Today I’m back with another tutorial you’ll likely find beneficial when it comes to beautifying media downloads and giving users an intuitive media experience.

As everyone knows, the Internet is made up of endless links, with billions added daily from millions of websites worldwide.

From text links to file links to podcasts to videos and more, we’ve all become quite accustomed to using links as a thankless method of finding our way around the web.

Although text links are very commonly used on almost every website at some point, they’re often times not aesthetically pleasing.

And sometimes, links are overlooked because our eyes have become acclimated to tuning them out amongst a growing see of pay-per-click ads.

Nevertheless, seeing nearly 28% of internet websites run on WordPress, I would like to share with you two ways to spice up media links to increase interactive engagement and sales conversions.

When new to domaining, there is often a tendency to bid and buy expired domain names emotionally.

If you are familiar with expired domain auctions, specifically the GoDaddy aftermarket platform, then it’s likely you’ve been tempted to purchase closeout or buy-it-now domains for cheap.

You peruse the list and spot a desirable expired domain name that looks too good to be true.

You question yourself. How did this domain slip through the cracks and off the radar of daily domain bidders in an expired auction without a single bid?

The stars must have aligned for this expired domain and I to be united sings the voices in your head.

You buy the expired domain name thinking of the massive returns you’ll soon realize by developing or flipping.

Truth be told, we all have likely been down the path only to drop and not renew those domain gems we thought to have made us a fortune.

Don’t lose hope, though. Today, I’m sharing some insight to help you spot trending expiring domains that are undervalued.

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

If you’ve been keeping track, then you know we’ve created auto-post tutorials for Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google+ using a variety of plugins and different paid and non-paid services.

I’m assuming that you guessed by the title of today’s post that we’d tackle how to publish WordPress blog posts to Instagram.

Instagram is a different social network beast than Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social networks.  And here’s why I think so…

Don’t you despise those long, ugly, and gnarly WordPress Media Library links?

You know the ones I’m talking about, right?

The ones that look something like this:

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:

You don’t want to lose invaluable SEO authority. You’ve slaved so many days writing and sharing content to be crowned by Google with page one search rankings, right?

So, you’ve got a business to run and customers to serve every waking hour of the business day.

Include a personal life, the occasional potty break, eating and sleeping, and there’s not room left for much more, right?

But like the competition, you want to increase your website’s visibility in search ranking in hopes of reaching more customers and closing more sales, right?

But how?  After all, you manage to establish a decent content marketing strategy, and are off to the races consistently writing and publishing content.

Then a few months into your content marketing excursion, or maybe you’re in the planning stage if you move a bit slower, you realize that content marketing is as much a full-time assignment as serving your customers.

You write and schedule post after post with keyword after keyword focus only to see minimal traffic and search ranking increase.

You have the first part of the equation down, which is writing, scheduling, and publishing content that’s engaging to your reader audience (potential customers).

Although search engines are finding and indexing your content to share with the world of readers and potential customers in need of your business offering, what are you doing to share your content outside the walls of your website?

And so the question goes…

Is redirecting expired domains really worth my time and money?

Okay, so you’ve successfully completed your expired domains homework, checking off the following boxes:

• Found niched expiring domains in an auction ending soon.
• Performed monthly search and CPC check of domains.
• Ensured Google did not ban expired domains.
• Researched expired domains using the WayBack Machine.
• Identified active backlink profiles using Ahrefs, SEMRush, Google, Majestic, or ExpiredDomains.net.

Now that your thorough research is complete, bids placed, expired domain auctions won, and successfully transferred to your account, I’m certain you’re wondering what to do next, right?

Can you really boost traffic and search rankings using, more specifically, redirecting expired domains?

What if I told you that you could increase your web traffic by double redirecting expired domains?

Before I answer that question with a YES, hopefully, you thought about how you could use expired domains long before you got starry-eyed and in love with your precious newfound gems of domains.

You have given much thought and consideration and drafted a plan before bidding on expired domains in the auction, right?
