Good opportunity to sponsor and get your brand in front of a ton of marketers and those who buy domains regularly (for themselves and for their clients).

And you get a directory listing as well.

[Bill Hartzer @bhartzer]

We have a few Sponsor spots left for the @State_of_Search conference Oct 19th in Dallas.

If you're a tool provider or agency, you might consider sponsoring. A sponsorship also includes a listing in our upcoming directory, so you'll get a link as well.

Branded vs. Non-Branded keywords and why you should be buying keyword-rich domains.

#domains

[Bill Hartzer @bhartzer]

Here's something interesting about owning a generic, keyword-rich domain name.

My website, https://t.co/0ueEpcW64g, gets most of its Google search clicks from queries that Google Search Console classifies as branded.

In fact, 77% of my clicks are classified as branded traffic, compared with just 23% classified as non-branded.

But look at the top actual search queries in the data:

search engines
search engine
best search engine
web search engine
all search engines
search engine directory
directory of search engines
most used search engines in the world

These are generic search phrases. They're not necessarily searches for a company or brand.

Of course, some queries, such as "searchengines" and "search engine net," could indicate that someone is specifically looking for my website.

But that's what makes this interesting.

When your domain name is also a generic keyword, the distinction between a branded search and a non-branded search can get blurry.

With a new website on a company-name domain, you typically have to build brand recognition over time. You also have to earn visibility for the generic keywords relevant to your business.

With a domain like https://t.co/0ueEpcW64g, the domain itself matches the generic search terms people use.

Is it possible for a generic, keyword-rich domain to make branded traffic reporting look very different from what we'd expect?

So true... think before you post.

[Bill Hartzer @bhartzer]

I see so many friends posting and it's as if they didn't think about what they're posting or the how it's going to come across when others see it.

You're being judged on everything that you post.

Everything.

You're "on the unofficial ballot" so to speak.

That's exactly what my book's about.

EMD domains still work. #domains

[Bill Hartzer @bhartzer]

Google shipped an update targeting exact match domains in 2012. The industry has called them dead ever since.

In today's ranking factors survey, Shai Aharony: "I'm just as surprised as everyone else by how effective EMDs are still."

I'm not surprised.

@MikeDomainer @netsolcares The domain thief got ahold of the @netsolcares account and transferred the domain without permission from the owner.

The domain thief listed it on Sedo for sale at a ridiculously low price, and we were able to get that listing taken down.

@netsolcares said they won't help.

[DNAccess @dnaccess]

The domain name https://t.co/mQezvBg1C0 is a stolen domain name.

It was stolen from @netsolcares and transferred without the owner's permission to InternetBS registrar.

We've been working with the domain owner to recover this stolen domain.

@Jason_Franklin A lot of dev of domains involves fully understand intent. What is the intention of visitors, what do they expect to see when the visit the site? Site topic should reflect the domain.

There are actually 18 ways to use a domain: I documented it all on https://t.co/rlc1Og3MPx.

The @Namecheap outage highlights an really important issue that a lot of us don't think of:

For risk management purposes, you should generally not be relying on one company as your Registrar, DNS, and web hosting.

Spread it out amongst 3 companies for less risk.
