Surprise Growth Of Mobile Internet

2008-04-22T09:29:00.001-05:00

BuzzCity reports surprise growth of mobile internet in Middle East

myGamma Global Mobile Advertising Index shows growth following changes to mobile operator tariffs

London - Apr 22, 2008 (PRN): BuzzCity (http://www.buzzcity.com), a provider of global wireless communities and consumer services, today reveals the myGamma Global Mobile Advertising Index demonstrating the popularity of its mobile social network. BuzzCity also reports surprise growth for demand of its service in Egypt and Saudi Arabia which will surprise both the global mobile community and digital advertising industries. It is likely the growth is directly linked with changes in mobile operator business models offering affordable and understandable ! mobile data packages.

myGamma Global Mobile Advertising Index
The following statistics shows advertising page views in the first quarter of 2008.

1. Indonesia: 654 million (up 13328% on Q1 2007)
2. India: 577 million (up 1522%)
3. South Africa: 426 million (up 418%)
4. USA: 132 million (up 917%)
5. Kenya: 79 million (up 424%)
6. Romania: 57 million (up 446%)
7. Bangladesh: 53 million (up 305%)
8. China: 37 million (up 6053%)
9. Brunei: 35 million (up 221%)
10. Pakistan: 35 million (up 814%)

BuzzCity's myGamma social network service on mobiles operates on an ad-supported model as a primary source of revenue. Advertisements are served on myGamma and on more than 2,000 publisher sites globally. BuzzCity tracks the growth of the network and by extension, the growth of the mobile internet in more than 70 countries around the world.

The company recently announced plans for a US office, a market where traffic has grown more than 900%, putting the US in 4th place. BuzzCity expects this to grow to more than 100 million page views per month in the next quarter. In 21st place is Canada, with 5 million page views per month, which has made a phenomenal growth of 11,800% over the last 15 months. This may mark the growth of a new market in North America.

In Q1 of 2007 the myGamma banner network served a little over 260 million banners over its top 10 high traffic countries South Africa, India, Thailand, Kenya, Bangladesh, Brunei, USA, Romania, Nigeria and Malaysia. Over the first quarter of 2008, the Top 10 countries served more than 2 billion ads, a growth of 800%. The Top 10 also saw some new entrants, with Indonesia, China and Pakistan replacing Thailand, Nigeria & Malaysia which collectively served about 60% of the 3 billion ads served across the network..

KF Lai, CEO of BuzzCity, commented on the news: "In Q1 of 2008, we served more than 26 million banner advertisements to Egyptian users. This is a growth of 5,400% against the first quarter of 2007 when we served only 490,000 impressions. During this period, Saudi Arabian traffic grew by nearly 900% to 22 million banners. In both cases, increased mobile penetration and healthy competition among carriers invariably sees more consumer activity on the mobile internet. We are only going to see more of this, everywhere."

Advertisers, such as Mozat in Singapore, have been quick to take advantage of the rise of the mobile internet in the Middle East and have targeted campaigns to Egypt and Saudi Arabia. BuzzCity has expanded its network to deploy new services in Croatia, Iran, Namibia, Nepal, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen.

Video Chat Services To Penetrate Mobile Adult Content Market

2008-04-16T21:57:00.001-05:00

Mobile Adult Content Market to Approach $3.5 Billion by 2010, Driven by Streamed Video and Video Chat Services, Says Juniper Research

The increasing adoption of streamed video and video chat services, fuelled by a sharp rise in the adoption of 3G services, will push revenues derived from mobile adult services to nearly $3.5 billion by 2010, according to a new report by Juniper Research.

Hampshire, UK  - November 27, 2007 -- The increasing adoption of streamed video and video chat services, fuelled by a sharp rise in the adoption of 3G services, will push revenues derived from mobile adult services to nearly $3.5 billion by 2010, according to a new report by Juniper Research.

The report also found that a significant proportion of new revenues were expected to hail from the relatively underdeveloped North American markets, despite the existing restrictions on on-portal content.

According to report author Dr Windsor Holden, "While operators in the US and Canada are still very reluctant to introduce age-verification systems and offer adult content, it is a completely different story off-portal with a number of service providers now offering D2C content and services aimed at those markets. Furthermore, as mobile subscribers become more comfortable and familiar with the off-portal environment, then the traffic to these sites is likely to mushroom."

