Will .com remain king with the release of new gtlds?

September 10, 2013 5 Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

While enjoying a weekend to myself and flipping through channels in search of Sunday NFL Football, I was caught off guard by a 1and1.com commercial for pre-registering the upcoming release of new general top level domains (gtld).

This commercial caught me off guard because I wondered how many thousands or millions of viewers watching Sunday NFL Football actually saw the commercial and knew what it meant.

For those of you that are in the dark on new gtlds, they are essentially new suffixes for domain names. Most of the general Internet population is familiar with the most popular gltd, .com, just due to most websites end in .com.

However, there are roughly 20 or more existing gtlds that most people have seen over the last few years. These gltds, .org, .net, .me, .co, .info, .biz, .tv to name a few, are commonly used when the .com gtld for a specific domain is unable to be used or already registered by someone.

Part II: Page one search engine ranking and the rest.

Welcome back to second post of Page one search engine ranking and the rest.

In our initial post of this series, we discussed the importance of taking your time to select your niche, keywords, register or acquiring keyword-specific domain names, and creating unique and value-add content.

All are equally important, but I’ve found it most important to have selected the correct niche and keywords long before a domain name and content ever came into consideration.

In today’s post, I’ll continue discussing the wide variety of SEO actions I’ve taken that have led to successfully ranking websites in the top spot across major search engines, and led to increase traffic, conversions, and revenue.

In addition, I’ll share a few tips and tricks for what not to do too.

Let’s continue our search engine ranking discussion.

Have you ever wondered about search engine ranking positions?

Is there a difference in page one search engine ranking positions and the traffic generated to highly ranked websites?

I mean, you hear and read all the time about people proclaiming the number one, two, and three search ranking positions driving exponential website traffic, conversions and revenue.

This is not to say that most or all of the individuals claiming page one search engine rankings are lying.

I think everyone has their story and results, but I would like to add the twist of search ranking niches.

In today’s post, through my own experience, I’ll openly share with you about a few websites I own and operate.

We’ll cover in great detail keywords, domain names, content, social media, search engine optimization (SEO) and analytics.

I’ll take you throughout a quick timeline from domain registration to page one rankings.

I’ll shed light on theories, mistakes, corrections and overall successes and failures.

Premium .com Domain Names: Rent, Lease, or Buy?

July 11, 2013 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

There has been much talk about domain leasing services throughout much of this year as the world wide web anticipates the release of 1,900 or so new generic top-level domains (gTLDs).

In today’s post, I hope to shed a little light on the premium .com domain names and the various options you can take now in terms of renting, leasing, or buying.

No one knows the future of .com or gTLDs.

In my humble opinion, I think it is safe to say that .com will be around for years to come.

Rather than waiting on the new gTLD’s to be released, you’re better off taking action now to rent, lease, or buy a premium .com domain name for your business when given the option to.

Domain type-in traffic could generate more customers and sales for your business.

Maybe you’ve heard or not heard of the mysterious power of domain type-in traffic.

Many claims have been made for and again domain type-in traffic.

Whether you have or have not, the beauty of domain type-in traffic is that domain type-in traffic is free.

Yes, free unlike any other search engine optimization and internet marketing.

And it goes without saying, SEO should not be neglected completely as SEO can act as a great mate to type-In traffic.

So briefly, domain type-in traffic is one of the most inexpensive search marketing options available for website owners seeking to increase website traffic, seeing you have the right resources and expertise to make it happen for your business.

The biggest questions I find myself faced with when considering buying expired domain names or hand registering domain names are are the domain names generic enough in nature to generate any type-in traffic or profitable traffic in general, and are type-in traffic domains worth owning?

And being totally transparent, I wish I could give you a straightforward answer of yes or no for those questions.

However, owning domains with type-in traffic that consistently generate increase web traffic, conversions and sales can be a hit or miss opportunity based upon the domain’s industry and keywords that make up the domain.

If you consider a new trend as generic or exact match domain names that might not produce traffic as much as traditional generic or exact match domain names produce.

That said, today’s post will try to help shed a little light on the pros and cons of using type-in traffic domains.

I set on my on quest to try and answer the type-in traffic domain question of whether or not type-in domains are worth owning or even considering as a method to increasing web traffic.

The wave of the future: domain names for lease.
Written by: Alvin Brown

The price of .com domains has skyrocketed, as have the number of domain leasing opportunities.

Much like physical real estate, domain names, especially .com domains, have become quite expensive and will likely increase exponentially in years to come.

From small start-ups to mom-and-pop shops to national chains to global conglomerates, the one commonality all can agree on is the need for a premium domain name to generate greater customer growth and revenue for their business.

With more and more businesses being started by entrepreneurs or those involuntarily forced to, the need for a short, memorable, and search-friendly .com domain name is in great demand. At the same time, those mentioned attributes of a .com domain name are in short supply.7 tips for profitable domain leasing.

Many short, memorable, and search-friendly .com domain names are accounted for and have been for quite some time.
