This year I noticed something when I started to go through new Twitter marketing techniques for a client. Not one single domain forum owns their domain name’s Twitter URL.
When I owned a forum Twitter wasn’t around (I think) so I never got the URL. Being in domaining it’s sad that almost all of the URLs were grabbed by someone else. This is one of the drawbacks of the domaining industry chances are if someone sees it open they will register it. From NamePros who’s twitter name is suspended to DNF which one of the URLs has a message in Chinese. IDNF twitter accounts in any variation are gone. Only Domain State has a chance of owning their own Twitter account but I’ve PM’d the owners & I guess they aren’t interested in owning it.
I guess this comes to a problem now with the domain industry. Forum owners are not the content providers & people with great content as far as techniques & personal insights are able to report via their own blogs now. I haven’t done any of the things on IDNTalk.com that I had to do on the backend to promote IDNF like the link buying, blog advertising, SEO link exchanges, Twitter & Facebook could have been really useful back then & cheaper. It’s these backend marketing techniques that also attract new users & give you an opportunity to reach new audiences, while members never notice. For my event Agency Night, blogging, twitter, Facebook, Mixi all contributed to a success online campaign & achieving my goals.
I found some good information in your site and bookmarked to visit again . Thanks.
