Anybody know forex?

I picked up Forex-Basics.org, not to resell, but to develop. I thought I could learn about forex and make a little money while doing so. But, after looking at the massive SEO campaigns on the first page of the keyword, I'm not so sure.

Has anyone has any luck getting traffic and clicks based on a decent forex domain and some SEO? The payouts are big, so it wouldn't have to be a whole lot.

Deciding whether to jump in or refund the name.

In my opinion - content is king! I'm also interested in Forex&Fund market and it does not make sense for me the name of site and there site is located (.com, .ws, .cc and etc.)
Forex-Basics.org not bad name and if your project will be smart - people will go on it.

I picked up forexnews.a with a ranking of 4 million by alexa. So It has about 100 unique visitors a month I think. The original owner made the whole site an rss feed with google ads.

I used that to redirect traffic to my its.a site.
Not sure if that will deteriorate google ranking with my its.a site.

Maybe I should develop it if the payout is big as you say. even though its .asia
undeveloped gets 100 unique a month is not bad.

Well, one of the competitors for the keyword has over 400,000 backlinks, so I got spooked.

But, now I'm thinking - if i can find a perspective that doesn't go head-on with the big sites...

It's very difficult to get a forex site to rank well, so much competition. If you do not know much about forex what can you do to gain edge over other sites that offer free news, quotes, trading recommendations and so on?

I am wondering for all those that advertise on google. Is it that relevant. Because everyone is making adsense pages.

FYI: The biggest communities are advfn, Trade2Win, etc. and you might want to look at attracting customers of brokers like BetOnMarkets.com, TradeFair, etc. by offering them tailored information and services. I used to work for a brokerage and I can tell you the small fish mostly all lose (a lot), and if they do manage to profit then it's only short-term luck, and they always lose it again anyway.. they have absolutely no risk management. The only people who can profit are the big institutions - they're the ones who move the markets (we even caught an insider dealer once). So anyway, my advice is don't trade yourself.. the "gurus" make all their money from selling information to their gullible followers, and waste a tiny fraction of their revenues on trades (if they trade at all).

That's pretty depressing news. I like to think that I learned risk management in poker, but real-life can play with the emotions.

I'd have serious trouble putting effort into something I don't touch myself.

Well, two days to opt for that refund yet...

Its true. Those who are risk takers should not play stocks. Why? because they risk too much and it goes kabloom flowers.

That's what happened to many people. Stocks over nights losses up to 50% of value the most extreme case is 90% over night. And during day trading it could lose up to 30% of its value. Very volatile.

New to day trading people will leave it for an hour or two, each hour stock goes down 5%...very heartening. Not for the faint of heart.

You could have a heart attack and feel very depress trading stocks.
