Seeing that I have more than a decade of hands-on experience with search marketing and helping lead turnaround efforts to reposition personal and company brand websites, I would like to share a simple tip often overlooked that is likely to increase reader engagement — to say the least.

This simple yet often overlooked tip has nothing to do with how you write content (believe it or not). It involves setting the reader’s expectation for whether or not they choose to click to read and consume your content.

What is this simple tip you dying to know more about? This tip is so simple that you’ll kick yourself for not adding it many moons ago.

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 April’s trending keywords registered for .com and .net domains.

A little over five years ago, I accidentally stumbled upon something that forever altered my domain development experience: geo service domains.

Sometimes categorized as exact-match or partial-match domains, I encountered a geo service domain via GoDaddy’s expired domain buy-it-now/closeout auctions for a suburb of the greater Austin, Texas metro.

Although Google had issued an exact match domain update that devalued and slightly lessen exact match domains’ ranking, I decided to take a chance on developing my newly discovered geo service domain.

Little did I realize my development and SEO prowess would produce a page one ranking geo service domain website.

Years later, and many new and existing domain investors still question whether or not geo service domains are worth investing in.  That’s the question will attempt to answer in today’s podcast.

Welcome back! I’m at it again bringing you another domains interview.

If you’ve enjoyed previous domains interviews thus far, then you’ll certainly enjoy today’s interview with the owner of the fire emoji (🔥), Preben Aune.

Have you ever wondered how to track online ad or link traffic from external websites to your website using Google Analytics?

Tracking online traffic, web traffic in general, is often a topic causing many persons to glaze over, literally and figuratively.

Truth is tracking web traffic is quite simple. In fact, you encounter trackable links daily as you use the web to perform a variety of tasks, yet you may not have realized it upon first glance.

Nevertheless, there’s no excuse today for website owners and operators to be in the dark on the origin of website traffic.

There are a growing number of non-paid and paid web analytics services available, varying in level of complexity, to help uncover where from and who is sending traffic to your website.

And although I won’t cover all the the tools, there is a FREE and easy-to-use tool that allows you to track web traffic to your website.

About a decade ago, before Twitter and Facebook were the behemoths they are today, I launched, owned, and operated an emergency and disaster communications website aiming to help displaced folks reconnect to their friends and family during natural or man-made disasters.

Back in those days, I was a one-man shop doing everything from graphic design, web design, coding and programming, database management, SEO, sale and marketing, and everything else under the sun.

One of the many things I learned and perfected was the art of writing customer-centric content that engaged, educated, and entertained the customer while also commanding search ranking results with the help of syndicated content.

You’re likely reading this article because your web traffic has plateaued or has yet to rank for highly competitive keywords organically.

Most everyone (okay, not everyone) knows the name of the game for bloggers or website owners is how much organic search traffic a website realizes.

If you’ve ever attempted to launch a website of any sort, then you’ve likely encountered difficulties and challenges in getting your website to rank across major search engines.

I’m here today to change your unsatisfactory experience into one of satisfaction and hopefully equip you to realize greater search exposure and traffic conversions for your website.
