Domain Names

The Domain Names task is where you enter your project domains. For simple projects, this could just be the Web site domain name. When using the Standard edition, you'll want to enter the Web site domain name and possibly any virtual domains. In the Professional edition you can also enter competitor, affiliate, partner, or other domains that make sense for reporting purposes.


Import

The Import button allows you to import domain names into your project from a file. If the file contains full URLs, those will be converted into domain names and any duplicates will be removed.

You can also import by...

  • Paste domain names from the clipboard.
  • Drag a file containing domain names onto the Categories or Domain Names list.

Quick Report

The Quick Report button allows you to print lists of your categories and domain names.

You can print...

  • A list of domain names grouped by category.
  • A list of domain names only.
  • Or, a list of category names only.

Categories List

The Categories list displays the standard and user defined domain name categories in your project. Although you can create user categories in the Standard edition, they can't be used on reports. They are only available for reporting in the Professional edition.

You can create new categories by...

  • Selecting domain names and right-clicking.
  • Selecting domain names and dragging them to the categories list.
  • Right-click the categories list and Add or Duplicate a current category.
  • Click the Plus button in the bottom left corner.

Domain Names List

The Domain Names list displays, and allows the editing of, domain names in your project. It also allows you to sort the domain names, or randomize them, using the column headers. Each category can have it's own sort order. In the Professional edition you can choose to have your keywords displayed in your chosen order on the reports.

You can create new domain names by...

  • Clicking the Plus button in the bottom left corner.
  • Right-clicking and selecting Add Domain from the context menu.

Visit Domain

The Visit Domain button is used to launch your Web browser to the selected domain name's Web site.
