The lovely "Love Train" video...

Probably the most interesting thing, about domain extensions, are the activities of the supporting communities of the domain extensions.
It basically does not matter, how your domain extension looks like, for it to be successful:
What depends and matters, is how it is promoted.
Follow the history of .com, and you will understand, how and why it got strong and popular.
You can follow the history of promotion and forum-support of any domain extension, and you might be able to discover parallels of smart endeavours, time (-line) and success. (Only love, provided by a fan community, is not enough, to make a domain extension succesfull. See .mobi, for example. It is viable, respectively still alive, because of the love it gets, but to be able to be sucessful, it will need some more support, by the powerful companies, that are supposed to be backing it up. And so, same with .tel...)
Basically, it is always common sense, that saves you, a project, or anything in progress that happen to be in a awkward situation.

What counts, are costly and smart pomoting, time and common sense, that must always be used.
The non usage of common sense and brains, it the death to anything.
The non usage of money, won't help promote, because promoting costs.
The cultivation of plein stupidity may be bad, in times, may be good in other times, because people are sometimes stupid, and trained by media and advertising, not to think, but only to consume, what is offered. The language of stupidity is a language, mankind has learned over the years, and understands. Whatever way you are able to make your self understood: You can earn money, if people understand, what you are selling.

The mixture, of intelligence, stupidity, sex, common sense, etc., is what sells.
Try to sell a perfect and usefull product, only by explaining how it functions, and for it is good: Consumers are not used, only to get dry facts served. They are spoiled, and used to get a daily dosis of adverts, that contain sex, crazyness, stunning effects, etc., and where they do not have to think, but only consume.

And now, here you are with the dot tel domain, in our world today: How are you going to sell it?
The „Love Train“ was popular, because it is funny and sexy, and only explained a minimum of the technology, idea, and features about .tel.
If you will, the „Love Train“ is a promotion video for dummies, that just want a good lough, and some sexual stimulation. Well, the „Love Train“ did the trick, and worked for a short while, and only for a few.
But who are the consumers of .tel?...: All sorts of people and groups. Speak to them (and about their needs and dreams) individually. Make ten completly different videos, addressed to ten different groups of consumers...
.
Anyway:
Here is the code for implementing the (premium qualitiy version of the) video within your blog (however, it is still a stunner and a eye catcher, and nevertheless, a lot of fun):
(Just copy and paste...):

SEO boosting with .tel

I am quite confident, that it works: better results with multiple same
keywords / multiplying the same keyword within the header of telproxy.
I studied three examples from Shahid, which he posted in the Telnic forum
(thre links to google pages, where one could find the keyword related search
results, respectively, his .tel subdomains, which are highly ranked for
searching in Google, due to his smart usage of keywords within the header
section of telproxy).

In other words: A .tel domainm, or subdomain can have a better Google search rank (not speaking of page rank, which is a different thing, I would say), than any other non-dot-tel subdomain (.com, .org, mobile.company.com, etc.), due to
smart "keywording", and the .tel technology (DNS/direct storage and exchange
of information/ faster times, for lightweight pages which us DNS technology
in the way that Telnic does).

If I understood others correctly, than no subdomain gets a page rank, or it is
discriminated for page rank. And basically, subdomains have a disadvantage
about Google indexing them.
But the given examples of .tel subdomains show me, that we can boost them for
search engine seachability (SEO), by using the extended space in the header
of telproxy, for inserting/entering/listing as many smart and multiplied
keywords, as possible.

So, it could be also simplyfied: More matching keywords, to match with search
terms = better SEO.

It has been so often the question: "How can I improve SEO of my .tel
domains?": And this may be the answer, now.

Further more: If you ask: "How can I improve SEO of my .com, .org, etc.?":
I say: Your SEO of your .com can befefit, if you have a related .tel domain
(same domain name for .tel, as well as a copy of that .tel domain on the
existing websit, under "contact us"). Because, often a small business .com
website does not get found, in Internet, but its related .tel domain does,
within reasonable time. With higher amounts of website visites, the website
will get ranked better, as well (a .tel domain is not a website, but a
webpage, and is not about web content, but about contact information).

What I am highly interested at the moment, is every thing about mobile phone
content, and making mobile content friendly for users. There are a few ways,
and I am trying to figure out, what "Firefox Mobile" can offer towards that.

Nota Bene!: There is a direct relation, if you will, between "new .tel page for mygreencompany" and "website found (mygreencompany)".
