Mike: Can you give a little background on your business? How long declare media, online, number of employees was, etc.
Joshua: in August, 2010 MWI launched a subsidiary called DeclareMedia (www.declaremedia.com), thousands of local business listings published. with only me and another employee work part-time on the project we have launched 2,728 individual directories, each in its own domain hosted. Have 631 listings with 5 15 listings being added every day.
Mike: How you invest in domain names in the business?
Joshua: A night in 1999 when I was a student, I needed to wash a shirt late at night and sought a laundromat. I called every number in the phone book but of course no one answered, and most have no kind of message.Those who have a message to specify their hours, or if you did but said they were closed. In frustration, I went, drive in the city in search of an open laundry, but could not find one.I think kept "Why it an online directory of laundries where I can and to see all of you in my area and see which, if at all, only so late open?"
I decided to start a laundry list and bought the domain laundromatic.com for the Zweck.In the next 10 years I hired programmers 6-7 and spent approximately 15,000 $, but nobody could it wasn't fehlerfrei.Es complicated but the people could I just set it right and every time I had to scrap everything and start over. Finally in this year I found the right programmer and he called it a month in life. At this time, the idea had expanded the tens of thousands of directories to a system, therefore, manage the investment I made in domain names could create.
Mike: What are some of the domains you have in your portfolio?How many domains do you own?
Joshua: Our focus mainly on localized domain names like www.bostonseofirm.com and www.findcaliforniaattorneys.net is, we have a number of national directories like www.seofirmdirectory.com www.mywebdesigncompany.com and of course, manage www.laundromatic.com.
Right now we own just over 3,000 domains, but this figure grows rapidly.
Mike: Can you share the volume of traffic that get your sites?What is your highest visited website?Are income generating?
Joshua: Total, our directories have received so far 10,945 unique visits this month (as of 25 October).www.utahwebdesignfirms.com the most successful directory certainly so far, although all our directories are only a few months old and traffic is growing rapidly.For example, the Utah-Web design company directory get 414 visitors all last month but is already up to 762 so far in this month.On the basis of the trend I expect to double traffic or triple in November over October.Every single location we have is traffic empfangen.Das sad thing is, some of you are getting pretty much traffic, but because so new, yet no one knows you about you and you have no items!If someone become the first company to list on those directories you would get 100% of the traffic.
The sites are income generating, but it's pretty minimal so far (about $2,000 in the first three months).Of course we expect something grow, but at the moment we are thrilled that each seen properly who spend what we know stellen.Wir nearby the business model work, we we have only our directories to the right people to erhalten.Aber in the directories that that we start a lot of time that spent marketing not so concentrated been.
Mike: To use a SEO background, what strategies promoting the sites in your portfolio?
Joshua: buy the correct domain and properly structure of the site template have the primary components of our success so far start war.Einmal attracts offers, this creates the unique content, the high rankings in the search engines cement wird.Aber we plan to create additional funds created for unique, relevant content on each site soll.Unsere entire business model depends on each directory ranking well on Google, so our focus.
Mike: Register all names hand or have bought some in the aftermarket? what was the process, you went through the to acquire them?
Joshua: All our domains hand registered wurden.Es was cheaper than the aftermarket, although in many cases we had when it comes, specific domains to gefährden.Es is amazing, both what has already been taken, and what is still available.
Mike: Are your domain names for sale?
Joshua: .we could rid some not starring in the future, but it is too early to tell, that will be the ones.
