I’ve long heard that Domain Authority (DA) is more important than ever.

Apparently, as of late, SEO experts Brian Dean and Glen Allsopp have both cosigned this statement (if you will).

If you’re not familiar with either Brian or Glen, then take a moment to read up at Backlinko.com and Detailed.com respectively.

But I digress.

In a recent article posted by Glen, “How 16 Companies are Dominating the World’s Google Search Results”, he reveals how the perceived and varying range in Google search results is controlled by a handful of large corporate conglomerates.

Glen poses a very good question for all to consider, especially should a brand survive from garnering traffic from the ol’ great Google:

“Are the Google rankings I aim to get for myself and my clients actually controlled by just three hands full of companies?”

While many can and might share the namesake, when the name Drew is mentioned in the domain industry, there’s only one!

An often persistent personality that’s scrappy at times and outspoken most, if not all, of the time. He’s often perceived as a critically shrewd domain professional, yet just as generous and charitable.

There are not many that have shaped and continue to shape the domain industry like Drew.

There is an art and science to buying and selling domains. More specifically, buying a domain name can be a frustrating and elusive process, to say the least.

Of course, this all depends on a number of factors — seller and buyer expectations, quality of domain, age of domain, domain profile (past/present/future), economic market, etc.

However, an affordable and efficient method for buying domains is enlisting assistance from a domain brokerage.

The domain industry has, is, and continues maturing in providing domain buyers and sellers frictionless marketplaces — BrandBucket.com, Efty.com, Dan.com, and DNWE.com to name a few.

Today’s podcast brand aims to not only add its brand to this list of innovative marketplaces but turn the private domain marketplace upside down with a paradigm shift of its own.

Optimal, profitable management is the key to almost any and everything thriving and growing with abundant life.

Such a statement is quite critical to the domain industry, specifically critical for domain investors with sprawling domain portfolios.

If only the rule of thumb were that profitability and a domain portfolio’s sprawl were in direct relationship with one another, then life would be a dream. But the reality is that not all domains and domain portfolios are equal.

With a myriad of strategies to assemble new or purchase existing domain portfolios, one of the most critical considerations to be made before one begins is a bonafide method to manage one’s way into sustained profitability.

Very few people realize consistent, profitable success when entering into the domain industry, specifically domain investing.

And even fewer persons can greatly capitalize and realize substantial rewards by developing services, tools, and platforms for domain investors to use.

The list is few in comparison to the number of domain investors that have come and gone their way, as well as the current domain investing ecosystem.

Remember when the new gTLDs — general top-level domains — came on the scene nearly a decade or so ago, and how they were going to be the nail in the coffin for legacy domain extensions — .com, .org, .net?

Well, that didn’t happen. However, what did happen was that quite a few people lost hundreds and thousands of dollars gambling that they would.

Extensions like .vip, .rentals, .forsale, .realestate, and the list go on as long as a hot summer day in the desert.

Now, this is not to say that profitable success hasn’t been realized along the way. It has but by very few people, both buying and selling new gTLDS.