The report also found that while new legislation in markets such as China and South Korea would depress growth in Asia, adoption in Eastern European markets was rising at a higher rate than previously anticipated, in part thanks to the greater willingness of operators in the region to offer a wide variety of explicit, white-label content on-portal.

"While in most forms of mobile entertainment, the brand is king. That truism does not apply in mobile adult content," said Holden. "The most popular genre amongst consumers is graphic, amateur content. If operators truly wish to maximise their revenues from adult content, then they should provide consumers with a mix of genres, in which white-label content is given equal prominence to that of major brands."

Other findings from the Juniper report include:
    Western Europe will remain the largest regional market for mobile adult services throughout the period covered by the report, with revenues rising from $775m in 2007 to $1.5bn by 2012.
    Global revenues from video chat services will rise from just $138m in 2007 to more than $1.5bn by 2012.
    While users of adult services are far less price sensitive than consumers of other mobile entertainment services, service providers should be careful not to overprice content.

Juniper Research assesses the current and future status of mobile adult services based on interviews, case studies and analysis from representatives of some of the leading organisations in the growing mobile adult services industry.

National Arbitration Forum Resolves 3 Domain Name Disputes

2008-04-05T23:36:00.000-05:00

The National Arbitration Forum Resolves Univision, Webkinz and Hershey's Kisses Domain Name Disputes

Dispute resolution program boasts a legal process that is quick, inexpensive, neutral and expert.

Minneapolis - September 13, 2007 -- www.domains.adrforum.com -- The National Arbitration Forum recently issued decisions on the rights to Univision.tv, Webkinzz.com, Webkniz.com, Weblinz.com and ChocolateKiss.com.

"Domain names have irreplaceable value for trademark holders. Abusive practices like cybersquatting and typosquatting can lead to disputes," said Kristine Dorrain, Internet Legal Counsel. "The National Arbitration Forum domain name dispute resolution program boasts a legal process that is quick, inexpensive, neutral and expert."

The following three decisions were made in accordance with the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) by independent and neutral arbitrators on the National Arbitration Forum's panel.

Univision.tv
On June 7, 2007, Univision Communications Inc., the premier Spanish-language media company in the United States, submitted a complaint electronically with the National Arbitration Forum asserting legal rights to the domain name Univision.tv. The Complainant requested the dispute be decided by a three-member panel.

The Panel concluded that the domain name is identical to the registered trademark UNIVISION with the addition of the .tv extension. Respondent and registered owner Edmundo Norte could not support his claim of an intent for future use as a parody site and did not demonstrate rights to or legitimate interests in Univision.tv. The Panel found that the Respondent offered to sell the domain name for an amount in excess of reasonable development expenses which supports findings of bad faith registration and use. The Complainant successfully established all three elements required under the ICANN Policy and defended its trademark in domain name dispute resolution. On August 16, 2007, Univision.tv was ordered to be transferred to Univision Communications Inc.

Webkinzz.com
Ganz, owner of Webkinz a popular line of real and virtual stuffed animals, submitted a complaint electronically on May 21, 2007. The National Arbitration Forum panelist found that the domain names Webkinzz.com, Webkniz.com, and Weblinz.com were registered by renowned cybersquatter Texas International Property Associates.

The Panel found that the three disputed domain names are confusingly similar to the WEBKINZ mark all with slight typographical variations. The Panel went on to find that erroneous variations of Complainant's WEBKINZ mark are typical of typosquatting -- using a website to profit from the mistyping of someone else's trademark -- and prove the Respondent's lack of rights and legitimate interests. Because the Respondent used the websites to generate revenue through pay-per-click advertisements it was found that the domain names were registered and used in bad faith. Ganz proved all three elements required of the ICANN Policy and was granted the rights to Webkinzz.com, Webkniz.com, and Weblinz.com on July 19, 2007.

ChocolateKiss.com
The Hershey Company, one of the largest chocolate production facilities in the world, filed a claim electronically on April 20, 2007 against Respondent R. Reaves. Complainant, the Hershey Company, requested that the dispute over ChocolateKiss.com be handled by a panel of three National Arbitration Forum arbitrators.

