II Encuentro Domaining

Within days, next Saturday, 2 de Mayo is celebrated the second edition of the meetings organized by Domaining Francisco Santibañez in Valencia.

This event is international domainers and the involved people like Rick Latona and Daniel Drizek and this time will focus on the future of the ccTLDs and the future of the domains. Tv

Furthermore, this edition has the novelty of the conclusion of the Awards I Domaining, with a grand jury coordinated and chaired by Jordi Planas where I had the pleasure to participate with Felix Mezcua.

Although I've tried to go I will not be possible, but like me you can not go surely you can see summaries of the event blogdominios.com

I'll be on campus SeedRocket

In its early editions have followed from afar the campus Seed Rocket, perhaps because of that, and encouraged by some friends involved as mentors, when you approached me some dates to be one of them I decided and accepted.

The concept of mentor me a little squeaky, I can not aplicarmelo. Let's leave it at that I will be a collaborator and can give you my vision for entrepreneurs, it may on occasion even successful, especially something that I really like, you may learn a little more, understand their motivations and their project at first hand, not corseted one presentation, which are fine, yes, but also greatly limit.

Well, I said, the next campus will be the first to attend, will be held from 7 to 15 July and tell me they are seeking projects and innovative technology spreads, for example, applications relating to facebook and twitter, applications cloud computing base (type expandrive, ...), mobility (android, iphone, ...), technology-based applications (desktop soft. ...) and so on.

Mentors are:

and a server.

I'm curious to see the projects presented and to assess how far the crisis has hit the mark squarely in the entrepreneurial spirit. From what I have and I hope, will be about as intense and interesting days. I imagine that entrepreneurs will learn something, and I learn a lot more secure than both of them as mentors.

And you, Are you for you've given up already?

They say it any better ... the past was ever a phrase was as timely as this.

At the macro level and seeing what was expected yesterday in Spain in the International Monetary Fund (recovery not until 2011, and eye! Not say who will arrive in 2012 and a stage with 19% unemployed, ie 1 in 5 people), one need only look back to see how well we were 2, 3 or more years.

These numbers macro if you think carefully if there are things, small or large that change your life and work routine. This morning I remembered that no more than 7-8 months ago he received the order of 20-30 Business Plan monthly entrepreneurs seeking funding.

Reviewing some of them I see that many are in the state since then: the vast majority have not secured funding, if a small minority, but much less than expected, and very few have "pulled through the streets of the way" and have project since its launch.

If we were talking for months of back to the garage, and today many projects waiting for funding and that, I think that some people would have gotten under normal circumstances (though generally less so than their claims) are turning to project incubators ( will have to ride one!) that was a step that seemed forgotten or at least had a secondary trend as before if there were interesting amounts of money directly to projects Seed.

I see some entrepreneurs that have been released to the pool, who have risked and have bundled the blanket to the head with simple means. A romantic idea, but usually very difficult without a proper ho kno and an industrial partner. Lucky for them.

I see others who have gotten under the umbrella of an incubator, with a little financial support generally, getting to work and looking forward, however little and move the clock in search of better times.

Finally I also see others, some of which passed through my office and sold me his idea forward, and that they should have it largely forgotten today because some have found jobs and have forgotten about it or even otherwise, without having found their work directly forgotten.

I'm not one to judge these initiatives, each in their lives should do what interests you and find their own way, but it reminds me a bit to the situation experienced in the middle of Internet bubble. 1 year before saw with amazement as people left the financial sector bank where he worked and rode his startup, was a matter of money, yes, but frankly I think it was also a hot topic. All these people-and some more-left the sector with the bursting of the bubble. Now many others are also coming, some by more tangible opportunity outside, others simply because they have surrendered.

Why is this happening?

Because many of the projects that pass through my hands are intangible. We have an idea, we have an illusion and monetization "and will", "will be advertising." The "will come" is difficult, especially because you can not tell you there with the Venture Capital in Spain, does not work as in the USA or Northern Europe (capital little risk "pá" other, here you only buy a horse winner), and advertising can not yet and in Spain is even somewhat smaller on the internet.

It is time the ideas and sustainable businesses. It's time need not give you 100,000 euros to set up a startup, I think it is a time of natural selection, defined ... but mostly it's time to have a REAL business plan with an economic objective that allows your company is held by itself in the medium term and will not need to go to endless rounds of financing without meaning or end.

I kept thinking that you and inspire you as an example in 20-30 of international ideas without real economic model has been successful and are worth tens of millions of euros, that to you, and more from Spain, it will happen. We must find a coherent point, we need more sense than "be master of the world, begin to mount sustainable businesses with potential for medium term cash flow and be prepared for that if the situation continues to lack of liquidity can survive and move on .

And if you get it or you did it, let me recommend what Jesus says entrepreneurs Encinar acosejando very valid for 10 ideas to enjoy this situation without the "success? you can.

Yes.fm Fame television sponsors

It is very common for an Internet company to invest in television advertising, and sponsor a program, but it has been our case.

Yes.fm sponsored throughout the last week the reality of Four "Fame's dance!" Skirted advertising on prescription program and end of service by Paula Vazquez, who can see in this YouTube video ( last few minutes of it, unfortunately is a bit cut off the end).

During the broadcast Yes.fm became a hours to deliver content on a microsite created for the hearing of Fame, with direct relation to the content they were watching on TV, in order to maximize the results of the campaign.

She wanted to be able to see the impact of a promotion and traffic in our records. Programs that have a background of music, like Fame or Bloopers are an interesting target compatible with our product.

