The company was awarded “Best Small Business Domain Services Provider – 2022.” Now in its sixth year, the Corporate Excellence Awards were launched by Corporate Vision (CV) Magazine to showcase the companies and individuals committed to innovation, business growth, and providing the very best products and services to clients across a wide range of industries. “We’re very pleased to be recognized for our work,” said Akram J. Atallah, CEO, Identity Digital. “The category is especially relevant as we help small businesses find, grow and protect their authentic digital identities while keeping them safe from phishing attacks. When they select a new web address for their digital identity, they leverage both sides of the dot to express what their company is and why it matters.” Many forward-thinking small companies are moving towards industry-specific, short, memorable new web addresses to help define an authentic digital identity and positively impact SEO. These modern domains also allow businesses to creatively use both the left and right sides of the dot to tell the world who they are and what they do and stand out from competitors. For instance, the domains builders.studio, armoire.style, and xbox.games are not only striking and concise, but they clearly express what these companies are about. This award is judged purely on merit by Corporate Vision’s in-house team, with all potential winners assessed against multiple relevant criteria, including company performance over a given period, expertise within the industry, sector or region, previous accolades won, and client testimonials or recommendations.   About Corporate Vision Magazine CV Magazine is a monthly magazine brought to you by AI Global Media Ltd, a publishing house that has reinvigorated corporate news and reporting.

Volatility in Social Platforms Leads to Surge in .Social Domains Premium .social registrations are up 485% MoM in Nov MTD vs. October BELLEVUE, WA – December 6, 2022 – Shortly after Elon Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion, the social media platform lost more than 1.3 million users,[1] and around the same time .social domain registrations surged, per data from Identity Digital,™ a leader in connecting the online world with domain names and related technologies. For example, in the first two weeks of November, month-over-month (MoM) .social top-level domain (TLD) registrations were up 435%. “Volatility in social platforms that people rely on leads users to take action to own their digital identity and content, which often starts with finding a domain name,” said Akram J. Atallah, CEO of Identity Digital. “One platform capitalizing on the Twitter shakeup is Mastodon.social, a distributed social media alternative that boasts, “Social networking that’s not for sale.” In a Nov. 8 post, Founder Eugen Rochko said the social network gained 489,000 users in less than two weeks, boosting its membership to over one million active monthly users. With the growing popularity of Mastodon, Identity Digital has also seen a 5.8x MoM (October to November) increase in high-value keyword .social names being snatched up, including arts.social, lol.social and justice.social. Many of these domains point to Mastodon profiles/instances. This surge indicates users are recognizing the ability to brand themselves on social media with these memorable descriptive domain names leveraging both sides of the dot to show who they are and what they do. Instead of creating a single unified platform, Mastodon allows anyone to use open-source software to boot up a server that hosts a Twitter-like community with its own rules. Together those servers form a collective of interlinked communities dubbed the “Fediverse.” Users can join a server that matches their interests and community standards, connect with others on different servers, or block all content from a particular server completely. “Social media users understand that big tech doesn’t work without them,” said Atallah. “They are making a stand to own their content and build digital identities resistant to platform volatility and leveraging descriptive domains like .social to do so.” About Identity Digital Identity Digital Inc. simplifies and connects the online world with domain names and related technologies to empower people to build, market, and own their authentic digital identities. With the world’s largest portfolio of nearly 300 TLDs, such as .live, .technology, and .restaurant, Identity Digital operates around 25 million domains on its innovative registry services platform.

