This chapter discusses the significance of regular health checks on domain portfolios to ensure proper resolution and addresses potential issues like blacklisting. The hosts share their experiences with tools like Scrapebox for automating these checks and highlight an online tool for detecting malware and phishing threats. Additionally, the chapter explores the concept of dormant domains and the potential business opportunities that arise from unlocking previously inaccessible domain names.
As we say on DomainSherpa - all roads lead to domains. And our work with domains has us venturing "down the rabbit hole" into different topics all the time. So this is a tech-adjacent, digital asset, pop-culture, tangent-positive monthly podcast - with some domains stuff thrown into the mix for good measure.
In this episode, JT is joined by Drew, Jen, and Leanne McMahon to discuss important factors to look at in regard to the health of a domain name.
The Sherpas dive into what to do if your domains are blacklisted by certain platforms. They also talk about the recent launch of Afternic Boost and discuss if broad-based marketing is effective for selling domain names.
