Exact Match Domain Names
Leverage power means great opportunities for online companies. While this concept might seem a little bit confusing at first, let me explain that you are not going to leverage any stock options, but rather you are going to exert some leveraging muscle involving exact match domains.
Exact match domain names are the absolute perfect method for boosting your search engine rankings, but you better move fast because I am not the only internet entrepreneur who knows how to employ this marketing strategy.
In many cases, you can easily get high (top 5) search engine ranking with exact match domains, and you do not have to work around the clock to achieve this goal. If you thought that the #1 slot on Google or Yahoo was out of your reach then you definitely need to give this domain technique a closer look.
What Are Exact Match Domains? (Explained)
You need to understand what these type of domains are before you can incorporate them into your internet revenue game plan. When you have an ‘exact match domain’ it means that the name of your new domain ‘exactly’ matches the keyword or key phrase you are trying to gain supremacy over.
The moniker may not make a lot of sense if the key phrase you are exploiting is a strange one to begin with. However this does not matter, just make sure that the name is identical to the keyword/key phrase that you have targeted.
Reaping The Rewards (Quick Payoff)
You can try using keywords that attract high volumes of traffic and as your ranking begins to climb you can literally watch the money fly into your bank account. We have witnessed exceptionally high ranking from search engines in just a few weeks, which means more money in your pocket, not to mention some ‘sick’ bragging rights for the website owner (You)! But lets not get ahead of ourselves here, there is more to learn before we earn…
Matching SEO Strategy (Cherry On Top)
By choosing the appropriate name for your domain you are already getting a jump-start on your marketing plan. The online SEO you utilize should target the same keyword/phrase, and the domain name will then work hand in hand with your SEO strategies. This will cue the search engines that you have a truly legitimate domain posted and this may be all that is needed to put the ranking machinery into motion.
In other words you find that ‘blue sheep’ is a desirable keyword. You use your SEO strategies to target ‘blue sheep’ as your niche market. You will also be creating an exact match domain for ‘bluesheep.com’. And Presto!
Corporate Utilization (Everyone’s Doing It!)
Consider this little fact. According to the search engine rankings an elite online credit card site is actually a domain that matches the keywords ‘credit cards’. This site beats out American Express, Citibank and other top spenders simply by being clever enough to capitalize on an exact match domain name.
There are numerous other examples of the power of these exact match domains, and you have probably seen a few in action yourself.
Targeting Keywords And Niches (Basic Steps)
The first thing you need to do is find the best keywords to use. There are plenty of online tools that can point you in the direction of top keywords. But keep in mind, by targeting less popular ‘niche keywords’ you can capitalize on this endeavor even quicker.
You might want to concentrate on an exact match domain/niche that is pulling in a minimum of 1000-3000 online searches each month. This is the least amount of searches that will make your efforts pay off.
Don’t worry if you can’t get an exact match in the ‘dot com’ universe because dot net or dot org are still going to be good options.
Exact Match Link Building (Extra Bonus)
Not only are ‘exact match domains’ great for getting high placement in the search engines, they are also an excellent method for gaining back links to your ‘main’ websites. Simply use your exact match domains for list-building and as a link for your affiliated websites. This two edged sword is perfect for implementing some quality link building.
Campaigns to generate and build links will pay off big time. These are the links that will pull the traffic into your main website. In other words exact match domains are the honey you are going to use to lure the bees to your hive.
Absolutely right, exact-match domains are best used when targeting niche categories. A least its worked that way for me.
And if you can find an “unsaturated” niche, its even more valuable. *back to brain storming*
