Inverse Domains - I Got One And It's Surprising Me...

Going to test this out too. Have a few different site ideas I think this will shine in. I'll report back with results if all goes well in the following weeks.
Cool dude, make sure to do so!

I picked up an inverse domain 2 months ago. I put up around 15 initial pages of content, interlinked the site wikipedia style, and have been adding 1 new page of LSI content per week. The only linkbuilding this site has seen is a small SB blast and around 500 or so guestbook links. (It's a non-CMS theme)

It has close to 20k exact matches per month in the dating niche.

It's been aging on the 2nd page, at around #11, for almost a month.

So, yeah, my opinion is that inverse domains look promising so far.
That's good stuff, I think there is something to this. Time to do the testing...
 


I haven't tested with inverse domain names but I do have websites with exactkeywordnow.com domain. Meaning I just add some words behind the exact keyword be it now/guide/fast etc. As long as you have the exact keyword in the domain, it somehows provide some edge over having a non-keyword domain.

Recently, I just bought a keywordnow.com domain and has 15k exact searches per month in the health niche. Currrently, its ranking #8 after a month and the only offpage SEO I did was 100 social bookmarks, a couple of .edu contextual links and a blog network service on WF that posts to 400 different domains.

I am now starting my 2nd wave of offpage SEO by getting better quality links such as high PR comments, article submissions from high PR site etc and I should be in the top 5.

So, yes I think inverse domain does work in my opinion but why not get a domain name that makes more sense. Just do like what I did by adding words such as guide/now/fast etc behind the keyword and its equally effective if not better than an inverse domain.

Hey Felix, yeah I buy and have bought those types of domains all the time. I definitely have a point of comparison when it comes to that. That is why I was surprised at the jump of the inverse domain, because my exactkeywordplusaword.com domains usually don't move up as fastly with the very low level of backlinks that I gave the domain that I spoke of in the OP.

On top of that, this keyword is Exact Match 135,000 per month, the other exactkeywordplusaword.com domains didn't even have half as many searches. I basically bought the domain because I didn't think it would be available when I thought of it and I thought it would be cool to see how much fire-power it would take to rank it.

It was totally on the backburner, but now I see that it won't take much fire-power, or atleast not even close to what I was prepared to point at it.

The best part is it's on a subject I have great passion about, and it will be a long-term white hat site.
 
I haven't tried any inverse domains yet just because I don't like the way the look but I probably should stop being a dumbass and give them a try. Sounds like it has potential.

Oovoo? Yahoo? MSN? Facebook?

URLs stopped "meaning" anything 15 years ago!

You can rank for hot sauce with gy9g1k.com if you have enough backlinks. Remember when Adobe.com came up #1 for "click here" because of backlinks for adobe reader?
 
One of my websites is an inverse domain. I chose the name more for branding purposes, but I'm hoping that it will give me at least a little automatic traffic for the keywords in the domain.
 
exact match domain always a good way to make money. Many people have success doing it and many are trying everyday. But remember .com better than .net better than .org better than .info. So try to find Exact match .com domain only
