Creative Programming Brings New Domain Listing Sites to the Cutting Edge

August 22, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Roseburg, OR – Creative programming is making a big difference in two new domain name brokerage sites developed by a couple of Oregonians who have been domainers for 4 years and use their experience to create the “perfect listing site”. These two sites utilize advanced programming with an emphasis on security, smooth functionality, and suggestions of site visitors.

The first is www.DotComerica.com, a general category domain site. The second focuses on domain names with a virtual reality and virtual tour theme: www.VRtechDomains.com. Rather than referring to them as “brokerages”, they prefer “domain listing service” with free listing, no commissions, and a number of economical promotional services.

Programming-wise, they have “increased the flexibility of domain search,” says Chris, the Mastermind and Webmaster of the two sites. “Big brokerages like Sedo and Afternic have some great advanced search, but they can’t search in multiple categories, TLDs, or keywords in a single search. This saves a lot of time.”

This flexible tool is used in other ways, too. With the search applied to the seller’s own domains, locating specific names takes only seconds from even the largest portfolio.

“The goal was to eliminate looking through long lists and the guesswork of endless pagination,” says Chris. “Our system makes editing the price, category, or description fast and easy – either individually or in bulk.” He feels that “more flexibility in domain management makes sellers feel more in control of the domain marketing process.”

Another inventive breakthrough allows a seller to add thousands of domains into the site database, with no special technical skill. They call their system ADAM - for Advanced Domain Adding Manager. A test of the system added over 4500 domains in about 90 seconds which was reflected on the website immediately.

The system is foolproof and will not let duplicates, invalid domains, or domains already in the database slip through. A detailed report shows how many and which domains were added, as well as which domains were not, and why.

For efficient record keeping and use, every ADAM user has their own file and management system in the member account and it helps to edit and resubmit domains that fail to get added for one reason or another. A detailed report is e-mailed to the member.

Chris is excited about ADAM. “The beauty of ADAM is it eliminates a lot of work. It is a real chore to handle large numbers of domains, both for the domain owner and the brokerage. We have big plans for ADAM as far as even more advanced bulk editing. We are constantly working on ways to improve the sites to offer the most with the least hassle.”

Their Deluxe Featured Sellers Listing is another example of creative use of their domain search. It is a lot like having a private domain website - showing a seller’s own domains with the search applied to their names only. This, plus their own categories, banner, and a unique URL, and home page exposure.

Chris says this about the Sellers Listing: “It is designed for domain owners who have no website of their own to display their large domain holdings - or those with sites, but no advanced search.” Featured Seller comes in Standard and Deluxe with plans for future adaptations.

The Oregonians are making an impact by offering free listing, free membership, and no commission on sales for their general listings. They also have a private buyer/seller exchange for anonymous communication and offers/counter offers (even allowing exchange of contact info).

A streamlined, no-nonsense logic pervades both DotComerica and VRtechDomains with many features and promotional services. Qualified tech support provides receptive and helpful assistance. A get-to-the-point approach saves domainers a lot of time when getting down to the purpose of the sites: selling domain names.
