Topic 1: European ccTLD and IDN Opportunities Experts: Sergey Gorbunov, Hennie Groot Lipman For domain investors, where should you be concentrating your buying efforts? For corporate brand managers, do ccTLD and IDN domains represent a fast, easy way to penetrate into new markets? Refine your ccTLD and IDN plans by joining fellow attendees and respected experts in discussing these important questions. Topic 2: Alternative Ways to Monetize Domain Traffic Whether you are a domain investor using a parking service, or a publisher offering rich content, your goal is to maximize the RPM on each domain. For some domains, PPC ads may not always be the best way to monetize. Learn from fellow attendees and invited experts about monetization alternatives such as CPA, affiliate networks, lead generation, and more. You will also hear helpful opinions on what website development technology, content sources, and service providers are the best for monetizing traffic originating in various regions of the world. Attendees will also benefit from discussions around what type of domains are likely to perform better using the alternative monetization models. Topic 3: Selecting Keywords That Produce Traffic You can't generate revenue if you can't attract high converting traffic. And you can't attract high converting traffic unless you are leveraging the right keywords in a variety of ways. Are you using the most efficient and effective tactics and techniques for selecting keywords to include in your domain name purchases, site content, meta tags, or ad campaigns? Experts will be invited to discuss European keyword tools and strategies that can help maximize the success of your SEO, SEM, and domain name buying efforts. Topic 4: European Legal Issues Impacting Domain Investors This is your chance to get free advice on the latest European legal and tax issues impacting your domain investment decisions. Ask the experts, or listen to the answers given in response to other attendee questions. Either way, this discussion will help you make the right decisions, and help you protect your domain name (internet real estate) assets.
