    The .TEL Discussion Thread

    Microguy, I don't know if or when I will renew these domains. I don't have to make that decision for another 6 months. I will keep you updated.... Sdinc, I don't blame the registry. I have no right to do so and as far as I am concerned they did not do anything wrong as far as I am concerned. We...

    I am glad that I can entertain you Dub Dub :-) No hard feelings here- I see your point and while your ideas seem unreasonable at times, you do make a decent point this time. I also agree with ecigs that it was a "bit crazy", but I have no major regrets yet- all of my .tel domains were renewed. I...

    Excellent example DubDub, of all the 25 florists listed on the first page, not one is located in 90210. Now, delivering flowers 100 miles away might work OK, but clearly it is not very practical to use the YellowPages to find a florist in 90210, and that is because the only reason why these...

    Thanks for the guidance Henry. It makes sense and now things are very clear....

    Yes Mactel, to keep it simple with your plumberjoe example: You are right that if you try to easily remember the contact page for plumberjoe, the main aim would be to have something like plumberjoe.plumbers.tel, or just plumberjoe.tel but for a search by a potential client on Google it might...

    Hi Mactel, regarding your scenario, x1.x2.x3.tel, I just wanted to point out one thing but Henry said something similar with more knowledge and therefore authority. Anyway, if you develop your .tel subfolder as x1.x2.x3.tel , register the .tel domain with the search engines like google, and...

    I agree that it is time for a new video and more efforts to spread the word about .tels. The "Love Train Video" was good and it reflected reality well- .tel is useful to provide contact info, and even some of the naysayers admited to that in this thread. It is a straightforward use of .tel and...

    The observations below are mostly for Henri/ Telnic, but I am also wondering if other people on this forum have similar questions and issues, or if my issues are unique..... 1) DNS navigation between .tel domains (jumping from .tel to .tel domain) seemed a lot smoother in the past- now the...

    Just to make it clear. My reply to Acroplex was in reference to the bottom of his message that doesn't show up in my reply or quote, saying: ".tel sucks, just google it". The rest of his message was his opininion and that was OK, even though I don't agree with it.

    Yes Acroplex, valuable reliable information (whether as contact information, links, etc) will always be rewarded by the public, sooner or later, with or without the approval of the "establishment" aka Google. I love your ranking in Google whenever somebody is searching for Telnic or dottel...

    Since you mentioned Verizon, I just got some forms in the mail from the US Bankruptcy Court informing me that IDEARC (AKA Verizon Directories....)filed for Chapter 11, a few weeks after the deadline to be listed in their directories and after struggling with them to develop a direct mail...

    Phase 111, the links look ok from New York..... I would add travel and disability insurance too.......

    The .TEL Discussion Thread

    Phase 111, there is not even a question here as to what business owners prefer. Let me see: pay 15/ year for a .tel and controlling their own information being able to put all the useful information that is needed to promote a business in the .tel vs paying what I pay now ($233/ month) for a...

    OK dubdubdubdot, this is my last reply to you because it is not really my business to help you understand the limitations and major problems of the 2 sites that you mentioned (yellowbook.com and the other one). Reality is not always easy to grasp, and sometimes I have similar difficulties myself...

    The .TEL Discussion Thread

    A question: how comes that the prices vary for .tel from 8.95 to 34.99/ yr? Which one do you think has the best quality to price ratio for people who have a lot of domains? Thanks for your advice......

    The .TEL Discussion Thread

    DubDubDubDot, I have no idea how anybody can compare the costs of doing business with Google with that of paying a minor fee for a .tel to actually have control over your own digital identity and publish your own contact information. Unless you are one of Google’s partners, most business people...

    I agree with your observations and analogy Plaggypig that in biological terms .tel (and the DNS) is similar to the spinal cord, helping to deliver information fast to and from both the right side (mobile devices) and the left side (web) of the body (the Internet)…. The analogy of .tels with the...

    The .TEL Discussion Thread

    I asked some IT people for criticism of my .tel sites, and I thought one made a good point: currently .tel domains making links only to .com and .org pages don't yet take full advantage of the direct DNS access aspect of .tels, which remains its strongest feature, both in terms of speed and...
