TrafficZ and General Manager Jonathan Boswell Part Ways, Boswell Turns Attention to His Own Domain Monetization Company

Earlier this week I got a note from  Jonathan Boswell (one of the original team members at TrafficZ when the Los Angeles based parking company began its rapid ascent in the PPC category) letting me know that he and the company parted ways at the end of last week. 

Boswell was also a co-founder of LeaseThis.com and sold his interest in that company to TrafficZ's parent corporation, Thought Convergence Inc., (TCI) last year. Boswell said a disagreement with TCI founders Kevin Vo and Ammar Kubba over the direction of that service and how to best grow revenue led to a change being made. However, he added that he, Vo and Kubba have always had a good relationship that will continue.

Boswell said he has now turned his full attention to an early stage venture capital company, Boswell Investments, Inc., that he had started a couple of years ago. I gave Boswell a call this afternoon to find out more about what he is doing with Boswell Investments. He said the company focuses on building vertical portals on strong keyword domains that utilize multiple monetization methods that can include PPC, affiliate ads and direct advertiser relationships. He cited a TCI project, Trainer.com, as an example of the kind of approach he plans to take.

To drive visitors to the portal, Boswell sends traffic from other domains within the same vertical to the domain that serves as the central brand. Most of his efforts have centered on domains 

that he already owns but the company has started doing partnerships with other domain owners. Rather than ask for an equity position in the domains he develops

Boswell said he works for a share of the revenue he creates on those joint projects. Those who want to learn more can visit the company's website or contact email him at jonathan at boswellinvestments.com.
