			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-35 alignleft" style="margin: 3px 5px;" title="momz logo" src="http://www.earthlingcommunications.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/momz-blue-logo-300x75.gif" alt="" width="280" height="70" />Back in 1998 I knew momz.com would be a great domain to build a brand around. The &#8220;z&#8221; allows &#8220;momz&#8221;  to be brandable whereas the proper spelling of &#8220;<a title="Moms vs. Momz" href="http://www.momz.com" target="_blank">moms</a>&#8221; is a generic word. Over the years some of the ideas for it have included; a shopping mall, a chain of stores for moms, a clothing line for moms, but I&#8217;ve always felt that it should become an online community for the modern day mom or as I like to say &#8220;a mom of the internet generation&#8221; and a vehicle for promoting mom sites and mom-owned business.</p>
<p>Back in late 2005 Web directories were hot and because I was able to build a Web directory using an inexpensive script I decided to build a <a title="Websites for Moms" href="http://www.momz.com/dir/" target="_blank">Directory Websites for moms</a> or <a title="Mom Sites" href="http://www.momz.com/dir/mom/" target="_blank">mom sites</a>. The directory has over 1,200 mom links and is growing, but much more slowly then planned. Eventually it became clear the directory wasn&#8217;t going to be &#8220;enough&#8221; for the strong domain name momz.com so it was moved to a sub-folder and the homepage became a &#8220;mom blog&#8221;.</p>
<p>Today momz.com is pulling more traffic organically through search engines each and every day. We will add an online store this Fall featuring products made by moms that can&#8217;t be bought in mega-stores. We know thousands of such moms with products that want to grow their businesses, but they struggle with generating enough demand. Momz.com will help pull prospective customers in to buy their heartmade products. We&#8217;re convinced people will enjoy being able to shop for a wide variety of very unique products made by people just like them as easily as shopping at amazon.com.</p>
<p>We also own momz.net and <a title="Moms Internet TV" href="http://www.momz.tv" target="_blank">momz.tv</a>. More on them in subsequent posts.</p>
