Q: Why should I register more than one domain name?

A: If you're thinking about registering more than one domain name, you've got the right idea. Registering and using multiple domains names is great for building your business and can help you create a dynamic online identity.

When you register multiple domain names, you can:

  • Keep your competition from registering a domain name that draws customers to them instead of you.
  • Promote the different products and services you offer.
  • Drive more traffic to your Web site.
  • Enjoy more opportunities to market to - and be listed in - search engines.
  • Create distinct advertising strategies that reach different target markets.
  • Provide customers more ways to find you when searching the Internet.
  • Capture common misspellings of your domain name, instead of sending visitors to an error page.
  • Protect your brand and online identity from those who may have unsavory purposes.

Q: What is masking and how do I set it up for my domain?

A: BEWARE! If you mask your domain you may not be able to login to your back offices either with YTB or Vacation Media. It seems to prevent the user to be able to login to any website. The only way to achieve this is to bookmark your back offices to your favorites. This way if you want to login to your back office you will need to use your regular url address to do this.

Example links shown below:

  • YTB Marketing Site http://www.ytb.com/Login.aspx?wa=
  • YTB Travel Site http://www.ytbtravel.com/Login.aspx?wa=
  • Vacation Media Site http://youraccount.vacationmedia.net/admin/login.php

Masking works with domain name forwarding, which redirects all Web traffic for a domain to a specified URL. When someone enters your domain name into a browser, our system automatically forwards or redirects them to the URL. However, with masking, the domain name displayed in the address bar does not change.

Forwarding with Masking prevents visitors from knowing that they have been redirected by retaining your domain name in their Web browser's address bar. You can also add a title and meta tags to your masked domain. Title and meta tag information is important to a Web site’s search engine ranking, but it does not change the look of your Web site.

To Add Masking to Your Domain Name Forwarding in the Domain Control Center

  1. Log in to your Account Manager.
  2. From the Domain Names menu, select Manage Domains. The Domain Control Center opens.
  3. In your list of domain names, select the checkbox next to the domain name(s) you want to forward.
  4. Click Forward.
  5. In the Domain Forwarding section, select Enable.
  6. In the Forward To field, enter the URL you want to forward your domain name(s) to.
  7. In the Redirect Type area, select one of the following:
    301
    Redirects to the site you specified in the Forward To field using a "301 Moved Permanently" HTTP response. The HTTP 301 response code tells user-agents (including search engines) that the location has permanently moved.
    302
    Redirects to the site you specified in the Forward To field using a "302 Found" HTTP response. The HTTP 302 response code tells user-agents (including search engines) that the location has temporarily moved.
  8. On the Masking tab, select Mask Domain.
  9. Enter a Masked Title and Meta Tags in the appropriate fields.
  10. Click OK.

Q: Why can't I add emails or edit any emails like I could before?

A: YTB's Legal Department insists that the only change you can make to any emails is the day it sends out. All emails are a direct representation of the YTB Network. Allowing people to create their own emails that contain false information could cause harm to YTB and the agent. If you have an email that you think would be a great addition to our email selection, you must email Ted Lindauer at ted@ytb.com for his approval.

Q: How can I improve E-mail Delivery?

A: Introduction to Whitelisting

It used to be that when you sent out an email, it was always delivered. Then along came spammers, and everything changed. Email companies (ISPs) were forced to come up with a solution to preventing their users from being bombarded with unwanted emails. Most of these ISPs have their own proprietary spam filtering services for their customers. Sometimes these services work well, but other times, they block emails that you WANT to read, simply because their blocking formulas are not perfect.

We have a great relationship with the ISPs because we are CANSPAM compliant and have a zero tolerance for spam. However, there are so many built in filters that it's a smart idea to whitelist our email address.

When you whitelist an email address, you are telling the Email company that you trust email coming from this source, and they know to deliver it to your inbox.

Whitelist Instructions

Below are instructions from several key ISPs on how to whitelist our email address with them.

You should whitelist our entire domain (vacationmedia.net) if possible. But if you need to do it on an email by email basis, make sure to include the following email addresses, in order to ensure that all the emails reach you.

  • noreply@vacationmedia.net
  • support@vacationmedia.net

 

Click your domain in the list below to view instructions for that domain.
