Debut of One Million Page Web Site

Onemillionpages.com makes its debut this month, featuring 1,000,000 unique web pages.

Provo, UT (PRWEB) May 26, 2006 -- Two Utah college students launched onemillionpages.com this month – a web site with 1,000,000 unique pages. Each of the one million pages is a distinct HTML file and contains facts and puzzles like trivia and sudokus. The site features one million anagram puzzles, one half-million sudoku puzzles and a half-million word find puzzles. The site also includes treasure hunts that guide you through some of the million pages with tricky clues.

In hopes of attracting 1,000,000 visitors, each page has a section reserved for a unique personal message. Visitors to the site can choose one of the one million pages to host his/her own message for only $1. Each message is reviewed to ensure that the site remains suitable for all ages and then posted for the world to see. This site offers the potential opportunity to view 1,000,000 different messages from people all around the world.

“It’s different than a blog,” said Jacob Jenne, co-creator of the site, “Each visitor only gets a few lines to say whatever he or she wants to the world. It’ll be interesting to see what everyone writes. I mean, what would you write for everyone to see if you only had a few lines?”

Interesting facts about this site include the following:
- It took eight days (24 hours a day) to upload all of the files to the host server.
- Although each page was trimmed as much as possible, the site still occupies almost seven gigabytes of space.
- It took over 50 hours of processor time to generate all the puzzles and pages on the site including computer programs written in three different programming languages.
- If you tried to look at all 1,000,000 pages at one page per second for 40 hours a week, you wouldn’t finish seeing them all for almost seven weeks.

Jacob said concerning the site, “You just don’t realize how big a million is until you go to the site and start clicking the ‘next page’ link for a few minutes.”

Nathan Jenne, co-creator, stated, “Something that you don’t see much anymore is online entertainment suitable for all ages. This site is different. There’s something here for everybody.”

LegalDirectoryServices.com Launches a Free Directory of all Attorneys in the United States

www.LegalDirectoryServices.com launches a free directory of all Attorneys in the United States. This easy to navigate breakdown of over 925,000 listings is probably the fastest way to find an appropriate attorney in any of all 50 states.

Westbank, BC (PRWEB) May 23, 2006 -- www.LegalDirectoryServices.com launches a free directory of all Attorneys in the United States. As a starting point we have entered the name and firm's contact information for all the legal Attorneys we could find.

The listings are categorized by Area of Law and then by State and then by City.

This easy to navigate breakdown of over 925,000 listings is probably the fastest way to find an appropriate attorney in any of all 50 states. We hope we have everyone in our directory - if not then an attorney may add their free listing to our directory at www.LegalDirectoryServices.com by joining our site at no cost and publishing their listing.

We have included as much information as we could to make the listings useful to potential clients and other attorneys who may need to refer a client based on their listed Area of Law and location. We believe that this valuable venue will enhance the business prospects of all attorneys as it provides even more exposure to potential clients than any local advertising could ever do for them.

If an attorney feels that they would like an enhanced listing that would move their listing to the top of our alphabetical list of lawyers in their city then there is a very low fee of $50.00 per year to have a "Featured Listing" at the city level in your area of law. This fee is used to support the costs of operating and promoting this free directory.

We feel strongly that our directory will be an instant hit with clients and attorneys as it provides a level and affordable field of both free listings and reasonably priced enhanced listings that each attorney can add and edit at will. We have provided security measures that ensure that only the attorney who owns a listing can edit their own listings.

Please visit our legal services directory at www.LegalDirectoryServices.com and see how easy it is to find an appropriate lawyer in your city. If you are an attorney then take a look to see if your listings are already in our directory. If they are and we have your email listed in the directory then we will be emailing you your login details in the next few days. If your email address is missing, you can register with us and claim your listings so that you can have control over them in our directory.

Domain Name One Auctions Sex.nr and Nic.nr Domains

The recent explosive growth in online business has made in imperative for businesses to own a top domain name.

