cbd brandables or keyword style? im leaning to keyword as brandables are harder to make up any decent one now and keyword types seem to be available to handreg but what will the market want? brandables is cool for drugs, trendy sites, new cbd products but keyword types for conservative sites, orgs, legal, farmers, growers etc etc
thoughts?
Some insights into your post.
Firstly
brandables are becoming EASIER not harder, as the world becomes less conservative and the older generation especially is more open to funky and rude brand names. I was looking on Brandbucket today and there's a wide variety in terms of quality, but the general structure of brands is consistent in each category. It just takes time to do all the checks.
CBD brandables are EASIER to register than keywords from the research I've done. There's lots of opportunities for branding, just add a y, an o, and io, an a, etc, or remove a letter. It's not that hard. But I ran a bulk keyword search + CBD (only in .com) and most of the good keyword domains are gone (although many have dropped from 2018 registrations see ExpiredDomains.net)-
HOWEVER - if you do your research on CBD and are getting the
LATEST news you can tap into a trend and that's where the keyword opportunities lie. How many CBD e-newsletters do you subscribe to? Are you getting daily Google News Alerts for CBD? Do you subscribe to any CBD channels on YouTube? Do you contribute in CBD forums? If this is your niche then have you been to any CBD events? It might sound far-fetched but there's so many people trying to nab CBD domains that you have to be
ahead of the game.
From the research I did yesterday there are many
CBD geo domains (including capital cities) that have dropped from 2018 - Madrid, Vienna, Geneva, others. Madrid has a metropolitan population of 6.5 million so that might be an opportunity for hand-reg. Have you searched the other capital cities - and done a Google Business search to see how many CBD shops each city has?
I don't play
Fortnite but I often read about it from a commercial perspective. Yesterday on Twitter I saw the asteroid strike video for the end of chapter 1. I immediately thought about domains, and chapter 2 and domains. Then bulk-searched fortnite1.com (taken), fortnite2.com (taken), fortnite3.com (taken)....
fortnite5.com (available). I didn't register it because of three reasons: 1. It's not my niche, 2. Trademark, 3. Only 9 sales listed on NameBio since fortnite.com sold for $71,500 in 2013.. But the key is you should always be looking ahead several if not more years.
