Hi Chris Thanks!
I have a question about the Domain extensions, did they mention why a .info,.me is not preferable? To my understanding its just a domian extension and nothing else right ? 
I clearly am new to this.
also on the hyphens, any reason why its not?
again thanks Chris, I was planning to get a domain with hyphens and a .info! 
because its about 90 cents on Godaddy. Im not kidding!
-Brandon Sean
Hi Chris,
Great info. Yes, I'm aware that .info sites are low on SE rankings. In fact, that sets off a red flag for SEs - because that's what a lot of affiliates have often done - bought a bunch of .info domains dirt-cheap and set up affiliate sites in the past. So this is certainly a no-no.
This is where I find software like IBP coming in real handy to use - tweaking a site to make sure you get the right kind of on-site and off-site SEO.
Thanks again for a very clearly written post.
My problem is always the same - how do you set up 25-30 sites so fast? It takes me ages to do things 
- maybe because I'm still mostly learning as I go. Last week I was teaching myself basic Javascript to deal with a new site I'm working on...
Somesh.
Hi Brandon,
I think the main reason is as Somesh said above, affiliates were buying these domains by the dozens because they are so cheap so Google penalized them.
As I mentioned, this was a three hour long Webinar and I was there for the entire time. Obviously this was a sales pitch, but I really got the sense that Nathan knows his business (read his blog and learn more about him). He basically runs a data center that collects data from Google 24/7. He developed his own software that searches Google for keywords and then it analyzes all the web sites that get the top rankings. I can't remember how many factors he said his software analyzes, but it was lot. Obviously it's things like domain name, domain extension, page rank, domain age, backlinks, H1 tags, and many more. The two factors that really stood out were the domain name matching the keyword and domain extension. These two factors based on Nathan's analysis will give you a great head start over the competition. And this just logically makes sense, but most people probably don't think of registering a new domain name each time they want to target a keyword and building a mini-site around it.

Great post Chris. Lot to learn. Internet Marketing and SEO education is never ending. You learn something new everyday. WOW.

Hi Somesh,
Take a look at the Thesis theme for WordPress and watch the videos on the site, especially the 'Discover how you can build a website with Thesis". I was telling Mary Payton earlier this thing is just awesome. It's makes it very easy to customize your own WordPress site. It's a little expensive, but I think it's the only theme you'll need. Personally, I hate working with free themes and trying to change them to my specifications. This makes it a breeze. Also, from what I have gathered the Thesis theme is coded extremely well for SEO. I'll find this out soon when I start using it to build my keyword domains.

Here's an example of what I am talking about. Let's take the keyword "background checks" and find related keywords. This is a highly competitive niche and it would be next to impossible to build a broad authority web site that will get top Google rankings. Instead, apply the method I described above. Here's a screenshot of the top keywords and I marked the ones with an available .org domain name.
As you can see there aren't too many good domains left, but backgroundcheckforemployment.org is available. This keyphrase received 3,600 searches last month and the estimated average CPC is $4.59. Not too shabby! If you can get on page one (or two) just for this keyphrase you will easily pay the annual domain registration fee and then some.
So, what sounds like the better strategy?
1) Try to build a broad authority web site in a niche that is highly competitive with a lot of participants.
2) Laser target a specific keyword and build a site devoted to this one keyword and try to get it ranked high. Then rinse and repeat.
Realistically, number one is going to be next to impossible for most people. Number two will still present some challenges, but the odds of success are much higher.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the info. I looked at Thesis and it looks like a great tool. I guess I'll have to save up for it.
Thanks again.

Your welcome, Somesh!
I'll keep everyone posted about my results.
My strategy is now very simple:
1) Buy keyword domains
2) Build WordPress sites with the Thesis theme
3) Add content
4) Use Unique Article Wizard to spin and submit articles
5) Use other backlinking strategies when needed
6) Rinse and repeat