(PRWEB) May 24, 2006 -- Domain Name One, a domain reselling company, is offering two of the most rare and valuable keyword names, Sex.nr and Nic.nr for sale on ebay.com (item # 9730403630).

The recent explosive growth in online business has made in imperative for businesses to own a top domain name. Global branding and the rise of the Internet have created a huge market of demand for good domain names. Unfortunately, the skyrocketing costs of premium keywords at the .com level have weeded out the small businesses, with small budgets, from ever owning a premium, one word name.
    
However, small business wishing to own a great, memorable name can now buy great keywords in more obscure extensions for just a fraction of the price of the .com version. Recent sales of names such as nav.no for $700,000 help show the huge market for these types of names. It is clear why people like Sam Huang, founder and CEO of Domain Name One, have invested their money into the plethora of new extensions.
    
“With names such as diamonds.com selling for $7.5 million, it is imperative to offer a second hand solution to the problem of global branding…why pay thousands for something like PokerClub.com when you can get poker.cg for the same price?” says Huang, “We offer keyword names, such as Casino.vu, for a fraction of the price for the .com”.
    
The leaders in today’s domain world such as Bill Mushkin, CEO of Name.com, and Roland LaPlante, VP of Afilias, have invested heavily in such extensions, and anticipating an exponential growth in the ROI for investments into premium keyword names such as sex and poker.
    
Many experts believe that sex.nr is worth at minimum, tens of thousands of dollars. “It is really a unique opportunity, you don’t see many sex.cctlds up for sale… and never on ebay”, says Ryan Simari, a domain analyst. “The beauty of a cctld is that is works just like a .com, anyone in the world can view it”. SEO experts around the world all also agree that the major search engines don’t give preference to .com or one extension, thus offering a cheaper solution to small businesses who want valuable search traffic.

“Theoretically, business.ug could just as be as high ranked as business.com, and to obtain business.ug would be just a fraction of the cost it would be to obtain business.com” says Kunal Patel, SEO professional.
    
The ebay auction for sex.nr is due to end May 28th. The world’s domain experts will be watching closely to gauge the current cctld market. However, most experts agree that whatever the ending price is, the buyer will make a considerable profit if he/she decides to sell the name in the following year.
    
The sex.nr auction can be found by searching for item # 9730403630 on ebay.com or by going to dn1.org/ebay.php.
    
Domain name One currently sells its names through its two brokers, Sedo and Afternic. A master list of domains for sale can be found at dn1.org. Bulk deals can be arranged through email (email protected from spam bots).

The Blog Spot Network is committed to “leading the way to business blogging” and has begun to do so.

The Power of Many

The power of inner linking hundreds of blog portals creates a superior level of exposure through cross over clicks and search engine prominence that can’t be matched.

In order to quickly optimize the power of this massive network, Blog Spot Network plans to begin leasing more than 100 of their business / industry blogs to businesses and authors while they begin the launch of more than 100 city blog portals, and city news blogs.

The Perfect Internet Business Strategy

Blogs are without question the most important and valuable marketing and PR tool available to businesses of all sizes. Through a blog, a business is able to personalize the business, and put a human face on it. The interactive nature of a business blog establishes a line of communication with consumers that could have only been dreamed of until now. Business blogs are the perfect venue to announce new products or services, company news, sales promotions, employment opportunities and more. Consumers can easily subscribe to the blog, which then sends all future updates to the blog directly to their email box.

The Most Affordable and Effective Internet Marketing Option

For most businesses, effective internet advertising and marketing has simply become too expensive. The bidding wars to buy ad space on major search engines, combined with click fraud issues, has become too much for most, who are now seeking other advertising options. Blogs are that option.

Online Advertising Growing Stronger

Business blogs, community blogs, and blog networks are the focus of such media giants as News Corp®, AOL®, MSN, and Viacom who have been spending millions to buy blogs and blog networks. Considering the fact that online spending reached a whopping $12.5 billion in 2005, and is expected to top $2 billion by 2010, it is no wonder the world’s largest media and advertising companies have such keen interest.

