Two names, one business: when extra domains hurt the one you can sell

SEO people use “cannibalization” when two URLs on one site fight for the same query. Google’s notes on canonical URLs exist because search engines hate that fight. Domain investors create a dumber version: they register three names for one idea, split type-in, split inbound mail, and then wonder why none of them looks like the … Read more

A technical SEO audit is not a domain appraisal

A technical SEO audit answers: can Google fetch this site without tripping over itself? That is a real job. Google documents it under crawling and indexing. It is not an appraisal of the domain.

If the letters are leftover inventory, more visitors to junk are a … Read more

Domain Rating is not a price

This URL still promises “domain authority” and “trust metrics” before you buy. Those numbers exist. They are not a market price. I used to treat a high Ahrefs Domain Rating like an appraisal. Then I bought names that looked strong in a dashboard and empty in a buyer’s mouth. I’m Mostapha. I buy and sell … Read more

Moving a website is not the same as transferring a domain

Website migrations move files, databases, and DNS so a site keeps answering. Domain transfers move registration from one registrar account to another. ICANN’s transfer policy is about auth codes, locks, and who controls the name — not about WordPress. Mixing the two is how deals stall. This URL still reads like a zero-downtime site move. … Read more
