Neil Shearing’s Internet Marketing Strategies

If you’re going to make money with Adsense (or similar programs) you’re probably going to buy quite a few domain names. You may not think so, but one or two here and there adds up quickly… and you want to make sure you get the right ones.

What do I mean by the right ones? Well, quite simply, it helps your search engine rankings to have the search term you’re trying to be ranked highly for in your domain name.

Check it out for yourself at Google. Here’s an example… home theater… seven of the top ten results have “home” and “theater” in their URLs… and one of the other three is Amazon!

People are arguing over whether or not you should use hyphens in the domain name, but most people seem to agree that having keywords in the domain names helps with your ranking.

So, you plug in your desired domain name into a registrar… taken.

You plug in something similar… taken.

You plug in something similar… taken.

Aww shucks, this isn’t much FUN!

Well, here’s a cool tool that plugs your keyword into Overture and gets similar phrases containing your keyword which it reports to you along with the number of searches per month… it also checks to see if those domain names are taken or not.

The ones that are available and have lots of people searching for the keywords in the domain name are your hot tickets!

So, say for example you’re keyword is “internet marketing” but “internetmarketing.com” is taken, you plug “internet marketing” into this tool and it shows you what other terms, containing “internet marketing” people are searching for… the number of searches and whether or not the domain is taken. So, you could see that the next most popular after “internet marketing” is “internet marketing help” searched for almost as much, but it’s available! Bingo. You have a domain name containing not only a phrase you know people are searching for (”internet marketing help”), but it still contains the phrase “internet marketing”!

Ok, so you can see how powerful it is… let people know you heard about it at this blog when you’re rich and famous!

Here’s the link to check it out!
