About Us
What is the Domainer.com content network?
The domainer.com content network brings together authors of high quality, topical blogs with domain owners wishing to build out content on their high quality domain names. Bloggers who participate in the network will gain visibility and traffic through publication on premium domain names that already have traffic based on the generic nature of their names.
What do I receive?
Credibility
You and your blog will be associated with premium domain sites. We supply “badges” for each premium domain in case you want to show-off.
Traffic
All of your articles on the Domainer.com Content Network will advertise your blog and link back to the original article. These added links deliver readers interested in what else you have to say.
New Readers
Perhaps most importantly, you are likely to gain many new readers that may not have found you otherwise.
Money
If you monetize your blog, more credibility, more traffic and more readers on your blog leads to more money for you.
How does it work?
On which domains will my articles appear?
It’s up to you. Your content will never be published on a website without your permission.
What do I have to do?
Sign up and keep blogging as you normally do. So long as you are also publishing RSS or another XML based syndication format (pretty much any blogging platform already does this), we will periodically download your feed into our network. There are ways you can help, such as tagging your entries with appropriate keywords, but once you sign up, you should continue to concern yourself with what you do best: producing quality content.
How do you handle attribution?
We take important steps to inform both readers and search engines that your post and its address are the authoritative source for your content.
- The name you sign up under in our system appears as the author of the post
- An “originally published at” link lists the URL of the original post, which also links back to the post
- Inside the HTML we wrap the articles in a <blockquote> tag with the “cite” attribute listing the original page of the blog post. Eg:
<blockquote cite="http://www.yourdomain.com/your_article_address.html">
Sign up and terms
Who owns my blog?
You do. You are granting Domainer.com a non-exclusive license to distribute your content on its partner web sites. You will have ultimate approval of which of these sites are permitted to use your content. You can work with other blog networks and enter other commercial licenses for your work. It’s your content.
What kinds of blogs are you looking for?
So long as your blog is well written and subject specific, we will find great domains to participate.
What if you don’t have a great domain for my content?
If it’s not in our network, we’ll try to get it.
What are the technical and quality requirements?
- Full text syndication feed available for our system to access
- Ad-free feeds
- Posting on a regular basis. A minimum of one post per week is preferred
- Posting of articles of a substantial length. There’s no requirement to write a novel every week, but consistent posts of only one or two sentences are not what we are after.
- No adult content and nothing that promotes violence or hatred
- No Spam! We don’t mind if you include relevant outbound links within your posts, even if you stand to make some referral revenue from the link. But excessive outbound linking to affiliate sites or linking to sites for the purposes of trying to manipulate search engine ranking will be banned from the network.
How do I sign up?
Fill out the form. Your blog will undergo a quick editorial check and ownership verification process and we will contact you with further information. Once approved your posts will be downloaded into our system on a regular basis you will be notified when one of our domains wants to use your content. It will not start appearing on a site until you have granted this approval.
What if I change my mind?
Log in and cancel your approval for your content to be republished. It will be removed from websites in our network within a day or two. Your account will remain active, but your content will not be published. If you wish to cancel your account, email bloggers@domainer.com.
Sounds cool, how can I help?
- Start tagging your posts with appropriate keywords to help us categorize your posts
- Tell other bloggers about the service