Identity Digital Releases Its First DNS Anti-Abuse Report The quarterly report, made possible by its Dynamic Defense™ service, demonstrates significant progress in mitigating domain abuse among its top-level domains (TLDs). BELLEVUE, WA – November 30, 2022 – To promote awareness among registrars, trusted notifiers, and end users, Identity Digital™, a leader in connecting the online world with domain names and related technologies, very recently published its first (Q2) Anti-Abuse Report. The report shares data and statistics on DNS abuse within the registry operator’s TLD portfolio. The second (Q3) Anti-Abuse Report is slated to come out shortly as well.  The Anti-Abuse Report found that nearly 93% of the abuse cases identified in Q2 2022 involved phishing attacks, including homograph attacks, where bad actors register domains using visually similar characters to legitimate websites for nefarious purposes. Identity Digital automatically blocks homographic domain names, ensuring none of their variations can be registered. “We’re proud to publish our first Anti-Abuse Report that raises awareness on a wide range of DNS attacks and demonstrates significant progress in mitigating domain abuse within our TLD ecosystem,” says Akram Atallah, CEO of Identity Digital. “While overall quite rare, in cases of clear domain abuse, we aim to intervene as quickly as possible. Most of the harm is done in the first eight hours, so taking swift action is important. As a result of the Dynamic Defense initiative, we observe  55% mitigation of identified reports, within 24 hours of a report, which is five times faster than the 96 hours industry standard.” The Identity Digital Dynamic Defense™ (DND) team has decades of experience dealing with DNS abuse, drafted industry-standard security frameworks, and are on the front lines of the fight against DNS abuse. Identity Digital acts upon specific, credible notices on serious abuse cases, including child sexual abuse materials, illegal online distribution of opioids, human trafficking, and specific and credible incitements to violence.

Kickstart Domain Visibility with the Right Domain Name Kimberly Michener, Sr. Director, Brand and Marketing Communications, Identity Digital “If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?” You can ask a similar question about your website. “If you choose a beautiful theme and fill it with all types of content and no one ever finds it, does it impact your business or organization?” Several factors work together to determine the impact a website has. Identifying and tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) can help search engine optimization (SEO) specialists find the balance that leads to the right people finding the site and interacting with it. Looking at a single metric, like web traffic, can provide some insight, but it takes more to understand how effective the website is overall. Tracking SEO domain visibility can help. What Is SEO Domain Visibility? SEO domain visibility represents how effective your website content is at building organic traffic. Basically, the score acknowledges that for people to find a website organically, it has to rank for the keywords they type into a search field. Then, the content descriptions, snippets, or other previews that appear in the search results must be compelling enough to get people to click.  There are different methods for calculating a visibility score. Searchmetrics, for example, uses the search volume of the keywords a site ranks for, the ranking position the site achieves, how often the site’s URLs are in organic search results, and CTR (click through rate). Similarly, Moz factors in all rankings of a site’s keywords and applies an estimated CTR with weightings based on keyword rankings. The Impact of the Domain Itself While you won’t see a number representing domain name effectiveness factored into a domain visibility calculation, it does affect the result. Long URLs that look more like lines of source code than a brand name can discourage people from clicking. Furthermore, if a competitor is the next result on the list, its domain name reflects what its business does, and the URL for the search result is clear and concise, that’s probably the one the web user will click. Short, to-the-point domain names with the top-level domain (TLD) .com are hard to come by, as most have been registered by businesses or speculators. Fortunately, descriptive TLDs, such as .catering, .hospital, and .live (and hundreds more), can help create domain names that help you build an authentic digital identity by using both sides of the dot to express exactly what your business does. They’re easier for web users to read, understand, and remember, which can increase domain visibility, website traffic and engagement with your site. For instance, Amna Suleiman, digital marketing specialist at OneStream, wanted two clear, meaningful and effective words for the company’s domain. Research showed that ‘onestream’ and ‘live’ were high-volume search keywords for live streaming, so the company chose onestream.live, which gave them the desired SEO results. SEO Consultant, Fili Weis, adds, “seo.consulting is the best domain name available for our niche. Our website’s purpose is clear to potential visitors who see us in Google search results and across the web. More importantly, our name helps search engines understand the purpose of our website. Using a new top-level domain is a superb strategy to build our brand, increase relevant site traffic, and ultimately drive conversions.” In addition to choosing the right domain name, there