Competition with same domains

Hi there folks,

I have a good keywords (I think), the top ten is "easy" to outrank.

But the exact domain already exists (.net, .com and .org). I've been looking into these domains and:

- [exactkeywords].com, is 2 years old, has a 19 of Page authority and has 5 external backlinks
- [exactkeywords].org, is 4 months, has a 25 of Page authority and has 7 external backlinks
- [exactkeywords].net, is 4 months, and has nothing of PA neither links

Three sites are affiliate sites with very poor content, I think I can do better. None of the three sites compete for my keywords.

Do you thing is worth competing with these sites? I'm thinking on get the domain with a suffix.

Or it will be a tough task?


Thanks a lot

    If its a buyer keyword then you should go for it. Make sure the keyword has minimum of 1000 exact match searches per month. CPC for the keyword should be at least $1, even if you plan to monetize with adsense.

      All of these domains questions should get a big HUH?

      If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.

    My keywords have 3600 exact searches and 1.2 CPC, I think is OK.

    The competition (top 10 in google) is outrankable (i think), but the exact domain (com net and org) exist and three pages are the same business that I want.

    However these pages are weak pages and without competition for same keywords.


    Thank you

      If they are not competing for the keywords you are targeting. Then they are not your competition. Your competition is the top 3 results in Google for the keywords you "are" targeting.

    Without seeing more on those domains and actually doing some in depth research I can not say, but they look easy enough. Is this going to be an adsense site?
