You already know about .tel domain names, right? As we’ve said before, they’re a completely different approach to domain names. Think of them as your entry in a global directory designed to make your business visible – and more importantly, contactable – to the wider world in addition to, or even if you’ve yet to build, your standard business website.
Well, Telnic, the registry in charge of .tel domains has been busy making some improvements to make your .tel domain name all the more flexible. They’re still on the case, but here’s what they’ve come up with so far:
Make money using your .tel domain name
You can now use Google AdSense with your .tel domain name, which means you can add up to 12 paid advertisements on each page of your domain and potentially earn money from your .tel’s visitors directly as well as by picking up business leads through your contact information.
Here’s Telnic with more on how to monetise your .tel.
Customise your .tel pages
When .tel domains first came out, it’s fair to say they had a certain… uniform look about them. But, it’s now possible to jazz them up a bit. You can add an image (head to the Logo section of your dashboard and click ‘Add’) to give your page a bit of colour and life. You can finally also customise the colourscheme of your .tel page, which means you can create a look that’s more in keeping with your preferences or your company brand. You’ll find a new ‘Design’ tab within your control panel – you can fiddle with the look of your page here, using handily numbered colour pickers for each section of your .tel page.
We’ll look forward to sprucing ours (www.daily.tel) up a bit!
