Research Finds Niche Domains Even In Competitive Markets
I work at home and today I am having success but I didn’t happen immediately as I entered niches for the money and not because of my knowledge level. I would say you should go into a niche you like and know about. Although I could also say that it’s risky going into a niche, just because you like the niche. Did that mess with your head a bit?
The Thing Is Niches Today Are Competitive
The thing is thousands of marketers like myself have been promoting profitable niches for years. Thousands of us marketers work these niches using money making keywords so of course the competition will be stiff.
If you happen to be new at marketing or stepping into a new niche this means you need to do some good keyword research before you begin. Finding the keywords you can rank for gives you a chance to break into a niche and over time you can even rank for top keywords, like I do.
For Any Success Today Niche Research To Find Keywords Is Vital
Don’t even think about buying a domain until you’re research is complete. Today I do not enter a niche without a domain name I researched that will help me rank better.
Okay, so you do a search in Google looking for info on home gardening and see the three domains listed, which ones give you confidence to click and think about why you would click it.
backyardgardeningtips.com or homegardeningtips.com or hbb2obm.com
When I’m viewing search results in Google or any search engine I of course look at the description as well but right now it’s just about the domain names you see in listing. Personally I will always click the domain name that is niche targeted as they appear to be more authoritative.
Don’t settle for less than a keyworded domain name. Before you take off and buy that domain that’s been on your mind, there’s a bit more to go here.
I Always Think DOT COM For Domain Extensions
Thinking DOT COM is an automatic thing after hearing it for more than a decade. It’s tough not to think DOT COM these days because we hear it day in and day out. I tell all my clients and friends to go for DOT COM domain about all others.
Do to the fact we have so many DOT COM domains that are already keyworded you will find it tougher to find ones you can use. I have had a bit of experience in finding keyword rich domains and have learned a few tricks that can help you get that domain.
- Try using an extra word, niche related, to your domain name choice. This is a suffix and works for me.
- Couldn’t get your keyword with any suffix you’ve tried then try a prefix using a single word at the beginning.
- Add a hyphen or two if the other options haven’t worked.
- Using your city or town is a great way to get keyworded domains using a suffix.
Finding domains with your best keywords can take some time but research is your best tool and it works for me. I use a couple of paid tools for this which help me every day. Keyword Elite is a niche research tool that saves me time I can then spend working my sites. I also use Micro Niche Finder to find profitable niches but this tool helps me find those hard to find domains.
