Keep Track of Your Domains with Domain Log Book
I’ve met quite a few people over at the YoungGoGetter forums and indeed they’ve turned out to be really good online mates of mine. One such recent newcomer to the forums was Mubashar or Mubs as he likes to be called. I started talking to him on MSN and he told me about his Every5Weeks project where he aims to develop and launch 10 websites, one every 5 weeks.
Therefore, when he ordered up a Sponsored Review for DomainLogBook, a site that is part of the Every5Weeks project, I was a little hesitant to see whether it was going to be a quick “Made for Adsense” site looking to earn some quick ebucks.
I was pleasantly surprised.
Here’s a quick quote from Mubs’ About page:
Okay I own a lot of domains. Most of them have websites running on them, and I was having trouble keeping track of all of all them.
Domain Log Book is the place for you to track all your domains, simply add them to your log book, and see their Google page rank, and Alexa traffic rank on one page.
A very simple quote, and this simplicity is a paramount theme throughout the site. The design as you can see above has an attractive logo, and a nice “earth-feeling” colour scheme. The top navigation is a little hard to make out – but I love the integration of the Adsense ad unit, which is a little deceptive as it appears in the traditional navigation area.
Furthermore, customer login and signup appear on the homepage, so whilst this reduces pageviews and earnings potential for Mubs, it’s really convenient for us users who don’t want to wait for yet another page to load. Anyway, I signed up for an account to see what I would be getting as a customer to the site and to see how well I could track my domains:
I only entered a few of my domains, but instantaneously, its easy to see when my domains are going to expire, what their rankings are (in terms of Pagerank and Alexa) and when the stats have been updated. This in itself, makes it an awesome tool for those domainers who have got hundreds and thousands of URL’s which need looking after and tending to. A simple “order” function, also ranks your domains with best first if you want to see your high flyers.
A tiny criticism of this page would be that I don’t know what the “Compete Rank” is. A simple explanation above the results would be a quick solution to this. Also a suggestion of mine would be to have a direct link to the Alexa page, ie. making the numbers a hyperlink to the specific traffic graphs page. This would allow for greater detail and better stat checking.
Finally an awesome little add-on is the existence of a “Domains RSS Feed”. Simply put, you can check on your domains through your web-based feedreader once activated, this gives you a little more room and makes the information come to you.
To conclude, DomainLogBook is an excellent site, and although small and simple, it provides all the services you need and is perfect for the active domainer. So go on – there’s already 581 users tracking 2800 odd domains! Get signed up and please give feedback to Mubs directly, or in the comments section here.
