Who would of ever guessed that Virtual Real Estate on the Internet would one day make many netpreneurers thousands, if not, millions of dollars.
I know I sure didn’t when I first got started online, but am glad I ran across the concept while searching the web one night.
The facts are true and John Reese who is an Internet pioneer and the author of one of the Internets most powerful home study courses called “Traffic Secrets” is just one of those individuals who is successfully profiting from his Virtual Real Estate empire as we speak.
John Reese has been around since the being when the Internet first became a commercial entity and knows what works and what doesn’t online simply because he is known as a Test Freak(I mean that in a good way John).

Now, some of you might be wondering what Virtual Real Estate is so I’ll give you a quick definition:
Virtual Real Estate is simply a Information Packed website with hundreds, if not, thousands of webpages full of targeted information.
That’s all they are. It doesn’t have to get any more complicated then that.
I’ll also give you some examples of VRE sites towards the end of this article.
Now that you know what Virtual Real Estate is, what there main purpose is and who is successfully doing it right now, lets dive into the — “6 Reasons WHY John Reese’s VRE (Virtual Real Estate) Concept Is The Way To Go In 2006″.
Reason #1. People come online for Information.
One of the main reasons WHY people come online is to search for Information that’s either related to a problem they’re facing or for some consumer reviews on a particular product or service they’re thinking about purchasing.
People rarely come online with the intent to buy something. Most of the time it’s for Information.
How do you think the Internet got the nickname – The Information Super-Highway.
Reason #2. VRE sites can target any Niche.
This is the true beauty of VRE sites simply because they can target ANY niche on the planet, it doesn’t matter.
They can be about Pets, Sports, Business, Family, Hobbies, and the list goes on and on.
I think you get the picture.
Reason #3. Us other peoples content.
The real cool thing about VRE sites is you don’t have to produce ANY of your own content if you don’t want to.
There are literally hundreds of places on the web where you can get and use other peoples work to build your VRE empire, and more importantly, they’re more then happy to give it to you.
Reason #4. Google will pay you if you want.
Want to make some $CASH$ at the same time?
Good, because Google will happily pay you for adding a little piece of code to your webpages by signing up for their Google Adsense program, and depending on what market your targeting, they could pay you some handsome commissions every month and all that is required to get paid is for someone to click on one of the Googles ads.
And again, all this can be achieved without you writing a single word.
Pretty COOL!!
Reason #5. Add targeted affiliate programs for more $CASH$.
Want to make even more money with your VRE sites?
Depending on what market your targeting like in Reason #4, you can also add others peoples affiliate programs that are targeted towards the content within your VRE site that usually pay between 35% to 75% on every sale made.
If you’ve been online for any length of time then you know that content is an excellent way to Pre-Sell to your potential customer, so you’ve already gotten your foot in the door to possibably make a potential sale.
There are many places online that offer affiliate programs. Simply type in – affiliate directories – into any search engine and they will display all the results for you.
Reason #6. Unlimited FREE Traffic to your VRE sites.
The more your VRE site or sites grow, the more FREE targeted traffic you’ll get.
Your probably asking, “where the heck does this FREE traffic come from?”
I’ll tell you where it comes from. It comes from search engines like Google, MSN, Yahoo!, just to name a few.
Content is “Search Engine Food”. And search engines love content, so in order for them to be continually fed the search engines send out a little robots called “Spiders” which crawl the web continuously looking for NEW webpages to index into their database.
So, the more content that is added to your VRE site or sites, the more often these little “Spiders” will stop by to give your VRE site a crawl and index any new content you’ve added.
Point being, the more optimized webpages your VRE site or sites have that get index, the more FREE search engine traffic you’ll receive.
Do you see NOW how Powerful VRE sites are and why you should consider building a network of these that target different niches?
All your doing is giving your potential customer what they want which is Information and at the same time offering them a solution by adding Google Adsense ads and targeted affiliate programs, which is where you get paid for your efforts.
And remember, you don’t even have to write a single word if you don’t want to, and you still get paid!
John Reese really hit a home run with this concept I have to say which is way he encourages all to start building and growing them in 2006.
Now as I mentioned at the beginning that I would give you some examples of what a VRE site might be so here are a few examples for you to get started with: Article Directories, Review Sites, Directories, Mini Sites and Niche Blogs.
Well, that’s it. Now it’s up to you to get your creative juices flowing and start building your network of profitable VRE sites.

Okay, it’s now time for the next installment of… “6 POWERFUL VRE(Virtual Real Estate) Business Models You Can Start Building In 2006 Using Google Adsense” series.
By now you should have a good idea of what Virtual Real Estate is and why it’s to your benefit that you start a network of your own VRE sites depending on the model you choose.
In the last installment of this series I covered “Article Directories”.
In this part of the VRE series I’m going to cover “Web Directories” in general and then give you some examples of what they might be and look like.
Sound good?
VRE Model #2. Web Directories.
An “Web Directory” is simply a directory on the World Wide Web that specializes in linking to other web sites and categorizing those links. Web Directory owners will often allow site owners to submit their site for inclusion. Then human editors will review their submission and if accepted, will be added to their database.
The one thing about Web Directories is they are often used as part of a website marketing strategy for being indexed in the major search engines like Yahoo!, Google, MSN to name a few.
The main strategy behind someone submitting there website to a directory is that a new site needs to quickly build inbound links from reputable sources. In doing this they will get a higher ranking within search engine results under there target keywords depending on the PR(popularity ranking) of that directory or inbound link.
That’s the basic run-down of what an Web Directories purpose is and why they make a great VRE business model.
Web Directories can be and target anything you want them to. It’s your directory, so you make the decision as to what it is about.
As your directory grows, so will its traffic.
And if you have targeted affiliate programs strategically placed on your directory along side your Google Adsense code, you could be making a nice, steady income form your directory like many others are right now.
Now… as I said at the beginning of this article I would give you some examples of some Web Directories with Google Adsense so you see for yourself whether or not this is something you want to venture into.
So, with that said, here are 3 directories that I think will give you a good idea of what to expect:
Free Stuff Directory:
All Free Things – http://www.allfreethings.com/
eBook Directory:
Wisdom eBooks – http://www.wisdomebooks.com/
Software Directory:
Software5 – http://www.software5.com/
Now remember, your Online Directory can be about anything you want. Your in control.
These are just some examples of whats out.
Did you happen to see the Google Adsense ads?
BINGO!
Also, pay special attention to where those Google Adsense ads are positioned because this is KEY to getting a good CTR(Click Through Rate) with your Google Adsense ads.
Now, at this point, it’s up to you to make the decision on whether or not this is the type of VRE business model you want to use and start.
I recommend you surf around and see whats out there with your interests in mind. By doing that you will be able to get some good idea’s as to what to expect and more importantly, model your directory and/or VRE sites from.
Well, that’s it for now.

