SEO Domain Question

I'm working on a few Niche sites and noticed strong traffic for terms in my market such as "Best Product Name"

Like "Best Laundry Detergent."

I was planning on using these terms for an affiliate review site. Seems someone searching for the best of something would be pretty motivated to buy right?

Am I correct in assuming that this keyword could rank pretty well if it's part of longtail keyword such as "Best Laundry Detergent Under $10" also?

Just looking for some validation that I am on the right track. Thanks for any help.

    I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but yeah, if you rank well for "best laundry detergent", you'll probably rank well for "best laundry detergent under $10" too. Just do a little basic SEO for the latter, and you'll be fine. A domain of bestlaundrydetergent.com or mybestlaundrydetergent.com or buybestlaundrydetergent.com would work.

      Actually out of the 3 domains he listed, the best one is bestlaundrydetergent.com because it is broader. You can than target all terms under that domain with diffrent pages and content.

        Do you think someone searching for "Best Laundry Detergent" would be as motivated to buy as a person searching "Laundry Detergent Reviews?"

        It seems like there are very equal traffic levels for both terms, so which would have the edge in terms on monetizing with an affiliate site?

    I think Best Laundry Detergent has a slight advantage as long as the search queries are the same for both. Also you might want to check competition for each.

    A question: Do you own these names already? or is this just a general example because those names are already taken?

      I'm about to. There are a several Micro Niches I've been reviewing where these domains are an option with great competition and decent traffic.

        For SEO would "TheBestLaundryDetergent.com" or "bestlaundrydetergent.info" be a better option?

        I know this debate is as old as Google, but I thought I'd ask.

          Go with the .info I guess but really you could try both because the .info is only $1.99

            Been looking into this quite a bit lately too. From what I've found a long tail keyword in the domain will rank, it will juts take a bit longer than an exact domain name.

    I agree with the above comment. I think the keyword Best Laundry Detergent would be more likely to be used to make a buying decision.

    Doesn't matter, both would fit as the site is informational and has commercial tendencies.

    Backed up by a few reputed Internet Marketers, it is said that neither have an advantage when it comes to SEO.

    I would get rid of 'the.' For one, it makes your url easier to remember and two, it condenses it. You don't want to have your url too long.
