Just Starting Out

Hi,

First post here.

I previously worked for a fairly huge affiliate website and whilst in that job I began to browse this forum. I now have a few ideas of my own for affiliate sites which I am looking to put in place over the next few months. There is some great advice on here and I have read most of it carefully so I feel ready to give it a reasonable go myself.

I have one quick question which might be silly but I just wanted to check. I read a few times that it can be a big help for SEO if a domain name has a high number of exact matches in Google searches. I have decided to try out a certain niche and found a domain name which has 310 000 exact matches - at least I think it does.

Are they exact matches count if the search phrase has spaces between the words - obviously the domain doesn't.

The reason I ask is that this phrase actually has the word 'buy' in it and so I would think that people using this search phrase have a high level of purchase intent, which leads to think that this domain name would surely have been snapped up already if it had 310 000 exact matches??

Also, I am having real trouble using Filezila if anyone could help out??

Thanks in advance.

If you truly have found a domain with "buy" in it and 301,000 exact matches for the UK then snap it up right away because it's a beauty. I'd just check it once more and make sure that you have selected the UK only. It does sound too good to be true but sometimes you do stumble upon these great niches that nobody else has thought of yet.

Hi,

Cheers for the reply. Yes I have checked this over and over as I couldn't believe it myself. It is for very, very high value items as well which made it more surprising.

I bought the domain this morning. Now working my way through the minefield of Wordpress!!

I think I have it sucessfully uploaded to my site, which is on Just Host - any help on how I actually use - like I said - I am a true beginner.

Cheers

Are you 100% sure that you've selected to search for exacts and not broad or phrase.

Very rare to find a 301k search term not registered in .co.uk. Kudos if you have though.
