At this precise moment in time, it’s the question of the hour as flurries of answers circulate the emoji domain circuit.

Before diving into answers, let’s settle on agreeing that .ws (and other extensions) IS NOT and will never be .com. There I said it, happy?

No matter how many single, double, triple, or any other concatenated combo to be imagined, emoji domains are not going to top 20+ years of .com history overnight, if ever.

It’s the truth. It really is the truth, literally and figuratively speaking.

I know I’m not making many friends with such a blunt intro, but we ALL must truly be objective as we consider how valuable emoji domains are in comparison to the domain industry in it’s entirety.

We can’t simply go about making up or pulling down numbers out of thin air because we’ve fallen in lust love with the hottest thing to hit domains in a while.

It’s been a minute since I tackled automating blog posts to social networks.

I don’t know about you, but I long to make the “wp-content/uploads/2017/04/21/“ section of WordPress Media Library links vanish like visiting the Bermuda Triangle. But how?

If you operate a website long enough, then you’re likely to encounter a situation or circumstance that requires a redirect at some.

What are redirects, you ask?

Simply put, redirects are primarily used to preserve the SEO authority of a website page or an entire website.

And here’s why redirects are important:

With so much talk about organic and social web traffic strategies to increase your website’s rankings and sales conversions, one can be left dismayed at where to begin.

A while back, I wrote an article about why and how most businesses often effectively use gated content strategies.

There are a number of pros and cons to using gated content. It’s a short and quick read that I encourage you to read.

Nevertheless, you’ll likely question the next steps you’ll need to take to plan and execute your website’s gated content strategy successfully.

And today, I’m sharing with you a simple WordPress plugin that makes gating your valuable content as easy as flipping a light switch on and off.
