Continuing
its mission to develop its service for the benefit of its community, Telnic
(telnic.tel), the organization behind the award-winning .tel domain, today
announced that Google AdSense will be supported in .tel names by the end of
March 2010.
Google
AdSense is a free program that enables website publishers of all sizes to
display relevant Google ads and earn additional revenue. As a .tel name does
not host a traditional website, Telnic is enabling .tel name owners with
AdSense accounts to easily integrate their account credentials using the free
control panel provided as part of the .tel service. The ads will then be pulled
from Google's ad network and displayed on the .tel web interface every time it
is visited from a computer browser.
"As
.tel evolves and more individuals and businesses look to generate new revenues
through the service, we will continue to respond to our community and build
integration in both ways with useful services that enhance the overall offering
of .tel," said Henri Asseily, CTO and Chief Strategist at Telnic.
"Whilst those with technical skills can take advantage of the
functionality and new business opportunities that TelAds provide, we heard a
call for a simpler solution so that everyday users can also have the ability to
use the world's most recognized advertising service, simply and easily."
Google
AdSense will complement, not replace, the existing TelAds functionality, which
enables .tel owners and service providers to populate .tel names with their own
sponsored advertising or rich content.
Once
Google AdSense has been successfully integrated, Telnic will consult its
community to see whether other advertising networks should be supported.
Since
March 24th 2009, over 275,000 .tel names have been registered by individuals and
businesses, providing a new publishing platform to reach potential customers.
"As .tel names contain only contact information and keywords, it's the
most direct communications platform you can get. People visit, choose their
contact method and then communicate. There is no subterfuge. The purity of
purpose is its major selling point," adds Asseily.
