- I'm making a course on finding EMDs
I’m a big fan of exact match domains.
EMDs give you an advantage when it comes to SEO (all else being equal).
Even a small advantage can have a massive impact in low competition niches.
Frankly, a small advantage can have a huge impact in high competition niches too.
For instance, check out the keyword “mortgage calculator”:
The second result is an exact match domain that gets over a million visitors per month. It’s a very simple site. Exactly what people who search “mortgage calculator” are looking for.
Another example is “crypto profit calculator”.
Every site ranking on the first page of Google have high authority, except one. The one with low Domain Authority is an exact match domain, “CryptoProfitCalculator .com”.
Crypto Profit Calculator gets tens of thousands of monthly visitors. They probably make some pretty sweet commissions with that Binance affiliate link:
Those two examples are notoriously difficult niches. The competition is ruthless.
For lower competition niches, EMDs have even more of an impact. And by the way, you can’t rely on an EMD alone (except in extremely low competition niches). You still have to build a quality site.
But a quality site on an EMD will perform better than a site of the same quality on a generic domain name, assuming everything else is equivalent.
Hopefully it’s clear now why EMDs are so valuable.
What about the course?
I’m creating a course where I’ll show you exactly how I find valuable EMDs that are available to hand register (which means they’re not already taken - you can simply buy them at any domain registrar).
I’ll show you how to find thousands of EMDs. Hundreds of thousands, if you desire.
You’ll also learn how to find out the search volume for the main target keyword.
And I’ll show you how to find metrics like Domain Authority for all the domains.
By the end, you’ll have all the knowledge you need to build a massive list of available exact match domains, along with useful metrics for each of them. The metrics will make it easy to sort the list to find the best EMDs, which you can then build websites on, or flip for a profit.
To see an example of what your EMD list might look like, here’s a list I shared in a previous email (your list will be WAAAAAYYYY larger and have even better domains): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-_JiYVugP-rnA7MwBaTTaFllDlSYMh4qVgdwdtl_AU0/edit?usp=sharing
FAQs about the course:
When will I launch it?
I’m aiming for next week! I’ll send an email when it’s ready.
How much will it cost?
The price will be $149 when I launch it. However, if you pre-order it TODAY, you can get it for $99 and save fifty bucks. After today, the price will be $149!
Will I need to spend money on software, etc in order to follow the course?
The main tools you’ll use are Microsoft Excel (or Google Sheets), and a free tool to check domain name availability.
You’ll also need a keyword research tool like Ahrefs or Keysearch, a subscription to Keywords Everywhere ($2.25/mo), and to find Moz metrics for the domains like DA and PA, you’ll need to pay for the data ($25/10,000 domains or $99/60,000).
Email me if you have any other questions!
Can’t wait to launch the course and show you how I find available EMDs like these (feel free to snag ‘em!):
FancyLetterGenerator .com - 368,000 monthly search volume for the main keyword, “fancy letter generator”. Low-medium competition niche.
UberCostCalculator .com - 110,000 monthly search volume for “uber cost calculator”. A competing site with a DA of 17 gets nearly 50,000 visitors/mo:
JobsInTemecula .com - 9,900 monthly searches for the main keyword, “jobs in temecula”. Temecula, California has a population of 110,000. This is a great EMD for a Temecula area job board.
FortCollinsWindowTinting .com - 880 monthly searches for “fort collins window tinting”. Very valuable keyword, with a CPC of $3.60. Low competition. Fort Collins, Colorado has a population of 170,000. Perfect EMD for a rank and rent site!
I’ll stop there.
If you take my course, you’ll learn everything you need to know to find EMDs like this (and even better ones) in a matter of hours.
Pre-order the course for $99 here. Price goes up to $149 after today.
Thanks for reading,
