I have just one word for it. "Freaking Cool!", oh, wait. In all this excitement, I miscalculated. These are two. I don't care. Mark, you don't realize how much this will help me beating my fathers arguments on buying domain names ! When I find space for it, obviously you get some link love.

Still waiting for the download but this looks like a good tip, indeed. I'll tell you something else that impressed me ... once again I visit 45n5 very early in the morning, my time, and slap myself in the head ... why doesn't my site have a Godaddy affiliate banner ... d'oh. I've been a very satisfied customer of theirs for years now ... heck I was a customer of Bob Parsons back before there was an internet, really ... and I write articles about making money online and making sites pay .... and where would someone go if they got the urge to register a domain while reading? Once again, although you have plenty of "kewl" and "programmy" kinds of things going on here at 45n5, Mark, you've pointed up once again that we need to focus on the simple things first.
Donovan says on November 5, 2007

What a great tip! This has to be the best method I've ever seen to find quality domain names.

You've been stumbled. :)
Dan says on November 5, 2007

Darnit! I have been using the exact!! Same method for over a year, guess I could have blogged about it...

It does work! And its AMAZING how many domains I have personally registered and just parked to make money off the method!
Iantrepreneur says on November 5, 2007

nice - I use this method actually now, especially since the holidays are coming up soon - but I use a different keyword tool or multiples - this is like a free virtual ebook - you could have clickbanked this and sold it for like 197$ - lol!

great job as always!
Roberta says on November 5, 2007

Phenomenal idea, Mark...kudos. :)
Chad says on November 5, 2007

Great tip. I have also used Godaddy's bulk tool to snag many great domains. Note: you can save a step and click "download all keywords" on the bottom of Google's KW tool:)
Siva says on November 5, 2007

Dude, that is a good start.

I have a tool that gives monthly search volume from major search engines:

http://onebuckwiki.com/Domain

Even better, install SEO for Firefox extension.

Normally I get a keyword I like and then add some generic suffix like "online" or "411" .

Look up the domain in Domainsbot.com

ThomasSinfield () says on November 5, 2007:
Great tip. But did you realise that the domains that were available where just in alphabetical order, not in order of searching?
45n5 () says on November 5, 2007:
@thomas - sure enough they are alphabetical, so much for that sort. Still works for finding the domains ;-)

@chad - "download all keywords", lol i missed that button before. thanks.

@dave - yep I like godaddy's affiliate program although the banner hasn't been working out on this site so I'll be moving onto the next thing.

@all - thanks for the feedback. glad you enjoyed it.
Matt Jones says on November 6, 2007

That is a great tip for finding some domains to look at initially, but the other factor is the amount of competition in Google in the organic search. Another step of research that is needed to type the domains in Google and use the ones with few search results as possible.
Caroline Middlebrook says on November 6, 2007

That's what I love about this blog - practical, workable ideas. That's so cool that you use GoDaddy's system like that. Presumably those domains would get a lot of type-in traffic?

There's plenty of other tools out there you could use to generate the keyword list but the concept is the same.
45n5 () says on November 6, 2007:
@caroline - actually it's not for typin, i find it much easier to rank the domain itself and varations of my keyword with these types of domains

@Matt Jones - I never look at "competition" in google for two reasons

1. it doesn't matter

2. there is no quantifiable way to gauge competition in search engines (total search results is funny)

even if the term is very competitive by most peoples definitions I still think it's easier to rank long tail keywords on a related keyword rich domain than not
Josh says on November 6, 2007

Hey, Mark another great article. I actually watched the video yesterday and used the method last night. I found one way around going through excel. If you scroll all the way down on the adwords site, it allows you to download all keywords straight to a text file. Not that big of a deal, but just thought I would let you know.
Mike Peters says on November 8, 2007

Good one! Thanks for sharing
Nishanthe says on November 9, 2007

Fab says on November 10, 2007

Thanks Mark. That's a very very cool way to search for domain name. I will probably use it next time I build a website.
Mark Howard says on November 10, 2007

self seo.com is a good seo site for free
Shycon Web Design says on November 12, 2007

Great little tip! Try downloading this tool as well:

http://www.highdots.com/ppc-keyword-generator/

You can download your keyword list from google, plug in a state list (or whatever!) at the beginning or end of your keyword list, and generate your .com's (without spaces if you need that) and then go see if they're available.
david says on November 13, 2007

Awesome tool to find good domain name, i will definitely help you to get commission.

Thanks again
Russ says on February 8, 2008

That is a very excellent tip.I been doing this for about five months now and I havent found anything as good or as simple as your method. Thanks
accident attorneys says on February 13, 2008

Buying an expired domain is always costlier from tdnam.com. And we need to be careful about "dropped domains". anyways I was able to found few good domains with PR.
Craig says on February 18, 2008

Great idea Mark,
You could just export the keywords to a notepad file via the Adwords tool. I was reading something about godaddy the other day, personally I always use godaddy but I'll quote what I read below:

"1) Because Bod Parsons is an A-hole who needs to go to jail, instead of having a radio show
2) Because this sorry-ass company uses a script to FAKE domain registrations
and make more money from their domain appraisals by saying that "this domain is already registered" (which is ILLEGAL)
3) Because their services are CRAPPY, their interface SUCKS, their hosting sucks EVEN MORE, and thats why they are a Delaware company
4) Because their domain parking service takes 80% of YOUR Adsense, instead of ZERO like Sedo.
5) Because you dont need the .org or .info for a .com outfit. you need the .net
6) Because Yahoo is a SEARCH ENGINE and they give you metatags to make your domain more relevant and nobody else does it but Yahoo."
45n5 () says on February 18, 2008:
@craig - when something is as popular as godaddy you will find haters and lovers

personally, I have 112 domains their at the moment, and have used godaddy trouble free for over 3 years.

when I call customer service at 11:30 pm on a saturday night they answer the phone.

good enough ;)

Hi there !

We have a business proposal for GoDaddy affiliates :

GoDaddy pays you 105 USD per each new sign-up for their web hosting. We propose you to draw a dozen of new customers per month through the GoDaddy promotion banner you display on your website to the GoDaddy website.

This way you will make 105 USD per new user. The commission share model will be the following : 80 / 25 i.e. you pay us 80 USD from the 105 USD you earned per sign-up we brought to you. We will draw approximatley 40-50 new sign-ups per month. Like that you can make about 1000-1250 USD per month for doing nothing. Sounds great, yeah ?

Feel free to contact us at joyjoyblair@yahoo.com if you are interested by this offer.

Best,

Joyce Blair

ROTFL!!

Do you know how hard it is to find striped socks!! You know, white crew socks with three stripes at the top. Yes, I have searched for them!

Great technique, I'll definitely add that to the tricks bag.
