3 Word Domains
October 22nd, 2009 by KenricI talked about me picking up a bunch of 3 word domains last week. Well last week I picked up 2 very good ones. They are basically: short descriptor + main keyword(s).com. Example time, if your keyword was cell phones, they would be redcellphone.com and redcellphones.com.
I put a single page site up on both of these URLs on Saturday night. On these pages I put up a cheesy landing page ad like the one below. I added a stock graphic and a big obnoxious CLICK HERE TO BUY button. The button linked to my ebiz stores on the exact product ie. red cellphones.
I got them indexed on Sunday and they showed up on Google on the 10th page for their domain name keyword. They had no traffic on Day 1. Monday they both showed up on page 1 in Google. Yesterday one is ranked #3 and the other is at #7. Both had decent traffic and much of the traffic passed through and into my store. I checked my analytics and the pages made two sales already. Success already.
But guess what is even better? I am taking up the #3 position for the keyword which means a competitor of mine has been pushed onto page 2. Better yet, if you search for red cell phones the top 3 positions are taken up by my sites. I have 30% of the results for red cellphones. That’s even better than ranking just #1 for it. I have other sites gaining on this term and will probably get 5 out of 10 on page 1.
What I was taught in my SEO class was that getting your one money site to #1 on google isn’t enough, you want all 10 spots if possible. But you can’t do that with one site, you must make others.
For anyone who didn’t get it, I used red cellphones as an example. No I do not rank 1-3 for red cellphones.

This is cool! Now do you use the exact same page for every new site? Do you vary them?

Do you need to host each domain on a different site? The webhost I use has “addon domains,” but I think this just redirects to a subdirectory within my primary domain. Is this efficient for SEO, or would you suggest separate hosting accounts for each URL?

Your hosting account should allow for multiple domains. Going into a subdirectory is fine, you don’t need a separately account for each domain. It would get too expensive.

What do you mean by: “Your hosting account should allow for multiple domains”
I have hosting account with godaddy to host one website domain.
Are you saying that I can add newly purchased domains to this same hosting account and don’t have to pay extra for newly added domain?
Do you have any online instructions for any hosting provider?

Thanks Ken. I spent about $70 bucks last night grabbing up three word domains for my niche.

Hi Shawn,
Let me know if they make at least $70 a year total. Shouldn’t be hard if your domains are good.
