We all know how much it can help your ranking in the search engines when your domain name is the same as your target keyword. Just try searching any given keyword. You’ll almost always find one or more keyword based domain names within Google’s top 10.
The following technique is a great way to quickly dig up some great keyword based domain names without spending hours doing keyword research and manually trying each possible combination to see if your new domain name idea is even available.
- First, go to Google’s free keyword tool at: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordTool#
- Run a search for the root keyword of your niche. For example if you were planning to sell a course on internet marketing you might simply enter “internet business” or “make money online” or whatever other root keyword you think best captures the theme of your site.
- Sort the list from highest to lowest search volume so that highest search volume appears at the top of the page.
- At the top left hand corner of the page select “download (total number) of keywords’. Then a window will open up asking how you want to download them. If you have Excel, download them to Excel. If not, notepad will work.
- Once they are downloaded to your computer (and assuming you have Excel), open the excel file and delete all keywords from number 499 on. If you have less than 499 keywords then just copy them and paste them as is. Note: we are copying only 499 keywords because the heading “keyword” is going to copy over from the excel file making it a total of 500, which is the maximum number we can use for this technique.
- Highlight the keywords column in your Excel file and copy all remaining keywords to your clip board.
- Next go to Godaddy.com. Hover over the “Domains” tab and a drop down window will open up. Click on “Bulk Domain Name Registration”.
- Paste your 500 keywords into the search field. Tick whatever type of domain name you are interested in. The most common domain extensions of course being dot com. Note: If you select multiple domain extensions you will need to enter less keywords. Reason being that the system is going to parse out your keywords first by adding the extensions. For example if you add 300 keywords into the system and select dot com and dot net, the system will add both extensions to each keyword making a total of 600 keywords which is 100 over the limit.
- Click “search”. You will then see the domain extension added to your list. Click “search” again.
- You will now see a field appear with a red border. Within that field will be a list of domain names you searched with the word “error” in front of them. This means that those domains are not available. Below that in the original search field is a list of domain names that are available.
And that’s it. Simply pick the one that you like. You might also take a selection of the top candidates and run individual competition searches to see which keyword phrase gets the most traffic.
My search turned up dozens of available high quality – keyword based – domain names.
The following is a sample of a few of the available domain names I found when I basd my search around “internet business”:
INTERNETBUSINESSSERVICE.COM
INTERNETBUSINESSSTRUCTURE.COM
INTERNETBUSINESSBLOGS.COM
INTERNETBUSINESSINDUSTRY.COM
TOP10INTERNETBUSINESS.COM
Each of them would make potentially great domain names for a website in the internet business niche. They are keywords that Google suggests have regular search volume and for which you would stand a very good chance of ranking for with a domain name that was itself the target keyword. This technique is especially beneficial for affiliate and adsense mini sites where you are looking for a slow but steady amount of long tail traffic.
