Today’s post is going to be a video tutorial well worth your time to review and execute upon completing the video.

Have you ever posted content that seems to take days or weeks to be indexed in search engines, specifically Google?

The Essentials of Domain Leasing for Small Business

January 22, 2015 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

As you know or may not know, Kickstart Commerce offers affordable domain leasing for our growing portfolio of domain names.

Typically, when I receive inquiries about some of my most popular domain names and met with stick shock from uneducated domain buyers, I always offer a payment plan to buy the domain, or a leasing payment to use the domain for a set period of time should I not want to sell.

I’m not always successful with the latter option as most domain buyers who are not able to afford my portfolio of premium .com domains tend to move and settle for a lesser priced domain.

But much like physical real estate, I’ll continue to hold my oceanfront property for the right buyer to come along and see the value in paying my asking price.

Nevertheless, today’s post will help those of you looking to purchase by way of leasing that one game-changing domain name that will morph your business into an online powerhouse brand.

108 Actions To Increase Website Traffic and Search Rankings

December 30, 2014 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

How can I increase my website’s traffic and search rankings?

This is the most common question I hear from potential and existing customers looking to gain an edge in search rankings and generate more qualified traffic.

And of course, no matter how I try, there is never enough time to sum up all of the SEO actions one can take to increase website traffic and search rankings.

For those who use WordPress, I simply recommend a few general settings changes and the installation of Yoast or All-In-One Webmaster plugins for starters.

Then there are those who have a static website I recommend content marketing via blogs and articles.

And let us not be quick to forget or diminish the value of social media networks.

Out of all the thoughts previously mentioned, we are barely scratching the surface in addressing the 200+ search ranking factors.

In addition to fielding potential and existing customer SEO questions, I’ve personally had a chance to document the process for creating, developing, and sustaining a few niche websites I’ve started in recent weeks.

I tried my very best to document the 108 actions I’ve used and followed, per my SEO guideline.

Using this exhaustive list of proven SEO actions, every small business owner (that’s you!) can execute these actions on an ongoing basis to increase website traffic and search rankings in hopes of capturing qualified customers.

So if you’re ready, let’s get started!

Why Gating Content With Social Media is Near an End.

December 22, 2014 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

gating content with social mediaThe name of the SEO and search rankings game is content. Sound content marketing is getting harder and more challenging to come by as time progresses, and search engines tip the scale of artificial intelligence in their favor.

Paying for viewing content is nothing new under the sun. Just look around at the various life parallels.

We pay ticket premiums and admissions to view concerts, games, movies, fights, news, solutions, answers, and more.

So it’s not a surprise that gating content made its way and has survived for quite some time on the Internet.

Most of us are familiar with gated content when it comes to downloading free content such as ebooks, sample book chapters, and whitepapers.
