Today we’ve launched two new sites, both focussed on .tel domain technology.

miggletelDirectoryBuilder

The first is the miggletelDirectoryBuilder. This enables .tel owners to collect directory submissions from free and paying customers.

Directory subscribers can not only submit listings to a .tel directory, but they can amend them as well. Directory owners have the ability to review all listings before pushing them live.

Premium listings are paid via PayPal, debit or credit card.

The current directory using miggletelDirectoryBuilder is brighton.tel, You can see this in action here.

If you’ve brought a .tel domain name with a view to building a directory then this could be the perfect product for you.

Full product details can be found here (PDF).

miggletel.com – Miggle Ltd’s commentary and analysis on the latest in the .tel space

miggletel.com is a site which showcases the latest .tel products and services from miggletel, as well as the best of what we’ve seen from the wider .tel development community.

It includes articles on our own insights into .tel directory, as well as a summary of the most interesting blog posts and tweets we’ve seen each day.

We know there are already plenty of other similar great sites which are talking about .tel and we’d be keen to flag these up to our users from miggletel.com in exchange for similar links from your site, so if you’re running something similar, please get in touch.

We’ve spent a bit more time today on one of our .tel domains, brighton.tel.

One thing that I wanted to find out since we last looked at these was how are the sites doing stats wise. To explore this, we’ve been downloading our log files and looking at these in telSAP, which was the best of a few of the stats solutions we looked at today. This is an obvious, but pretty key step required to measure how effective the sites turn out to be.

Another thing I’ve read a lot about is how well these domain names get (or don’t get) indexed by Google. brighton.tel is currently not in the top 100 search results for the search term brighton on Google, Bing or Yahoo! Nor, at present, should it be, considering how much work has been done on it. However, we are finding that there are some searches on which brighton.tel gets first page Google ranking on keywords that are part of the subfolders on the domain. This is really encouraging.

Finally, we’ve made use of the back-up feature that telnic have recently launched. We used this to download one set of data from one of our .tels and upload it to another. Basically, that XML DTD acts as a template we can now use to manage bulk uploads to .tels, which is handy.

My wife, Caroline, has spent a lot of this week up the allotment with the baby. Planting stuff. My interest in this venture will, shamefully, only start to kick in about six months time when she walks through the door with a trug of vegetables – hopefully with more parsnips this year than last!

We’ve been planting a few seeds at miggle this week as well – with the launch of our first .tel sites. We’re hoping they grow over the summer months in the same way as Caroline’s crop – but for now, do take a look at what we’ve done – even though they are just seedlings.

The most obvious one to check out is brighton.tel. We’ve listed a few of our favourite Brighton businesses on it – and we’ve also launched a new site – called miggletel.co.uk – from which Brighton businesses can sign up for a FREE or PREMIUM listing – or engage us to get their own .tel websites built. We’ve also added lettings.tel, motors.tel and jewellery.tel at the same time.

I’ve also published a few more as well – and what these show is how simply you can daisy chain .tel’s together. webdevelopment.tel links to miggle.tel links to alick.tel. Obviously, its just hyperlinking, its not rocket science – but it does mean, that providing I can keep on top of keeping alick.tel updated – then anyone who links to it will always have access to my latest info.

Telnic.org, the registry operator for the new .tel top level domain, have singled out miggle’s newly created .tel website – brighton.tel – as an example of a .tel that is “helpful, well-populated” and offers “innovative ways to keep in touch”.

Check us out on their .tel of the week page.

Now the .tel domain names are on general sale, it’s a really good time to build your business set up with this new way to communicate via the world wide web…

Building a .tel is a quick, easy and effective way of communicating your contact details. Think of it as a your own directory listing which can list everything about your company. It’s great on mobile phones too. Due to it’s revolutionary use of the DNS, the pages load very fast and when you find the number you’re after, you simply click it in your browser and your mobile automatically dials! Couldn’t be easier or more convenient.

At miggle.co.uk we’ve already started building some .tel websites and have been very impressed with what we’ve seen of their functionality so far.

Here is the view of www.webdevelopment.tel as seen from a PC or laptop (mobile view is a simplifed version). When building a .tel you can list any kind of contact information:

• Voice Calls
• Mobile Calls
• Email
• voIP
• Fax
• Web links
• Google maps
• Keywords
• Postal address

Having a .tel built for your business is a great way to improve your online presence whether you already have a website or need to get an online presence quickly and cheaply.

Here at miggle.co.uk we are already experienced in building .tel websites so if your thinking of improving your companies online presence then check out our website.