The Panel found that ChocolateKiss.com was confusingly similar to Complainant's KISSES mark, as the term "chocolate" was simply descriptive of Complainant's business and the combination of the terms was calculated to suggest the involvement of Complainant. The Panel also found that Respondent lacked rights or legitimate interests because the content displayed on Respondent's website gave the erroneous impression that it was affiliated with Complainant. Finally, the Panel found that Respondent registered and was using the domain name in bad faith because Respondent was using this implied affiliation with Complainant to attract users to its website for commercial gain. Accordingly, the Panel granted Complainant's request for a transfer of the domain name on June 8, 2007.

There's no scam like an old scam. I was almost taken in by this message I received yesterday, but like most scams they almost always do something stupid to tip you off. In this case it was the part about paying me $4,800 a month. That might work for a site that is getting millions of visitors a month, because they will already be making some money, but for smaller sites, it's stupid. If they had said $48 I might have tried it. $480 would have me wondering, but $4,800 is like those Nigerian emails about getting millions. Then I hear that to tap in this money you have to PAY THEM? Yeah, right you morons.

More US Domain Name Copyright Registry Scams

2008-03-11T12:15:00.000-05:00

I just got email from another Registry company using spam to offer a Copyright Registry service designed to scare domain and web site owners. If you want to register for a copyright at a Copyright Registry in the US, don't use any US Copyright service that sends you spam or unsolicited commercial email. You can go to the US Copyright government Registry site and do it yourself, or search in Google for an honest Copyright Registry company that can provide the service. But you should be aware that all published works are already covered by a US Copyright. This is not something you have to pay extra for:

Dear Reverend Barrister Willy Bayo,

Thank you for your message. I am so very glad that you were able to catch these people!

They stole a total of $225,000 from us over a period of 8 months. Each time they contacted me they wanted more and more money. After a while I thought that I would have none left, so I stopped paying them.

It would be wonderful if I could get that money back. Please let me know what I need to do.

Thank you,

Citizen Hawk Service Upsetting Domainers

2008-02-04T21:48:00.000-06:00

CitizenHawk, Inc. is sending out emails to domainers that they feel are infringing on the trademarks of some companies. Domainers that get emails from them are upset in part because they come on so strong and are demanding that the domainer turn over the domain to Citizen Hawk. Many domainers think this is a scam since they are being asked to turn over their domains.

While not exactly a scam, it seems to be a service that may or may not be legal. Unless the Squawker has been authorized to act in the behalf of the trademark holder, they may not have any right to do what they are doing.

On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with providing a service that goes after those that may be abusing a trademark.

My concern is that there are some cases where a trademark may be involved but no abuse is taking place, such as a domain like Xboxforums.org. If a site is not doing things that should be considered abuse, will they still be targeted? My advice to companies is to go easy on those that may be loyal and good customers at first. You can always get tough later on if you find real signs of abuse and infringement.

Frankly, I could see this area ripe for a different kind of service that provided not only a policing service, but also one that offers education as well. Many new domainers start buying domains and do not realize that they may be potentially infringing on a trademark. After all, if you find some valuable land that no one owns, but that they could have staked a claim in and didn't, it doesn't seem likely that they are interested in it.

Ebay had the right approach last year when they sent out thousands of emails to people that registered different variations of the word "ebay". Rather than pay a lawyer to get all nasty, they simply notified people that they were being put on notice and that they should not use, sell, or renew any domain with their trademark. The implication was that if the advice was not followed, they would come after you and you were not going to like the encounter...

4,500 Free Web Templates to Webmasters

HostGator Offers 4,500 Free Web Templates to Webmasters

Shared hosting service provider HostGator now offers 4,500 free Website templates to customers and resellers. The templates cover nearly 120 different types of businesses and make it easier for non-technical people to build attractive, effective Websites.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) December 20, 2007 -- Web hosting resellers who host their domains through HostGator now have an extra incentive to offer their customers: 4,500 Web templates to make it easy to create new Websites or revamp existing ones.

"These templates are free to any Website hosted by HostGator, whether on a shared or dedicated hosting plan, or through a hosting reseller," says HostGator founder and president Brent Oxley.

