Afternic.com is the website of Afternic, Incorporation which was earlier known as ProProject Incorporation. Since 1995 it has been providing services of developing wonderful software and websites. The company was formerly known as "NameBuySell"; within December 2002 they had acquired most of the recognized names in the market of domain names and began its operation under the name, Afternic.

A domain name is basically an online addressing contact which is used by people to find and identify computers on the Internet. Speaking technically, Computers use Internet Protocol addresses or IP Addresses, that are nothing but a sequence of digits used to identify them on the Internet. Normally, it is quite tedious and tough to remember the long digits codes or IP Addresses of different websites. Due to this, domain names came into existence and they were developed as they can be easily remembered as you can relate them to names, keywords and phrases to identify different entities on the Internet as an alternative of using long IP Address.

Afternic has the service of Domain Name Aftermarket that helps public to buy and sell quality domain names. The existing members of the website can search the vast database of different domain names and listings. They also have the facility of determining market values with the help of their domain name appraisal and evaluation services and negotiate deals, followed by completing transactions in a secured way with their service of DNEscrow.

A domain name is very necessary if you want to create your unique online entity to direct all your potential customers. It is always a better idea to promote your own website than of some other person as when you send your email address, then it will be your name that will be in the email address. Domain names on afternic.com are so cheap and irresistible that there is no excuse through which you can get away without getting one. There are some tips that you need to remember before buying a domain name. It is a good idea to get a small domain name. Though it is tough to find a small domain name, but they are easy to remember, easy to write and hard to misspell. Make sure that your domain names relate to the type of business you are doing or image you want to portray. Avoid similar domain names that resemble your competitors or else you stand to loose a valuable customer due to typing errors or bad memory.

edit The Company

There are several reasons that make Afternic the top choice for people when they have to buy or sell their domain names. According to Domain Name Journal, Afternic is one of the top shots in the industry. It provides clients with much more choices, better quality and new sales opportunities than that provided with their competitors. You also get opportunity to reach a qualified and targeted end user audience. Afternic can very effectively target eligible small as well as medium sized business clients who are looking forward to buy memorable, specific domain names that will help them to establish their brand names and expand their online presence. The products have great quality and are yet affordably priced that can be accessible for every budget.

Afternic's DNescrow Services makes sure that for both the buyers and sellers of domain names, the transactions are absolutely secured. It acts as a barrier remover between interested buyers and sellers. Apart from that, Afternic has a powerful biding and negotiating auction tool that allows clear communication between potential buyers and sellers while maintaining their hidden identity. You also get a unique chance to earn money while your website is still being developed by using Afternic's free domain parking services.

Though Afternic offers you an unlimited options to choose your domain name from, but still if you have any particular name that is not on their list then you can submit the name. The company will track down the owner, contact the person in charge and present offers and negotiate with them on your behalf. You can very well choose to remain unidentified during this process. In this process, a support representative is assigned to you who will consider your offers, answer your queries and set up a correspondence between you and the owner of the domain name. Receiving any offer through Afternic.com gives you the security that the transaction is going to be perfectly legitimate. They make sure that you reject or accept offers without giving away any personal information.

Title

The title of a web page appears in search results as the link to that page. Learn more ...

Purpose

The title of a web page appears as a clickable link in search results and bookmarks. A descriptive, compelling home page title with relevant keywords can increase the number of people visiting the site.

Search Engines

Search engines view the text of the title tag as a strong indication of what the page is about. Accurate keywords in the title tag can help the page rank better in search results.

Length

A title tag should have fewer than 70 characters, including spaces. Major search engines won't display more than that.

Content

The title tag of your home page (and any other page on your site) should not contain the site’s domain name or URL. These will appear near the title in search results, so use your 70 characters to tell people what the page is about. The title tag should not contain any HTML, because it will be displayed incorrectly or not at all.

  • Good: This web page has a title tag.
  • Warning: The title tag for this page is too long. It should be 70 characters or less, including spaces.
The title of this site's home page:
Sell Domains | Buy Domains | Park Domains | Afternic Domain Listing Service

Meta Description

Search engines often use the meta description of a web page to describe it in search results. Learn more ...

