Abstract

A system and method for enabling networked computer users to bulk create and manage multiple web domains is disclosed. A particular embodiment includes collecting, by use of a processor, a set of domain names for bulk content development, at least one domain name of the set of domain names being derived from a user-provided keyword; filtering the set of domain names based on network search matching; automatically submitting at least one domain name of the set of domain names for purchase by a domain purchase agent; applying a template to pages of a plurality of sites, each site corresponding to a domain name of the set of domain names; and inserting a plurality of content items into the pages of the plurality of sites, at least one of the plurality of content items being an original content item retrieved from an original content portal.

Claims (37)

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

collecting, by use of a processor, a set of domain names for bulk content development, at least one domain name of the set of domain names being derived from a user-provided keyword;

filtering the set of domain names based on network search matching from searches made by network users, the searches made for a plurality of domain names in the set of domain names;

automatically submitting at least one domain name of the set of domain names for purchase by a domain purchase agent;

applying a template to pages of a plurality of sites, each site corresponding to a domain name of the set of domain names; and

inserting a plurality of content items into the pages of the plurality of sites, at least one of the plurality of content items being an original content item retrieved from an original content portal.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein at least one domain name of the set of domain names being a domain name previously purchased by a user.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein at least one domain name of the set of domain names being a specifically identified by a user.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 including filtering the set of domain names based on a user context.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein filtering the set of domain names based on network search matching including accessing a search engine to obtain information related to a plurality of related search queries.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the user-provided keyword is a keyword phrase.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the template specifies the layout for at least one page of the plurality of sites.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the original content portal includes an interface through which a writer can submit the original content item.

9. A system, comprising:

a processor;

a database, in data communication with the processor, for storage of domain information; and

a domain management module, executable by the processor, to:

collect a set of domain names for bulk content development, at least one domain name of the set of domain names being derived from a user-provided keyword;

filter the set of domain names based on network search matching from searches made by network users, the searches made for a plurality of domain names in the set of domain names;

automatically submit at least one domain name of the set of domain names for purchase by a domain purchase agent;

apply a template to pages of a plurality of sites, each site corresponding to a domain name of the set of domain names; and

insert a plurality of content items into the pages of the plurality of sites, at least one of the plurality of content items being an original content item retrieved from an original content portal.

10. The system as claimed in claim 9 wherein at least one domain name of the set of domain names being a domain name previously purchased by a user.

11. The system as claimed in claim 9 wherein at least one domain name of the set of domain names being a specifically identified by a user.

12. The system as claimed in claim 9 being further configured to filter the set of domain names based on a user context.

13. The system as claimed in claim 9 being further configured to access a search engine to obtain information related to a plurality of related search queries.

14. The system as claimed in claim 9 wherein the user-provided keyword is a keyword phrase.

15. The system as claimed in claim 9 wherein the template specifies the layout for at least one page of the plurality of sites.

16. The system as claimed in claim 9 wherein the original content portal includes an interface through which a writer can submit the original content item.

17. A non-transitory machine-useable storage medium embodying instructions which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:

collect a set of domain names for bulk content development, at least one domain name of the set of domain names being derived from a user-provided keyword;

filter the set of domain names based on network search matching from searches made by network users, the searches made for a plurality of domain names in the set of domain names;

automatically submit at least one domain name of the set of domain names for purchase by a domain purchase agent;

apply a template to pages of a plurality of sites, each site corresponding to a domain name of the set of domain names; and

insert a plurality of content items into the pages of the plurality of sites, at least one of the plurality of content items being an original content item retrieved from an original content portal.

18. The machine-useable storage medium as claimed in claim 17 being further configured to access a search engine to obtain information related to a plurality of related search queries.

19. The machine-useable storage medium as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the original content item is in one of XML, HTML, PDF, MP3, MP4, or Atom.
