1Plus GMAIL For Our Established Users

We are about to begin a test phase of offering 1plus email accounts (powered by Gmail) and free 1plus privacy on the domains owned by our users.

The first stage is the implementation of 1plus.net email accounts. So, if any user wants a [your_user_name]@1plus.net email account powered by Gmail then send a mail to support or click the link provided in your CPanel.

This offer is only available to verified, established users of 1plus, i.e. have an active account with several domains actually parked on the site and a relationship lasting no shorter than 8 weeks or so.

1plus.net email acounts will be removed from all users who have their account terminated at 1plus.net

Lots Of Lovely New Features

Were pleased to announce a whole range of new features requested by our users have now been tested, uploaded and are ready to use...

1. "My News Links" - This is solely for news domains. It allows you guys to create custom news columns...Using this tool will allow you to create news columns that you decide upon. You create them (making up to 25 links), give them a name and then your news domains will be completely specific to you and what news you want to show. It will also bypass any issue we might have had previously with duplicate content...

2. "Customizing" - In your domain manager you'll notice an edit option. Hitting this takes you to a page where you can modify or edit your domain. Now you may edit specific elements of your domain quickly and easily. Any field left blank will simply take your default options. The customize page also relates solely to the skin you have chosen for any particular domain.

3. "PPC feed manipulator". Previously, whatever keywords you chose for your news feeds also generated your ads. Now you can choose "ad keywords" that may be different to your news feeds...

4. "Domain Stats" Weve installed the ability for you users to insert a more comprehensive stats program - like google analytics e.g.. You may however use any stats 3rd party provider (not necessarily analytics) and place the code in the field provided on the customize page.

5. "Alternate Languages" You may now choose different language feeds for domains that are not English related. French, German and Spanish domain feeds are now available.

6. "Page Titles" Customize your own page titles

More features and add-ons are on the way.. :)

Evening News Skin Shows More Ads

We haved bowed to suggestions from some of our large portfolio users who have requested a change to our news "evening" skin so as to maximise the revenue potential. To this extent, we have added a third adsense banner and a horizontal text link on the page. This is in line with adsense terms and conditions..

Under beta, we have in fact noticed a considerable increase in click thru revenue as a result of these changes

50th Domain Sold

Im pleased to announce that last Friday we sold our 50th domain on behalf of one of our members. As usual, we helped in the negotiations (as weve done with most of the 49 previous sales) and acted as intermediary, holding the domain on behalf of the buyer, until payment had been received. As ever, we did this for no charge to either buyer or seller.

Latest News

Ok, so whats new with 1plus.net?

Currently, were working on providing a multi-language tiered site so as to offer alternatives for non-English related domains. This should come online within the next few weeks.

Were also updating our stats program. But our fully comprehensive, real time stats, did cause a major slowing of our database and operational functionality. The stats therefore track the visitors but only update infrequently. This will shortly be resolved and stats will update every day.

Additionally, we are creating a users portfolio page. This will list all domains owned by each individual user. Domains will only be listed if they are marked as "for sale". This page will be created very soon...

The entire site will also shortly be moved to a fully dedicated server and this will provide a stronger more stable platform.

Last week I also had the pleasure of being interviewed by Monte Cahn for webmasterradio.fm and if you can excuse my deteriorating voice and lack of lucidity as the interview rolled towards 2.00am (my time), please listen in ..

Hello....

Hi, my name is Ian Collier (as my profile might suggest) and this is my first bash at writing a Blog. I am webmaster and owner of 1plus.net. Primarily, Im writing this blog as a kind of support page for 1plus.net but additionally I might use this Blog to discuss and post about other domain related issues.. We do have an FAQ page at 1plus.net but I am hoping this blog will perhaps provide support and answers to newly raised issues on our site.