Local Search Firm Innovectra Corporation Closes $4 Million Round of Funding

Longworth Venture Partners leads round to fund expansion of Innovectra’s ActivSearchTM local search software platform and LeadStreamTM pay-per-call offering

Vienna, VA (PRWEB) May 5, 2006 -- Innovectra Corporation, the only full service local search software and services company, today announced the close of its B round of funding. Longworth Venture Partners, a Boston-based technology-focused investment firm, has joined current investor, Edison Venture Fund, in closing the $4 million round. Innovectra will use the funds to expand the footprint of its ActivSearchTM local search engine portal and continue the rollout of its LeadstreamTM pay-per-call platform.

Innovectra is poised to capitalize on the rapidly growing local search market, which according to The Kelsey Group, is projected to reach $4 Billion by 2009. The company’s flagship local search engine ActivSearchTM uses advanced search algorithms, a customized needs-based ontology and best-in-class data mining and classification technology to deliver superior local search results.

Innovectra’s customers include AT&T, Dex, Verizon, ALLTEL, R.H. Donnelley, Yellow Pages Group, and more.

LeadStream advertisers are assigned a unique, trackable phone number which is displayed on ActivSearch, Google, Yahoo! and numerous other search engines when a prospect searches for that particular company or product. Calls to the unique number are forwarded to the advertisers’ regular number and the advertiser pays only for phone calls received.

“Pay-per-call takes what is great about the Google pay-per-click model, ROI accountability, and makes it viable for local businesses that are more willing to pay for a phone call than a click,” said Chris Scotton, President and CEO of Innovectra. Added Scotton, “With increased demand from local businesses for this type of online advertising, Innovectra recognized the time was right to raise a B round to help Yellow Pages publishers take full advantage of the opportunity.”

Peter Roberts, General Partner at Longworth said, “Innovectra has blue chip customers, outstanding search technology and an impressive management team. They are well positioned to become a major player in local search and pay-for-performance advertising.”

CEO and Co-founder of Wordtracker, Mike Mindel Drops In For A Surprise Visit To Greet Orlando 5-Day Search Engine Workshop Students

A very delighted group of SEO Workshop students were surprised last week by a special (unannounced) guest visitor who took time to make a visit to the recent Orlando, Search Engine Workshop on April 25, 2006 which was in progress at the Clarion Universal Hotel last week.

Orlando, Florida (PRWEB) May 5, 2006 -- Leading SEO industry educators Robin Nobles and John Alexander were teaching day 2 of their 5-Day SEO Workshop last week. The students were having a great time studying SEO skills and were anticipating the upcoming new session for advanced "Keyword Forensics" which was recently added to the Workshop agenda last month.

A surprise special guest visitor had been planned at the last minute that would especially delight the SEO students, since they had just been studying keyword research using the leading SEO professional keyword research tool, Wordtracker.

A very special guest walked into the class just shortly after lunch and John Alexander introduced the students to Mike Mindel, the CEO and Co-founder of Wordtracker.com.

The students were thrilled to meet Mike Mindel in person and then Robin Nobles invited Mike to share a few tips on the newest keyword research techniques which have recently been activated inside the Wordtracker members area.

After Mike's presentation there was still a little time left for a nice question and answer session with the students, before Mike had to leave for the airport to catch his flight back home to England. In closing, Mike Mindel offered some wonderful encouragement to the SEO Workshop attendees before saying Goodbye to the class.

The experience was nicely summarized by one comment made by attendee Nina Pucillo, who stated..."Now THAT...was a cool surprise!"

For a few photos from the last couple of SEO Workshops including photos of Wordtracker Co-founder Mike Mindel with SEO Educators Robin Nobles and John Alexander, please visit our recent photo page:
