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).

How to fix WordPress cart-fragments.min.js error

November 25, 2020 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

I recently migrated a customer’s WordPress website from Bluehost to RoseHosting.

It was a good 6 year run with Bluehost, but this specific customer finally outgrew Bluehost web hosting services.

In actuality, Bluehost kept their website running on PHP 5.6 instead of upgrading to 7.x. But that’s a different story for another day.

The party was good until cart-fragments.min.js shut it down

My WordPress struggles with this given client’s website occurred after updating WooCommerce and updating to WordPress. After the latter update, the pages loaded but key elements driven by JavaScript were nowhere to be found.  But where, oh where could they be?

Qualifying, buying, and developing domain names from a digital marketing perspective — John D. Saunders

Qualifying, buying, and developing domain names from a digital marketing perspective — John D. Saunders
Written by: Alvin Brown

Many often credit computer engineer Ray Tomlinson as the person to have birthed digital marketing by sending the first-ever email in 1971.

Whether it was him or not, no one can argue the fact that digital marketing has forever changed the way we live and do business across the globe.

Digital marketing has evolved and continues to evolve. From computers to the internet to smartphones and more to come, we live our lives through devices in one way, shape, or form.

What’s most intriguing is that we live bound to the critical undergirding of a numerical label known as the internet protocol address, often disguised as a human-readable, unique domain name.

The better the domain name, the more likely your family, friends, vendors, and customers are apt to remember and visit your name time and time again.

Otherwise, if your domain is hard to remember, then it’s much like building a business miles away from the main thoroughfare.

Not many people will ever know you and your business exists.  In fact, you’ll invest exuberant amounts of time and money introducing your brand over and over again.

For this reason, it’s imperative to qualify, buy, and develop the best representation of your industry or branding for your business or personal brand.

2020 has certainly been a year of digital transformation and digital empowerment. In fact, the global economy has realized four years of growth in 10 months since COVID forever changed how we live and do business.

COVID is a lingering health nightmare that we all wish would end. Yet, COVID has forced brands of all types and sizes, including consumers, suppliers/vendors, etc., to embrace a progressively digital global economy.
