How to track WordPress 301 redirects with Pretty Links

May 24, 2017 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

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?

GoDaddy adds valuation to expired domain auction

May 19, 2017 1 Comment
Written by: Alvin Brown

Yet another wrinkle has been added to expired domain auctions in the last week or so.

If you’re new to domain investing, then you want to read this article closely. It could truly change the outcome of your GoDaddy expired domain auctions experience.

If you’re like me, I spend a good chunk of time within the GoDaddy expired domain auction platform.

From preparing daily auction lists to researching and investing for customers to doing my own investing, I quite often notice changes like the latest one.

Af first, I thought I might be seeing and experiencing an auction glitch of some sort when I first encountered this wrinkle.

Before saying anything or too much, I decided to wait a week to see how things shake out. And sure enough, I wasn’t seeing things.

🔎 Where to register, buy, and sell available emoji domains.

May 17, 2017 1 Comment
Written by: Alvin Brown

Let me be the first to say that I’m not certain where emoji domains are headed.

It’s highly unlikely they’ll become the .com darling or widely accepted and used as a primary web presence option for businesses and personal brands.

You must admit that emojis spice domains up a bit, although they are not a complete replacement. In fact, I believe emojis lend themselves well to being used in print ads as short links.

That’s one of the very reasons keyword domains exist today is that we humans can’t seem to remember IP addresses.

With a decent chunk of .com domains registered, emojis might further supplement the story plot.  How do you ask?

🎯 Check before sending domain sales emails…

check and verify domain name ownership
Written by: Alvin Brown

I receive a fair amount of weekly emails from people across the world attempting to sell me on their greatest gem of a domain and how it’ll change my life forever.

Not too often, one of these emails will be legit. Most recently, the email offers have been hyphenated, multi-word, wrong tense, wrong order if any order domains.

Case in point, the following emails just today and yesterday:

  • Furniturez.biz
  • Downloadz-empire.net
  • Downloader-manger.org
  • SafeCab.net
  • Villerealestate.com
  • TheTermInsurance.com
  • ACarRepair.com

Most of these reach the spam bin if not already in there to begin with. But then there are a few legitimate domain sales emails that catch my eye.

The one I’m referencing today that caught my did for a number of reasons.

Written by: Alvin Brown

domain-negotiating-powerIt’s quite popular, but posting domains with prices on Twitter might not be the smartest move for domain investors.

If you’ve been keeping up and watching the flurry of activity around @DomainKing’s Twitter posts, then you’ve likely been seeing a trove of domain listings.
