Thread: Opinions on this Domain

I just got the domain biodegradablesunscreen.info

I need some reviews on it - do you think it might make a good candidate for a small AdSense-ready site?

It gets around 8k searches/month, and $1.20 ad cost with medium competition. I looked at the first page, and while some authoritative sites were there, it didn't look too bad. It's also summer, so searches may increase.

I'm investing around $15 on the site itself (domain and articles). Do you think I should be able to earn it all back and make a worthy profit?

that's one long domain name mate!!

It is, but it's meant for the keyword - to access via search engines not directly.

Google does not differentiate between domain extension so basically if you do your SEO right you have as good chance to rank well with .info extension as you can with .com or .net

That's not true. Google does differentiate, specially .info's

The niche should also be good in the winter time for people travelling to Mexico and the Islands.

It seems to me that there's a lot of competition. Not that you can't 'seo' yourself to the first page. But the 7th-10th positions would receive approx 10% of the traffic. So with a 2% ctr, the revenue would be around $20 a month.

The domain isn't bad. Perhaps you could increase the traffic with targeting longtails, article marketing and with a sister site on

Code:

BiodegradableSunblock.org

I like the keyword. Not sure about .info

But my first thought was "what is biodegradablesunscreen"? Like I want my sunscreen to not degrade when exposed to the sun and water. And it looks like you are setting out to answer this kind of question which should help a lot with the long tail search rankings.

Sounds good Honestly, there doesn't seem to be too bad of competition, compared to some other keywords I've worked with. There are a few authoritative sites on the main page (Amazon, TripAdvisor, Yahoo), but the rest just seem to have gotten there by luck, some of which don't even have on-page SEO done for the keyword.

While Biodegradable Sunblock gets a lot less searches, I think that may not be a bad idea in terms of maybe cross-linking?

You may be right. Many of the pages are from travel tour sites.

I would do a one way sitewide from Biodegradable Sunblock to biodegradablesunscreen or in context links.
