QR-Codes must provide mobile content only

Providing a Dot Tel domain, is a bit problematic, with the random web links. And because most provided web links on a Dot Tel domain, are no mobile web links.

I advise, to always ask the question, if your „content for QR-Codes“ is mobile phone friendly.

You can generate codes from text, phone numbers, email addresses, email messages, Google Maps Location, V Card, the most known social media links, iTunes, youTube, and so on.

But you must distinguish within website URL's.

Especially, when providing Dot Tel domains for QR-Codes, because mobile friendly URL's should be visible and selectable, as such. As mobile URL's.

You don't want to be annoying to the visitor of your Dot Tel page: Which is why it is smart, to create a separate subfolder, named, for example „mobile content“, and „non-mobile content“.

So that using the „mobile content“ folder will be „100% go“.
And the „non-mobile content“ folder data could be transfered to your desktop computer or laptop.

At present, you are able to mark mobile URL's within Dot Tel domains, with „web mobile“, or similar.

But as mobile web links, and non-mobile web links, are scattered all over the contact page, it would be differnt to select the right one, when being „on the go“.

The user experience, could be so much better for a user getting pointet to a Dot Tel domain, by a QR-Code. Otherwhise, if we don't make any difference between the URL's, the visit to your .Tel will end up in frustration and annoyance, having wasted precious time.

So, please keep an eye on those URL's you provide on your Dot Tel domain, when it comes to creating, displaying QR-Codes, and providing mobile web content for people who are offline, on the go, with their mobile phone, ready to snap QR-Codes.

The user won't read all this snapped web content, while he is on the go, but will bookmark many of the codes, until he is at home / home office, or in his office away from home, or in a public transportation, or caffee, restaurant, etc., when he can settle a bit, and use his attention for reading info from his smart phone.

Spice up your Dot Tel domain.

Design by www.teldesign.tel,
Alexander Schiesser MacLeod

Any website is quasi antother operation system, co-operating with your existing operation system (Windows or Linus).

Especially the Dot Tel domain, because it is a landing page, where you have to select, make decisions, and navigate, right from the start.

And so, you win, as an owner of a Dot Tel domain, if you offer it, and share it with users, so that they can have a nice experience, navigating through your Dot Tel site. You win, because you leave a good impression. Good impressions are often commentet by „word of mouth“, and that might bring some more traffic to your site.

Design: www.teldesign.tel,
Alexander Schiesser MacLeod

My message is, to populate and design your Dot Tel site, and make it work good for users/visitors.

Add color, folders, links, and last but not least: QR-Codes, from which your site can be pointed to, and scanned by either a mobile phone, or an other camera with a reader app (web cam).

Take a look, at a few examples with integrated QR-Codes:

http://electricenergy.tel/

http://weinwerbung.tel/

http://teldesign.tel/

http://annunci.tel/

(Codes 1-5:)
http://qrcb.tel/

So, what happens with the QR-Code that I integrated in the logo/picture field of the header?:
It get displayed within Google Search Images.
From there, surfers will scan it with their mobile phone cameras, and be imediatly brought to the related Dot Tel site. Which is then displayed on their mobile phone display.

Or, they will just click on the code, and land on your Dot Tel site.

Lots of different szenarios...

How it works:

What is a QR code?
A QR code is a two-dimensional code that is readable by your mobile smartphone. When you scan a QR code with a QR code reader app it will automatically open a related link on your phone’s web browser. Every QR code has it’s own link.

That’s very cool but what can I do with them?
We will create a sub-domain for you, and upload a QR-Code of your item description to the header-icon field.
QR codes give sellers a way to sell their online items in the offline world. Sellers can click on the QR code in their listing to print it out. Then, if you’re selling one of your items in a store, flea, or other physical location, you can put the printed QR code next to the item.
Potential buyers can scan the QR code and be taken right to the item’s www.annunci.tel listing. Since your listing contains more information on the item, it’s very useful for a buyer to see. They can purchase the item, or save the listing for later. It’s just another great way to sell your items.
If you want, you can give it a try with your smartphone on any listing. Just enlarge a QR code on a listing, aim the reader app at it and see what happens!

Do you want to sell an item on annunci.tel?:
Send us your item description with requested price and your contact email, to the following email address:
annuncitel@gmail.com

We will list your item, together with the related QR-Code, that we will generate.

Recommended usage of QR-Codes for Dot Tel domains:

1.) Create a colored code with „qrstuff.com“.
2.) Download it, and put on your image editor.
3.) Go to „Transparency“, and set „Aphacanal“, and then within the same, „Color to Transparency“.
4.) Save your transparent color code.
5.) Open up your Dot Tel control panel, go to „Design Panel“, and download the code picture to your logo space/field.

Your Dot Tel QR-Code, will be quickly indexed by Google Search, and will show up within Google Images, very soon.

Anybody can scan your QR-Code with their mobile phone or web cam, from Google Images, right from the computer screen: Your code data gets transfered to the mobile phone that scans your image (QR-Code), which imediatly decodes it into the web link, for viewing your Dot Tel page (main domain or subdomain). In case of a long domain name, or sub-domain name, it is recommended, to shorten the name with the URL shortener „bit.ly“.

How to get a lot of attention and customers for your small business mobile web site:

1.) Get a mobilized web site, or a mobile ready Dot Tel domain (.tel).

2.) Populate the pages (inclusive the sub-domains).

3.) Make an attractive web design.

4.) Generate a QR-Code from your domain name, by using a QR-Code Generator.

5.) Customize the QR-Code, so that it looks cool, by a skilled designer (for example me).

6.) Make a billboard with the code and only a little text on it. Example: http://bit.ly/f9P36w

7.) Get public advert space for your billboard at a strategic good place, where there is loads of traffic from pedestrians, respectively workers on their way back and fore to work, or during lunch time, shoppers, tourists, people strolling around the city.

8.) Mount/install your billboard.

9.) Promote your mobile web site in blogs. Use Google Favorite Places, to point to your billboard, office, or shop, etc, with your QR-Code.

Telnic Quo Vadis?

Supporting .Tel, doesn't mean, that Telnic does not have to change: It is a contstant pain in the Ass of any serious and ambitious .Tel holder.
No justification for sluggish promo and development. More honesty and transparency. It is wrong, to think, that Telchina will bring the main success. Success must establsh within the home market, first. Collaborating with Japan, would be smart. Time for QR-Code thinktanking and brainstorming. Don't miss the boat.
