question Would a domain with 100k monthly searches get good parking revenue?

[AGermanGuy]

I am thinking about buying a keyword domain whos keyword has 100k+ monthly searches accourding to Adwords Keyword Planner. Is it worth buying it?

I know that the tip for using Estibot is a big NONONO at Namepros But concerning the recent problems with keyword tool, its quite useful. Try it

I guarantee you that many people here use Estibot on a regular basis. I myself am a long time subscriber and user.

Maybe its not comme il faut with the posh establishment, but anyone scanning lists with 1000 of names regularly, will see a use for Estibot. I weed my lists down using Estibot and other automated means before I ever set my eyes on them.

Both in buying and selling large quantity of domains and even for portfolio management, it is hands down the best automated tool for domain appraisals.

Purists will tell you that an appraisal need to be manual to be accurate. Appraisals are just data points, not price tags so they will never hit the next "correct" buy/sale price of a domain.

Besides manual evaluations of domains is reminiscent of art evaluation. Value is in the eye of the beholder and thus extremely subjective. I like Estibots evaluations better as indicators.

But in the end, appraisals or none, I always set my own price or bid.



PS.
To be on topic. OP why would you think that someone would sell a valuable 2 keyword domain for 100 EUR? OF-course it is not worth buying, why do you think the seller is selling it?

Would you sell an asset with recurring revenue for 100 EUR?

And final tip. Valuate.com should give you 5 extra free Estibot evaluation per day on top of the one at Estibot.com. Just need to register. Or for a one-time fee of 20$ - 20x per day.

Understand that searches is not the same as traffic. There may be a ton of searches for a specific term, but that doesn't mean people will be direct navigating to the domain.

It is somehow correlated with searches, BUT when the 2 word searches are exceeding 12 letters and up, the type in traffic declines exponentially. 3 word keywords with 100.000 searches per month and over 15 letters receive close to 0 traffic. Short words are ok imo.

i have 3 word names with more than 15 letters and they have less than 1000 monthly searches, but they still earn revenue from ppc.

one visitor and one click a month, depending on EPC, can produce more than enough revenue to pay renewal fees

Be careful, recently the keyword tool from Google Adwords is all messed up. It shows the same volume of searches for singular, plural and even typos. So those 100.000 searches per month could actually be 0.

Someone else has noticed this.

Keyword planner's tool is useless now and constantly giving out wrong search data.
In fact I have personally blown a lot of money on names thinking they had more search volume than they did until I realised google's tool must have become faulty. The names weren't bad buys per se but not the buys I thought they were at the time. Estibot is now worth its value just to reveal live and cached search volume IMO.

I don't see many people talking about this but it's a significant issue.

While this is likely nearly always true, there are exceptions
But certainly should be considered carefully. Be sure the name is definitely as advertised (IDN, scam..etc)

I believe we shouldnt talk here about "traffic" with 1 visitor per month. If we are speaking about pure type ins 1000 searches per month are far to less to see any significant traffic in majority of the cases.

make sure you have plan B, cause I am sure, if that domain really valuable, the owner wil not sell for 100 euro! but if you plan to build a site with that domain, I am sure, some company will contact you and willing to pay some money, at least you can cover for reg fee!

most of the time valuable domain already taken! because premium domain always have this criteria, e.g short, or one keywords, that have commercial value! I.e limited edition! but of course there's always be an exception, like gambling on casino! we could win, but for some reason actually we already know the end result. but if that domain price only 88 cents, I think you should go for it! even the domain name are very very long name dot com! lol

[MR Harrist]

Well, use other search tools. What else, lol.

 

[MR Harrist]

other search tools basically adwords clones, they just tweak here and there! and make it newb friendly!
btw adwords tools will not go down! if that tools goes down, mean Google down to! but of course Google also know they having dillema! but that's Google trick to be the best Company on the internet! i.e sharing what they know about what user looking for(adwords) ! if Google help some one to make money, that people will share their money(for Ads)! but if Google hiding their secret!( Adwords go Down) People wil stop spend money for ads! I.e Google Goes down.

Just my $2

Hi. Sorry that this is off the original topic, but this is the first place where I see people are discussing the faulty search volume reported by Google Adwords. I use the word "faulty", but I'm starting to think that this is a permanent change. I think it's been like this for 3-4 weeks now! I use ExpiredDomains (dot) net quite often, and of course they report search volume being reported from Google Adwords, and this is really throwing me off. Does anyone know if Google plans to fix this? Good tip for using Estibot. I may need to subscribe. Right now I just get the 1 daily search. Thanks.

It has been giving faulty results for a lot longer than that.

It has been many months and I personally made buys for serious $ based off these false results and I know the buys weren't as good as I thought because of demand not being what I assumed.

I shouldn't have relied on keyword planner so lesson learned but it's very strange and perhaps is there to stop SEO people using and abusing it. However advertisers lose out this way who are their bread and butter.

Very odd.

What was the name?

 

[AGermanGuy]

What was the name?

SexualSound.com

And yes, it was that crappy.

 

[baseballworld]

Use tools like that as a reference guide and many other factors before buying. Just a tip if your interested in a name do not tell people the name some people will register it before you do if it is good. May even go as far as to tell you it sucks then get it for themselves.

 

[decades80]

But I know what Biggie was trying to tell. I have some names with monthly searches of around 20 and they do bring revenue of XX per month. I call them typos, even they are FAR from that. But pure type ins without an actual symbiosis to "friends" once again *NOT TYPOS* are mostly taken from 2001 on. So to get common 2 word domain with exact 100.000 searches per month for 100 EURos sounds like science fiction to me...

I didnt really understand what you said here. May I ask you to explain it for dummies?

 

[decades80]

Domains which get traffic solely from "Hey lets see what is on keyword1+keyword2.ext domain" are since years almost impossible to register or the price on the secondary market gets pretty high...

Re the keyword tool - https://www.namepros.com/threads/google-adwords-keyword-tool-changes.950359/

Google's not going to "fix" anything. They changed it to match how keyword bidding works in Adwords. There is no more "pure" exact match in Adwords - from an Adwords standpoint, it works like it should.

I've been test driving alternatives. Watch out for keyword tools that are based on the Adwords API, like KWfinder - they'll give you the same results as AKP. Some tools use flakey proprietary data. Moz keyword tool is good, Bing is free - it shows bing results but you can estimate by search share. There are also keyword tools built into other platforms like serpwoo, semrush, ahrefs that are good.
