The first time I met George Verdugo — a long-time domain investor and developer, and entrepreneur of dotMediaBrands.com, he was sharing an interesting story at MERGE! about how his course of action regarding the development of multilingual domains, specifically Spanish Domains.

One of the biggest challenges for most website owners is developing and sustaining a content marketing strategy that is consistent and relevant.

Often times delivering website content becomes the goal rather than delivering relevant content that is engaging.

Most website content is often outdated no sooner than it goes live. However, more and more websites have committed to creating and sustaining the efforts to keep content evergreen.

One of the ways evergreen content is achieved is by displaying updated or last modified timestamps for each piece of content — see CNN image below.

About a month or so ago, it was brought to my attention by Page Howe that a conference dedicated to “all things emoji” would occur in New York just days before World Emoji Day.

A bit more sleuthing, and I uncovered what looks to be a 2-year-old conference certainly flying stealth under the radar.

A very common theme in the domain industry is venturing into the abyss of domain development. Domain investors often times are lead to consider domain development for a number of reasons.

Domain investors often conclude how lucrative the opportunity of domain development can be to increase the domain’s overall value as well as the opportunity for residual income by way of a full-fledge online business.

From personal experience, domain development is very much as deceiving as attempting to understand truly how big an iceberg is at surface level.

As many of us throughout the world close the books on the first half of the year and start the second half of the year with a clean slate, I discovered Register.To is kicking off the second half of the year with a promotion to be happy about.

Last week I was reminded that one of my many websites was not secure when visiting it from phone.

Fortunately, this website is used for personal development purposes and not a customer-facing website.

Nevertheless, it was alarming to see the url or address bar of the web browser display in bright red lettering: Website Not Secure.

A few days ago, I discovered one of my domains while watching and listening to DomainSherpa’s interview with Rand Fishkin about understanding Domains through the filter of SEO and Marketing.

I was checking traffic sources for KickstartCommerce.com via Google Analytics (GA) and noticed an expired domain I purchased a few months ago was registering a large sum of redirect traffic to KickstartCommerce.com.
