Speculation is that Google will finally come out with a mobile phone in mid 2008. It will house a variety of Google’s current online services as well as allowing independent developers to create applications and software add ons. This is as reported by The Wall Street Journal.

Their primary goal is to make the apps and its services as easy to access to mobile phones as they are to personal home based computers. It appears Google plans to extend its advertising business to mobile wireless devices. It’s possible that Google may announce the mobile within weeks, according to the WSJ.

At one point it was thought that Google may manufacture its own mobile phone hardware themselves, but now the forerunner seems to be LG Electronics out of South Korea. Google is however expected to develop the mobile software themselves.

Google wants to replicate its success on PC based advertising and use it on their mobile phones. They believe that mobile based advertising will be the next new frontier to exploit as users are spending more time on the Internet using their mobiles.

On a worldwide basis, mobile ads is expected to reach US$1.5 billion this year alone and grow to over $11 billion by 2011, this is according to Informa Telecoms & Media.

The biggest question is how and who will Google partner with as their wireless carrier.

Alright, so what if it’s virtual, here is your chance and a real opportunity to own something, something of real value, well.. sort of. You can buy, sell or trade virtual cities, buildings, companies, domain names and anything else of value via Weblo.com. Weblo is described as a parallel virtual world where ownership of anything of value is possible. This site has been described as the internet’s version of “Monopoly, but on steroids,”.

This game, and yes you read right, uses real hard cold cash.
Here is the basics on how Weblo works:
Be the first person to virtually register either a piece of property, or a city or even a state and Weblo gives you the ownership of that entity. If you buy as an example a city, you will then be named its virtual mayor. Any place on earth that has an address is up for grabs: This includes the Empire State Building, your old hospital, your own house.

The property’s initial value is determined by a price index that takes into consideration the city or states real population and economy. It’s a game that anyone can participate in, have fun and even earn money. You can pick up some cities for as low as $10, buying a whole state in the US using real cash can cost you thousands. If you buy property on Weblo and follow their game plan, which involves “developing” your virtual site with relevant information to increase its value, it is possible to make money in a few ways. If you for example buy property in California, you can post maps as well as photos of famous landmarks such as Disney World or Hollywood etc. Showcasing and profiling the major attractions can increase the value of your property if you want to resell.

Weblo offers you paid incentive if you create a good showcase site. They will share ad revenue with owners who has a popular site. The more visitors that your site attracts, the more money you will earn. You can also resell the virtual property and site and make a profit. There is an example in the video of a Weblo member who originally bought Seattle for $40 and then resold it for $2,000.

Weblo.com has recently received $3.1 million in funding (yes, in real cash), from Vantage-Point Venture Partners. The fact that Weblo was even able to raise this additional funding from a venture capitalist firm states that they are on the right track and there is some substance to their idea.

eMusic has recently signed a deal with AT&T, the mobile phone carrier, to offer its downloadable free music service through the mobile provider’s cell phones, thus removing the necessity to use your computer to access eMusic’s catalog of music artists.

Up until now, a computer was required to access and purchasing songs from the eMusic’s store, which is at number two in the nation next to Apple’s iTunes. eMusic, focusing on independent indie type of music labels has been their primary market, and this niche has worked rather well for them, enabling unknown new artists to gain high recognition in finding audiences.

The same indie music concept also extends to their buying consumers that are constantly looking to find new music other than the top 40. With the new partnership between eMusic.com and AT&T, its users will be able to find new and upcoming artists just as easily as finding their favorite top mainstream artists.

So does this not create a conflict between the marriage between the iPhone and AT&T? It appears AT&T already has this angle covered, which is, they are focusing on the Apple follower as well as music lovers that don’t yet have an iPhone. While you can enjoy iTunes for those who has an iPhone, you cannot buy from other music providers as emusic with the iphone device.

eMusic distinguishes itself as the top site for independent music. It currently has a database of over 2.5 Million MP3s from over 90,000 albums. eMusic is different from other services as they offer MP3s that are completely free from copy protection. This equates to eMusic customers owning 100% of the music they download. The MP3’s play on all portable music formats (yes, including the iPod etc.).

Other downloadable digital music services has either an extra fee for downloading additional music or simply do not offer eMusic’s flexibility that they provide for their customers. eMusic is also international and not restricted just to North America. Any customer from any where in the world can download music from eMusic.

