InLinks Market Trends: Spot and Track Trends in Your Industry

Posted on April 27, 2020 Written by Bill Hartzer

inlinks market trends

InLinks Market Trends is a new tool by InLinks.net that allow you to spot and track market trends before anyone else sees that market trend. Imagine if you could see trends in your particular market, your category, your topic before anyone else. How valuable would that be? For me, that would be great. As a blogger, I like to write about topics that are just starting to trend: I can get a page to rank for a keyword when there’s not that much competition. Then, when it gets more popular, I’m already ranking for that keyword. You can apply that technique to literally any industry if you have a blog on your website. [Read more…]

3 Things To Do Today for Safer Internet Day

Posted on February 9, 2016 Written by Bill Hartzer

Today, Tuesday, February 9th, is Safer Internet Day. I honestly didn’t realize that it was Safer Internet Day yet, until a friend of mine posted about Google giving us 2 extra GB of data in our Google Drive accounts. If you do a quick 2 minute security check of your Google Account, Google will reward you with extra storage space (which they normally charge for). There are, in fact, other things that you can do today, as well, for internet security. Here are three things that you can do right now, today, that will make the internet safer for you and for all of us. [Read more…]

Two New gTLD Domains Show Up in Alexa What’s Hot

Posted on January 6, 2016 Written by Bill Hartzer

One of the things that I monitor on a regular basis is the Alexa What’s Hot (on the web), formerly called the Alexa Hot URLs. In order to be on that list (that’s updated every five minutes or so), the site has to have a LOT of traffic going to it. So, when I looked at the list of top 20 URLs on the web in terms of traffic, I was surprised to see two new gTLD domain names there on the list. While I’m surprised that this is the first time I’ve seen new gTLD domains there, I’m not surprised that they are .CLUB domains.

alexa-whatshot-URLs-Jan6-2016

The two sites are DatingAdvices.Club and HomeFitnessBeauty.Club. Unfortunately, looking at these particular names, though, it appears that they’re most likely on the list of Alexa What’s Hot URLs because they’re doing something nefarious with the traffic or doing something that isn’t “natural”.