Purpose

The meta description tells searchers what a web page is about. It is often displayed below the title in search results, and helps people decide if they want to visit that website.

Length

Search engines will read 200 to 250 characters, but usually display only 150, including spaces. The first 150 characters of the meta description should contain the most important keywords for that web page. Using fewer than 50 characters could mean you’re not saying enough about the page.

Content

The meta description should be engaging, and should include keywords that accurately reflect what visitors will find on the web page. The keywords should be the same ones that a site's potential customers are using to search. Include a site’s location if it is important.

  • Warning: The meta description is longer than 150 characters. Search engines will probably display only the first 150 characters, including spaces.
The meta description for this site's home page:
Afternic is your one-stop site to sell domains, park domains and to buy domains. Afternic is a domain exchange reseller and domain auction marketplace.

H1 Headings

The H1 heading is an important sentence or phrase on a web page that quickly and clearly tells people and search engines what they can expect to find there. Learn more ...

Just one H1

In most cases, a web page should have just one H1 heading. Using multiple H1 headings is okay if that is a logical way to organize the page, but they should be used sparingly. That’s because search engines can view multiple H1 headings as an attempt to signal that all the content on a page is equally important, a tactic that’s seen as an attempt to game the search engine algorithms.

Purpose

Search engines look for an H1 heading to determine what a page is about. Human visitors do, too.

Content and placement

The H1 heading appears on the web page itself, unlike the page title, which people will see mostly in search results.

The H1 tag (which contains the H1 heading) is usually listed first among the other heading tags for a page. None of the major search engines, however, will penalize a site for listing H2 through H6 tags ahead of the H1 tag.

The H1 heading for a page should be different from its title. Each can target different important keywords for better SEO.

  • Good: This page has one H1 heading.
H1 heading for this site's home page:

Robots

Your website's robots.txt file can tell search engines to ignore parts of your site. Learn more ...

Purpose

Website owners usually use robots.txt to let search engines know which pages or sections of their site shouldn't be indexed — for example, web contact forms, print versions of web pages and other content that's duplicated elsewhere on the site. Robots.txt can also be used to request that specific robots not index a site. For more information, read How To Use Robots.txt.

Be careful!

If you're going to use robots.txt, be careful not to accidentally exclude search engines from pages you want people to find. To learn more, read Don't Block Search Engine Crawlers.

Search engine robots

You'll need to know the names of specific search engine robots - or "bots" – if you’re going to exclude any or all of them from any part of your site.

  • Google’s bot is called Googlebot. Google is the world’s largest search engine, and is where many people discover new websites.
  • Bing’s bot is called msnbot. Bing also provides search results to people using Yahoo to search the Web. Together, Bing and Yahoo are the second largest search resource, after Google.
  • Baidu’s bot is called Baiduspider. Baidu is a major search engine in China, and the number of people using it is increasing rapidly.
  • AboutUs.org’s bot is called AboutUsBot. To create a Site Report, AboutUs uses crawling technology that’s similar to what search engines use.
  • Good: This website’s robots.txt file is not blocking major search engines from crawling its pages. Your website can appear in any engine’s search results.

Canonical Url

This website can live at www.AfterNic.com or AfterNic.com. It's best for your site's visibility to live at just one URL, or web address. You'll want to create a 301 redirect to the URL you choose from the other URL. Learn more ...

Choose one or the other

Whichever of these URLs you choose, make sure your website lives ONLY at that location, which is called the canonical URL for your site.

Be careful!

If you choose www.MyWebsite.com for your site, make sure people who don't type www can get to your site, too. Create a permanent 301 redirect from MyWebsite.com to www.MyWebsite.com.

If the same web page exists at two different URLs, people can choose to link to one or the other. Links from other sites to your website are valuable — they tell search engines that your site is important to people. By splitting valuable links between two identical pages, you're diluting the power of those links to help a page rank higher in search results.

  • Good: Your website resides at www.AfterNic.com, and AfterNic.com is permanently redirected to it.
