A Few Domain Goals For 2010

Cedrick Reese — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 18:24:26 +0000

Another year has gone by and I have learned a lot about domaining compared to what I knew in 2008. The one thing that stood out to me the most is development. Develop for the people and not for the spiders!

So a few of my goals for 2010 are:

Cut back on buying domains and spend more time developing the ones that I have.
Continue clearing my current portfolio of those crappy domain names that I registered in hopes that this one domain was the one that was going to make me thousands by flipping it to an end-user.
Develop at least 5 of my domains into complete sites instead of mini-sites with a minimum of at least 50 unique articles.
Earn at least $20 per day from each domain that I fully develop.

Hope you accomplish all of your goals for 2010!Similar Posts:

HandRegistering New Domains

Cedrick Reese — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 08:24:47 +0000

This post will be a short one. I just wanted to let people know that there are still good domains out there available to register.

This week I have managed to register three new domains. They are;

LowTestosteroneTreatment.com – Google keyword tool show a search volume of over 2,000 exact searches the month of September with a CPC of $2.29. This site will be about anything related to testosterone. Low testosterone can affect your sex drive, sleep amongst other things.

MediterraneanMonkSeal.com – Google shows a exact search of 1,300 for the month of September with a CPC of $.51.

AfricanSpurredTortoise.com – Google show an exact search of 1,900 for the month of Septmeber with a CPC of $.65.

PoodleHybrids.com –There is not a very high search for this term. The reason I chose to register this domain was because I felt that it would make a great site dedicated to poodle hybrids. Looking at google’s keyword tool, there are a lot of people searching for poodle hybrids. Such as CockaPoo, GoldenDoodle, and LabraDoodle.

So that’s it. Just goes to show that with a little research, you can find domains to register that can one day be worth a great deal of money in the future.Similar Posts:

Newly Registered Insurance Domains

Cedrick Reese — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:08:00 +0000

Over the last two days I have managed to hand-register more insurance domains. These will fit nicely with the ones that I registered last month. They will all be launched under InsuranceClique.com, which was also registered yesterday, from here you will be able to every insurance domain within my portfolio.

These domains include;

What I like the most about these domains is that they each contain the targeted keywords and should rank well once they are developed. For now these domains have been parked at WhyPark.com, so they may get indexed within the search engines.

Now I will enlist a designer from DigitalPoint.com to design a set of logos with matching headers for these domains.Similar Posts:

Product Domains Registered

Cedrick Reese — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 13:34:23 +0000

I have always wanted to have an eCommerce store or an affiliate product store. So lately I have been surfing the internet to see what domains people have registered in order to launch their online business. For a lot of them they have purchased domains that contains the targeted keyword and ends in Depot, Store, Shop, etc…

So I went to google’s keyword tool and selected exact phrase search and registered the following domains;

VacuumCleanersInc.com - Vacuum Cleaners has an exact search of 368,000 for Sept.
PressureWashersInc.com – Pressure washers had an exact search of 90,500 for Sept.
SteamCleanersOutlet.com – Steam Cleaners had 135,000 exact searches.
BarcodeScannersInc.com – Barcode Scanners had 165,000 exact searches and
CheapGinseng.com – Ginseng had only 60,500 exact searches.

Now don’t let the Inc fool you. We are not Incorporated. I just used the Inc in order to register a keyword domain. With proper link building and SEO these domains should rank well for their targeted keywords.Similar Posts:

My New WP Minisite Theme

Cedrick Reese — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 14:00:38 +0000

I have finally received my new wordpress theme for my mini sites. This theme was created just for use on any mini site that I develop using wordpress. You can see what it looks like below. It is currently being used at PrenatalVitamins.us which I launched on the 28th of Sept..

I would like to know what you think about the design. This design will be unique to my mini sites only.Similar Posts:

Getting Into The Insurance Niche

Cedrick Reese — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 08:35:57 +0000

Today I managed to register a few domains within the Insurance Niche. This is a niche that I have always wanted to get into but could never find any good domains to register. So I sat there thinking and thinking what would make a great suffix to add. While I was looking through my thesaurus I came across inquiry. Inquiry – a seeking or request for truth, information, or knowledge.

I combined this with insurance related names and registered;

For each domain the targeted keyword receives at least 150,000 searches per month. CPC range is between $4.96 and $32.76.

These will not be mini sites with just 10-20 articles. For now they are parked at WhyPark.com so that they can get indexed into the search engines.Similar Posts:

Where Have I Been

Cedrick Reese — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 06:03:15 +0000

Man it has been forever since I have blogged here. Over the past few months I have been buying domain names, so far about 100 or so, all in various tlds.

Some of the domains that I have registered include;

•   EncryptionSecuritySoftware.com
•   CollectableActionFigures.com
•   ConsumerBasedReviews.com
•   HandMadePersianRug.com
•   ComputerForensicScience.com
•   StudentFirstLoans.com
•   ResidentialWineCellars.com
•   CollagenFaceCreams.com
•   WifiNetworkSecurity.com
•   AutoFinanceCorporation.com
•   ColonialHomeDecor.com
•   PersonalFinancialSpecialist.com

Not the best according to Google’s Keyword Tool, but a few of them are have already been indexed by the search engines and appear on the first page of google for their targeted keywords. Not bad for an amateur domainer huh?

Parking Companies – I have also managed to park some of my domains at WhyPark and Trafficz. So far I have made $20.00 with WhyPark, the amount of money made has shown an increase over the past month. This is only my second month with them and I have made more money with them that all the other parking companies combined. As far as Trafficz is concereded, they denied my first application for acceptance, but once I registered better domains and submitted them, I had no problem getting accepted into their parking program.

Other than that I have been studying up on my main passion, Real Estate. In a few months I will be back in the United States to persue my love of Real Estate. Can’t wait, the shorter my time gets the longer it seems. That’s okay though. They say patience is a virtue and according to my wife I have a lot.Similar Posts:

Developing My First Online Community Forum

Cedrick Reese — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 13:10:32 +0000

I am one of those guys that’s very passionate about real estate. Unfortunately my job has taken me and my wife overseas. For those like me trying to invest in real estate can be very difficult from abroad, but that is not what this post is about. This post is about my latest project. The project is the development of an online real estate community.

This will be an online community forum dedicated to investing in real estate both residential and commercial. Maybe I will add a category for those who are looking for information and interested in investing overseas, will see how much interest there is first.

Two days ago I registered the following domain names, after visiting the forum at CrowdGather.com, RealEstateInvestorsMeet.com, RealEstatesInvestorsTalk.com and RealEstateInvestorsHq.com plus the Property Investors version of the domain names. CrowdGather.com is an online business dedicated to building online communities.

To help me determine which domain gets developed I will do keyword research for the domains utilizing the keyword in each. For development I am researching vBulletin and Phpbb to see which offers more hacks and themes. So far it seems as though vBulletin offers more of each plus I have some unique themes on my hard drive that can be coded for vBulletin.

For monetization I will be adding adsense and hopefully I can find a hack that works similar to the OIO Publisher plugin for wordpress.Similar Posts:
