Keywords and Domain Names: What They Have in Common  

Reselling domain names can be a highly lucrative business, as long as you understand it. Buying a bunch of domains without doing any research and hoping they will sell is a sure-fire way of losing your investment and abandoning your new venture. As with any business, you really need to understand how domain speculation works before you jump in feet first.

As you can imagine, one of the most critical aspects of domain reselling is choosing the right domain name. In domain speculation, domains are your products.

And since one of the most important principles of SEO is to have your main keyword in your URL, this opens up a host of opportunities for you.

Using the various free keyword research tools available online, you can look for keywords that have a lot searches but low competition. Generally, it’s a good idea to target product categories as these types of searches indicate that people are close to buying. IN other words, these are the types of keywords internet marketers will be targeting and if you can find a few terms with low competition and register these domains as TLDs, you will not have a hard time making a profit.

If you have no idea where to come up with ideas, then you’ll be glad to know that nothing is easier. All you have to do is visit sites like Amazon or EBay as they give you all the statistics you need. Pick the most popular products and get started. If you want to maximize your profits, consider starting with high-end, expensive products as they offer higher commissions, meaning that you will likely be able to get more money for the domain names in question.

However, it is recommended that you check before registering a domain name to ensure you aren’t infringing on a company’s trademark.
