May 21, 2020 By John Colascione 2 Comments

PALM BEACH, FL – Those who know me know I keep a keen eye on the geographic name space and I noticed today that the exact match domain name for the U.S. State of Vermont is for sale on Flippa.com.

April 8, 2020 By John Colascione 1 Comment

PALM BEACH, FL – Finding a good, short, “.com” domain name nowadays is much harder than it was in the past, but it certainly isn’t impossible. What you don’t want to do, is listen to bad advice from someone who tells you to go ahead and register an alternative, such as “.net”, “.biz”, or “.info”. Whatever you do, don’t make that mistake, because you will very likely regret it at some point in the future. Unless your business is an ‘organization” you could get a “.org” … [Read more...]

October 8, 2019 By John Colascione 1 Comment

PALM BEACH, FL –An interesting opportunity has arisen from new domain name registry company Donuts Inc., which operates roughly 240 new generic top-level domains (gTLDs). Although I am less than a huge fan of new gTLDs, there are industry veterans who do in fact use them in certain scenarios of ‘super premiums’, and you’ll have an opportunity to filter through a list of over 1.1 million names (previously on hold) now being released in a price-drop by the … [Read more...]

Gobble, Gobble: Google Wants To Steal Your Website’s Local Event Calendar Traffic Too

October 7, 2019 By John Colascione Leave a Comment

PALM BEACH, FL – No, its not quite Thanksgiving yet; there are still several weeks to go. I wasn’t referring to [that] type of “Gobble, Gobble”, with a turkey or thanksgiving or any of that. But Gobble, Gobble seems to fit the bill. Because if you were to ask Google, every day is like a feeding frenzy. I’m talking about Google’s insatiable appetite to steal all of your content so that there is little traffic left for you. In fact, I bet Google would much prefer if your … [Read more...]

July 16, 2019 By John Colascione Leave a Comment

PALM BEACH, FL – While I see domain name redirects in play - almost every day, rarely do I see them tied to an obvious tracking campaign as one I stumbled onto this morning.

Hallmark Continues to ‘Cash-In’ On Premium Holiday Web Name “Easter.com”, Or Does It?

April 21, 2019 By John Colascione 2 Comments

WEST PALM BEACH – Originally registered in 1998, the domain name “Easter.com” redirects visitors to the Hallmark.com website where conveniently Easter cards and gifts are highlighted. This is a good use of a premium domain name, outside of development of course. Hallmark has owned this domain name since at least 2010 when it was highlighted by Domain Name Wire. Out of curiosity, I decided to visit it this morning to see what’s there. A good question to ask, if even … [Read more...]

Almost 10 Years Now Dealing With Google’s Ambiguous “(Not Provided)” Keywords

March 9, 2019 By John Colascione Leave a Comment

NEW YORK – I remember when reviewing my domains traffic statistics was not only informative, but fun. I loved to see how my SEO efforts led to pages bringing in more and more keyword traffic from search terms the pages ranked well for. Such is not the case these days as A) most of the free traffic has dried up due to ads, maps, local listings, etc; and B) Google has removed all the keywords that lead to page traffic (within statistics programs), so its not much fun … [Read more...]

February 22, 2019 By John Colascione 2 Comments