When we talk about real estate as in buying and selling land, location is the most important criteria to be considered. What role does location play when we talk about virtual real estate since what you are selling are domain names and websites and not houses and lots?
These two realms are one and the same in principle. Visibility is the key in any business although it may be used in different forms. The place you are selling must be in a populated area whether it is a real house you are trying to sell or a domain name. In virtual realty, you require lots of people to come see your site and not just a few. Only when the product is exhibited will it command interest. Now how do you do that exactly? Again, the same tactics used by successful realtors come into play here. It is all about how you promote the product you are selling. There are thousands of ways to promote a website or a domain name. Search engines and their various marketing tools can definitely help you here as long as you know the right way to use these resources.
Your domain name should be related to your keywords and the target market. It is always a good idea to have your domain name as part of your keyword. If you use the right play of words between your domain name and your keywords, you can expect to be placed among the right search results and receive quality scores from search engines thereby pulling in targeted visitors. This way your requirement of gaining exposure is taken care of. Where the domain names and keywords match, the right combination is created for a better search result to appear and better visibility is therefore obtained.
When this happens, you only do not get to promote and sell whatever product you are selling on your site, but the importance of your virtual property is also elevated to a higher ground. You can then continue to benefit from its virtual location and as with land and houses, in due time, the value will also increase. If at all you do plan to sell it, you can be assured of a good income.
Now, what about those domain names you have acquired in the past for some particular purpose which has remained unfulfilled and which do not make money? These are by no means a dead investment. You can definitely make them work for you with the right marketing strategies and tactics that you would normally use with your active and profitable domain names. Use the power of search engine optimization (SEO) so the right kind of traffic is driven to the domain names that you are trying to awaken from deep slumber. Perhaps along the way, sometime, someone out there would be looking for exactly what you have and then you have the opportunity to drive a real hard bargain and make the most of your virtual investments.

Second Life is a virtual reality world which is used by people to meet others, create things, buy and sell items, work, try things out that they cannot in real life and basically create lives that mirror their dreams.
One of the biggest dreams a lot of people have is that of finding a love partner they can connect to on a deep level. In Second Life this can include having meaningful and deep romantic and sexual relationships. This is such a popular pastime that some of the most visited sites in Second Life are romantic clubs and hideouts.
But there are three things you must not do if you are thinking of dating someone, whether for a long term relationship or one night stand.
1. Not bother checking the person’s age.
There is no way to know someone’s age by their avatar. A 12 year old could be walking around in a fully adult looking avatar and a 50 year old can be in a 4 year old looking avatar. So how can you verify that the person is an adult and you are not about to commit **********?
Right Click on the person’s avatar, go to Profile and see if they have the words, “Payment Info Used”. If they do, it means that the person has a credit card or other form of payment method linked to their account. Although never 100% certain, in most cases this will mean the person is an adult because most kids don’t have payment capabilities for their Second Life accounts.

As the song goes ‘ How much is that doggy in the window?’ so we must ask ourselves and investigate our website value a little closer, there are many factors to consider of course. I guess it’s a little bit like buying a car, there is of course the cars ‘actual value’ and then there is its ‘perceived value’. Let’s look at one way we can
increase your site’s ‘perceived value’ with a small effort on your part.
Lets say you want to sell your car, one of the first things you will do (hopefully) to increase it’s value is give it a wash and wax, its no different really from doing a couple of things (before you put it on the market) to increase your website value.
One of the main things that buyers will want to know is how much traffic you have got going to your web site. Well, how much have you got? Let’s work on improving that.One of the first things you should do to increase the perceived value of your website is to increase its popularity. I didn’t say a lot of traffic.
Certainly, one of the best sales points for your website would be its popularity. It will pay you to have a look at your Alexa rankings and see where in the world you rank. If your website is fairly new then this is almost a ‘Where’s Wally’ exercise because it normally takes a few months to get a ranking at all.
One of the best ways to create this , in fact, is to write a few articles in relation to your products (if you are selling any) and even about your website in general terms.
Then it is just a matter of getting your articles published on this (EzineArticles) article site and watch the traffic start to flow. Now this will achieve two things, one, a direct increase in traffic (provided you have done your keyword research) and two, your Site’s articles will be listed on the foremost article site in the galaxy! This in itself will add to the prestige of your website.
In fact, you would also have started to generate an ongoing supply of visitors to your site and increasing your website value,one more thing, you sure you still want to sell it?
