Finding EMDs Fast! What's the best tool or process?

Really? I don't find it to be overrated at all. I can rank in EMD in the first three results based on my easy competition criteria in a matter of two weeks with little to no backlinks. Ranking for other keywords with the same competition criteria takes about 4 to 6 weeks and I have to build links. Why would you register a domain such as bestgasgrillsarounddotcom that gets no searches vs gasgrillreviewsdotcom that gets 1k searches? Seems like your generic domain is a waste of time to me since it will get no traffic. We are talking about niche websites btw if your a brander than yeah EMDs are pointless to you.

I do not just target the EMD keyword as the only keyword for the website. I also target about 10 to 12 other keywords that are closely related. I can see how building a site just to rank the EMD can be quite pointless, however, if you diversify your keywords you have a quick ranking solution for one of them ( your EMD which is usually your highest traffic keyword), and 11 or 12 other keywords that will be ranking in the near future! To each his own I guess.

Outwest is right on the money. EMDs are way, way, way over-rated.

Exactly, so why are you here bashing it if it doesn't even interest you and calling it a "crutch"? The truth is I hate doing Off Page SEO so eliminating this from my process as much as possible is a huge time saver for me hence why I'm interested. I build micro niche sites that in total get a minimum of 10k total uniques a month and this is satisfactory for me given the time spent building, cost of production, and upkeep of each site in comparison to my return on investment. Total traffic value is only relative to the commission/CPC of the keyword anyways. If you get 1000 uniques and your doing adsense with a .50 cent CPC good luck. If your doing 1000 uniques a month on a $5-$7 CPC then hello easy money.

Looking into it now thank you so much for the reference!

What you "think" and what I know are obviously two different things. You've placed a "magic pill" type scenario on an EMD and that is quite comical. You can answer your own question by analyzing the linking structure of the sites that are beating you as well as the on page factors. But you are experienced and know SEO so why am I even telling you this.

Like I said from the beginning. I don't rank just that one term I rank multiple terms.

THE KEYWORD THAT IS THE EMD RANKS FASTER WITH LESS OFF PAGE SEO THAN THE COMPETITION. THE OTHER KEYWORDS I RANK FOR TAKE LONGER TO RANK AND REQUIRE MORE WORK. If that's not the case for you then your on page SEO must be sub par.

That's fine if 1000 searches is not good for you, but that 1000 searches FOR ME can easily equate to a $100+ a month payday that I can put together in roughly 2 hours and therefore renewing the domain once a year at 11 or 12 bucks is a non issue along with hosting fees.

Who in the world told you that?

EMDs are best when they represent a category of things, but they can also branch into many long tail keywords, so I have no idea how you came up with that conclusion.

I've seen this argument several times, and honestly, I'm happy for the people that have no interest in EMDs, more opportunity for me :0.

As long as the internet stays in this state with this emphasis on .com, .net, .org, although I typically stick with .com, there will be a lot of value with EMDs.

Sure, in SEO terms, most of the time they provide little SERP value right now, but the algorithms are always changing.

I would take the EMD nursingschools.com anyday over the churned up garbage names people come up with to establish some sort of presence.

However, despite the low SERP boost I have seen exceptions to these rules in the SERPS with many competitive keywords having 1st page EMDs with older domain ages that stick with the big boys even though they have a fairly weak backlink structure.

If you're targeting EMDs that are not taken, good luck with that! :0, Its possible to find some that have true value but very difficult.

Save up your change and invest in EMDs that have age and true relevance. Then build those into authority websites and BINGO, you've struck gold.

I'm using Market Samurai currently it is just so dang slow as of late. Thank you for your input though!

I looked into it and that is exactly what I'm looking for! The only drawback I see in all the videos reviewing the service are how there are so few domain names available. The video reviewers themselves even say they have a hard time finding EMD's with this tool, but instead use it for keyword research only.

Your math is a little off, try 6600 monthly global EXACT searches.

Guys try my Gig in my signature, i also has some intersting branded EMD service gigs..

Get your notepad out. No, literally...open notepad.

Start a broad search for any niche. Let's say...sidewalk lighting, for an example.

On the first page of your search, scroll down to googles related search. It will say Search results related to sidewalk lighting.

Copy and paste that list into notepad and head over to googles keyword tool or whatever keyword tool you want to use.

Take the best keywords that you find and do a domain lookup first then head over to your favorite domain register and get it.

Rinse...repeat.

There ya go.

Let me be the first to say that after receiving Dennis's top secret formula for how to find Exact Match Domains in bulk USING ALL FREE TOOLS...that I am ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY!

Before I learned Dennis's system, I was maybe able to conjure up 2 or 3 Exact Match Domains that had acceptable traffic after about two hours of work. That was OK but quite slow in my opinion.

Once I implemented Dennis's system for the VERY FIRST TIME...I found 12 EXACT MATCH DOMAINS IN JUST UNDER 15 MINUTES!

All these domains had greater than 1500 local US searches per month, all had over $1 CPC, either .com/.net/.org was available, and some even had 8000+ local US searches each month! WOW!

I have been searching high and low for weeks for detailed information on how to achieve these results, and now I'm set!

Thank you Dennis for teaching me such a wonderful system for finding EMD's. I will never be short on ideas again!

I love the phrase "no offense" because it always directly trails an offensive remark.

Simply put, if you don't understand the value of having access to this kind of data QUICKLY and IN BULK then you should let your thought processes out of the box every once in a while.

And you are wrong in stating "I go to godaddy.com and search for a domain. There is no other way to do this." There are a multitude of ways to bulk check phrases for EMDs, they were just TOO SLOW FOR ME.

I found a new way thanks to the creation of this thread, and now I can find EMDs at 10x+ the speed I could before...Do I think there's a shortcut for everything as you implied? NO...Did I get the solution to the shortcut I knew was possible but couldn't quite pinpoint on my own? YES.

That is why I love this forum.

And by the way...I have found MANY tools that have made my life simpler through automation that I wouldn't have known existed had they not been discussed in this forum. So what's the harm in asking if something is possible?

It only took 42 posts.

Although I'd suggest namecheap over GoDaddy.
