Well, we are ready to start publishing our purchases. We plan to buy a variety of domains, not in any particular niche. Since we’re newbies, we figured, as most intelligent people would, what makes a good domain. We’re not sure our analysis was correct, but we figured that if a domain contains high paying keywords, it can’t be too bad of a domain.
In that vein, we began to look for good keywords to use for domains from top keyword lists. We found that many of the paid “top keyword” or keyword reserach services are crap - however we found a few that we won’t disclose - oh, come on, you can’t expect us to tell you everything! So, given that we were looking for high paying keywords, we looked to see what domains were available with the words “high paying keywords” - as we suspected, most would be gone. At this point, we’re not sure of the affect of dashes on domain traffic, so we’re going to jump into domains that have dashes - good idea? Only time will tell. I suspect that two domains, one with dashes and one without, with all things being equal (data on their sites), the one with more quality links will win out. So, we figured we’d give the domain high-paying-keywords.com a try.
Now that we were unafraid of domains with dashes and we were looking for relatively high paying keywords, we went a bit crazy on some domains - we’ll be able to tell long-term if these were worth purchasing, but we suspect they’ll have some value in the future, even if they are .info domains! :) We purchased:
- cheap-auto-insurence.info - Yeah, we know it’s a spelling mistake and we knew it when we made the purchase too, FYI
- how-to-trade-currencies.info - We’ve considered dabbling in forex, so to learn we might develop a site with this domain as we’re learning
- on-line-trading.info - We’ve done our fair share of online trading, so we thought we’d pick this up.
- refinancing-your-house.info - In this turbulent housing market, people are looking for this type of information
- student-loan-consolidation-programs.info (paying for university is tough, especially when getting money lent from different sources.
- back-ground-checks.info - We’ve dabbled with the idea of making a site on this topic - now it seems like others have taken this idea and run with it, so we’re a little too late…oh well
That’s all we got this time around. Keep apprised for our future purchases!
