November 2, 2017 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

From buildings to phones to emails to tv shows to movies to domain names, emoji have taken over almost every area of life known to man.

Barry Schwartz’s latest article sounds like pay-per-click advertising is the next target ripe for emoji marketing spending.

One Tool Away From Boosting Search Rankings.

October 11, 2017 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

A few months ago, I helped to launch a website for a customer. This particular customer’s old website consisted of 4 different WordPress installations.

Yes, you read the last sentence correctly: 4 different WordPress websites.

At the time this customer contacted me inquiring about search marketing services, they had no clue that their website and 3 blogs were operating 4 different WordPress installs in a shared hosting environment.

None of the WordPress installs were updated. And to add insult to injury, there were plugins that hadn’t been updated, as well as plugins installed and not being used.

Talk about slow as molasses?

Emoji Domain Marketing for Local and Hyper-Local Businesses

July 24, 2017 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

Amidst big brands such as Amazon, Walmart, and the list goes on, small businesses account for quite a bit of market share.

Google estimates that there are approximately 115 million small businesses in the world while the United States of Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy estimates that there are 28.8 million businesses in the US alone.

Of course, there’s much discussion to be had pertaining to what specific attributes must be realized to qualify as a small business. But I’m not writing to debate those finer points.

With both numbers on the rise annually, one has to wonder how small businesses are able to affordably differentiate themselves, especially when considering small businesses with a strict local or hyper-local presence.

How many oil change, dog grooming, nail salon and other local-centric business services do you pass daily going to and fro?

If you’re like me, then you’re likely surrounded by a growing number of small businesses, varying in name, peddling similar services in hopes that a potential customer remembers their business when the need arises.

Hoping that customers remember your business in a sea of competitive small businesses offerings is not a sound plan for existing or growing local market share.

But here’s something to ponder. Would you be interested in uniquely differentiating your business from the competition using an emoji domain?

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?

Preserve and pass SEO authority with simple WordPress redirects.

May 5, 2017 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

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?

📺 Emojis strike with movie and game show. Are domains next?

May 2, 2017 1 Comment
Written by: Alvin Brown

It has been said that a “picture is worth a thousands words”.

You don’t have to look to far these days to guarantee that statement.

And from the looks of it, it appears that we as a society are moving more and more towards pictures telling the stories of our lives.

Or maybe we’re coming full circle with the use of modernized pictures from our primitive years.

Nevertheless, we’re not talking about just any ole’ pictures.  We’re talking about EMOJIS! Emojis can do now wrong and are on at this very moment, being used by all walks of life.

They’re the 💣, and have hit the 🎰  for sure this year!

Don’t believe me?  Just ask Forbes…
