)

I own mine, but I don't do too much to get traffic. Some science freaks, a couple of nerds and a few philosophers, besides the good people from BC, visit it quite often. I prefer to pay for my site because, besides Tumblr, I don't like the free services available. This does not mean that Blogger and Wordpress blogs are not good, please... Some of them are really amazing, but I prefer total freedom to manipulate my code and my database. I also prefer to use Ruby or Python and there aren't free services for them (yet). Oh, there is Heroku, but it does not offer C extensions support.

[reply]

5/03/08

I agree humanmachine I actually do love Wordpress and own two beautiful themes.
Plus adding a wordpress forum on the site for traffic is one of the safest I know of and a smart move to increase traffic to the site but you got to be careful with forums as some are easier to crack and a hacker can get into your site this way.

I am a serial website starter. I think we must have registered at least 30 different domain names. Someone once offered us out of the blue $1000 for needyorgreedy.com. It was then that we realised how a good name could be very valuable.

We hire server space and park our domains on there.

I came up with the name wafflelogue.com after seeing a travelogue. Seeing as I tend to waffle on (this post is demonstrates it) I decided to make a wafflelogue.com. I like seeing just that name up there in the url space, without .blogspot or wordpress or whatever after it.

Yep, I own my own: www.HellaSound.com

Bought the domain, got the hosting, designed the site, built the site (using ExpressionEngine, which is a really fantastic, flexible tool). I'm also presently contributing to creating some the music we sell as well.

For traffic, I'm trying to get as much good, useful content up. I tried to code it so it's as SEO-ed as possible, and I'm getting some good love from organic Google and Yahoo searches.
I'm also making friends with folks on StumbleUpon, and am on Twitter all the time. Well, whenever Twitter's up, I'm on it

My overall plan is to grow traffic organically and as naturally as possible, and build links with sites where it makes sense.

Yeah, blackrussiancomics.com

It's almost a month old now, I get trickling (but consistent) traffic from webcomic directories and blog directories.

My main source of traffic has been youtube and stumbleupon. Out of the past 30 days, I've hit over 100 unique visits in a day four times (400, 180, 114, and today is somewhere around 200) solely because of youtube and stumbleupon.

dailywhispers.com --- I own the domain but have it hosted on blogger. I couldn't make up my mind yet whether to apply a hosting for it since it's going to cost more... so temporarily, it's hosted on blogger.

about the traffic, well, mostly I counterdrop ECs, that's what keeps my traffic increasing but its not that good since, I think more people drop and run rather than read the contents of the blog... I also surf some blog directories and find interesting reads, if I like an entry, I comment... some usually countervisit/countercomment

Beyond that, I don't do a whole lot of promotion. (I'm not active in the field anymore, and my current job doesn't require any self-promotion. (But you're all still welcome at my website. I stll update regularly, and my movie review blog is updated pretty much daily.

I own three different websites, I've owned my own domain names for nearly 10 years.

Best way to get traffic is hard work. Find other sites that you're genuinely interested in and comment. Join sites like this. Get your site reviewed on sites like blogged.com, join message boards that are on topics that you're interested in.

Really, you want actual readers and not just random clicks onto your page. That's what makes it worth while.

I totally agree with what you're saying here. I've seen similar blogs to mine that have more links or traffic in general, but I get a lot more comments and participation in my blog carnival, etc. That means a lot to me because I feel we've formed a supportive community.

It’s so cheap and easy to set up a blog; there should be no reason why anyone/everyone should not own their own site. The downside is it’s hard to get noticed in the glut. Divine intervention might help some sites. Is there a saint for bloggers?

Have you thought about founding/creating a blog carnival? Go to www.blogcarnival.com and check out the carnivals there. It's a commitment to maintain a carnival. But, a true carnival travels around from blog to blog, so you could have a different edition host each month. Blog carnivals have really helped me with my blog readership.