If you want to see what you have available from here:

A beautiful experience that has been very interesting

In the Gaceta de los Negocios talking about Web 3.0

I leave Monday for an article last week in the Gaceta de los Negocios. The text is titled "From Web 2.0 to 3.0. Internet welcomes Artificial Intelligence "and is written by Sea Eagle, who called me to ask me some questions included in the information.

The truth is that the concept of 3.0 or even the concept of what would be a website called by some Web 4.0 Total, is a recurring theme and be sure to have a certain amount of crystal ball. We will see over time where we're going, we are quite time with what we have above.

Where is the university? (in supporting the entrepreneur)

Displaying the American examples in particular, but also French, German, English, Japanese and Nordic countries, this morning I asked myself where the University is in Spain in the field of encouraging entrepreneurs and business being the quarry of new technologies. Push, formal finding industry partners to support and validate the project.

In a nice chat the other day with Raul Mata, the Ideas Factory Digital Initiatives told me over the Polytechnic University to encourage entrepreneurs and be a true incubator to validate research projects and technology. The idea seems exciting. But we are clear on this point in 2009 I find it striking.

I do not think that the best university you can move projects forward, better educated than the realities of building no. We can generate better or worse students measurement, but also could draw from the University (which for these things if they have sufficient means) batches of entrepreneurs and projects, they will originate from the university, there are shot and are validated and to be moving forward are interesting and have an internal support contacts with industry partners, business angels, business sector, with access to finance, and investors, but also with involvement of people involved with the university that serves as a filter and validation of the idea.

To me, if I get an interesting technology project, approval from a prestigious Spanish university, with travel within it, and having spent filters serious and moving forward with a veneer of viability, that would encourage me more to support and invest.

Yes, I know that now someone is sending me email examples of universities that "invest" in "support" act as nurseries etc. But let's be serious, not budgets that often end up where ever, let's create and draw businesses really. Is it feasible that within the University has supported projects that grow from the faculty as a nursery and out of it?. Do you know any case?

Any business angel involved with any public or private university in the second phase project to support and validate her? . Any instance of Internet and technology project that has won out in the university? Eye, and I mean not created by academics, but being born from the same university as an umbrella for support.

Entrepreneurs at the University, do you see as possible and seek support for embryonic business initiatives within it?. Or just kicking in the street outside this alternative?

"There are few cases or am I missing something?. If the new Google has not been nurtured in the halls of Stanford, but in the Complutense anyone would have supported? Or a heater would have been more than a few students who remain in nothing .

Lately I have the "ass pelao" already verBusiness Plans. None has ever been sent to me directly or indirectly by a university. None of which reached me via other means has had never supported or has been endorsed by any university or public or private. We limit ourselves to go to college when we are invited to give a talk, or that the real issue is bidirectional proactive as it should.

In my view, here, there's something wrong.

Domain Parking, a reason to avoid it

I will not discover anything new, but perhaps if they can stage a graphically or domain expertise that we use after a brief spell in domain parking.

I doubted very much if you have not used the domains parked. Especially because as I've said on occasion the idea of our domain portfolio is not for sale, but development. Of course if it could offer a good value on sale, but that's not the idea.

We currently have about 600 to 800 domains parked at SEDO. That causes us that while "asleep" can access the advertising revenue based on their typeins. These are very low income, who is curious to tell them that the type of DKK 400-500 a month but not much else. It is also true that other providers apparently reversed over by the parking of domains that I use, or at least people I know working with other companies are happier.

I know there are people who specialize in parking, buying domain names like portals and / or trade marks and economically exploited phenomenal www.twiter.com eg with a "t" yutube.com and stuff ... I have seen cases of 300 and 500Eur daily advertising in these cases in the U.S. but that's not our business, we have never registered such domains, we recorded only generic poderles interesting to use to generate content.

For the past few months Google has released Adsense for Domains without asking for a minimum volume. That would suggest that no great logic to work with intermediaries that ultimately what they are resellers and distributors is Adsense. Most of all laziness logic is not to move and take care of DNS hit hundreds of domains, although DNS move and generate your own system of parking fines can make massive escape with the domain parking.

But the issue of income from domain parking is not what I wanted to try, which I'm digress!. What I wanted to address is the issue of the positioning of a domain that has been years or months "parked" and your problem is not already listed, but in answer queries according to their potential.

It is clear that search engines penalize this kind of parked domains, and there are times when Google keeps for a long time despite no longer be parking. Lasts 4-5 months in starting a project that has produced the best 100EUR in 2 or 3 year parking is ridiculous. Not worth it and usually when we're in that situation thinking "why do not I shall have parked rather than offline!".

I insist that there are times that decriminalization is rapid, and in 3-4 months and start going out in search. This graphic is a domain that for 3 years has been parked. In January 2007 we started to generate content and kept in daily visits 1xxx. 6 Months later, in June and we are alarmed that despite our efforts to remain in that range and not grow, noting that traffic flow was minimal seekers search and testing we saw that our position existed but was suspiciously bad for the potential we had. The domain had PageRank, was indexed, but not responded well to the searches.

Through Webmaster Tools (increasingly useful tool) contacted Google in early July 2008. I saw no reason for any penalty is as if he "had been engaged" in their status before and the parking we have weighed up 6-7 months later.

Google does not respond almost never guess it is easier and more convenient not to, but as you see in Figure 1-2 weeks later followed with the same domain indexing, PageRank and the same content, but began to answer queries by multiplying x5 and x10 its traffic flow of traffic from Google. It is as if they had tied with pedals, and have hung letting fly.

They lost 6 months of normal behavior, time and resources for analysis, testing etc that have brought us, does that for me is not worth leaving things in a domain parking. These "penalties" may take 2-3 months to jump normally, but sometimes elongate and despair as in this case.