are other steps you can take to improve visibility: ●      Strengthen content quality: Ensure your site features a variety of content types, such as videos, infographics, and downloadable assets, as well as text. All content should be optimized for search, but it should also be insightful, informative, and valuable to your audience. The nuts and bolts of SEO can put your content on a search results page, but its quality will get people to click. ●      New keywords: Look at keywords related to your core focus to see if your audience is searching for different terms, and make sure you rank for them as well. ●      Optimize content for the answer box: People often type questions instead of just keywords, so Google responded a few years ago with the “answer box” or featured snippets to respond to questions right on the search results page. Answers and snippets give you the advantage of putting your content at the top of the search engine results page. To be chosen for this feature, research the “People also ask” section to see if you can provide a better answer than what’s available or include a bullet list in your content that answers questions. If you consistently produce quality content, you may find Google chooses your content in some cases without any extra strategy on your part. ●      Run a site audit and address findings: Errors such as duplicate content, site loading time, and the status of your site map can impact search rankings. Correcting the technical side of SEO can contribute to better search rankings and, therefore, better visibility. Monitor SEO Domain Visibility It’s important to remember that if you achieve a good domain visibility score today, it may not be good tomorrow. Your competition may step up their game, or an algorithm change may create search engine ranking reordering. By monitoring this metric, you can stay informed of changes and adapt to maintain visibility in front of your audience. However, stay focused on the basics: a domain name that reflects your brand and your business, content optimized for search engines, and a focus on the keywords your audience uses in searches. It will keep you well-positioned to make your website visible online. Kim joined Identity Digital in 2021.

Fashion Brands Choose Domains with Meaningful Words on Both Sides of The Dot for Online Branding Innovative and Cutting-Edge Clothing and Apparel Businesses Craft Memorable Domains for Their Online Stores.   BELLEVUE, WA – September 27, 2022 –Identity Digital™, a leader in connecting the online world with domain names and related technologies, announced after an exciting Fashion Week that emerging, small as well as well-known businesses such as Vogue and Michael Kors are choosing descriptive domains to elevate their digital brands. Descriptive domains allow users to benefit from meaningful words on both sides of the dot and can anchor a strong search engine optimization (SEO) strategy, helping shoppers find businesses online more easily. Smart branding is key to competitiveness in the fashion industry. A brand communicates a business’s unique characteristics—the visible style and the feelings and emotions associated with it. In the digital era, building a cohesive brand online is essential to continue to express a business’s brand identity and remain on the cutting edge. Numerous fashion-related companies are taking advantage of descriptive domains that use both sides of the dot to showcase their brands. For instance, premier and innovative fashion magazine Vogue directed readers to its online Fashion Week edition with the domain vogue.world. This domain name clearly expresses what Vogue embodies, fashion all over the world, and installs this concept of the brand in each reader. Other famous fashion enterprises choosing shorter, more memorable domain names that reflect their brand identities include michaelkors.global and ralphlauren.global. Fashion businesses are also using Identity Digital top-level domains (TLDs) to quickly communicate exactly what their businesses do, such as president.shoes, the Johnston & Murphy site about the tradition of providing footwear to U.S. presidents, and staud.clothing, a leader in wardrobe staples. Descriptive TLDs are popular as well with emerging brands, such as brielle.clothing, featured in Who What Wear 2021, Ali MacGraw’s company butter.shoes, and freedomheated.clothing, which offers heated clothing for motorcyclists. Limitato.shop and limitato.clothing chose their names for businesses that offer wearable fine art, babycakes.clothing is a black-owned crochet boutique with products created by cancer survivors, and bearwear.clothing, is a loungewear and comfort brand founded by MTV’s The Challenge and Ex on the Beach UK alum Rogan O’Connor. The Wrap Life, which offers authentic African headwraps, chose TheWrap.Life as its domain. Nnenna Stella, founder, says, “I just thought it was the perfect introduction. It’s the name of our company, and .life supports our mission – we’re doing things differently.” “We’ve seen a steady uptick in fashion-related businesses purchasing our domain names in the past four years, with 2021 showing a significant increase,” said Akram Atallah, CEO of Identity Digital. “Choosing the optimal domain is the basis of a successful digital branding and SEO strategy, and we are excited to see small as well as larger well-known fashion and apparel brands embracing descriptive domain names to make it happen.” Those interested in learning more about Identity Digital domain names should contact their preferred domain registrar to check availability and pricing.
