Hey Guys & Girls, ... I just joined this forum, as a matter of fact it's the first forum of any king I joined. Just purchased 3 domains - related to a german city, with a combined search volume of around 7,400,000 a month! => planing adsense, bidvertizer, hotel affiliates, or any other weight loss programs in german. The domains are an exact match for the top 10 search terms. My question is, what would a seasoned "ADSENSE" or any MMI Marketing professional advise on monetizing these top domains? I already have some idea, but I am obviously posting here because 2 to 345 brains is better than one! I am thinking '"Hotel Affiliates" and "German Language" Weight Loss - like 6 pack abs from Mike Geary! ... his stuff really converts well in German! One of the Few programs from clickbank ... Anyway I am an Aussie living in Thailand, YES making a full time living on-line with selling actual products, but this is the first time i decided to find some Gems in the "Adsense market" => "Keyword-specific" domains ... Any feedback would be welcome, especially case studies regarding Gogle in terms of clickthroughs.
First thing to do is take the names and put " " around them to see your actual search volume. Good names are rarely just laying around for purchase. Since you are a newbie at this I can see you mis-calculating search volume.
Thanx for a reply champ, U mean put a "BERLINXXXXXXXX" OR "BERLIN XXXXX" - WITH A SPACE? and check this in the Google keyword tool?
not really sure what you mean by "I Bought 3 domains with - 7,393,000 In Monthly Search volume." did you buy established sites generating that month visits per month or you just registered 3 new domains? if you just registered 3 new domains, then how do you calculate the monthly search volumes for your domains? monthly search volume is based on keywords or search terms, not by domains. even if you registered new domains with exact keywords in it, you still need to develop the sites and promote them before you get a single visitor. if you are just concerned about monetizing, then there are lots of ways to monetize a site. it however all depends on what kind of product or service you are promoting. some site will do well with affiliate program while others might do well with contextual advertising like adsense. for weight loss sites, ALWAYS use affiliate programs as they pay lot more than adsense or similar programs. CJ, LinkShare, Azoogle are few largest affiliate networks so you might wanna browse through the sites to see if you find more info. Azoogle also has lots of CPA offers so you can take a look at them as well.
Jesus with that amount of traffic you should deffo monetize them before the traffic drops, try a few things dont put all your eggs in one basket.
Hey Thanx for reply - "sultanofseo" & "viral blasts" Thanx for your response guys! ... Much appreciated! ... do a search in google keywords tool for "frankfurt" and see the top 10 searched terms below. I bought: MAINFRANKFURT.COM, FRANKFURTIN.COM, FRANKFURTTO.COM - Combined "search" traffic close to: 7,400,000 (sorry I am just getting started in this biz ... But common sense tells me this is on the right track. When it comes to SEO, we all know that "Exact-Keyword-Match" domain with a .COM is 75% of the deal ... Of course I will put up great genuine content, at least 10-15 pages, images - fully optimised and of course youtube links and get at least 200 back links done up within the next few weeks ... In case you wondering how big the: (XXX)FRANKFURT.COM name is? ... its search term is meant to be a search for "frankfurt" frankfurt.com naturally bought about 7 years ago - redirects to frankfurt.de, owned by the german government as purely an information portal, however it is heavily monetized - mainly with hotel affiliates, etc ... And that's what I am thinking too. I already have an account with bookings.com for my niche domains in Angola, Sudan, and a whole bunch of african countries where I bought up the cream 6 months ago. They convert ery well by the way. One domain I have for Angola converts one in every 56 first time visitors and the average profit from sale is around $6-12 per booking! ... And that's bloody africa! I am not greedy, just looking for an opinion and a way to draw a semi-conclusion with someone in a similar "competition-less" market about click throughs, etc ...
"SultanofSEO" ... Sorry If I rambled on up there but ... please look up "frankfurt" and see the results in whatever "frankfurt" or just 'frankfurt' - i see no difference, just over 6,000,000 searches a month ... Targeting the page views in English or German, is not a hassle, I am originally from Czech republic, so understanding local Euro Mentality or the reasoning behind those search terms makes sense to me. Maybe not to an american, but to me, it's - tip-top ... Anyway, I'm still rambling on It's the French Red wine! ... I swear!
if you have frankfurt.com, search "frankfurt" at google if you have frankfurtsomething.com search "frankfurt something" at google then, you get real search volume
