    Lightbulb Owner of Texting . Com needs Advice

    Owner of Texting . com Needs Advice

    Hello, I am new to the forum but not the domain business. I can create websites and graphics, but by no means am I an expert.

    I'm really looking for an online Content Creation program that is free of charge or acts as an affiliate program.

    The domain is numeric and spells TEXTING on your phone. It is 8398464.Com.

    While in the process of creating just a temporary site, I realized how intensively in depth this domain pushes and how dynamic it needs to be for users. Without an automated content system it's just not possible.

    Without the help of a content creation program this project is far too large.

    I am looking for #1 an online content creation program and #2 a good affiliate program.

    I believe I have found a good affiliate with a company like Funtonia.

    Please help me out with a free online content creation program that you have experience with and affiliate suggestions.


    Thank you so much!

    Is this a joke? When you type those numbers in on a phone, the numbers do not come up, the letters do. Thus no one will type that domain in.

    What is more you cant just automate content, and make money. You have to offer a service, or information that is unique, or informative. As far as I can see there is little to no relevenat content for such a domain.

    JMO, Sorry

    Thumbs up

    You are wrong. You need to look at a keypad. If you were to type in texting on a phone you would spell it with that combo of numbers. Let's let the pros reply please and don't start flaming my thread.

    Anyone who knows of a online content creation program please reply.

    People have to push the number 4 times to get to the actual number when typing in urls on a mobile browser. Good luck with it...

    You have both over looked the question at hand and criticized the domain name. Obviousley you do not know what a numeric domain is. So cut it out. If you really need an example then go to 466453.com which is the numeric equiv of Google.com and is in fact owned by Google.com.

    You dont get the number game, I get it, so let's talk about website content??

    This is really a website content based question and this is the best category to put this question in. However if an Admin sees fit please move this thread to Gold Forums - Numeric Domain Discussion.

    Thank you.

    Wow, you're not going to get very far in this forum.

    I agree with the other 2, you're wrong. If I am using a web enabled phone to browse the internet, and I type out those numbers, it will enter the word 'texting' with predictive text. If I wanted to type 8398464.Com I would have to disable predictive text. If I wanted to type a number using tap text I would have to hit the button 4 or 5 times, for each number.

    Why do you need an affiliate program? Do you know what an affiliate program actually is?

    If you are looking for "a content creation program" you might be advised to do a Google search for "CMS" or "Content Management System".

    The "numbers game" was badly hit when the Chinese IDN characters were approved. It used to be the case that many in China would use numbers instead of letters for their domains. Now only very short numbers, or very famous numbers are worth anything. E.G. 1066, 2000...

    Hey, I have some advice for you - it might be an idea to register 8398464.mobi as you are targeting the mobile phone sector. Good luck.

    I don't think he is necessarily targeting the mobile phone sector and a numbers game. It is simply a numeric domain. I haver several mostly long numeric domains which spell out words and I never even considered use with mobile phones.

    Well, I was just joking about the .mobi, but I think he is talking about mobile phones as he is talking about affiliate programs with "Funtonia" which sounds alot like ringtones to me.

    Mobile phone sector, numeric domain, etc. I have the equivilant of the word Texting on a phone or mobile phone key pad. So it is a numeric domain, aimed at the Texting market of mobile phones. I also Have Text Msg, Text Vote and Text Chat. All in simple numeric form.

    Anyways I just need some content programs or ideas. While I was making the temp page that is currently up there I came across tons of content and many articles on how popular Texting is and placing a Text Vote thanks to American Idol, etc.. There are tons of gadgets, content and apps I can use on the page and smash it all togeather myself. But I am looking for something more advanced than a mashup, looking for something really dynamic.

    What kind of dynamic content have you used on your page?


    And thank you Trader, you know exactly what I mean about numbers that spell out words.

    Thanks

    lord, I got tired of the you're wrong, no you're wrong stuff.

    I have a phone with a keypad that I can enter numbers or letters into the URL without any problem at all.

    So why all the fuss?

    Good grief...you can even do it from the PC.

    As for content, contact the sub forum regarding site building. They not only build sites but could lead you to the right tools.

    Thank you for the reply. I am still awaiting an answer about a Content Creation program. As this is correctly placed in the "Content Development" forum. Anyone familiar with any?

    So to be clear, are you expecting the users of 8398464.Com to be typing it out on a PHONE, right? In that case wouldn't 898.com or 8398.com or 83987.com or 767.com have an advantage?

    Mclovin, of course they have a great advantage. Text and Texts in numeric are excellent domains of very high value and are registered. The actual activity however is known appropriately as Texting or Text Messaging.

    Anyways this is not a domain name discussion. I'm a bit frustrated that I've caused a stir (sorry) and can't get a discussion about automatic Content Creation.

    I'll try again later in another section of these forums,

    Thank you, Brian

    I think it's just the nature of forums to be a little chaotic.
    Always worth another try.
    Good luck.
