Domains and search engines
Alone, domains really hold no weight as far as search engines go. All that matters on the web is traffic and conversions. For example, the keyword “iphone” is a generic term. But, ”iphone accessories” is better. Better yet, is the term “black iphone accessories” because the customer is searching for a specific item.
Someone searching for “iphone” doesnt mean they will buy. They may just be looking for information on the iphone.
Another example are celebrity websites. Suppose Singer A gets 80,000 searches. This means nothing because the person might be looking for pictures, lyrics, etc. However “Singer A hot song theme ringtones” will convert better since it is a targeted search.
These are called longtail searches. This is a somewhat secret to the web. The longer the search phrase is, the more likely the customer will buy.
Holding a domain is one way to make money but it is not the way 90%
of people make money on the net. To be in the domain name game you need a portfolio of over 1000 domain names. Then you hope the person types it in directly into the address bar then hopefully they click.
The best way is to find a niche. Make a blog with adsense on it. Get it into the search engines and blog directories. Write articles with your blog link at the bottom of the article and submit it to the blog directories.
Let’s say you do a blog about diabetes and Adsense pays 50 cents a click. If you get 400 people coming to your blog a day and half click on Adsense, that is 100 dollars a day from one blog. And, you can also sell text-links, advertising, and become an affiliate for diabetes products. So, if they click on your affiliate link and buy a product you get paid. This is how it’s done.
What I just gave you many others would have charged you to get. So, don’t ignore this advice.
