Hi Guys,
Been a lurker for quite some time and registered today! So, helloo!
Learning the tools and tricks of the domain/website flipping business I finally went out and bought my first domain name.
perinealmassage dot net
Do you guy's think it's worth anything? According to Google keywords it gets 21k searches a month.
Thanks allot
This is a niche exact match keyword domain. They were huge a few years ago at the apex of minisites, but they've bombed now with the death of minisites. Google has made a few changes to their search algorithms in the last couple years in order to kill all those minisites that were flooding the internet, so it's now quite difficult to build a small site and have it show up anywhere high on the serps. Can still be done successfully by those with the know, but it's more difficult than it used to be. Also the economy crash of a few years ago helped kill EMD's (exact match domains) even more, since EMD's are used to create minisites, and minisites are created to place ads on (like Adsense), and the economy crash hurt so many businesses that Adwords saw both a decline in advertisers, and a lowering of advertisers' budgets. Most domainers/developers saw their parking and Adsense income plumment to around 25% or lower of what it used to be.
Also, surfers have now been around for enough years that they are wise to ads, and bored/annoyed by them, and people simply don't click on ads in the same numbers any more. Exact match domains, in niches, have much smaller value these days even in dot.com and even if they are really stellar to build a site or store with, or they receive natural type-in traffic. And in other extensions like dot.net they are practically valueless. I daily find many dot.nets available, where the dot.com's are terms that receive tens of thousands of monthly searches.
I'm showing 'perineal massage' as having 9900 monthly searches in the google keyword planner (the successor to the keyword tool). I wouldn't have even bought the dot.com myself. I still have dot.com's I bought or regged back while minisites were still making decent money, that I haven't developed because now there's no point. For example I just renewed MedusaPiercing dot com, even though I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe nostalgia, ha. It gets 18,100 monthly searches according to the planner. But I'll probably never develop it. Other of my minisites that used to get a ton of traffic, I'll probably sell in the next year or two for next to nothing and I'll probably sell or let drop the rest of my exact match domains and sites also. I have a few more-developed sites that I built because I was interested, and those I'll keep.
Perineal massage even in dot.com would be a hard sell to anyone, could only be sold to someone who either wanted to develop an infosite to monetize (and it really wouldn't make much or any income), or someone (a mother or doctor) who simply had an interest in writing about this.
Many EMD's of this quality and better are dropping daily since the minisite crash. That's in dot.com. Yours is a dot.net, and there are uncountable tons of dot.nets available for these exact match domains where the dot.com is taken. Simply no value, unless you yourself have an interest in writing about the perineal massage process and what it's for.
If you regged this one for personal interest and development, then value doesn't matter. If you regged it just to resell, then get a refund if you can, keep reading on this forum and get a clearer idea of what kinds of domains you should reg for reselling. Try develop a clear business plan instead of regging names only due to their search numbers.
Good luck and welcome
