The
Thursday business day began as usual
at 10am local time with a session in
which Domainfest Co-Founder
Jothan Frakes and DomainAgency.com
President Brian Berke shared
their insight on ccTLDs with
the audience. Several other topics
were covered through the rest of the
morning, then after an extended
lunch break, the show's final event
- an Executive Summary
Roundtable and Closing got
underway at 3pm.

After
that attendees were invited
out for a celebratory
night on Victoria
Harbour that was hosted
by newly launched domain
monetization company Premium
Traffic Limited
(PTL) who made its debut
during Domainfest Asia -
which is a story in
itself.
As
industry veterans know,
domain industry entrepreneur
Dr. Gregg McNair (who
was profiled in an October
2009 DN
Journal Cover Story)
and his team have been
leaders in developing
innovative and high
performance monetization
platforms for domain traffic
for more than a decade now.
It started in 2006 with the STRATA
rotational platform followed
in |
|
2008
with the integration of the PPX,
a CPA business that provided
further enhancements and
options. By 2012 a unique,
high performance zero click
platform trading as DMPro
was rolled out, then in 2014
Quotes.com became the
group's direct to brand
platform. |

Premium Traffic Limited |
McNair's
companies have served a high
volume, exclusive client
base, many of whom have been
long-term customers. With
so many brands and email
addresses Team McNair
decided it was time for all
of the group's monetization
platforms to be combined
into a single business.
That new entity, PTL, will
be owned and controlled in
Panama while technical and
administration support will
continue to be contracted
out of Hong Kong.
McNair said, "The Hong
Kong staff manually hand-map
each domain, and keyword
each domain to each
provider. They leverage
years of monetization
information and the Group
experience. The six senior
managers have been with the
Group for more than 10
years."
McNair added, "Apart
from the name change, the
product offering and
performance has been further
enhanced, promising
unbeatable returns. PTL has
integrated all the Group
platforms and is now
developing new products to
remain the |
clear
leader in monetization
options and performance. PTL
offers state of the art
user-friendly, real time
access, providing instant
multi platform optimization
solutions for every
name." |
McNair
said that domain investors holding
large earning portfolios can contact
PTL General Manager Steve
Bjerking to arrange a risk free
comparative test. He can be
reached by emailing Steve at
PTL.co.com.
Domainfest
Asia 2016, a show that grew
dramatically from its debut in Macau
a year ago is already getting
some great
reviews. That all points
to a bright future for this
latest event in the
NamesCon/Domainfest line.
