Is your domain name a flawed diamond or a perfect brick?

March 2, 2016 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

Most brick and mortar businesses often do not make it to their 3rd birthday. Why?

Well, there are many reasons as to why businesses, specifically small businesses, fail and never make it past 3 years in business.

perfect-bricksSometimes it’s not having a market.

Sometimes it’s mismanagement.

Sometimes it’s customer service.

Sometimes it’s lack of foot traffic or a bad location.

Sometimes it’s the product or service being offering. And the list goes one.

All of the aforementioned options have a price tag deemed as the cost of doing business.

But did you know that a single asset could reduce, if not eliminate, the total cost of ownership of the aforementioned options?

This single asset I speak of can give you more options that those I listed. Yes, more options from ONE asset alone.

Okay, so it’s no secret that domain names are critical to business today and have been for the last 20 and counting years. When precisely selected, a domain name can reduce the marketing spend and sometimes eliminate it altogether.

How do I know, you ask?

Google Domains, Search, SEO and Your Business

July 4, 2014 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

If you haven’t heard or read somewhere across the Internet in recent weeks, Google is stepping into the domain space as a registrar, and full force too!

Personally, I’m not sure what this all means for the Internet in general other than saying that Google has now put 1And1.com, GoDaddy, Register.com, Web.com, Network Solutions and the likes clearly in the crosshairs of their radar.

In addition to forcing their way into domains, Google has also partnered with service providers to offer unique drag-and-drop, no coding required, website creation platform via Wix, Weebly and Shopify.

These partnerships are huge because now customers are able to streamline finding and buying a domain, and easily developing and hosting their website with best-in-class intuitive tools.

For GoDaddy, this has to be the worst timing due to their recent IPO announcement. Not only that, but Google once was a domain partner that referred their customers to GoDaddy and Enom for domain purchases. Well, no more!

The more and more I think about Google Domains, which is currently in an invite-only beta mode, and it’s impact on domain names and search in general, things could very well be changing for domain and search industries, and in big ways.

So, what does this all mean?

Can guest posts and blogs increase or rehab a website’s SEO effort and search rankings?

January 20, 2014 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

Let me start by saying that as much guest posting and blogging craze that there is all over the web, I’m not real big on guest posts and blogs, period.

I’ll tell you why, but first a customer story.

If only I could rank #1 on page one of Google…

This long time customer once had stellar SEO rankings for multiple money keywords and long tail keywords in their industry.

For years, they owned search rankings with well-optimized pages and website in general.

In fact, this customer ranked so well across search engines that they didn’t have to participate in pay-per-click advertising although it would have been a benefit.

That all came to end after experiencing two failed SEO efforts and relationships with other companies.

In truth, all this customer wanted was establish their web presence as the number one spot in search rankings.

But is this not what we all want for our websites?