Save up for it? Didn't you have like 300 GVO referrals?
Chris I just want to say that this Topic and your explanation of it is awesome. I read every word you wrote and I loved it. Thanks for sharing. I bought a course not too long ago called Commission Ritual and the creator of that course echoes everything you just shared with us.
I found the domain FindPeopleFree.org...can you imagine having that rank on the first page for the keywords find people free?
I am hoping to get there soon.
The SEO world and everyones way of doing SEO is so murky. I would love to find a clear way to get my site to page #1.
You are the man Chris!!!
Save up for it? Didn't you have like 300 GVO referrals?
Hi Chad,
Good one! 
Don't I wish I had 300! You're right, but we really need the money for our move, and it's only half of what we need - starting totally from scratch. Plus, we're giving away 2k to our volunteers for our social projects who really need sponsoring. Never mind, I certainly have it on the radar, and am working on some other strategies, so if those things work out, I might be able to afford it sooner than later.
Somesh.
P.S. Chris, I'm really looking at this very seriously. For a while now, I've been focusing on keyword based domains, and I see results. I set up a website in Sept - my first one, and that has been #1 in Google since Oct. amongst 44 million sites. Of course, there was a lot more that went into it, but nonetheless, I can testify that this is one of the key factors in getting things to work for good SEO.

Somesh,
Thanks for sharing. You know I've done the same thing in the past successfully and I completely failed to connect the dots. I've always bought into the conventional wisdom that you have to build huge sites with a lot keyword targeted content and backlinks, work hard to get your page rank up, yada, yada, yada. Of course this can work, but it's very time consuming and you are entering an arena with a lot of competition. The cost of a domain is negligible when you factor in how just one good keyword can be very profitable.
Of course I'm not saying to just go out and buy some keyword related domains and watch the money roll in, but I think this strategy will give people a very good head start.
We should get a few people testing this strategy and then report back in a month with our results.

Hi Chris,
Great info. Yes, I'm aware that .info sites are low on SE rankings. In fact, that sets off a red flag for SEs - because that's what a lot of affiliates have often done - bought a bunch of .info domains dirt-cheap and set up affiliate sites in the past. So this is certainly a no-no.
thanks Somesh, ok it makes sense now with .Info is not so good at being indexed. believe it or not i was just about to purchase a .info at godaddy for the reason of it being cheap.

Hi Chris, thansk I was looking at Thesis this few days and was actually looking for something like that, A fully cuztomizable theme, there are just tons of free wordpress themes available but the ones i specifically look for is one that can give me
1) Sub pages/categories drop down
2) 2- 3 column options
3) mini sidebars-tabs
when you filter it to all this criteria aboce your left with just so little options for themes...
whats cool about thesis is that you can also assigned categories and pages together on the top of the page ( I was looking for that for so long)
the fact that thesis itself is highly cuztomizable its a great reason to get it, and now on top of that it is really SEO friendly..
I am going to switch to Thesis soon!
I also just found out that there is an affiliate program for thesis

Hi Brandon,
Smart move! Thesis is just awesome! The more I'm getting into it the more impressed I am. I believe this is the only theme you'll ever need. Basic customization is very easy and with a little knowledge of CSS the sky is the limit.
It's an investment at $164, but if you buy it through ShareASale you can earn the 33% commission.
The support is awesome and with unlimited use and upgrades it's an investment that will easily pay for itself.
We should get a separate thread going just dedicated to Thesis.

