Welcome.

So you have some domains, you haven't yet developed them, you may not trust other mini site or parking page providers and you want a little more control...Yes....??

If so, then 1plus.net is the site for you..

Whats it all about?

1plus.net was born in the Spring of 2006 and, at time of writing, provides automated websites for nearly 40,000 domains and for over 1100 registered users. 1Plus is a site designed equally for the benefit of the domain owner and the visitor alike.  Unlike traditional monetisation parking sites - the likes of which provide parking skins that ensure visitors stay for just about as long as it takes for them to hit the 'Back' button - 1Plus can either be a content rich news site; providing multiple and unlimited pages for each of the domains it serves, a fully functioning blog or an attractive parking page. Constantly improving and developing, we provide free hosting for all, a free domain sales service and also multiple language feeds in addition to English. The site has been written by domain owners, for domain owners, it is fully customisible and totally FREE.

So, what do you want to do? You can develop and customise your sites and switch between skins and themes very easily - And do all this without ANY programming or web designing skills whatsoever. You may host your own blog or news sites in which to serve your very own advertisements or, very shortly, usilise our new parking program (currently in test) and provide your visitors with an attractive parking page (example here). We also intend to allow our users full customisation ability so that you can make your very own version of our parking templates using pictures, colours and themes of your choice. As a community we intend all well designed attractive templates to be shared with our other users.

So, first up! How does it work?

1. Very simply, you upload your domain names (once you have created your free account) in your user admin panel at  www.1plus.net - Our bulk upload tool allows you to do this in a matter of minutes. Simply upload your domains without the "www" etc i.e. YourDomain.Com

2. If your choice is to make news or blog pages, first up insert your chosen global/default ad banner code into your "my default options" - this can be done using any code provided by the various ppc or affiliate program providers: Adsense, YPN, CJ.com, tradedoubler or your own custom made banners etc etc. Basically, the choice is yours. You may use multiple banner codes, alternative banner codes (when your primary PPC server cannot serve them) or use your very own banners and / or text links. Again, the choice is yours. You may even customise different banners and different skins for individual domains in addition to using the global option. You can also set your own meta tags, descriptions, page titles, keywords, add you own tracker like google analytics etc, set your own adsense keywords, write your own news link columns and change the language - all available when using the "edit" feature in your domain manager. 

If this all sounds a mite confusing right now, dont fret, a simple solution is to just enter your adsense merchant id number on your "my default options" page (using the format "pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXX"), set a main keyword (main kw) and the site will do the rest. Check out our "Domain Test Drive" page and get a basic view of what your site might look like.

3. If you wish to let us serve your domains using our soon to be launched parking program then watch this space and more news will be available soon. The clean / clutter free templates will look like this. Or our "lite" version like this.

4. In your "domain manager", set the main "keyword" for each of your domains (this is shown as "Main KW"). If you want to use multiple keywords in which to generate your news, simply separate the keywords with spaces. You may also set your category and sub category if you might wish to select our "soon to be launched" domain parking programme.

5. And finally, set your domain Nameservers at your domain registrar to : ns1.1plus.net and ns2.1plus.net.

(Alternatively, you may Url redirect each of your domains to www.1plus.net/your_domain_name/ (you may mask your domain if you require). If you use URL redirection please DO NOT forget to re-direct using the correct address, in particular forgetting the "/" at the end of the URL is a common mistake.)

And thats it.... Your site will be live, hosted and (hopefully) earning you money straight away.. :-)

Reported click throughs have been up as high as 20% and one user has reported his adsense earnings are up from $62 a month to $290

Why should I bother...?

1. If you want news or blog, you have 100% control. You get 100% of your revenue from whatever advertising supplier you choose and can customise everything. Your site is fully optimised and your natural traffic WILL increase.
2. The news and blog sites write all their own content based upon the keywords you enter. Two examples of our different news skins can be found <Here> and <Here> These are sites showing latest news and links from various ad providers, stipulated by you.  We also now have a blog skin <Here>, or a regular parking page <Here>
3. The site writes further open ended optimised pages for you so that a single domain of yours can have additional web presence. See golf.sc/travel
4. Each verified domain marked as "for Sale" is listed on our domains for sale page (a page that is indexed by the search engines numerous times a day) - this ensures even a newly registered domain is indexed and listed within a matter of days
5. The site also offers a free escrow domain sales service with no commission - thus ensuring you receive 100% of any domain sale values.

