Tool searches for domain names with keywords that match your parameters.
Here’s an interesting tool to help you find unregistered domain names with competitive advertisers.
TailWords.com lets you search keywords based on a number of factors, from AdWords bid prices to keyword search volume.
But it also has a handy tool for domainers: the ability to show only keywords that have the corresponding .com domain name available (or .net/.org). Just plugin a keyword and the parameters (such as minimum bid price) and it returns a list of domains available to register.
There’s just one catch: most of the domains available to register aren’t in a logical order.
For example, here are some high paying keywords including the word “hotel” that are available as .com:
antoniohotelsan.com instead of SanAntonioHotel.com
hotellondonjobs.com instead of LondonHotelJobs.com
5hotelstar.com instead of 5StarHotel.com
Still, the tool may prove useful for less competitive keywords.
A. Mitchell says
In researching relationships between mid-tail search keywords and type-in traffic, I’ve found remarkably low correlations. Research found unsustainably low rates of traffic to justify corresponding direct-search attempts or even domain renewals—especially for longer keyword strings where conversions hinge on a geographic component. ‘Southeast Asian restaurant’ received over 50,000 queries per month on Yahoo at a time when eight or less type-in visits per month were recorded for the corresponding .com.
Unless the searcher specifies otherwise, Google search commonly fills in missing geographic components by factoring the searcher’s IP-address-location into search results. Internet users in Austin who type ‘Southeast Asian restaurant’ into their browser search bars will not be disappointed with their results, which will be highly geo-aware, even if the syntax is altered.
In a search context, garbled syntax is often just as likely to yield satisfactory search results (for consumers) as more conventional syntax arrangements.
Southeast Asian Austin restaurant may generate search results that are just as acceptable as other, more conventional keyword combinations that do not have the word ‘Austin’ included.
However, in a direct search campaign, multiple variants of the same keyword string would be needed to capture a small fraction of the traffic to the corresponding search-results pages.
Setting a minimum threshold of organic-search queries per month (as with the >50k per month for Southeast Asian Restaurant) is no guarantee that any of that search volume will translate into direct-search traffic.
