The most common domain theft we see involves no hacker. A nonprofit’s web developer moved its domains into his own account and demanded payment.
As of November 2026, he still controls the domain. What every small organization should do now: dnaccess.com/case-studies/m…

Only 24% of Forbes Global 2000 companies use registry lock (CSC, 2024). It is one of the few controls that still stops a hijacker after a registrar account is compromised. dnaccess.com/domain-securit…

New gTLDs hold 11% of the domain market but 51% of phishing domains (Interisle, 2025).
That gap is why brands block lookalike names instead of registering every extension. dnaccess.com/online-brand-p…

92.2% of top-level domains are DNSSEC-signed. Only about 5% of second-level domains are.

Most stolen domains are lost one of four ways: account takeover, support-desk fraud, a vendor moving the name, or a missed renewal.

Patterns.com was taken in 2020 through a fake-ID email change and moved to an overseas registrar. The registrar transfer dispute failed.
A UDRP got it back in 2022. The full timeline: dnaccess.com/case-studies/p…
But it remains stolen. It was stolen twice.

Good opportunity to sponsor and get your brand in front of a ton of marketers and those who buy domains regularly (for themselves and for their clients).
And you get a directory listing as well.
And you get a directory listing as well.
We have a few Sponsor spots left for the @State_of_Search conference Oct 19th in Dallas.
If you're a tool provider or agency, you might consider sponsoring. A sponsorship also includes a listing in our upcoming directory, so you'll get a link as well.

Here's something interesting about owning a generic, keyword-rich domain name.
My website, SearchEngines.net, gets most of its Google search clicks from queries that Google Search Console classifies as branded.
In fact, 77% of my clicks are classified as branded traffic, classified as non-branded.
But look at the top actual search queries in the data:
search engines
search engine
best search engine
web search engine
all search engines
search engine directory
directory of search engines
most used search engines in the world
These are generic search phrases. They're not necessarily searches for a company or brand.
Of course, some queries, such as "searchengines" and "search engine net," could indicate that someone is specifically looking for my website.
But that's what makes this interesting.
When your domain name is also a generic keyword, the distinction between a branded search and a non-branded search can get blurry.
With a new website on a company-name domain, you typically have to build brand recognition over time. You also have to earn visibility for the generic keywords relevant to your business.
With a domain like SearchEngines.net, the domain itself matches the generic search terms people use.
Is it possible for a generic, keyword-rich domain to make branded traffic reporting look very different from what we'd expect?

So true... think before you post.
I see so many friends posting and it's as if they didn't think about what they're posting or the how it's going to come across when others see it.
You're being judged on everything that you post.
Everything.
You're "on the unofficial ballot" so to speak.
That's exactly what on Amazon: amazon.com/Unofficial-Bal…

EMD domains still work. #domains
Google shipped an update targeting exact match domains in 2012. The industry has called them dead ever since.
In today's ranking factors survey, Shai Aharony: "I'm just as surprised as everyone else by how effective EMDs are still."
I'm not surprised.
