Written by: Alvin Brown

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Many domain investors unknowingly commit to this is very deadly and costly approach to domain investing.

Whether hand registering domains, or buying domains via forums or auction platforms, this “spray and pray” approach to domain investing costs to the tune of thousands.

Written by: Alvin Brown

Podcasting has been around for quite some time, nearly 15 or more years and counting. In 2004, the term “podcasting was coined by newspaper journalist Ben Hammersly as he wrote about the potential for boom in amateur radio.

Due to cheap MP3 players, blogging, and audio software, online radio became a thing. A year or so later, Apple releases iTunes in 2005 and hits 1 billion subscribers in 2013.

One of the most recent milestones of 2020 in podcasting is the Spotify and Joe Rogan $100 million licensing deal for his podcast and podcast content.

Practically Assessing the Value of SEO and ccTLD Domains with Kalin Karakehayov
Written by: Alvin Brown

There are nearly 4.75 billion people connected via the Internet worldwide. That’s nearly 60 percent of the world’s population.

Once limited to the physical location where we reside, the Internet has vastly opened the door for everyone to connect with one another around the globe with a few simple keystrokes.

The Internet, especially search engines, has forever changed the way we live and do business. In fact, most of us now Google, Bing, or Baidu our way through daily living. But have you heard of The Bulgarian Search Engine?

Trust me, this population of people is very small. Special people, they are indeed, to extract the extraordinary from the mundane or ordinary occurrences in life.

Tutorial: How to Track Domain Type-In Traffic

How to Track Domain Type-In Traffic
Written by: Alvin Brown

One of the most elusive topics surrounding domain investing is type-in traffic. There are many schools of thought on this topic.

In short, I define and qualify domain type-in traffic as visitors typing a domain name into a web browser and landing a single web page (not fully developed website) — completely bypassing search engines altogether.

Now many are quick to blur the lines between domain parking and domain type-in traffic. They are two different things, yet one relies on the other.

In this case, domain parking can rely on domain type-in traffic, but not exclusively. A domain can be parked and display ad links that visitors click on to generate domain parking revenue.

On the other hand, domain type-in traffic is simply the number of times visitors type in the domain into a web browser with no search engine help included.

Domain type-in traffic doesn’t automatically result in revenue although it can if the destination offers products, services, or a call to action that is in alignment with the visitor’s expectation.

It doesn’t take long after entering into domain investing to hear about the heyday of early investors buying keyword domains for the avalanche of type-in traffic.

Most domain investors, especially those early in their journey, are fast on the hunt to discover undeveloped domain gems with thousands of visits daily.

Do domains with exponential type-in traffic like the days of old actually exist today?

And if they do exist, how and where does one go about discovering, measuring, and procuring such domains?

Exploring and De-risking ccTLD investing with Morgan Linton and Nikul Sanghvi

Exploring and De-risking ccTLD investing with Morgan Linton and Nikul Sanghvi
Written by: Alvin Brown

The first digital land rush — .com, .net, and .org to name a few — happened a couple of decades ago, and minted quite a few millionaires along the way.

Not quite a decade ago, the second digital land rush — new TLDs — had high hopes minting even more millionaires. Actually, the inverse has happened.  More folks lost their money than actually made a dime worth talking about.

But between these two milestone events, an entire domain market segment and economy is thriving, getting bigger as the days, months, and years pass: country code top-level domains (ccTLDs).
