The burgeoning .tel technology is revolutionizing communications by simplifying access to a full array of company contact information, including switchboard, SMS, mobile, fax, email, VoIP, premium number, call center, interactive voice response system, websites, and geo-locations. Putting this contact information virtually into the hands of buyers, .tel allows buyers to download seller contact information into their contact manager or mobile phone and even place a call with a single click.

Industrial Web Search takes the concept a step further by making .tel relevant to the industrial marketplace. Purchasing Agents, Plant Managers, Researchers and other company representatives assigned the task of finding a company to manufacture or supply a product or service now have a way to make contact as quickly and as easily as possible with a company that matches their search criteria.

Based on the principals of the user-driven Web 2.0, Industrial Web Search provides qualified contact matches by bridging the gap between how a buyer searches and how a seller refers to what he offers. A seller characterizes his contact information by associating descriptive tags, which are words and phrases that he feels accurately represent what he has to offer. As he is assigning these tags, the search tool provides suggestions based on search terms typed in by users, allowing him to learn and immediately incorporate the language used by his potential buyers to find him. This allows for the strongest match possible between seller and buyer, increasing conversion to sales opportunities for sellers while providing buyers with contact information for a viable source.

The beauty of Industrial Web Search and .tel technology is it doesn't require you have a website, although we recommend you have one. Unlike traditional search engines and directories, it is not controlled by categories and sub-categories or a mysterious, ever-changing algorithm. It is 100% user-driven!

Dot-Tel Road MapTelnic published a road map for .tel domains, Many enhancements and applications for .tel will be released soon, these applications will encouraging  more and more  people to join the dot-tel world. This is really big step for dottel domain names future great success .

1. Multi-lingual control panel :

.tel can be Edit and manage in many languages, tel is a top level domain, this will let the .tel users all over the world to manage their dottel domains in their own languages and increase the worldwide presence of .tels.

2. Folder management :

Rename folders and edit the link text in any language, make the link private or published in a specific profile, or delete the link altogether. Sub-domains of .tel are folders. Currently, after a folder is created, it is can not be renamed, If you want to change the folder’s name, you have to recreated a new one with new name and delete the old one, This is inconvenient when you want change the name, especially, you already add many contacts info and created subfolders under this subfolder. Nice thing is that you will be able to make the link private or public at your will.

3. .tel email :
you can set up email for your .tels, like info@thehotel.tel , this is an essential feature.
What is Dot-tel about, about communication &contact, email is one of the most important and mostly used contact tool in now days, now we will have it in near future.

4. Bulk updates :

Update multiple contacts at once, move all your .tel contents into another domain or sub-domain.

5. Custom .tel heading :

Customize the text that displays as the heading of your .tel web page instead of your domain name. You can enter text in any language and use special characters. At present, the heading is fixed which is your dottel domain name, you can not change it. for example, the heading for thehotel.tel is fixed to thehotel, this is also very important in terms of SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

6. Click-to-communicate :

Click a click-to-call weblink to your VoIP/Internet telephone number, VoIP is fast moving technology and widely used now, like Skype, thousands people are using Skype, and other web VoIP phone etc, This makes it very easy to communicate with VoIP.

7. Dynamic data:

Create a status message or set your time zone to show when and how you are  accessible.

8. New contact types :

Post usernames and gaming handles in your .tel domain.

9. Extended keywords :

Add longer keywords, up to 2000 characters long. Now you can only put very limited keywords, this is another good thing for SEO and form .tel to compete with thousands of websites with other extensions.

10. Traffic statistics :

See how many visits your .tel has via the web.  This is an essential help for moneytizing doe-tel site. Because there is no something like Google Adsense yet for .tel, it is little  difficult to moneytize dot-tels. But you can provide some kind services with .tel, like directory for companies to list their sites with a fee charge. But first thing they will ask how many visitors/hits to your .tel site? With this statistics, you have a base to negotiate the list fees and convince the companies to list on your .Tel site.  I have many .COM/Net websites on which I am using a web traffic counter (ewebcounter.com : which is very good one and you can use it free within certain ltraffic volume), from which I can see hoe many unique visitor/returned visitor, how many hits, what are the key words in search engine let these visitors to the sites, what is referrals, from which IP countries visitor are coming, etc. This is also very important for your SEO, you keep optimizing your site and you can check what is the SEO results from these statistics.

11. TelPages search :

Telpages :Browse .tel results using the official search engine, optimized for indexing .tel domains.

Because Dot-tel is very special comparing with other extensions, like it is not a “Web site”, It stores data in DNS etc, Dot-tel needs a special search engine, Telpages will provide a this search engine service for .tel. There are already several .tel only search engine live, like jepaa.com which is independently developed by a Switzerland company (Movetec GmbH), Jepaa has many nice features , besides you can search .tel domains, you can also search locations/MAPS in one place, but its search and rank algorithm still need to be improved. There are also some dot-tel search engines using Google Custom Search Engine (CSE), like Telsaurus.com , Telref.com , Telopedia.com , Telrific.com , dottelfinder.com , one special feature of dottelfinder.com is that you can search dot-tel sites and dot-tel  related web sites of other extensions in one place. (search for .tel-related info into hand-picked Web sites), Let’s see how good the official .tel search engine telpages will be. I wish Telpages will come out something like Google Adwords and Adsense for .Tel to moneytize .tel sites.

12. Multi-lingual TelFriends :

Manage your friend list in your own language.

Telnic is planning to realease some software for dot-tel: (.tel Software)