"We want to make hosting domains or building Websites as painless as possible, that's why we offer the free templates. We also offer free Site Builder, one of the easiest tools available for anybody wanting to custom build a Website, rather than use a template."

The free templates cover a broad range of page designs suitable for nearly 120 different types of small and medium-sized businesses - from accountants and auto dealers, to cleaning services, consultants, martial arts studios, toy stores, women's health clinics, and everything in between.

The wide variety of templates makes it easier for resellers to attract people and businesses who want websites, but don't have the knowledge or design abilities needed to create good looking Websites.

Although it's common for Web hosting companies to offer a variety of perks, including free or low cost Web tools, and even a limited number of templates, Oxley says the number of free templates HostGator has is far beyond the average: "I really don't know of any other large hosting company offering this many templates. We may be setting the trend here."

Applying the free templates couldn't be easier. The reseller or Webmaster simply browses through the templates, selects one or more to use and they automatically begin downloading to their computer. Hosting resellers and Webmasters are also welcome to modify and HostGator's templates, so long as their Websites remain hosted by HostGator.

As an added feature, resellers can actually mirror HostGator's templates pages to show to their customers. That makes accessing the templates easy, while maintaining control over who can accesss them.

"The only restriction," says Oxley, "is that the templates can't be sold or distributed for use on Websites not hosted by us."

Advertising Intextication

2007-12-13T12:30:00.000-06:00

In-Textification Or In-Text Infestation?

by Kory Kredit , Thursday, December 13, 2007
DEPENDING ON WHOM YOU ASK, the in-text ad is either an ingenious ad revenue-generation mechanism (an opinion typically shared by marketing and ad sales people), or pure unadulterated evil invented by Lucifer himself (popular opinion among journalists and editors). These two groups could be referred to as bottom-liners (not to be confused with bottom-feeders), and content purists (read: hopeless idealists).

The bottom-liner views the proliferation of in-text advertising, or in-textification, as a natural progression of the ad-supported Internet universe. In this world, Web sites exist to generate revenue, or at least that's what their job description says. These people are generally responsible for squeezing every last penny out of any available pixel they can confiscate from their editors and/or Web site designers.

Content purists, alternately, see the growing threat of in-text advertising as an unwanted infestation that crosses the line between their sacred words and the necessary evil that is advertising. While they subconsciously acknowledge that advertising pays their bills, they long for an Internet utopia void of banners, interstitials, rollovers, adwords, pop-ups and the like. (If only Al Gore could have foreseen the dark side of his creation, would he have done it differently, knowing what he knows now?)

The common ground for both of these groups is that they understand and embrace the reality that one cannot exist without the other -- or let's at least pretend they do, just for the sake of argument. Without the bottom-line focus of marketing and ad sales people, the Internet would most likely be an overgrown college message board. By the same token, ads without compelling content wouldn't draw eyeballs to visit a Web site (although that hasn't stopped a large number of video-sharing sites from adopting that model).

The lure of in-text advertising for bottom-liners is that it essentially creates prime real estate that didn't exist before. It offers a wonderful solution for Web sites that don't have any more ad inventory to sell. This newfound treasure trove can be turned into additional ad inventory that doesn't require any modifications to the layout of a page.

For the content purist, however, embedding ads into individual words in their articles can create an unwanted intrusion and a poor user experience for the reader.

This leads us to the issue at hand. Can in-text advertising provide additional ad revenue while not detracting from the user experience, or possibly even enhancing the user experience?

There are a number of companies like Yahoo, Snap, JargonFish and LingoSpot that have created a next generation of hybrid in-text applications that may offer an acceptable alternative that benefits the bottom-liner, the content purist and the Web site visitor.

This hybrid model displays related content from a variety of online resources (i.e. YouTube, flickr, IMDb, Wikipedia, Technorati...) along with a display or text ad. With this type of application, the ad unit is secondary to the content in the window. The added value of the related content provides the visitor with a compelling reason to click on the highlighted link and view the contents of the in-text window, including the ad.

The result is an in-text solution that could appease both the bottom-liners and the content purists. The ad unit generates revenue and the related content adds value to the overall user experience, or at least that is the intended goal.

While this solution may not completely bridge the gap between salespeople and journalists, maybe the two sides could view it as a small plot of common ground in the battle for Web page real estate. Sort of like the Switzerland of the Internet.

