    Hi guys,

    Hope this is the right section

    Well the thing is that I want to buy few domains, which I later will develop into proper websites. For this, I need your professional suggestions regarding:

    - What should be the preferred domain extension (.com, .net or .org)?
    - In what niche/category should I should buy domains for?
    - For your recommended niche/category, what are the benefits?
    - As I would like to see the results fast (once the domains are developed), what would be the best (& expected) turnaround for the niches when it comes to earning?

    I look forward for your precious suggestions.

    Thanks,

    Ovais

    Extensions don't matter except country ones.
    Niche/category doesn't matter. You must focus on the domain quality.
    It takes at least 1 week to see something. Turnaround time is not predictable.
    You might also lose.

    - .com is most prefered, if your site is not about any Organization.

    - Category! What it is?

    - No such benefit.

    - Concentrate on quality build up first. Then bring thought of earning. To get revenue return is not a joke in web. You should be practical.

    Thanks both of you mates.

    I think I was not clear enough with my questions, so I am re-arranging it for your ease.

    I am planning to buy few domains and I will be developing these domains into sites; to get me few $$. So, what should be my approach in:

    - getting domain names
    - choosing a niche. I know there are few top niches with minor efforts and with big return, however, I am not "only" going to go for that. You can suggest few long-term and beneficial niches.
    - it would be great if you would tell me few benefits of the niche you suggest.
    - I know results aren't predictable; but you are welcome to make close guess.

    Hope I am clearer this time.

    Extension / TLD. dot com, org or dot net are well
    category is defend on domain name ( if you'll buy a domain with pr )
    if buy domain on godaddy or name.com etc it's defend on your website niche such as: home improvement, health, business etc

    Step 1: Prepare list of niches you can work on (write articles and love to do that ).

    Step 2: do a little research on each of those niches and see the competetion, thus you will also know the possible methods of making money in that niche. sort out which of that money making ideas you can work on, discard other ones.

    Step 3: now arrange the niches into best earning one.

    Step 4: Now is the time to search a good domain, you know your niche well so it will be easy, if your target is your country buy country TLD else prefer .com > .net

    Step: proceed with building the website.

    Thanks for the response @psharma. I see now things are "slightly" moving towards where I want them.

    The reason of this thread is "not" to get to know about what "I am good at" or what and where to register domains. The sole purpose of my post was to gain knowledge about:

    1. different niches where I can work (it can be anything as I have resources to get things done in any niche)
    2. niches that can bring me some smart income (I don't care if the income is fast or slow---but the niche should be competitive and fruitful)
    3. in accordance with the niche, what type of domain name should I buy (I am not talking about extensions here, I am talking about the type of domain like with nichekeyword.com or something like that)

    Hope to get some relevant replies.

    Hi. That depends on what type of website are you planning to put up to.

    .com - A .COM is essential for anyone looking to maintain an active presence on the Internet.
    .net - A .NET is essential for anyone involved in Internet infrastructure or related activities. Many businesses also register their .NET just to keep competitors from encroaching on their brands.
    .org - .ORG conveys credibility. It is the home of groups that people turn to for trusted information, guidance and support. .ORG Web sites are known for containing valuable information and for representing worthwhile causes. Having a site with the .ORG extension is best for online fund raising. The vast majority of Internet users associate "nonprofit" with .ORG Web sites.

    Good luck.

    Hello Ovais,

    You need to first sort it out what are you going to do after purchasing these domains. Domains really help you when google crawls your URL. Instead of buying 5 or 6 domains. Plan out things what you want to do. Stick to 1 or 2 domains only. Devote some time to them and then you can make some $$$ out of them....Thats for sure.


    :)

    I hope it helps.
