Los Angeles, CA - New Net Profits Inc. announces the release of Domain Embarking 2.0. The next generation of “Internet Friendly and Free” domain name creation, management and monetization services.

Rapid advancement of Internet technology, combined with an unprecedented level of open and free access to content, and media inventory from the industry’s biggest players means Domainers are now seeing their once “impossible dreams” readily doable from any computer. With the launching of Domain Embarking 2.0, New Net Profits Inc. is charging into the next generation of the Internet by offering a new alternative that’s green, useful and user friendly. “The secret to this kind of a balance between ‘Fresh Relevant Content’ and ‘Revenue Sharing Advertising’ is the ability to deliver them both, on-topic, and free of charge,” adds a Domain Embarking developer.

What are Domainers you’re asking? They’re the settlers of a 21st century land grab on electronic real-estate. Here’s the Wikipedia definition on them: “Domainers are individuals whose profession is the accumulation and dealing of generic internet domain names. They consider buying, selling, and developing domain names to be in the same spirit as real estate investing. Domainers generate revenue via domain parking, through the resale of domain names and by developing domain names into fully functioning websites.”

Up to now, the domain parking industry has been primarily fueled by Adult and Casino industries. To provide an alternative, Domain Embarking built their network to accommodate the strict Google AdSense Terms of Service. Plus: In addition to a live human review, a “Report Abuse” link is on every page in the Mass Opinion network, and is further proof to Domain Embarking’s proactive stance against hate, racism, pornography, online gambling, tobacco, Trademark infringement and click fraud. The benefit to the surfing public is a network of topic driven webs, all stylized in a “Maga-zine” format, and packed with relevant multi-media content and advertising. The benefit for today’s Domainer, is getting paid to use a powerful new web site creation tool that delivers all media-types the Internet has to offer on any topic, subject or word, and attach it all to their domain name.

To the domaining enthusiast, the greatest feature of Domain Embarking will be the (patent pending) raw power and flexibility of the machine. With multiple levels of embarking to choose from, a domainer can quickly embark hundreds of domain names, or spend all the time necessary to get one site just right. Generally, it takes less then 60 seconds to meet the minimum requirements for publishing. Simply by entering your domain name, 2 keywords and a title, you can publish a full blown 8 page deep web site to the Internet. (Filled to the brim with content, videos, pictures, news feeds, opinion polls and so much more.) In fact, the homepage of DomainEmbarking.com allows you to see what just one keyword from any domain name can deliver. Go try it yourself. Fair warning: It’s very addictive, and experienced Domainers may be instantly tempted to jump aboard the web’s newest “Net-Liner!”

Don’t park it, EMBARK IT!”

Domain Embarking currently supports the most common TLD’s, and is agressively adding additional International TLD support.

The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
if it walks like a dog,

Azdomains, you seem to like this company and you state that it is their ad provider that has the issue with gambling and other adult type names. This is not true as the parking company comes right out and states they have a proactive stance against certain categories of domains such as gambling.

To respond by helping them make money is in my opinion not a good choice for domainers as we will be promoting those who want to take away free choice and what we want to view on the net.

Personally I shun with great effort those who come out against what is perfectly legal to do.

If the company does not want to allow gambling or porn or whatever, that is up to them. But to state in their tos that are are against such activities is coming off a little to pious to me.

When they change their tos, I will be listening to your good reviews for this company. Thanks anyway.

the site does look like a step in the right direction for content , i assume in the forth coming months , plain old parking will be a thing of the past , i've signed up and put a couple of my domain names on , i'll see how it goes , theres various options in there that dont seem to be changeable such as been able to use my own adsense account , it mentions you can but you need to subscribe , but no furthur details , i presume this is due to been in beta , but WHYPARK should consider taking a look at this place and beefing up the visuals at whypark with more of this type of thing.

why when i click on a site i have set up it says MEMBER AD BLOCK over the google ads ??? ive noticed this on other peoples domainembarking site s????

azdomains:

Can you give a comparison of your Domain Embarking revenues with those from other services such as Bodis, or whatever you tried before?

That way, readers of your message will have a better handle of the benefits.

Also, please show us some of your domains at Domain Embarking that has your own html content, as examples.

No point imagining what it looks like when your pages are there for the world to see.

