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 site, at least one of the plurality of content items being an original content item retrieved from an original content portal.

Claims (46)

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving information indicative of an original content request from a user, the original content request being part of a bulk domain generation process;

submitting, by use of a processor, a corresponding original content request to an original content portal;

receiving a response to the original content request from a writer at the original content portal, the response including an original content item;

notifying the user that the original content item was received from the original content portal; and

upon approval of the received original content item by the user, inserting the received original content item into a page of a site as part of the bulk domain generation process, the received original content item being inserted into the page according to a pre-defined template.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the original content portal is served from a separate website.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the information indicative of the original content request from the user includes a specification of a type of original content requested by the user.

4. The method claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pre-defined template specifies the layout for at least one page of a plurality of sites.

5. The method claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bulk domain generation process includes:

collecting 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; and

applying the pre-defined template to pages of a plurality of sites, each site corresponding to a domain name of the set of domain names.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein at least one domain name of the set of domain names is a domain name previously purchased by a user.

7. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein at least one domain name of the set of domain names is specifically identified by a user.

8. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the set of domain names is filtered based on a user context.

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

10. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the user-provided keyword is a keyword phrase.

11. A system for generating content for bulk domain generation, 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 including an original content request;

receive information indicative of the original content request from a user;

submit a corresponding original content request to an original content portal;

receive a response to the original content request from a writer at the original content portal, the response including an original content item;

notify the user that the original content item was received from the original content portal; and

upon approval of the received original content item by the user, insert the received original content item into a page of a site, the received original content item being inserted into the page according to a pre-defined template.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the original content portal is served from a separate website.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the information indicative of the original content request from the user includes a specification of a type of original content requested by the user.

14. The system claimed in claim 11 , wherein the pre-defined template specifies the layout for at least one page of a plurality of sites.

15. The system claimed in claim 11 , wherein at least one domain name of the set of domain names being derived from a user-provided keyword, the domain management module further:

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; and

applying the pre-defined template to pages of a plurality of sites, each site corresponding to a domain name of the set of domain names.

16. The system as claimed in claim 15 , wherein at least one domain name of the set of domain names is a domain name previously purchased by a user or is specifically identified by a user.

17. The system as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the set of domain names is filtered based on a user context.

18. The system as claimed in claim 15 , wherein filtering the set of domain names based on network search matching includes accessing a search engine to obtain information related to a plurality of related search queries.

19. The system as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the user-provided keyword is a keyword phrase.

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

receive information indicative of an original content request from a user, the original content request being part of a bulk domain generation process;

submit a corresponding original content request to an original content portal;

receive a response to the original content request from a writer at the original content portal, the response including an original content item;

notify the user that the original content item was received from the original content portal; and

upon approval of the received original content item by the user, insert the received original content item into a page of a site as part of the bulk domain generation process, the received original content item being inserted into the page according to a pre-defined template.
