Domain Dashboard Review

Domain Dashboard is a multiple website management tool created by Jared Croslow.

Croslow says he originally created the software to better manage his own growing portfolio of websites.

"I create hundreds of websites each and every month and as the number of my websites increased, keeping track of all the related website statistics, FTP and login details and other domain data just became too much," Croslow said. "It got to the point where it seemed like I was spending all of my time on these tedious tasks instead of on growing my business."

After the program worked so well for him, he decided to add even more features and make it available for a limited time to Internet entrepreneurs and webmasters worldwide.

What It Does …

Domain Dashboard is designed to help users automate the management of their websites while also streamlining their business and maximizing their profits.

The software does all of the following:

-Works with both WHM Accounts and cPanel Accounts
-Automatically pulls all add-on and subdomain details from a server
-Lists all servers, domains and subdomains in tree view
-Tracks backlink and pagerank stats
-Filters stats and exports stats to a multi-page Excel file
-Creates domain reports and statistical charts which can be saved as PDF files
-Boasts a keyword manager that associates a keyword list with a domain
-Determines if a site is ranked in the top 50 results for any terms in a particular keyword list.
-Grabs keywords and keyword phrases from awstats and automatically adds them to a keyword list
-Can create in mass add-on domains and subdomains
-Automatically sets up FTP access for all domains
-Allows users to access domain files with the click of a mouse.
-Boasts mass FTP with Auto CHMOD
-And much more

Who's It For …

Domain Dashboard is ideal for both beginning and experienced Internet entrepreneurs who are feeling frustrated with how long it's taking them to manage all of their websites each week or who are now finding checking their website statistics, staying on top of login details and keeping all of their various keywords straight to be unbearably tedious.

It is also perfect for anyone who wants to spend more time working ON a business instead of IN a business.

The software is easy to use, includes an intuitive user interface and is multi-threaded for speed.

But Does It Work?

Croslow says the program is responsible for a great deal of his recent online success and is so sure that it will work for others that he offers a 56-day, unconditional, 100% money-back guarantee.

He also has on his website numerous testimonials from satisfied customers.

While in the end, only you can decide whether this software is really right for you, it does appear that if you are an Internet entrepreneur with multiple domains who wants to begin to effortlessly manage all of your websites, while keeping track of everything from pages indexed to keywords, and while freeing up your time to generate even more revenue … Domain Dashboard could be just the software you need!


Eight Reasons To Bring You Success

It must be coming up for nearly 15 years since the Internet was officially launched and would you believe that there are still certain marketing guys out there who just don't grasp the importance of a private domain name. As though it was just a matter of putting a site together with some good content, starting up a blog, creating a few links and creating a couple of camtasia vids. Right, that is going to really help Google pick us out from the rest, although of course it would be nice if that were the case.

Some people though are just born lucky and will manage to get credibility from Google and make it to a number one ranking. It may seem all rosy at the beginning as the site gets regular traffic, the mailing list grows and branding projects put into place. Now the problem with a poor generic keyword domain at this stage is that a poorly created domain name just won't stick, people forget it if it is not related to your particular niche and the negative turn begins.

Back in the .com era you may recall the case of Quokka.com who went on to finance an over the top publicity campaign with their unfortunate investors money totaling millions of dollars. I find it just amazing how people could believe in a poor domain name. You could probably recall this incident if you thought hard enough.

Anyway, if you were sick or on leave or something these guys running Quokka.com were actually branding their domain site at the action sports fans and quite happy to spend top dollar. They were obviously blind or something but they aren't alone as there are so many people that invest in domain names that just aren't relevant to their product. That really is the key to success, it is a domain name that has been made to fit the product.

I really would have thought that having such a great publicity budget they could have bought a better domain name like actionsportclub.com or something close to that. They were absolute twats but fortunately for us we know a lot more now. The most beneficial side of keyword domains is best expressed through the following points;-

1. Make it bleeding obvious what your domain site is promoting so for example a site dedicated to pest infestation would do well with a name like killrats.com and I guarantee traffic will come.

2. A golden rule is business is to pay attention to your competitors and with domain names you have the advantage with absolute keyboard control. You can just block out competitors as they are forced to pay big bucks for secondary keywords as you have the top keyword in your own domain name.

3. This is where we begin to see the importance of branding as there is part of the consumer society that won't buy anything else but brand products from Generic keyword domains. So straight away we will have part of the consumer society just queuing up to get our product.

4. Type-in traffic gets benefits: The majority of keyword domain names will receive regular traffic but a few do really well out of it receiving literally 100s of daily visitors. An interesting fact at this point would be to let you know that people who use their address bar instead of their search bar to navigate on the web will be more likely to buy, so your conversion rate will be given a helping hand.

5. Google, Yahoo and most search engines will help their users by sending them to pages that are relevant to their search so the keyword "digital cameras" would probably find the domain name digitalcameras.com on the first Google page. This type of traffic generation will literally bring in thousands of visitors to that domain name site.

6. Park your domain: If you want to hold on a bit before you develop the site there is no need to worry as there are plenty of different ways to reap high benefits from a good generic keyword domain.

7. A safe investment: It has been seen that over the last few years generic domains as an investment have had better results than even the stock market, real-estate, bonds, and overall inflation. Presidents of major companies are now just seeing that the power of a generic name has converted it's role in marketing into being the backbone of companies that seek continued growth.

8. Virtually cost free: The price for the domain is just $10 per year so you will soon be dreaming keyword domains... - Domainers only need concentrate on generic keyword names and push to one side fad offers such as LLL.coms, brandables, and numeric names. These may appear to be attractive offers but they lack in "real word" staying power.

These alternative investments just don't toe the line with generic keyword domain names as they just don't have any keyboard power, so just blank those other alternatives out of your mind.