Thanks

Hi, one reason why setting a site up this way is more beneficial to domain name owners for revenue is that there is a lot more for the visitors to check out besides just having a parking page. All I will say is that I had most of my domains set up with goldkey which I really like, I still have one parked over there but when I set the majority of my domain names up this way and saw that on just one of them that my monthly revenue has increased in a short enough amount of time already by 10x and climbing, it was enough to keep my eyes wide open. With an eight page site like you are given compared to a one page parking page there's a lot more chances that your visitors will keep coming back. You have ads displayed through your complete site which makes a huge difference compared to just a one page regular parking service. With news, videos, photos, blogs, polls, pod casts and links pages on your sites, it keeps people hanging around on your sites a heck of a lot longer and your chances to make revenue are a lot greater.

I tried many parking services over the past few years and a lot of them are really good but I choose to have my domains set up this way since I saw a night and day difference. If you'd like to see a site I set up as an example with things added into the description area in which everyone can add things into theirs when you edit your sites you can visit bankingassistance.com or unitedstatespresidentialelection.info

To answer just wondering's questions, yeah if you are a free member we don't use our own adsense id at all. The company will pay us our adsense earned related click shares from clicks our sites receive. If there's any types of questions you have such as you seeing the member ad things showing or whatever it may be, when you log in you can click on help and a new screen will come up to where you can either chat with them live if they are on or ask questions you have if they're not on and they will respond back to you. Their service is spectacular.

Azdomains:

Just saw your bankingassistance.com site. I find the video and sound annoying in that they go on and repeat every time you come back to the main landing page after clicking a link that takes you to a different page.

Can that video and sound be disabled or removed? That auto-on video draws attention alright, but can be annoying especially if the topic is of no interest to the site visitor. Do you get paid for having that auto-on video running as a dominant feature? I bet the advertiser paid good money for it to be shown.

Also, are all the features pretty standard? Can you totally remove certain feature categories, e.g. the videos? I would like to do away with the video totally for some websites I have. Can that be done?

Domain Embarking should provide a start button like YouTube does for its video, rather than auto-run or auto-on.

Do you get to choose the videos? I get an impression that you don't have much control over what features you don't want or want, or even what content is provided under each feature, e.g. videos or not. I get the impression that a major proportion of the landing page is devoted to content that does not provide revenues, as they are simply links to articles. Please correct me if I am mistaken.

Thanks,

NP

If a domain owner placed lets say 100 names in this program and makes the pages and does not place gambling names or adult in the parking program everyone is happy right? Not if the software flags a perfectly harmless domain for being offensive. Then bam, the owner of the domain gets kicked out of the parking program.

Incidently this all happens right about the time the person has run up a nice big pay out.

Only problem is the person does not get paid because they will say he is breaking the tos.

This is just a question I bring up as it may very well happen.

Its happend to others who have parked their names in some parking programs. When certain clauses are written in that are open to interpetation, software will flag it. If the parking company is greedy or they need money guess where they will get it?


This may be a fine company for you, (not me as I don't like their tos) just saying beware of details.

Good advice and caveat, GoodKarmaCo.

Although legally, where clauses are subject to different interpretations, they are typically resolved against the drafter of the clauses.

That's not to say hiring a good lawyer is easy or cheap, or that the amount is even worth the time and trouble to fight for in court.

So may be 99.99% of the time, the domainer loses out by default. But there is that 0.01% of the time where the aggrieved victim was a brilliant trader, who then sold short the victimizer company's stock (or its parent company's stock) at a major price peak, and made orders of magnitude more in short-sale profits as restitution, as the stock price plummeted. I've seen that happen, and it was done with such amazing ease and effectiveness that it was brilliant!

The web pages on embark remind me of that old Simpson's episode where Homer creates a web site with just about every animated icon on the web and it is a big jumbled mess! :) ....just my 2 cents.

However, if the site performs well, then it does not matter that it appears too busy.

"WANTED" Answers About Domain Embarking - Read and Alive!

Howdy Partners!

I see y'all found Domain Embarking and are looking fer some answers!

Here's The RoundUp:


neocoven says: It's interesting but still needs more modification, IMO. Especially, I can't find out Google Adsense code setting page.

TLD - Presently DE uses their own AdSense Code for the FREE option. If you have a HIGH TRAFFIC TYPE-IN domain name and want to get it indexed and keep all your AdSense earnings, you'll need to contact DE Support to set up the $9.95 per name/per month subscription. Keep in mind that you can avail yourself to this option at anytime. This is important because so many of you own names that don't make squat in parking. But, with Domain Embarking getting names indexed, many discover their names are worth keeping!

Smiler says: The pages doesn't look parked at all. I like because its very active and it looks like a real website.

