If you haven’t heard the latest news over Mother’s weekend, over 90 countries were hit by the Wanna Decryptor virus, also known as WannaCry or WannaCrypt.

In light of this news and the release of I❤️.ws, got me to thinking about Emoji + ASCII domain names.  If you have no clue of what I’m talking about in regards to emoji domain names, then check here and Twitter to get up to speed.

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.

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?

This time last week I was in route to League City, Texas with much anticipation for a bit of shop talk, and engaging new relationships at the DNHouston Meetup.

And what a time we had aboard a HoustonPartyBoats.com barge sharing with one another as well as hearing some insight thoughts about search marketing and domain industries.

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!