Questions...

1. What size banners can I have?

On our news pages, two banner spaces are provided for. 468X60 Headline/leaderboard banner and 120X600 skyscraper. You may also use additional banner codes of your choice or customization provided they are of the ppropriate size. For our Blog and Parking pages, all you need to do is insert your adsense merchant and / or your "revenue pilot" id numbers.

2. What about your straight parking page?

We did beta test an adsense for domains straight parking page (which we have been approved for) but this involves creating a bona-fide business and paying users etc - a decision we did have on the back burner. For all those who prefer the parking page as a first choice, this is still available with the feed coming from Revenue Pilot. Simply apply to them using your 1plus.net parked domain. The latest news on our own parking feed is a few weeks away an development is almost there for 1plus to become a one stop shop for domainers. We want any new service to be right from the word go. We will continue to have news/blogs and a new article driven template that you guys can customize to your own needs. But for domains that have natural traffic we will soon join the domain parking provider set and bring you our version of parking templates. As ever we intend to be different and intend being 100% transparent i.e. we will show you what your clicks have earned and what you get from that amount. We also intend to reward higher earners with higher revenue share.

3. Whats in it for you when you show news and blog sites?

Very little. And we intend to keep it this way. However, in chat with our testers, they suggested and we agreed to use the house banner code once every 10 page views.

4. Can I customise my banners for individual domains instead of having a global banner code?

Yes.

5. Can i simply advertise my domains without hosting them with you?

Yes. Although we cannot see any reason why you would still want to park elsewhere, you may still create a 1plus account and upload your domain names "for sale". These will show on our domains for sale page. The only difference between hosted domains and those parked elsewhere is that domains not hosted by us incur a 10% sales handling fee if or when you receive and accept an offer to sell. Also, domains not parked on the site will also not show users banners.

6. Can I advertise my domain on the 1plus home page?

Yes. Each registered user gets 1 free "featured" domain which will appear on our home page (in rotatation with others).

7. Are there any restriction/s on ccTLD's and or type and style of domains?

No. You can park any name you want. All we ask is that offensive and/or adult related domains do not get featured (and appear on our home page). Non-english related domains are supported but certain column headers and text remains in English.

8. Are the mini sites against adsense or yahoo's TLA's ?

No. All the pages are full of content and not "made for adsense"

9. Can I use URL masking if I use URL redirection?

Yes. No problem whatsoever. The only drawback using this technique is that you will have to set your own metatags and titles at your registrar.

10. Will my domains be indexed in their own right or as a sub domain of 1plus.net?

If you point your domains using a change of nameservers, you will have a fully hosted, optimised and indexed domain in its own right. Some domains already have 300 indexed pages.

11. Can i advertise my products, services and or websites on any other of the 50,000 page views per day?

Yes. To help pay for hosting, we are allowing horizontal keyword text link adverts to appear on all our pages for a very small fee, click here to place your order

12. When do you pay me?

We dont pay anyone.. All the ads you choose to serve on our site are provided by 3rd party companies, the likes of which you decide. You must create an account with the likes of revenue pilot, adsense, yahoo, CJ.com yourself - and these guys pay you for the traffic/sales you provide. Once you have created your 1plus account, links to these providers are available in your user control panel.

13. I have applied for an account but havent received the confirmation email?

Certain email clients such as AOL (in particular) auto bounce server generated emails. If you havent received your confirmation link, check you spam box. If it isnt in there, send an email to support from the email you registered with. We would be grateful if users did not try and register from AOL email accounts in particular.

And thats about the long and short of it...

I hope you will enjoy your experience with the site and earn some decent revenue as a result...

As a footnote, obviously if you have any problems in your set up or questions that go unanswered feel free to email admin@1plus.net or visit the 1plus blog. There is also a long discussion thread going on at NamePros.com
