When new to domaining, there is often a tendency to bid and buy expired domain names emotionally.

If you are familiar with expired domain auctions, specifically the GoDaddy aftermarket platform, then it’s likely you’ve been tempted to purchase closeout or buy-it-now domains for cheap.

You peruse the list and spot a desirable expired domain name that looks too good to be true.

You question yourself. How did this domain slip through the cracks and off the radar of daily domain bidders in an expired auction without a single bid?

The stars must have aligned for this expired domain and I to be united sings the voices in your head.

You buy the expired domain name thinking of the massive returns you’ll soon realize by developing or flipping.

Truth be told, we all have likely been down the path only to drop and not renew those domain gems we thought to have made us a fortune.

Don’t lose hope, though. Today, I’m sharing some insight to help you spot trending expiring domains that are undervalued.

It’s been won weak sense Google announced that its exact match keywords will know longer match when displaying adds.

Hmm, something reads a bit funny about that sentence, right?

Let’s try this won more time.

It’s been one week cents Google’s big announcement about exact match keywords no longer matching when displaying ads.

We’re getting closer four sure, right?

This is likely everyone’s clumsy first experience in an attempt to wrangle traffic from Google via pay-per-click (PPC) ads.

Often times, we carelessly spend money on PPC ads due to not understanding the effective use of keyword match types and negative keywords.

If you’re like me, then it’s likely you’re checking both Google Analytics and Google Search Console daily for a variety of analytics pertaining to your website.

It’s nothing new that Google no longer provides organic keyword data about what keyword or keyword phrases a search uses to find your website via search rankings.

I get that Google is attempting to honor its privacy agreement with searchers, but not having data from organic keyword searches is really keeping many of us in the dark.

Over the weekend, I had an opportunity to catch up on a few articles pertaining to SEO.

One of the articles isn’t an article as much as a tutorial video. I’m not certain it’s a tutorial video either, as much as it is a knowledge share.

Nevertheless, the knowledge share is by Rand Fishkin. If you’re unfamiliar with Rand, his background, and his expertise as owner and founder of Moz.com, then you’re missing out on value-add content applicable to growing your business.

In this edition of Whiteboard Friday, Rand talks about one of the most imperative a decision a business makes about its digital presence: selecting a domain name.

Whether good, bad, or plain Jane ugly results, you’ll live with the consequences of the selected domain name for your business.

Grab a drink and a snack. You have quite a bit of reading to do today… 😀

If you’ve been around this blog long enough, then you know that I have an affinity with geo-related and geo-service domains.

Most people within the domain industry tend to qualify geo service domains as exact match domains.

Personally, I too often define geo service domains not to be only exact matches but also partial match domains.

I want to share another alternative web hosting provider I use sparingly when flipping and developing geo-service domains.

If you’re a regular reader or visitor, then I bet you’re wondering why I’m mentioning Bluehost.

After all, you’re likely wondering how Bluehost fits into my geo service domain puzzle when you know I use and highly recommend both GoDaddy and HostGator as primary and second web host providers, respectively.

For me, when it comes to web hosting, HostGator always tends to lurk somewhere in the top 5 or 10 web hosting providers recommended because of its performance.

And when I’m in need of a secondary web host to GoDaddy, my primary web hosting, HostGator’s flexibility, ease of use, and reliable performance meet my need for hosting geo domaining websites.

Again, I’m not transacting to the volume of an Amazon or Facebook, so I don’t need the complex technologies or service level agreements they use for simply flipping and developing geo service domain websites.

In fact, most of my geo domaining websites tend to be very simple and nominal in terms of their content, functionality, and dependence upon reliable performance and uptime.
