DN Media Corp and Telepathy Inc Partner To Launch MiniSites.com

If you have been sitting on quality domain names and putting all your eggs in one domain parking basket perhaps it is time to think about expanding your horizons and optimizing your domains’ monetization potential based on your domain name’s individual qualities – just in time to alleviate the impact the global recession is having on PPC revenue?

I know it has been said by everyone and their grandma and you are probably tired of people saying you should “develop your domain names” while noone is providing concrete suggestions of how you would go about this – especially if you are not as tech savvy as some – and how you should go about this with minimal fuss while getting optimum results. Right?

Well, it seems that finally someone is doing something about this. The folks over at MiniSites.com have taken steps in the right direction by providing a solution that will, according to them, address most concerns when making the transition from static parking pages to something more robust.

DN Media Corp. and Telepathy, Inc. announced today the creation of a joint venture called MiniSites.com. The new company provides mini site development services to domain name investors, offering them an affordable alternative to monetize their valuable assets.

“We are thrilled to be partnered with Nat Cohen of Telepathy on this project,” said DN Media co-founder Bogdan Nastea. “Nat has ten years of experience in the domain industry, and he brings an impressive track record of turning domain names into successful businesses.”

Although I am yet to try their services, from what I can see from their website, their email communique and press release, I think that MiniSites.com might actually have the potential to co-exist with more robust yet automated domain development service providers like WhyPark because while WhyPark provides automated bulk domain development services, MiniSites.com offers individual-based, human-performed services to cater to your domain monetization needs.

All packages offered by MiniSites.com include a dedicated project manager, unique content written by native English speakers, text logo design, header design, link building campaign, flexible monetization options, targeted keyword research, search engine optimization, and free hosting.

Reading from their website, they offer three levels of mini site development to accommodate all types of domains and budgets. The Micro, starting at $80, is a one-page site which is ideal for lead generation and affiliate marketing. The Mini, starting at $170, is a five-page site which provides more content to visitors, keeping them engaged and coming back. The Big Mini, starting at $290, takes the Mini to a higher level by offering an advanced link building campaign, as well as a thorough analysis of monetization options.

It is definitely an interesting idea and affordable at that if your domain name is currently parked and receiving traffic. Most people pay up to and over $100 for just a logo design while the Micro package with MiniSites.com at $80 will get you a logo, unique content and link development on top of that.

If you are interested to see what these developed mini sites look like, their case study provides some domain names already developed using the MiniSites.com system: VintageWines.com, Rockford.com, Cabernets.com.

I believe this is definitely a step in the right direction towards establishing reliable alternatives to conventional domain monetization methods at a time when PPC revenue is not as reliable as in the past.
