			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Dalai Lama says that &#8220;Generosity creates wealth&#8221;. I believe that. And here&#8217;s an idea that you can apply to prove it to yourself. Give generously to a charity that you believe in. Then place a seal or sticker stating that you support that charity on your website. For example, you can see from <a href="http://www.14ushop.com">this company&#8217;s website</a> that they support <a href="http://www.heifer.org/">Heifer International</a>. Measure your online sales, inquiries, and conversion rate before and after placing the seal on your website. I bet they go up!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of people own multiple domain names and never end up using them all. Or their plans change and they no longer want their domain. Eventually you might let your domains expire. When that happens, domainers or MFA (Made For AdSense) site operators snap up the domains and stick porn or spam on those URLs, capitalizing on the type-in traffic and pre-existing inlinks. </p>
<p>Instead of just holding on to that domain that you don&#8217;t intend to use or let it expire and fall into the hands of a filthy spammer, consider donating that domain to a worthy cause. But how might that work?</p>
<p>You could find a charity that fits with the topic of your domain name and offer it it to them. What I would like to see is an organization that accepted unwanted domain names and resold them, giving the full proceeds to charity. A domain &#8220;dog pound&#8221; of sorts. That way, even if the domain name is of no interest to any charities, the charity of your choice could still profit from that domain name by getting the proceeds from the sale of it.</p>
<p>So a charitable domain name aftermarket is what I am thinking. What do you think?</p>
