Using Google Keywords/ Traffic Estimator Effectively

Maddmula · 06-01-2011, 08:34 PM

Hey guys,

I have been recently playing around with Google Keywords and Traffic Estimator, then using it to find available domains. I am an affiliate looking to make a site for some diet/ab/fitness products. My first step is to find the right domain, and I'm a little confused on what I should be looking for. It seems that the stuff to be looking for is having high monthly searches, high estimated average CPC, high estimated daily clicks, and low competition (but obviously high search results comes with more competition). For a beginner affiliate is it better to go after a large keyword/domain with a high number of searches/average CPC or go for a small niche domain with a low number of searches/average CPC.

Right now I have a nice small domain with keywords that have 880 Global Monthly Searches, CPC of $12.25, and 0 Estimated Daily Clicks.
I also have a broad category domain with keywords that have 2,240,000 Global Monthly Searches, CPC of 2.32, and and 1 Estimated Daily Click.

Do any of those two domains seem good?

Thanks!
