Hi, I have been marketing for a while, using several blackhat techniques, but now im going back to college, im thinking of jumping on the whitehat bandwagon to earn some passive income! I have done some keyword research and i have a couple of good keywords with 1800 searches monthly, low competition and a sugg.bid of $3.09 (whatever that means) Im building micro niche sites, and providing unique content! My questions are: 1. No .com domains are available .. will .net rank well IF the .com of the same domain is just parked and doing nothing? .. Whats your thoughts on .netc? 2. do - in the domains make it less likely to succeed? .. eg, xxx-xxxx-xxx.com thanks a lot for your help!
1. yes will rank well, and better than the parked .com 2. no Btw - make sure there actually are advertisers for your keywords before you get started.
I agree with the above. You can get anything to rank as good, in my opinion, as long as it has better onsite seo and backlinks. If it is a better site, it will do better. I would leave the - out. I would stick with throwing an extra keyword in there or something.
I am not so sure about question 1 but I can answer question 2 for you. The - is not a negative in the URL. I have read a lot of posts here that says - is considered spam by Google but I have seen url's with many -'s in them ranking well for very competitive keywords.
1. Any kind of TLDs are good to go. 2. Always go for domain name without "-" 3. If there is no exact TLD is available consider that keyword as difficult one to rank.
YOur Question was Pretty Much Answered but I Just wanted to Add. If a Keyword you Want & Like is Taken eg. I want Pilates.com It's taken so I'd just be "Creative" Add something/anything after the keyword. Pilatesnow.com pilates11.com pilatesmastery.com I Just think of & go with whatever sounds good.
