SEO.Domains at CMSEO 2026: Bringing Owned Authority to Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai SEO Conference 2026 is officially underway. From November 9–13, more than 800 SEOs, agency founders, and affiliates are gathering at the Chiang Mai Marriott Hotel for one of the industry’s biggest annual gatherings.

SEO.Domains is back as an official Platinum Sponsor, and this year, Founder and CEO Kalin Karakehayov is taking the main stage on the Link Building Track.

Throughout CMSEO week, our team is bringing hands-on experience in domain strategy and link building to conversations across the conference.

Presentation: “I Own a Piece of the Internet. Your Brand Can Grow There, Rent-Free”

Kalin Karakehayov, Founder and CEO of SEO.Domains, has built one of the world’s largest portfolios of aged domains, with 220,000+ domain assets and 30,000+ pre-built websites spanning markets and niche verticals worldwide.

At CMSEO 2026, Kalin is presenting a different approach to building authority: instead of relying entirely on platforms and placements you don’t control, brands can own established websites and put their authority to work.

His session dives into how this approach creates new possibilities for competitive link building and AI search visibility, giving brands access to authority they can put to work rather than simply rent.

Connect With SEO.Domains in Chiang Mai

The SEO.Domains team is in Chiang Mai throughout CMSEO week, meeting with agency owners, enterprise teams, affiliate publishers, and SEO practitioners working in competitive markets.

Whether you’re looking for aged domains for a new project, established websites to build on, or stronger link-building opportunities for an existing brand, our team can discuss what makes sense for your strategy.

Our portfolio includes:

• Aged and expired domains: launch with existing authority signals instead of starting from zero
• Pre-built websites: reduce the cold-start problem in high-competition verticals
• Homepage links and brand mentions: support rankings, topical relevance, and AI visibility
• Multi-vertical strategy: affiliate, lead gen, parasite, local, and international SEO deployment

Practitioners-Led Insights at CMSEO 2026

CMSEO is built for people competing in hard niches.

Kalin Karakehayov shares the main stage with industry names including Kyle Roof, Michał Suski, Dennis Yu, Joy Hawkins, Kasra Dash, Charles Floate, Tomek Rudzki, Manick Bhan, and David Quaid.

The 2026 agenda reflects where search is heading:

• AI SEO: LLM visibility, AI search, and how brands get discovered and cited
• Technical SEO: site architecture, crawling, indexation, and technical implementation
• Link Building: link acquisition, authority, and strategies for competitive rankings
• Content: content production, distribution, and scaling
• Business Growth: lead generation, agency operations, and building or selling online businesses

These topics are increasingly connected. Search visibility depends not only on content and technical execution, but also on the authority and references behind a website.

That is where SEO.Domains fits into the conversation: helping SEO teams put established domain authority to work across competitive markets.
