What to do with EMD?

Lately I've been looking for many exact-match-domains with low competition.
I have 10 keywords with EMDs ready to buy and build.
All keywords are 1000+ local search and $1+ CPC.
What should I do?

  • I am sure people will sell theirs to you, ever since yesterday.

    • I know about the new algo update.
      That's why I am just asking for advice :rolleyes:
  • Build high quality sites and you won't have a problem - the update only targets Low Quality EMDs

    • Mine got tossed off Google completely. I think it flags hypenated emds and de indexes the crap out of them. My site as well as a ton of links just vanished yesterday and my site was in good standing.

    • absolute lie - Its targetting ALL EMD not just poor quality ones

      Fact!

      preganancy.co.uk and a slew of other including mine which were 60 plus pages of unique content and furthermore.

      the penalty doesnt just affect the SINGULAR KEYWORD assosciated with the END - its slaughtering ALL the keywords.

      basically ALL EMD sites are getting hit, with one exception!

      Mattcutts.com

      for some reason little matts site which really isnt about Matt but more about Google, strangely enough (or should i say predictably so) that site flies under the radar - yet pregnancy.co.uk would have benefitted more if the domain name was called 9monthsofhell.com

      Google you have turned from bad to worse this year, we are hoping Blekko or Apple will see the potential for positive change back to the old days where search was NOT about $$$$ but a way to find RELEVANT info fast!

  • All my sites moved up. One went from #6 to #1
  • There is still good money to be made with EMD's, it just takes more effort to make sure they contain quality content, but this would have helped you before the update, it just makes it a necessity now

    • Does it mean that I shouldn't build any new Micro-niche EMD sites?

  • All I want to know is how long this is going to last. Do you guys think this will be more of a permanent thing? If so, I need to start buying up a lot of EMD's myself.

    I mostly gave up on my site because it wasn't going any higher up the serps, untill this last update and google launched me right onto page 1. Its the last position of page 1 but still very exciting.

    Its NOT an exact match domain, but it does have one of our major keywords in the url. I noticed that ALL THE SITES in my niche, that don't have at least 1 keyword in url, were ALL swept off page 1 & 2. Whats really funny, is I was studying SO MANY of these competitors backlinks... and now they're all gone. Google must have more enemies than anyone I can think of lol.