This Innovative Video Series Explains In A Step By Step Format Simple Tactics To Earn Big Profits From Expired Domain Names
Here is information on how to profitably buy and sell domain names, which to this point, has to be one of the best kept secret income streams on the internet. Every website begins and ends with a domain name. This is the new virtual real estate at its best. Like traditional real estate.. there is a saying that “They Are Not Making Any More Land”, well the same applies true for domain names. The alphabet is limited.. and it cannot make anymore domain names. Domain names of value.

You are invited to join a select group of insiders that has been consistently making monster profits utilizing a simple duplicative process regarding the most valuable property on the internet, domain names.

There has recently been an article published in the Wall Street Journal as well as Business 2.0 magazine about how only a few select individuals are making online fortunes from investing in domains names and either holding onto them for passive income or flipping them for huge profits. The old adage applies… Buy Low - Sell High.

Here Are What Some Of The Major Media Outlets Are Reporting:

“You can forget about condos and strip malls. Domain names, VRE, which is the real-estate of the internet, has been delivering far greater returns.”

“Parked domain names will become a billion-dollar industry, both for search operators like Google/Yahoo as well as for Internet real estate developers.”

“Internet domain names are once again a hot commodity. But unlike the dot com bust of the 1990s, when speculators were buying domain addresses in hopes of flipping them later for big profits, many today are aimed towards cashing in on online advertising.”

“Domain names are the new real estate,” says Warren Adelman, who is president of GoDaddy.com.”

We have all heard the phrase… “Follow The Money!”

The huge offline investors are now jumping into this virtual market. Such names as Ross Perot and Howard Schultz’s (of Starbucks) has invested millions of dollars into companies that buy, sell and park domain names. You know these individuals do not throw these types of dollars into risky ventures that are not certain.

Each and every domain name available, whether new or used is or can be valuable virtual real estate. They all represent some type of “real” dollar value that can be bought for cheap, sold or developed and resold for a profit. They can also can be leased or rented out. Domain names follow and share the same characteristics as traditional real estate.

The Expired Domain Name Market
Did you know that over 35,000 registered domain names expire (on average) every day?
This is because of a variety of reasons such as:
- the original owners forget or fail to renew them
- the original owners has moved on to other things
- some don’t have the time to maintain their websites
- some cannot simply afford to continue their web business

One of the biggest reasons why domains expire is that the owners just simply, plain forget about their domain names or have inactive email addresses missing the renewal notices.

Now there are thousands of these daily expiring domains that are astray that were at one time promoted by their previous owners resulting in them having some value. As a result, most still receive traffic from search engines as well as some having PR ranking as well as back-links to draw traffic to that vacant domain.

The “secret” of course is knowing how and where to quickly and easily find these valuable expiring domain names. You may think that most of these valuable domains sell for high prices that you can’t afford. The truth is most fresh expired domains can be had for just $60 or lower, which includes the registration fee for a year. So in essence, you can pick up a domain that may be worth thousands… for as little as $60!

Some Of The Best Methods For Profiting From Domain Names:
1.) You can resell the Domains For Big Profits. You can pick up most of these expired domains for $60 or less, the real actual value is often a lot more that. Like conventional real estate, buy low and sell high.

Here Are Some Domain Sales In 2006:

- CreditCare.com - Sold For $125,000
- Bingo.net - Sold For $56,500
- Models.us - Sold For $30,000
- Laundromat.com - Sold For $70,000
- Diamonds.com - Sold For $7,500,000 (yikes!)
- Cameras.com - Sold For $1,500,000
- FunnyAds.com - Sold For $100,000
- MaxMusic.com - Sold For $31,000
- Vodka.com - Sold For $3,000,000

There are some very big numbers for domains such as Diamonds.com and Cameras.com, but you should also be focusing on the domains such as FunnyAds.com and MaxMusic.com. Name wise, they are not fantastic, but they had value to someone.

You can be assured that the VRE (Virtual Real Estate) investors who paid the “big bucks” for these domain names fully expect that they will significantly increase in value in the future. So you can see why people like Ross Perot are willing to invest millions to get in on the domain name market!

