What You Need to Know About SEO

What You Need to Know About SEO

How many different websites do you visit each day? How many of those sites did you reach through a search engine? Chances are at least one of them if not more. Search engines are the gateway to much of the internet. People just like you go online in search of something, but not sure where to find it. Their search engine then directs them to a list of ranked websites. If you’re like most people, you will only check out the top ranked results, even though there may be multiple pages of results that match your search query. This means that it is extremely beneficial for your website to appear on that first page of results.

But how do these websites make it into the list? Search engine optimization. Simply put, search engine optimization is a process used by websites to give them a higher ranking and more visibility in search results.

It used to be that search engine optimization, or SEO, was as simple as having the right keywords placed all over your website and in the code that makes up your website. But that’s no longer true. While the big search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo have many number of factors that affect SEO with their service, they aren’t sharing what all these factors are. Think of what affects these SEO rankings as a recipe. We don’t know all the ingredients that make up this recipe, but thankfully top SEO experts have identified some.

Read on to learn how to include some of these ingredients in your website.

Your Domain

Before ICANN opened the gTLD world to more personalized domains, your domain didn’t matter much to your SEO. When most websites had similar domains like .com, .org, or .net, these didn’t add much to SEO other than credibility for the domain. Keywords have long been important in web addresses, but now they are important in domains as well. Websites that battled for top SEO ranking  with just their web address can now battle for it with their domain. Coffee.com now has to battle www.fresh.coffee. Think about the keywords that are important to your website and business and choose that domain.

Your Website

Keywords still play an important role in your website. Though they have been supplemented by some other important ingredients–which we will explain below–they still need to be a focus of your website. What are you selling? Why should people come to your website? If you’re selling, local, fair-trade coffee, find ways to include those keywords and that keyword phrase in many places on your website. Search engines give preferences to website who use a search term many times in their website. This shows these search engines that the website must be a good fit for the search term since it is used many times on the website. However, that doesn’t mean you should just type “local fair-trade coffee” on your website over and over. In fact, this is a bad idea. As search engines have gotten more complex they have been able to identify and even weed out websites that are trying to game the system and get all the clicks without providing good content

Your Content

Search engines like Google will often change what the engine looks for from websites to keep sites from manipulating it. One of the big changes Google has made recently has been a focus on quality content. Google is essentially a robot that crawls websites, so how does it know good content from bad? It doesn’t but it has some rules for what it think makes good content. A big rule is content that is enjoyed, shared and supported by others is considered more legitimate. That means you can create quality content all day, but if no one is reading it, Google won’t give it as much weight. So it is important to create quality content and get others to read it. How do you do this? Following the coffee example this may mean writing a blog on your website that talks not just about your coffee but about coffee in  general. What’s the best roast? How do you tell good coffee from bad? Write these blog posts and share them with friends, on social media and other blogs if possible. You are creating quality content that is keyword rich that you are now hopefully building an audience for.

These are just three ways to build your SEO and SEO is always changing. Services like Google give a little insight into what their search engine is looking for every few months. Keep an eye out for these updates, keep checking back here, and continue creating great content.

Five Reasons to Purchase Multiple Domains

Five Reasons to Purchase Multiple Domains

 

Domain Cost Club’s pricing and exceptional service makes it easy for members to purchase multiple domain names at many different top level domains (TLDs). But should you purchase multiples or maybe just one domain to start? For cost reasons, the benefits are great for DCC members. Your membership grants you at-cost pricing, so multiple domains won’t break the bank with markup. But are multiple domains the right choice for you? Read on to learn the benefits of owning multiple domains.

Diversity

For many people, a domain is an investment, and like many investments, a grouping of multiple domains is often referred to as a portfolio. A portfolio is often used when discussing stocks, which is a great way to frame reasons for having multiple domains. You wouldn’t invest all your money into just one stock, would you? That’s one reason to own multiple domains. Consider buying multiple domain names as well as domains at multiple .TLDs. This way, your investment is spread across many options that could give you a return on your purchase.

Experience

While there is much money to be made in domains, that doesn’t mean you’ll get rich off of your first domain sale or even feel totally sure of what you’re doing. With the low price point of domains purchased through DCC, you can learn domaining as you grow your portfolio. Perhaps your first few domains will be inexpensive, as you have success selling them or using them, you may feel comfortable buying domains in a higher price bracket with the hope of  a bigger return. Your experience in “domaining” and your portfolio can grow alongside each other.

Price Points

Due to demand and different TLDs, price points for domains purchased through DCC can range a bit. However, you can always be sure you’re getting the best price for your domain. Currently, domains with a .energy TLD purchased through DCC run around $66.00 dollars per year, where .net is just $7.54 per year. These TLDs offer different branding opportunities and a priced differently to reflect that. People might be interested in these domains for many different reasons, so it makes sense to purchase a few domain names at different TLDs and different price points to build your portfolio. This will help you to get different levels of return from your domain sales or personal use.

Investment

We’ve mentioned it a few times, but domains can be a great investment! The more domains you purchase, the more money you stand to make from sales of those domains. Just be sure you can manage the number of domains you own. Like stocks, domains will have high and low days and not everyone will be interested in the ones you own. Remember, investments can take time, so dont be afraid to hold out for the sale price you think your domain is worth.

Establish

As you purchase and sell more domains, you will become more experienced and established in the domain industry. This allows you to work with others who will benefit from your experience. A prospective buyer might be unsure if the person selling them a domain has only purchased one, built a portfolio can show a buyer that you’re experienced and have many domains to offer. This will give you great referrals too!

A DCC Global Domains International History Brief

Global Domains International History

 

GDI History

Global Domains International was launched in 1999 by Alan Ezeir and Michael Starr. The founders of GDI had the foresight to see beyond the restricted world of .COM and wanted to gain another top level domain (TLD) for use by people like you. Ezeir and Starr decided on the TLD of .WS, which stands for website and many other branded names.

In the early days of TLD, countries around the world were each granted their own  TLD, usually an abbreviation of the country name. As such .WS was the TLD of Western Samoa. GDI’s founders worked with the government of Western Samoa to secure .WS for use with GDI. GDI launched as an opportunity for people to have their own branded domain for life at .WS. The average consumer could never afford an expensive .COM, but .WS opened personalized domain names to everyone at an affordable price. In addition, GDI launched many support tools to build out the website at those domains as well as an affiliate marketing opportunity. To this day you can secure your .WS and more through GDI and earn income.

Domain Cost Club

Much like Ezeir and Starr predicted, .COM  is becoming less and less powerful while personalized TLDs are now becoming a hot commodity. Starting in 2013, ICANN began releasing TLDs never before imagined for public use. Think of .attorney, .pizza, and .website to name a few. These TLDs give the opportunity to brand your website in a whole new way.

Domain Cost Club was launched to bring these TLDs to you at the lowest price possible. All you have to do is become a member and you can have any number of these TLDs at cost—no markup! Now you can uniquely brand your business or businesses with any number of exciting top level domains. You can also become a DCC affiliate and work to offset your membership cost and make additional income.

The Connection

As you can see, GDI and DCC were both founded by the same people, Alan Ezeir and Michael Starr. In 1999 they saw the potential of opening the world of TLDs to buyers like you and as the landscape of TLDs changed, they are doing it again. GDI is still a great way to secure your Internet Address for Life as well as some great support tools to build out your website. DCC is a wonderful way to get into investing in domains and being ahead of the curve as the world of TLDs once again changes forever.