Hey Chris, great post! Very clear and easy to follow Just like Somesh, the only thing is it takes me some time to bring up a website 
If you google mini sites
Why is using dashes or hyphens not advisable for domain registration? It seems to be ok with Mary's post on the SEO primer . There was an example given
4. Don’t get all happy with the dashes/hyphens. But a few well-placed dashes are a good idea. Otherwise who knows if expertsexchange.com is meant to be ‘experts exchange’ or ‘expert sex change’ ??
I have been looking at Thesis a while back too. It was recommended by a guru. The price threw me off. I think if it's tax deductible for having a business then it's worthwhile to get it too. The ease of use would probably save a lot of productive hours and headaches. I probably get it after I get my GVO referral bonus It's probably not much a big deal for Somesh and Brandon since they've gotten paid for being the top 5 APS referrers now!
What do you think about woohoo themes ?
Milton
2) The domain name shouldn't have dashes and it should be a .com, .org or .net extension. Forget about .info, .me, .ws and all the other extensions out there. The domain extension that ranks the best is .org, but you should try to get the .com first because of the perceived commercial value.
thanks Chris.. great information...
and what about domain with extension .us ? Due to so many domain related with targeted keyword already reserved by some people and it could be You, Chris
Hi Milton,
Nathan recommended no dashes. I don't know now much of a factor it plays, but it probably doesn't hurt your SEO efforts too much if you go with dashes. The main thing is to match your keyphrase with domain. I know Site Build It! which has been very effective at getting its members ranked high for keywords recommends dashes and I've seen the results.
I don't know anything about Woohoo. I've heard of it, but never looked at it. I'm going to get a separate thread going about Thesis. I don't think people realize just how many top people in the industry use it.
-Chris
Here's a quick update. This is actually embarrassing. The domain that I mentioned that I bought in my original post is now on the first page of Google (#7 spot) for the keyword and the site isn't even developed! I only have Thesis installed on it with a "test" post. Seriously. I wish I could show this to you guys, but I just can't give away this niche because there are some high paying keywords still left that I haven't snapped up.
Anyways, this strategy really looks promising. I think where this can really pay off in a hurry is if you find exact keyphrases in the 500 - 1000 search range. There is a good chance that these have been overlooked and the domain is still available (depending on niche) and there probably isn't too much competition for the keyphrase. Use the method I describe above to import huge keyword lists into a bulk registration tool and check the estimated CPCs with Google's keyword tool. As I mentioned, the keyphrase I snapped up has an estimated CPC of $19.84! This is probably a rare find, but I'm coming across a lot of keyphrases in the $2 - $6 in various niches. Even though you won't get huge amounts of traffic these keyphrases are highly targeted so you'll be getting qualified traffic that you can send to your offers.
Tip: Focus on tangible products preferably in the higher price range that sell well. With 85 million transactions per month, Ebay is a great source to find out what is selling. Terapeak is the best service I know of to analyze Ebay data.
-Chris
Hi Chris,
well done a comprehensive and practical guide!
Unfortunately, they do a terrible job of condensing a very complicated subject (SEO is basically the science of reverse engineering Google) into practical advice that the average Internet marketer can apply
"practical" being the keyword here Chris. I work with a lot of academic people who can't explain things in a simple nuts and bolts way and I think a lot of the SEO community as you say are like that. As many probably make money in SEO as consultants it's in their interest to sound convoluted and complicated, encouraging less expert people to believe they need their services.
2) The domain name shouldn't have dashes and it should be a .com, .org or .net extension. Forget about .info, .me, .ws and all the other extensions out there.
Have to really disagree with you here. Why? Well personal experience. My blog is an .info and is ranking just fine thank you. I've only done minimal SEO work and have managed to arrive on page 1 no.3 with a blog still a work in progress.
http://www.screencast.com/users/daveg39 … 3699343d66
I note no 1 is .info as well. My next SEO task is to apply Hi tags and rise to the top spot and then try to do the same for individual pages.

Hi Chris Great post as usual if you had thesis theme,I highly recommend you do first is install the Thesis-OpenHooks plugin. it's allows you to do all sorts of customization without even having to modify the custom.css file.

