Finding Great Domain Names With Google Keyword Tool
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Everyone is abuzz with the recent news that the Google Adwords Tool was now displaying numbers instead of the graphs that didn’t really provide any useful information at all - other than, the keyword was getting some traffic.
Here is just one great use for the tool - finding great, keyword rich domain names.
I have used this process to find domain names before Google provided real numbers, now this technique is more relevant than ever.
1. Go to the Keyword Tool , and type in one or two words about your niche, words you want in your domain.
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the page after the tool has loaded the keywords.
3. Click on “text” by Download all keywords: This will allow you to open notepad and it will contain the keywords.
4. Goto Godaddy.com - Goto Domains -> Bulk Register
5. Copy and paste the keywords in the notepad file into the box. Notice there is a 500 name limit.
6. I suggest you only select .com names
7. Enter the captcha numbers, click Go and watch it work.
Most keywords will already have a domain registered. Scroll down to find those keywords that don’t have a domain registered yet.
I then copy the domains that are available form the bottom box and paste them into another notepad file.
I then scroll through the names looking for the best domain names.
Now, I will then take my top domain names and go back to the Google Keyword tool and look at the numbers. I look at the estimated traffic and the competition.
If I think the traffic numbers are good, and the competition is reasonable, I will keep the keyword/domain on my list.
When I have narrowed my list down, I then do an exact search in Google, using quotes - example “fly fishing”.
I look to see how many pages I will be competing with, I like to keep this less than 30K. I look to see if there are Adwords ads.
If there are no Adwords ads, the keyword probably does not pay - unless you have found a gold mine keyword, but that doesn’t happen much these days.
I also like to look at some of the top listings, to see if they are taking advantage of social marketing (have been stumbled).
If they are not taking advantage of social marketing, you may be able to work your way into the top 10 since you have the keyword in your domain and you will take advantage of social marketing.
I also like to look at the top 5 or so listed websites to see if they are taking advantage of on page SEO.
If I think I have a shot in the top 10, I will keep the domain on my list.
I will then take what I think will be the best domain, buy it and point it to my web host.
Now I have to write some content related to my domain keyword, and put it on my site, and apply some social marketing love to the content.
After this is done, I look for some affiliate programs to plug into the site. If you can’t find an affiliate program related to your niche, you can always use Google Adsense.
This all takes a while, but if you get a good keyword, that gets a fair amount of traffic, with good content, and the keyword is in your domain, you stand a good chance of making money.
The worst that will happen is you’ll have spent $10, and worked a few hours for no return.
But, all is still not lost. People are always looking for good content websites, especially with good domain names.
If nothing else you can probably sell the site and make a little bit of profit.
So, give this system a try. It’s helped me find some great domain names.
By the way, I have a few domain names for sale, and established websites for sale. I just don’t have enough time to give them all the attention they need. You just might find yourself a gold mine there!

Well, very interesting but what is the ROI? I mean, you would have spent a lot of time for each domain to put some valuable content on it. Do you really get good traffic afterwards? I don’t think it is so easy. You need to get a lot of backlinks to get a bit of traffic…
There would be enourmous SEO benefit to this if you had a heap of sites that were all linked to the ‘mother-ship’ site.
@Oliver, the trick is to make money from the sites so that they are paying for themselves. The trick to this is to not rely on AdSense only.
Amanda, good points.
Oliver, you’re right it does take work. I look for domains for this method after I have found a promising niche, then a promising keyword.
Then as you state - you have to create good content for the site, and get traffic to the site.
This post is just really about finding the domain piece.
If you want more info on finding the right niche and keywords, I suggest you give the free 30 Day Challenge a look.

The keyword tool is an excellent tool for many purposes — including backlinking and viral marketing. I came up with the domain of my blog not with this system, but by cracking my brain and Se0 knowledge. I’ll use this system for my next domain search. Thanks.

These days not only amateur webmasters are doing internet marketing but also young grad students are promoting their less professional sites as their practice and projects.
