Top Ten Guidelines for Homepage Usability ala Jakob ;P

Dia bilang:

Include a One-Sentence Tagline

Write a Window Title with Good Visibility in Search Engines and Bookmark Lists

Group all Corporate Information in One Distinct Area

Emphasize the Site’s Top High-Priority Tasks

Include a Search Input Box

Show Examples of Real Site Content

Begin Link Names with the Most Important Keyword

Offer Easy Access to Recent Homepage Features

Don’t Over-Format Critical Content, Such as Navigation Areas

Use Meaningful Graphics
Don’t just decorate the page with stock art. Images are powerful communicators when they show items of interest to users, but will backfire if they seem frivolous or irrelevant. For example, it’s almost always best to show photos of real people actually connected to the topic, rather than pictures of models.

ngelelang domain di ebay.com

Ada yg. udah pernah coba? Katanya si Zain di sini, ada beberapa langkah yg. mesti diperhatikan:

Get Registered
To sell anything on eBay, registration is required. Registration is free, but there is a small fee to list items for sale. Buying is free, and can begin right away — and there are no eBay fees to buy, only to sell.

Do your Homework
After you’ve registered successfully, do a little research to find out where domains should be placed for sale. eBay has dozens of categories, and one is of course the Domain Names directory: .com Domain Listings, while the other is the Businesses for sale–> Websites section (if the domain being sold points to a developed site): Businesses for sale —-> Web sites.

Choose your Listing Type
Featured Listing, Premium Listing, dan Homepage Featured.

Decide on the Auction Duration
The next choice you’ll need to make is the auction duration. As of now, 3, 5, and 7 days are free, while 10 days is not. I always use 7 day auctions, and so do most other sellers.

Get an Appraisal
Appraisal is an important factor in buying and selling a domain name. Whether the domain is a word in the dictionary, or has been made up, consider having a domain appraised by an appraisal authority.

Sisanya, kalo tertarik, baca sendiri. Kalo ada yg. sukses ngelelang domain di sono, cerita-cerita ya 🙂 Btw, ini bukan iklan soal ebay lho…;P

Dot-Com Still the Main Domain!

Biarpun udah ada dot-biz dan dot-info, tapi Dot-Com Still the Main Domain!

Menurut Joanna Glasner, Dot-com, after all, has long been the chosen suffix of nearly all the most-visited sites on the Internet. Heck, it even had a stock market bubble named after it, not to mention an entire subspecies of human, the dot-commer. Add in the fact that many folks got burned speculating on dot-com domains, and it seemed logical that new suffixes would be poised for a slow takeoff.