TLD - It is a real website. And anybody in the domaining business knows, unless you own SEX.COM or natural type-in names like it, your best chance (and most times your only chance) to make any money is by developing a web site. www.domainembarking.com

biohammer says: Well the sites get indexed and back links quickly. If you join the free plan the adsense ads are often down and they put up a bullsh*t ad that says "user ad view" meanwhile you make no affiliate money and the sites are mostly affiliate ads. The new video feed from the news room is a pay per view deal which also is not shared. In my opinion you wont make much if anything with the free deal but you will get indexed and back links. I don't know about the paid shares but its expensive by comparison and no way to add your own content or links.. Its better than it was in beta but its got a way to go.........IMO

Also the email is a Gmail account last time I checked.....Hmmn

TLD - 1. What you're calling the "User Ad View" is answered pretty clearly. But it does confuse some. Bottom line is this: DE USES GOOGLE BABY! What you're seeing is what ALL members see EVERYWHERE on the network. NON LIVE ADS. This is DE's first layer of click fraud protection. While members can't "Accidentally" click their own ads, the rest of the world can my friend. And they do!

2. If you consider (at the exact moment this was posted. See the DE ticker on the homepage for up to the minute click-share report) the average click-share is worth $.25 each, you can see the bottom line is simple math. Of course you must also factor in that your name will retain the natural traffic and it will be immediately cross promoted on the network, and it will be indexed by search engines soon enough. If your collection of names does better than that, I wouldn't move them to DE.

3. As a BONUS - By registering or transfering names to DE's (GoDaddy powered) registrar, you earn shares in ALL THE OTHER MONIES EARNED. (Using the affiliate program you can earn bonus shares as well.)


4. You ABSOLUTELY can add your own html and links the page. (Paste code into description field. 600 pixels wide table.) The only rules are that you don't promote or link to anything that WOULD NOT be allowed on DE.

5. [email protected] [email protected]


NP41215 says: Well, if they allow custom content from the domainer, that would be a BIG plus.

TLD - THEY DO! (see above comments.)

NP41215 says: Do you get to choose the videos? I get an impression that you don't have much control over what features you don't want or want, or even what content is provided under each feature, e.g. videos or not. I get the impression that a major proportion of the landing page is devoted to content that does not provide revenues, as they are simply links to articles. Please correct me if I am mistaken.

TLD - First let me answer that DE is not MySpace. If one simply compares DE to ANY OTHER parking company, then all these "customization" issues are moot. Most all parking company's (with the exception of a maybe adding a keyword or two) only allow you to point dns. That's It. But, since DE offers numerous customization options, you have made a few points that need an answer: The Newsroom videos are not optional. The YouTube Videos and the Photo's (in preview mode) can be groomed. You may remove anything you don't like, and you can "LOCK-IN" the final results so they never change. For the answer to "I get the impression that a major proportion of the landing page is devoted to content that does not provide revenues" I suggest you visit: Parking vs Embarking here: http://www.domainembarking.com/admin/domain_embarking_explained.cfm

AND FINALLY GOODKARMACO - So you're fighting for the right to be indecent on the Internet are you? Well you go boy! I can assure you that the owners of DE are FAR from being prudes. Their "Stance", is only to abide by Google's TOS and provide a new option for those who aren't advocating SEX, DRUGS and ROCK-N-ROLL BABY!. I hope that provides some clarity. If not, find me at the Playboy Mansion to discuss this further, I usually hang out at the Pool Bar!

Peace,

TLD <o>-<o>

What truly matters is the bottom line, the dollar amounts domainers actually see and get.

Let's have some concrete numbers for Domain Embarking, in dollars and cents, and in percentages when compared relative to other leading parking services. Without concrete numbers, it is just too subjective, and hard to decide whether it's worth switching or even testing.

Those who truly feel strongly about Domain Embarking should be able to provide those handy figures.

Faced with those hard figures, I am perfectly willing and ready to cast any first impressions and subjective feelings aside.

I guess concrete figures and facts that might impress, have been too challenging to provide when it comes to DE.

Silence says it all. I am busy and thankfully I didn't have to even bother to try.

I was quite skeptical anyway based on my first impressions of the DE setup -- noisy and attention-getting initially perhaps, but soon became quite annoying due to the auto-on video, and above all, lacking substance, focus or depth.

have parked or rather embarked nascarschedule.info ..
I don't know how much dosh its gonna bring in though. The fact that without any crdit one has to be content with 50% of only adsense revenues doesn't seem very lucrative especially with just one domain name...

but it seems a good option to generate some traffic easily...

Hi, responding to NP41215's posts regarding concrete figures and facts.
All I will say is that I am happy with what I'm earning, it's a lot more than what I used to get.

