1.800.000 Searches a month, 35.000 Competing Pages

Hello:

I just recently found a niche, for which I could find the dead-on domain on godaddy available for purchase. This niche, which is actually a very profitable market, gets 1.800.000 Searches a Month, and has only 35.000 competing pages. The Commercial Intent is also quite high (89%), and using some common knowledge it is a term that could be made profitable very easily.

My question... did I just stumbled upon a goldmine, or is there something I might need to consider, might not have considered.

If it is a goldmine, I would appreciate if someone could tell me what I can expect in terms of income (according to Market Samurai, the SEO value of ranking # 1 is $338.000/month).

Thanks

    1.8 million search is EXACT or BROAD ?

    This is very important and can change the picture completely.

    Depends. Just because you found a good word, doesn't mean you can automatically convert that traffic to buyers.

    You might want to throw that through an adwords campaign first to see if it really does get that many searches. I've come across a few of these "golden" phrases in my time and it usually turns out that for some reason the searches is wrong and it barely gets any.

    And you do want to make sure you are using exact and not broad as D Baker has advised above me.

    The other thing is that you want to look at the competing pages. The number of competing pages does not really mean that much ... you need to see the "strength" of the pages in order to know if you can get to #1.

      Hi:

      Well, I think ranking could be possible, I am already #60 and started a few days ago. When I set it up for exact I get about 720 searches. It doesn't make that much sense because logic dictates this is a phrase that is searched a lot.

      So, does this mean #1 ranking wouldn't get that much traffic?

        Always look at the exact phrase search, rather than the broad. No matter what logic dictates, online marketing is a numbers game. If the numbers aren't there, the money won't be there.

        There is a big different between 1.8 million searches and only 720. This is probably why you managed to find an available domain for that keyword.

        As someone mentioned here, you can simply run an adwords campagin and see how many impressions you are getting for that keyword. Google should also show an approximate number of clicks you should get before you launch your campagin so that can also give you an idea if you have something good at hand.

    Typically #1 ranking would get about 40% of that so around 9 visitors a day.

    Of course there are other things that could affect it like how effective your title is in comparison to your competitors title .... if there are google images or product images at the top of the page.

    If it gets only 720 searches in exact mode, don't pursue it IMO. I'd throw up an AdWords campaign to be sure and check how many impressions you get, but logic aside, there's a vast difference between broad and exact searches.

      You don't know until you try it. Domains are cheap. Test, test, test.

    i agree with some people you need quality more then quantity, 1 visitors that converts out of 20 is good rather then 1 out of 100.

    1.8 million searches and only 35,000 pages is very strange.

    I think you might need to do some further research, and perhaps you are doing a broad match instead of an exact match as others have pointed out.

    Mind you, the exact match is sometimes BS and way off the mark in my experience.

    The only way to know is to do plenty of research, check the Alexa Rank of some of the sites on Page 1 for example.
