| Applied Semantics' Naming Solutions division,
a tools and applications provider for domain name registrars, has announced
the launch of AfterMarket DomainSearch at Dotster.com. DomainSearch allows
domain name registrars to offer their customers conceptually related aftermarket
domain names for sale on each search results page, enabling the first fully
integrated primary and secondary domain name search.
"Naming Solutions' AfterMarket DomainSearch service
is the perfect fit for our domain name search-and-retrieval needs," said
George DeCarlo, chief technology officer of Dotster, Inc. "This partnership
is part of an ongoing initiative to make sure that Dotster's customers
have access to cutting-edge technology which enables a great overall buying
experience."
Through a partnership with BuyDomains.com, an
aftermarket domain name broker, Applied Semantics now offers its customers
access to a comprehensive database of 65,000 previously owned, premium
domain names for instant sale and transfer. According to the announcement,
this new product enables domain name registrars to give their customers
direct and easy access to high-quality domain names. This will provide
a new vehicle to combat slowing sales, customer frustration, and low industry-search-conversion
rates that today leave 98 percent of domain name searches without a sale.
"We are excited to be the first registrar infrastructure
company to offer registrars a fully integrated primary and secondary search
service to truly create a one-stop shop for domain name purchases," said
Jason Liebman, general manager of Naming Solutions. "AfterMarket DomainSearch
adds to our arsenal of products, which continue to revolutionize the buying
and selling experience of domain names to enable our customers to generate
more revenues and receive a high return on investment."
According to the announcement, DomainSearch's
features and benefits include the following:
-
A significant, immediate ancillary revenue stream
with no out-of-pocket expense
-
An easy-to-integrate private-label solution
-
A powerful, meaning-based search technology that
returns relevant, conceptually related results