Ok so I was thinking of buying a people search related domain soon, If i get it now though I wont be fully able to utilize it , am travelling and preparing for exams, I rather buy it when im ready by Mid June i would have all the time in the world
What exactly do we talk about in the people search blog? any suggestions as to what sort of contents and pages ( the typical pages) to be inserted in the blog
Also how many pages for this mini site?(recommended)
Finally what about .US extensions?
Anyways Thanks Chris for creating this topic, it gives us all to get a taste of running a micro niche site so we can apply this for other blogs as well.
-Brandon Sean
Hey Chris
you know this is probably one of the best topics for me, i keep returning to this page applying what you said.
I got a question assuming I manage to get a domain with a nice CPC and say below 2k searches per month but the search results shows say 3 million (example) do we need to take in to consideration the amount of search results as well?
also
how do we add contents for our mini sites? what is the good amount of pages one should have before we move on to the next domain?
Thanks in advance Chris!
-Brandon Sean
Hi Brandon,
That's a very good question. I can't say for certain, but I don't think the number of results matters that much. I don't worry about it. I think what's more important are the inurl, intitle and inanchor results. But I don't even bother with these results either.
What I'm doing is using Micro Niche Finder to find domains to purchase and I really only focus on two ratings once I find a profitable niche: Strength of Competition and Measure of Backlinks. I don't know what the equation is for the Strength of Competition rating, but MNF gives you a very simple green light, yellow light or red light along with a number (the lower the better). Green means go, yellow means caution and red means don't waste your time. The Measure of Backlinks gives you an average of the number of backlinks the sites ranked on page one have for a particular keyword. The main thing I look for here is what kind of sites are ranked on page one. If I see a lone article from EZA, Squidoo or something that tells me this is a keyword that will be very easy to rank for. Sometimes just the domain alone can put you on page one. Sometimes just one article can do it. It all depends on how much competition.
I don't complicate this process too much. Domains are cheap. If a few don't work out it's no loss. I just want to find keywords in niches that get some traffic and have a decent estimated CPC so I know it will be worth my time to monetize the site. I'm not trying to hit a home run with these sites - just consistently make $50 - $100+ a month off each one. The ones that perform the best will get more work done on them down the road.
As far as number of pages, just get your privacy, T&C, sitemap and contact page up. This takes about 10 seconds to do with Thesis. Then maybe five or so relevant posts. I think it all depends on the niche and how much competition is on page one.
Content creation is the hardest part. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to do this. I like UAW's plugin and I'm looking into Brad Callen's new service. But nothing beats your own content. It's pretty easy to take a related article and rewrite it making it your own.
Don't get bogged down in the details and just get stuff out there. You'll get the "feel" over time of what works and what doesn't and you can fine tune your own system. Everyone should develop their own system based on what works best for them.
Take a look at Pot Pie Girl's free report for more information on this topic. She has a checklist of 20 steps she takes to launch her micro niche sites.
These micro niche sites work. Just get them out there and start building passive income - fine tune later.
We'll get more people working on these and we can compare notes. The APS Micro Niche Challenge will be a great start.
-Chris
P.S. I really like eBay's Partner Network to monetize these micro niche sites with. A great WP plugin is PHP Bay. Also, here is a great plugin for Amazon.com.
Both eBay and Amazon are two great places to find what's selling and get ideas for niches. If you want to do some eBay market research one of the best places is TeraPeak. Just use the service for one month and you'll come across some niches that you would never even think of. Especially look into collectibles. Collectors pay some absurd prices for junk because they need their fix.

Great post Chris. I have been working more on great quality content lately and things are looking fab. Just a note on what you were saying about the .info extension, I have a great littlte lead capture site which is a .info. It has a page rank of 3 so far and hits the first page when using my chosen keyword 'hot qualified leads' It's slowly making an appearance with variations of this including 'need leads' 'qualified leads'. I get a steady flow of daily traffic through here.
Your information here is fantastic and you will be pleased to know I have sent people to your posts many times
You all have a great day
Brandon,
Here's a perfect example. Sorry, but I can't give away the domains because I snatched them up.
But you'll see the exact phrase count is over 1 million, but look at how little competition there is. Most of the sites on page one of Google for this keyword don't have any backlinks. This should be very easy to get a page one ranking for both of the available domains that I purchased. The keyword received 1,300 exact matches last month and it has an estimated CPC of $28.33. Two little gems.
-Chris
P.S. I have the above image hosted on this site. If anyone wants the landing page feel free to copy it.

I was looking at MNF just yesterday priced at $99 I guess its not a bad investment
So I believe with all this high CPC domain you would be earning from adsense rather than any affiliate products I believe, thats great!
I like how MNF displays the number of Backlinks, and also well pretty much integrates other features as well like clickbank marketplace, pretty interesting.
Now i think its the dedication to actually add content and continue but I dont want to crack my head any further, most importantly is actually first getting the domain name and actually get started, like you said to get the "feel"
Thanks Chris you rock!
I just love this forum so much

Hi Brandon,
Micro Niche Finder is a Clickbank product so you can buy it through you own affiliate link (50% off). Also, they mail you a cool little USB drive so you can take it with you (even in Malaysia, I think).
I own both Micro Niche Finder and Market Samurai. Overall I think Market Samurai is a better product because it does a better job of analyzing page one competition. However, I find Micro Niche Finder easier to use and faster. This is a personal quirk, but I have a tendency to over analyze things and then I suffer for analysis paralysis. I've come to realize that affiliate marketing is not a precise science so I don't want to get caught in any traps. If you take action consistently the pieces will fall into place. The minutiae can derail you.
Oh, and for these domains that I purchased I'll probably start with AdSense, but then find a CPA offer. They are in a financial product niche. Niches like insurance, mortgages, annuities, structured settlements pay very well. As I mentioned in the opening post, a company like SureHits.com pays $7 per click for targeted insurance traffic.

Chris. Content creation is the hardest part. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to do this. I like UAW's plugin and I'm looking into Brad Callen's new service. But nothing beats your own content. It's pretty easy to take a related article and rewrite it making it your own.
