Internet Finance International Acquires New Domain Name Verticals, Launches Five New Websites and Places Premier Domain Names Into Auction

Internet Finance International acquires new domain name verticals, launches five new websites and places premier domain names into auction.

Chandler, AZ (PRWEB) July 22, 2006 -- Leading Internet media distribution and direct search firm Internet Finance International Corporation recently acquired a portfolio of approximately 300 domain names across two major verticals – business and travel with the Company’s portfolio estimated at 1400 domain names and climbing. Chris Kern, President of Internet Finance International Corp. stated “the recent domain name acquisitions in the travel and business verticals are very valuable, especially when coupled with a specific type of business, city, state or country. These recent additions are crucial to building our online media network and creates a compelling platform for direct search and local search which are two of the hottest markets in Internet advertising.” Further developments and specific site launches in these verticals will be announced in the near future.

Internet Finance also brings the public five new websites that were launched during July, 2006. These specific vertical portals, more recently referred to as vortals, can be found under the following names: www.ServiceHealth.com, www.HealthPlanPros.com, www.eCompanies.info, www.HotelPlace.net , and www.BestHotelsInGermany.com. These vortals were designed and launched to become leading destinations to provide niche oriented content and advertising placement to improve the user experience and to better match targeted media to consumer needs. Chris Kern commented “our business plan and strategy is very focused towards building depth within specific market niches, similar to major direct search and local search companies such as NameMedia, and Marchex, which collectively have more than a million domain names and related websites.” Internet Direct Search and Local Search advertising is estimated to bring in between $400Million and $800Million in 2006, and in excess of $1Billion in 2007 by estimates from several media analysts. “This is a emerging aggressive growth market where there is plenty of room for established companies and new players to come on board and contribute to this burgeoning sector of Internet media – we’re here to stay,” stated Mr. Kern.

Internet Finance also has decided to re-deploy another segment of its business model - selling niche oriented domain names. DNJournal reports recent July domain name sales showing Wifi.com being sold for $225,000; PrimeRate.com changing hands for $110,000, and Diamond.com being the 2006 sale of the year at $7,500,000 (sold in May 2006). The Company has elected to place highly relevant direct search domain names such as SearchFrankfurt.com, BestHotelsInCanada.com, SearchForHotels.net, and WifiShopping.net, amongst several others, into to auction at Sedo.com – the world’s largest domain name marketplace.

Checking through our site logs took me to Technorati where I found a listing that took me to this page where the author must have seen our posting for Domain Incubation on SitePoint.com which is the first place that we posted about our service. The posting is great, but attributes the site ownership to Coast Internet who registered the domain for us and has not transferred ownership to us.

I wanted to contact the owner and clarify that and a few other things, but I could not find any contact information on their site, and didn't feel like using the domain contact email address. Perhaps they will pick up on this post and contact us... I was impressed with the writing and fairness, so you may want to pay http://www.domainworks.biz/ a visit.

ExactSeek Releases Beta Of New Search Engine Technology

With a feature set designed to dig deeper for information, ExactSeek becomes a viable search alternative.

New York, NY (PRWEB) July 11, 2006 -- ExactSeek announced the long awaited beta of its new search engine technology. Today's beta release sets the stage for ExactSeek's public testing phase where end users and web site owners can test the system and provide suggestions and feedback on the new search technology. The index contains over 100,000,000 documents and web site submissions are being accepted.

The new search engine will index web content and documents from trusted sources to minimize index spam. It also features new personalization options, news search, weblog search, image search, a categorized directory, and other key features.

Today's beta release highlights a number of innovative search tools:

- Personalization of searches by selecting categories of interest. This boosts the relevancy status of listings in the search index by matching them to the searcher's pre-selected categories.
- "Results with Searches" allows searchers to search on the web sites contained in ExactSeek's index to dig deeper for information.
- "Results with Forms" gives searchers the ability to locate forms on web sites which may be relevant to obtaining more information from that web site.
- Advanced search features which include duplicate results filtering, the ability to narrow your search query and a cached version of the web page/document that was indexed.
- "Safe Search" filtering. Filters out potentially objectionable content from the search results.
- News Search which is consistently updated with the latest headlines.
- Weblog Search bringing you the hottest topics of discussion from around the web.

Mel Strocen, CEO of ExactSeek said, "This beta release is a culmination of over 12 months of work. It took a heavy investment of time, knowledge, and money to make it possible. Like any beta software it's certainly not perfect. However, this is why we decided to open it up to the public. We want to gauge reaction and gather suggestions on what we need to do better. Our goal is to fulfill the needs of search users. Their feedback will play a pivotal role in our new technology's development."

ExactSeek's beta search is available at http://www.exactseek.com
