Last month I introduced readers to a WordPress plugin, Popular Posts, which is one of the best-kept secrets to boosting search rankings while lowering a website’s bounce rate.

In addition, I revealed the Popular Posts plugin was developed and designed to help website owners and operators gain clarity in regard to the most popular website content.

But it’s not the use of this plugin alone or the one to be introduced shortly that will boost search rankings and lower website bounce rates.

A few days ago, I discovered one of my domains while watching and listening to DomainSherpa’s interview with Rand Fishkin about understanding Domains through the filter of SEO and Marketing.

I was checking traffic sources for KickstartCommerce.com via Google Analytics (GA) and noticed an expired domain I purchased a few months ago was registering a large sum of redirect traffic to KickstartCommerce.com.

There’s not too many people would quit or forgo business school or college to immediately start a business.

But today’s guest, Marianna Felsman, did just that decades ago on her way to becoming partner and entrepreneur of BlueAir, a thriving Austin-based Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) services company.

A few weeks ago, I shared a story about a friend launching a new website and desiring a way to share a list of his WordPress posts on specific pages throughout his website.

I shared two methods to accomplish this feat using WordPress’ Display Posts Shortcode plugin.

Although a good plugin to use for displaying the latest WordPress posts on a given WordPress page, a few of you contacted me about displaying the WordPress posts by a given category.

Of course, displaying the WordPress posts by a given category using WordPress’ Display Posts Shortcode plugin is not a problem at all.

In fact, simply set category or category_id parameters within the display posts shortcode, and you’re all set.

[display-posts category=“fishing,hiking”]

[display-posts category_id=“123”]

However, it is a problem when using WordPress’ Display Posts Shortcode plugin causes a conflict with other plugins on your website.

So, what do you do when encountering a Plugin conflict attempting to list posts by a given category?

Yup, it’s the second Tuesday of the month and you know what time it is, right? That’s right! It’s time for Verisign’s Top Trending Keywords Report.

Moments ago, Verisign published to its blog May’s trending keywords registered for .com and .net domains.

A few years back, I pondered the impact of a newly birthed semantic search strategy pertaining to small businesses with a hyper-local customer base.

Of course, semantic search has transformed into much more since that time, expanding beyond local SEO.

Most website owners and operators often depend upon the great Google to drive both online and offline business in some way, shape, form, or fashion.

And since the birth of SEO, the golden question most folks desire to know in great depth is:

How do I increase my website content’s SEO effectiveness to boost search rankings and results?

When entering into the domain industry with great hopes, wishes, and dreams of striking it rich as a domain investor, most domain investors would ever imagine having to mortgage their house in order for their dream to be realized.

Well, that very thought as well as few others was considered by Drew Wash — a long-time domain investor, and entrepreneur of MovingSites.com, a host of website communities designed to bring experts together.
