Before we list some more top picks lets look at some of the key elements which bring value to a name.
Exact search is one of the most important elements for valuating a domain name for investment since the number of exact search is something you can (a) develop around (b) sell an end user on and (c) optimize parking for. Without exact search many times a domain is limited to the branding power of it but with exact search you basically have a domain that just needs a little TLC to turn into a thriving destination online.
Another factor is competition. First you have to measure the industry and see what kind of competition is around for ranking on the first couple pages of search engines like Google but even 15 years into this thing called the Internet (which your grandmother probably still thinks is fake) many of the top categories, products and sectors online have much less competition than you think.
The third factor is the use of the .com. Anyone vested in SEO and development will agree the .com is the most favorable of extensions at the moment and the foreseeable future however if the .com is undeveloped your odds of excelling straight to the top of the search results with a .net or .org are really good using the right SEO techniques.
ALL of our top picks in this round include domains where the other main extensions are used in such a way that most likely have little or no relevance on your ability to outrank them in the search engines considering their present form of use.
#1 DogBowls.net
22,000 + exact search and a 2003 reg makes this business in a box domain ripe for opportunity at $1,500. Whether its selling custom dog bowls online or hooking up with many of the generous pet product affiliate programs you could have an authoritative web presence for less than the cost of most purebreds.
Other extensions
Dogbowls.com – Parked page at HitFarm.
Dogbowls.org – DomainSponsor parking page
#2 CreditFraud.org
CreditFraud.org is one of those incredible domains in our opinion for development around credit repair programs, a database of lawyers specializing in credit repair or even a blog with content about preventing identity theft. It is also our opinion that the .org extension is the natural fit here if you can’t get the .com and with 4,400 exact search a month and a 2003 reg – data like this already provides the basis you need for serious optimization in such a lucrative industry as credit online.
Other Extensions
Creditfraud.com – looks like a yellow page ad, little or no optimization
Creditfraud.net … parked page
#3 FloorPlans.net
74,000 exact searches a month and owners of the .com and .org would rather just let a domain park. We could say unbelievable but this is far from the only case of great names wasted on parking pages. A 1999 reg and 74,000 exact – one of the best combinations to start your business online. Home Plans and Floor Plans are quite a high end product with generous commission levels though affiliate programs or you could derive instant authority and show the world your custom home designs online. At $2,500 its cheaper than many custom floor plans yet you own this for life.
Other Extensions
FloorPlans.com – parked
FloorPlans.org – parked
# 4 ThankYouBaskets.com
Thankyoubaskets.com has a 2004 reg and should be an easy site to get ranked for all kinds of gift baskets if you have an SEO guru with skills. We could say that almost everyone will order a thank you gift basket at some point in their life but simply do not have the time to find any verifiable data – however this doesn’t seem like a crazy theory now does it?
Other Extensions
thankyoubaskets.net and .org – you guessed it .. parked and parked
# 5 TattooInks.net
Unique field for sure but tattoo supply companies understand the profit in selling tattoo inks online and with 8,100 exact searches for $500 you could join this elite group of body artists!
Other Extensions
As you guessed – both .com and .org are parked
#6 CoffeeGrinders.net
Why people waste such great .com names on forwarding we will never understand. CoffeeGrinders.com is nothing more than a URL redirect to GourmetCoffee.com so the window is even open wider for you to excel in SERP rankings with such a great .net having a massive 135,000 exact match last month. A 2002 reg and a reserve of $2,000 – well that’s less than some gourmet coffee grinders.
#6 CancerMedication.com
Sadly, many of us will be touched by Cancer in our life. Whether it is a family member, friend or even personally the search for cancer medication, treatments and information will consume you some day as it does many others every day. Priced at $500 with a 1999 reg this could possibly become one of the greatest sites to reach out, inform and provide people with the information needed to cope with such a life event.
#7 Drumsets.org
Remember when you were a kid and dreamed of being the next Tommy Lee. Do not disagree – every teenage boy wanted to be rock star even just for a fleeting moment and drum sets are expensive. Owning this domain however will give you a start to reach many of the worlds rock star dreamers of today since the exact match search for the keyword “drum sets” is an extraordinary 74,000 with a 2005 reg and (drumroll please) only a reserve of $250.
Other Extensions
What about drumsets.com and drumsets.net? We will let you guess … our money is on parked.
