About a decade ago, before Twitter and Facebook were the behemoths they are today, I launched, owned, and operated an emergency and disaster communications website aiming to help displaced folks reconnect to their friends and family during natural or man-made disasters.

Back in those days, I was a one-man shop doing everything from graphic design, web design, coding and programming, database management, SEO, sale and marketing, and everything else under the sun.

One of the many things I learned and perfected was the art of writing customer-centric content that engaged, educated, and entertained the customer while also commanding search ranking results with the help of syndicated content.

Welcome back! It’s been a bit since I last graced you with an interview about a personal or company brand using a unique domain name to promote their digital presence.

Today’s interview is that and more! Not only does this founder use a new domain extension to promote an educational book and website geared towards basic computer science, software quality and programming in general, but he’s branded an emoji name to boot.

Grab a beverage and snack, and read about why and how an energetic, 30 year-old programmer and former researcher launched a coding website using .energy and emoji domain names. 

You’re likely reading this article because your web traffic has plateaued or has yet to rank for highly competitive keywords organically.

Most everyone (okay, not everyone) knows the name of the game for bloggers or website owners is how much organic search traffic a website realizes.

If you’ve ever attempted to launch a website of any sort, then you’ve likely encountered difficulties and challenges in getting your website to rank across major search engines.

I’m here today to change your unsatisfactory experience into one of satisfaction and hopefully equip you to realize greater search exposure and traffic conversions for your website.

A week or so ago, I introduced you to the Facebook Graph API using PHP.

Although the Facebook Graph API can retrieve a trove of wide-ranging data, I specifically showed you how to retrieve the total count for a unique URL’s likes, shares, and comments.

Today, I’m going to show you the same, but this time using JavaScript and jQuery, a cross-platform JavaScript library designed to simplify the client-side scripting of HTML.

A few weeks ago, one of my many websites crossed the thousand-like club for Facebook likes.

It was a time to celebrate!  Why?

Well, this particular website is a local and somewhat a hyper micro-niche. Honestly, I’m surprised and elated that this website has 1000+ likes.

Nevertheless, crossing the 1000+ Facebook-like club renders the like button differently.

Instead of being able to see now that there are 1,024 likes, the Facebook like button for this specific website now only shows “1K”.

And because I don’t have a Facebook Fan, Business, or Profile page associated with this website, this adds yet another degree of difficulty in attempting to understand exactly how many likes, shares, and comments exist for a website URL, also known as a website domain name.

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.

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?