Wiki Sells Over 1000 Web Pages in 11 Days

2007-10-25T10:31:00.000-05:00

One Buck Wiki Sells Over 1000 Web Pages in Just 11 Days Since its Launch

Zedomax Network has launched a new website called OneBuckWiki.com

(PRWEB) October 24, 2007 -- Zedomax Network, a San Francisco-based Web2.0 company, has launched a new website called OneBuckWiki.com on October 12th. Users can buy a web page for only ten dollars guaranteed for at least 15 years. There is a strong buzz among bloggers and eBay users that the One Buck Wiki might be the next marketing tool for traffic and search engine optimization.

Since their launch 11 days ago, the One Buck Wiki seems to have caught fire among some of the Internet entrepreneurs, selling over 1000 pages while averaging about 100 pages per day.

Tempted by the exponential growth of the website, couples users have bought 50 pages at a time buying product keywords as "MP3" and "Cellphone". The One Buck Wiki page-owners have even started selling their pages on eBay.

Most users of the One Buck Wiki have pasted YouTube videos, forums, blogs, or simply put some interesting content with ads to generate revenue from incoming traffic. Some users have even bought their own names in order to reserve their spot in history.

Users can buy a page for only 10 dollars (Limited time only). As page owners, they can promote a blog, e-store or any other website(s). The page(s) users buy will solely have their content and no one else's.

"Basically, it's like Wikipedia but you can buy your own page that only you can edit. With all the spam issues with Wikipedia, paid Wikis such as One Buck Wiki are going to be great alternatives to businesses that are trying to promote their products and services," says Max, One Buck Wiki's founder.

The value of all pages will go up to $20 per page once when they have sold 2000 pages. At the rate they are selling their pages, One Buck Wiki might sell another 1000 pages within the next couple weeks.

The One Buck Wiki is a highly developed brand "new" concept on the ideas of the MDW (MillionDollarWiki.com) and the MEW (MillionEuroWiki.com).

The MillionDollarWiki does seem to have excited the Internet crowd, with some customers buying up to 15 pages at a time. Pages have even been traded, with the "Business" page selling on eBay for $6100.

Basically, the difference between the MillionDollarWiki and the OneBuckWiki is that a person can buy a page for ten dollars instead of one hundred dollars.

They have also launched the Five Dollar Wiki where users can buy pages for five dollars.

Zedomax Network will also be launching more Wiki sites in the near future where users will be able to benefit from community traffic and viral marketing.

Verisign: What's To Like?

2007-10-22T11:23:00.000-05:00

Verisign ICANN monopoly under attack

Posted: 22 Oct 2007 04:13 AM CDT at Domain Tools Blog

A new hope has just surfaced against the Verisign-ICANN monopoly. ICANN granted Verisign a contract that has no ability to end and has price increases that are baked into the contract forever. The new hope is an underdog watch group known as the "Coalition for ICANN Transparency, Inc." (CFIT) that has filed a motion to declare the Verisign-ICANN contract a monopoly according to the Sherman Act. This is the third time they have brought the suit against ICANN and Verisign. The head lawyer on the case is Bret Fausett a sharp ICANN observer. There is not much hope that CFIT will win against such a titan, the other side has been able to get the case dismissed two times before, however I think the case is very strong and very accurate. The reason CFIT will face an up hill battle is because ICANN and Verisign have a lot of money to fight the lawsuit. Verisign has an extra $20 Million a year thanks to the contract and ICANN and VeriSign baked in a new ICANN fee that would be assessed on VeriSign and passed on to the registrars and ultimately passed on to consumers. This fee would result in excess of approximately $150 million dollars to ICANN over the contracted period of time and would be an end run around the existing ICANN budget approval process. The Court has already recognized that to eliminate competitive bidding violates the Sherman Act. The CEO of Tucows went on public record that they could provide DotCom registry services for $2 a name, which prompted the CEO of GoDaddy, the world's largest registrar, to say that GoDaddy could do it for a dollar a name. Meanwhile the Chinese Registry CNNIC has figured out how to do provide global registry services for 13 cents a name per year. There is certainly a competitive market to run the DotCom registry.
