Exact Match Domains I Would Buy

So a while back, "exact match" domains or EMDs were really popular. This means that your domain name is a specific keyword. For example your domain might be loseweightbeforemywedding(.)com as opposed to skinnybride(.)com which would be a "brand".

But then Google changed their algorithm, and took away a lot of their power: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/kyle/blog/exact-ma...

That doesn't mean it took away ALL their power though. If you create a website with really good content, in MY experience, EMDs can still rank really well for their keyword. I've seen this with other domains, and I've seen it with my own websites.

Jay also proved this with his Football Snack Helmet website which he built and ranked LIVE: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/wa-live-n... (Video 1...there are 4 total)


I do a lot of keyword research for my bootcamp site, and for other projects I have going on. Sometimes I come across juicy keyword domains that I wish I had time to buy and work on. So rather than horde them all (I do buy some), I wanted to share them with you! This is a list I've collected over the past few months.

Domains (Searches/QSR)

.COM

.ORG

Update: Jay brought up a good point that the keyword is also in BOLD when it appears in search, so if you appear anywhere on page 1, you'll have an added advantage of attracting more clicks since you'll grab more attention with bold text.

Hi Nathaniell,

That is super nice of you to do!!

Thanks for all your training - I learn a lot from you and you're so good at teaching this stuff!

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Anna

Great list of ideas there Nathaniell :)

Hi Nathaniell, great post. Irv.

This is VERY kind of you! Thank you!

Well played sir.. well played.

I totally agree with this as if you search something within Google and the domain has the keyword inside it, the word will be bolded. If it wasn't a big deal, then why does Google do this?

EXACTLY! And thanks for the screenshot proof of how the snack helmet site is doing :) And I totally forgot about the bolding thing. Even if you're not ranked #1, it still has an advantage to have the keyword in it.

Nice post. Thanks for sharing these!

Wonderful info, thanks Nathaniell

Thanks for the tips Nathaniell! I am curious as to how you came up with toilet training for cats. ;))

because it is a rather hot topic in searches. I have seen also the cat toilet training guides for sale through clickbank. But I do totally disagree with the concept of teaching a cat to use a toilet designed for humans, for numerous of reasons. I got my niche on cats so I know a great deal about this.

Of course, I could buy the domain just to divert the traffic to teach about why not to do so.. or I could make that type of clickbank traffic and make a lot of money. But it doesn't feel right for me to make money on something I totally disagree upon.

youtube is btw also full of this type of info.

Steven

Great advice thanks.

Awesome! Glad you saw one you liked :)
