No content and still ranking

14 years ago

This is a case of "exact phrase domains"...

A perfect example actually! You're searching for "botox glasgow" - and the name of the website is h t t p : / / b o t o x g l a s g o w . c o m . Simple as that! People are making A LOT of money on "exact phrase domains" - A LOT!

I'm making a fortune on this as well - with content and backlinks you have a MUCH better chance to rank for a exact domain!

Thanks

Maybe I'm missing something.

People are not making a fortune on blank, undeveloped domains
with zip on it. But people believe it and make domain sellers
rich.

But here's the truth. The site does have content on it, and
appears to be (or was) in the process of being developed.
The domain obviously has a little history.

Sometimes I wonder how people have so much time on their
hands to do useless searches on useless websites.

These things are meaningless. Pointless.

Well you're taking my words WAY to litterally!

I haven't checked the amount of searches for this phrase, I'm just guiding - and I know what I'm talking about, and I know you do to, because I have been on this forum for years now, and I have read a lot of your posts.

Anyway... You can't make a fortune on domains with nothing on it (surprise??) - I don't even know why you wan't to tell me this - everyone KNOWS that, no content/no ads = no money = FACT.

I think you need to relax a little Poul, and just answer the questions

Thanks

I wouldn't worry about him. He talks out of his ass a lot.

And if you think domains without content on them can't make crazy money, then how would you explain domain flippers like myself and domain brokers?

Look at the site in question. Says it has been purchased. Go check out Godaddy for exact domain matches, and they're typically in the thousands. Why are they that high? Because they sell.

If you're into domain flipping - then yes, ofc. you can make a fortune

My bad - I've forgot about domain flippers, I have actually never tried it, but maybe I should, because I have som pretty sweet domain names laying around.

I don't know how I could forget about domain flipping LoL - oh well, you're right! If you pick up a nice name, you will be able to sell if for a pretty nice amount of money!

Thanks for reminding me

Hi Wi,

So that's an example of how much power google gives to exact phrase keyword domains eh? i can't believe the sites below have more links/content including my friends but this one is higher up the serps lol should i just build even more backlinks? will it eventually be overtaken do you think?

cheers mate

Yep, that's a PERFECT example of the exact keyword domains

Well exact keyword domains are not unbeatable! Backlinks is key in this situation. Yes I do believe that if you keep building backlinks you will rank higher AND stronger than that domain!

And I do believe that this domain will be downgraded in the near future because of the low amount of content

Thanks

The domain url is one of the factors why you are still ranking high on search engines, having a keyword on your domain name can easily rank well in search engines.

I had purchased a brand new domain name once and it was in the top 4 on the very first page of google after it propagated over. I was a bit surprised but was like sweet.

I learned that the keywords in the domain name really do make a big difference.

link: botox glasgow - Google Search=

the site is www.botoxglasgow.com

how can that be lol

cheers guys

One more thing to notice is the age of the domain - 3 years. It used to have a bunch of content. That and the domain having the exact keywords of the search is the reason for the result.

Domain age doesn't matter. Link age is what matters.

True! Domain-age is a myth, google doesn't track the domain-age.
