I picked up an amazing domain
- ryankettposted 13 years ago
0Today I picked up the domain www. quotationsquotes.com
Don't bother visiting it, its not developed in the slightest.
The CPC is very very low. But if anybody wants to search 'quotations quotes' in the google keyword tool... you may see why I am so excited
Thats going to be my new little project once I can come up with a decent template which disguises the fact that it is hosted by blogger. I'm aiming for a top 50,000 Alexa ranking!
The intention is to drive traffic to Amazon through capsules and to Hubpages through blog posts, if I achieve decent traffic I am also going to set up an aStore selling quote books etc. I actually get decent traffic on my hubpages quote hubs, very little by way of AdSense or Amazon revenue, but that is a bridge that I will cross when I come to it.
For those who don't want to bother heading over to the Google Keyword Tool, it gets an estimated 550,000 global monthly searches. I will probably need hundreds of strong backlinks to achieve first page status, but I'm game. I have of course reserved all very similar hubpage URLS!
Do you like the domain?Hey Ryan,
I don't want to rain on your parade or anything, but - you might want to narrow that down to "exact" instead of "broad."
Left hand side, underneath "Match types".
And your top competition (first five) are all PR6 or PR 7 .
First result has in excess of 300,000 incoming links and 170,000 indexed pages. I wouldn't waste my time going after this. You might be able to rank - but it is not going to be easy. Current experience tells me you need at least first 3 to get decent traffic.
I would absolutely not waste my time until I had already decided on realistic monetization either. I have made that mistake before.Lol, no that does not rain on my parade, or piss on my bonfire, or any other phrase you may wish to use....
In fact that opens up a LOT of doors for me. I never knew that you could change from broad to exact. Spending $10 to find that out will be the best $10 that I have ever spentIn that case - my pleasure. Made the same mistake myself. When that 500k turns into 700 instead........ And Nelle is giving good advice also.
I do not. But, then again, I don't go searching for quotes or even quotations quotes.
Ryan, you're always on top of things. I have no doubt that you will achieve this in an amazing short period of time. I bow to you, Guru!!! Congrats on the beginnings of realizing your dreams!
I put the chances of success at around 25%. That is based upon only 1 of my existing 4 developed domains making any money at all
But you have to speculate to accumulate
I actually do search for quotes, particularly when I'm stuck trying to get through an article's introduction, so I'm sure I'll be a frequent visitor once it's up and running.
I would bet navigating your site is going to be tricky if you try to do it just with categories. I just posted on another thread about a pretty good Blogger template I just started working with that has a pretty in-depth navigation system. The template name is Revelation-Church, I think. Let me know if you want to see it on a live blog. You seriously wouldn't know it's Blogger. I also like Arthemia and Zinmag-Primus, but both of those are magazine-style layouts.I have bookmarked this thread, and will no doubt ask to see that very soon
I am interested in seeing whatever it is that anybody has to make Blogger more user-friendly. I bought the domain through blogger, silly me... that means I can't go back now.Feel free to show me the blog by posting it here
If your ready for that sort of exposure of course! Otherwise, I will email you. You now have me intrigued!Irohner, I am currently looking at a demo of Revelation-Church, and I really like it.
I really have to go to bed, so I will drop you a line tomorrow
I wouldn't want to use it if it puts you out though, you must feel like this template is now 'yours'.
I take it that its easy enough to set up? Anyway, many thanks for that, I think that its a 'go-er' if you are happy for me to use it.
Speak soon, zzzzzzzzzz
Well thats the hope, but it seems that people really do search for terms including both of the words 'quotations quotes'
I have just installed analytics, I hope that have a few posts up within the next week or two, time will tell!
$10 isn't a great deal to lose if it all goes horribly pear shaped
I am also prone to believing that my domains are great, and later realising that they are rubbish...

Blogger uses enom for domains. Hopefully, your log in details are the same should you ever choose to transfer.
If you create the site at blogger and you want to transfer the content, you can simple "export" a backup - Then import the backup right into a new wordpress install.
I would have trouble figuring out how to monetize such a site, but I dont have direct experience with quote searchers.
I just expect that its a "free" traffic crowd.
I would look for affiliate programs that are pay per impression or consider using timed interstitial ads - keep in mind, these networks would require that your site is self hosted.
theres nothing worse than successfully creating a "traffic monster" and then realizing its difficult to monetize, I know this from sad experienceI love it when you find the perfect domain, good luck mate!
Remember to sign up to my site soon, get some promotion underway
I am expecting a pretty big PR jump when it comes to the Google update!- Nelle Hoxieposted 13 years ago0
Thats great Ryan. I bought one recently too. iworkathometips.com
But still cannot find time to do anything further
Best Regards