No customization. It looked ok I guess but results were not good. I don't think I'll try any more right now, recently moved about 200 domains to Fabulous

DomainEmbarking is defintely going in the right direction but I feel they need to improve on a few things.
Creating content rich sites should bring customers back and makes it easier to be indexed by the search engines. BUT.... When you have just a parked page with ads on it, the likelihood of someone clicking an ad is much greater.

I use WhyPark for my sites. You can ad any content you want and use your own AdSense account. The templates are nothing special but some guys on namepros have been custimizing the CSS of their WhyPark pages to make them look unique. Its $100 for 100 domains which isn't a bad deal. Only downside to WhyPark is they never return emails and sometimes your added content disappears!!

Hi Folks, I'm also using Whypark - things are pretty cool there - I think its good to keep sites simple, not too many pics, vids, colours etc - good content, a bit of adsense an affiliate add or two. From what I've learned it's the simple straight forward layouts that are the most profitable - I find some domain parking sites too glossy and busy - too many tabs etc - but will try domainembarking anyway. And re. goodkarma guy - if your doin business with Google then yo already dancing with the devil - domainembarking are not trying to be self righteous pious sob's their just trying to make their co google friendly - which is good for the people who park for them - there are lots of domain parking co s that cater to deviants, perverts and people with other vices - I think even if they are being pious, self righteous, prudish sobs - it's about time they cater for the typical domainer. Now I'm gonna go and check out these guys - cheers all,
Pjay

Checked out domainembarking last night - a lot of waiting while they get a page up for you and have to wait for them to get back to me to aprove the one trial site I put up - haven't got back to me yet. Can't imagine parking a couple hundred domains there if it takes so long. I think I'll stay with Whypark and test a few of the others - Hey Karma - I wonder if they allow adult dating sites ?

Cheers,
Pjay

Google does not know what its right hand is doing. Almost every search done thru Google will land tons of adult material, even porn. Don't know why a parking company is concerned as Google itself serves it up.

Some questions

namedesire said:
Yes they are in the process of tweaking ,i do think that they will succeed..

Here is an example of my site embarked there R-epublican.com

Thanks for posting the sample URL. Always curious about new parking/minisite opportunities I just surfed through your site, and have some questions/concerns about the general Embarking setup:

The top Adsense banner on all the pages display the default nonprofit advert -- no click revenue.

On the News page, page formatting extends too far to the right. Also there is a frame with a reprinted article page from the Billings Gazette -- with THEIR advertisements displayed. And the visitor can click on THEIR advertisements. Something is jingling in my brain about this being a violation of Adsense - ? At the least, your site is generating PPC revenue for someone else. :( Another consideration -- many news organizations strictly prohibit the republication of their copyright news articles in any form -- what are ramifications of displaying copyright protected materials intact via frame?

Also from the SEO perspective, the heavy use of frames means that none of the displayed content is crawlable by SE's for each respective page -- that's a lot of page real estate devoted to non-SEO-able content. It's always been my understanding that good web page design avoids frames - but then my first foray into "web design" way back when was with the very first edition of HTML For Dummies :).

On the Videos page, page formatting extends to the right. Another auto play initiates -- why offer a selection of videos, then jump the visitors choice with an autoplay vid? Also I had to click on Photos tab several times to move off this page -- the video play appears to significantly delay a normal page transition. Note - having autoplay videos is a real negative -- lots of folks surfing websites do not want their fellow co-workers in the next cubicle to know..... ;p

The duplicate page header "Republican party news blog interveiws [sic] updates" appears on News, Videos, Photos, Podcasts pages.

When clicking on Blogs, I expected to see list of available blogs -- but there is only a submission page, unable to determine to which blog one is submitting?

Polls Page -- some blank spaces -- where are the poll results published?

Podcasts page - again the duplicate page title. Also a frame displays what appears to be an internal podcastdirectory.com search engine page. There are Google Adsense ads displayed at the top of the framed page -- are these ads generating revenue for you, or for podcastdirectory.com? With the frame display, I'm guessing they're podcastdirectory.com ads - ?

Links page -- none of the displayed links have any relevance to your site topic.

==============

Would be helpful to know if these are system default issues, or simply a matter of needing more tweaking. TIA!

I have pointed my DNS to ns1.domainembarking.com and ns2.domainembarking.com

When I visit my website I get this message "This site has not been properly embarked, please re-publish your site and wait for approval."

This is despite receiving email confirmation that both of my sites have been manually approved for go-live. Can anyone help?