2.) Park Domains For Easy Passive Income. If you do not have an existing website for the domain, you can make passive profit by using the various “Domain Parking Services”. These free services allow you to profit from your domains just by using their service. The domain parking website will host your domain name by providing a landing page showing “display ads” on the site. When a visitor clicks on an ad, you get paid a portion, much like Google Adsense.

So How Much Can You Earn From Parked Domains?
That depends on the amount of traffic the domain generates. So it is important that when you purchase any domain name that you move it to a parked domain vendor, otherwise the domain registrar, who offers free parking, will benefit from the traffic.

3.) An important method in achieving high search engine rankings are relevant back links from other web sites. So if you own a high value domain name, other webmasters will be willing to buy links from your web site and they will pay you monthly for that. The amount you’ll charge depends on a variety of factors. It is not uncommon for get $20 per link and be able to sell around 10 links every month, all this from a single web site.

4.) Redirecting highly profitable visitor traffic to other web sites you own or even to affiliate sites. If a domain name has traffic, you can easily just redirect it to another site. Buying domain names that are relevant to your topic (keywords), is a quick way to increasing traffic.

5.) Build A Website To Take Advantage Of The Domains Existing Traffic. One of the most easiest ways to start a site is using an expired domain that already draws traffic.

6.) Hold Onto The Domains While The Value Increases. Park and hold on to the domain as will naturally gain in value. The prices as well as the demand will continue to rise.

All domain names, but more especially the .com domains, are becoming hot commodities and a limited resource. Acquiring good domains names and hanging onto them has proven to be an excellent strategy for huge profits. These .com domains are excellent as they are virtually guaranteed to increase in value over time. Back in 1996, it was easy to register great one or two word .com domains. Now, they are all gone. Obviously the shorter the domain name, the harder they are to own.

So it is obvious that you can make thousands of dollars in profits from buying the right domains, but the question is.. how do you find them?

So you’ve got a website or a series of websites and are searching for the best solution to house your web hosting requirements. You are looking the privacy, security and control of a private dedicated server, but cannot justify the cost. A shared web server does not offer the flexibility, speed or disk space that you require as you expand. Consider a solution that offers the affordability of a shared server and the luxury, privacy and power of a dedicated server. The solution? Virtual Private Servers by NetworkSolutions.

Shared hosting is a option for a majority of websites as they are extremely affordable. The drawbacks of shared web hosting however is that the “shared” service competes with other websites for the same services: RAM, disk space, CPU and the bandwidth, which can often be at capacity or oversold. This can considerably affect speed, service and the function of your site as others are fighting for the same resources. If your website is still relatively small, these shared resource issues may not yet be much of a problem. Another disadvantage of shared hosting is the lack of system-level control. There is no flexibility or control over system operating software or scripts.

Now the majority of webmasters do not need to worry about these issues, but there is a growing number of webmasters that do. If you fall into that category or like to plan ahead for future growth, consider looking at Virtual Private Servers (VPS) for your web hosting solution.

A Virtual Private Server is a single physical server that’s been divided into a series of “virtual servers”. Although the physical server’s resources, such as RAM and disk space, etc. are still being shared, each Virtual Private Server is operated completely independently from each other.

The independence of owning your own VPS account allows you to run and install scripts, software or even your own Operating System if you want. All this without effecting the other virtual private servers on the same physical server. This is possible because all accounts are granted “root” level access. This gives you the ability to install or remove any type of software or install firewalls or other privacy measures. VPS also gives you the option to create any additional accounts that you want, set any type of permissions or restrictions etc. Essentially, you have the same control that you would get from dedicated private servers, but at a much lower cost.

Virtual Private Servers also offer more security than a shared web hosting service. On a shared server, all the websites and domains on that particular server share the same operating system. If the server happens to get hacked or contracts a virus, all of the sites will be vulnerable and exposed.

Because Virtual Private Servers are virtually divided by an independent wall, if one of the other VPS happens to get hacked, none of the other accounts on the same physical server is visible to the hacker. They effectively act like completely different entities.

Since Virtual Private Servers are considered to be private servers and thus allows you complete control of the system, there is a potential of running into system problems if you are not familiar with what you are doing. It is possible that you can delete the wrong files, or set the permissions incorrectly, or expose your VPS to security vulnerabilities if you are not careful. If you are not familiar with web server administration, it would be worthwhile and recommended that you hire someone who is familiar with IT to maintain your VPS web service.
