How to find top Adsense keywords .COM domains with Overture

Posted by k | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 04-11-2007

Yes, it is still possible, though very rare. That’s why you’ll have to use some scripting to help you out. Here’s how to do it. Use the Domain Hunter tool, from my friend The Web Professor and load yourself with a list of your favored top niche adsense keywords. You can find some on this blog, but they are everywhere, as you know.

Insert the keywords on the form, choose “3 or less words” and tick “Include hyphenated names” and “Check All Combinations”. Check the “.com” box also, of course. Wait some seconds and you’ll find a list of available domains.

Now, the real trick: look ONLY to the “Hyphenated Domain” column and scan for domains which are taken in the Hyphenated format but are still free on their non Hyphenated format.

Congratulations, you have found yourself a great adsense domain. Go build a MFA asap! Here are some examples:

enterprise car rental (86640 OVT)
carrentalenterprise.com FREE
car-rental-enterprise.com TAKEN

free tattoo design (29151 OVT)
tattoodesignfree.com FREE
tattoo-design-free.com TAKEN

free porn pic (16738 OVT)
picpornfree.com FREE
pic-porn-free.com TAKEN

moving rental truck (32145 OVT)
rentaltruckmoving.com FREE
rental-truck-moving.com TAKEN

credit card offer (93754 OVT)
creditoffercard.com FREE
credit-offer-card.com TAKEN

Hurry up, while OVT lasts.

The Real Reason for the Google PageRank Nuke

Posted by k | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 25-10-2007

For long the PageRank toolbar has been reallocated from the search engine department to the play garden (serious), where they have those legos and giant balls and where staff goes to have a break, relax and have some fun.

Inside sources have confirmed me legos have been put aside this last couple of days and that people are really having fun with the toolbar. You think I am not serious? Let me spoil some of the next laughs: They hade downgraded John Chow, but not Shoemoney. Next week, it will be the inverse. And a week after that, John Chow will have PR3 one day and PR7 the next day and back to PR3 again, two days after.

Four months from now Google will come out and say: “We had told endless times before the green bar was not to take into account, but no one (Text-Link-Ads, ReviewMe, SponsoredReviews) seems to listen, so we had to take stronger measures. It was the only way we find to make people take us serious.

A friend told my they were inspired by this episode of the Office:

UPDATE: Four days later, I can now say I was absolutely right! Just change Shoemoney for ProBlogger and the text up there is almost 100% correct!

Miserable Failure meets Google Translate

Posted by k | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 23-10-2007

You might recall the most famous Google bomb of them all: “miserable failure“, that linked to George W. Bush’s White House biography, when you searched Google.

Well, now it’s Sarkozy, and so far, it seems no one is to blame. Load Google translate page and input the strings below (one at a time) on the French to English translation:

“sarkozy sarkozy sarkozy”
“sarkozy is chirac”

Very cute, isn’t it? Does this opens a window for SEO “translation” building?

I mean, the method is the same as link building on anchors, we just have to use Google LSI here. Any takers on the best tricks to use to make Google machine associate two foreign words togheter? Maybe two pages with title and keywords stuffed all over one on en.yourdomain.com and the other on zh.yourdomain.com? Let’s try it for long tail keywords and see how it works out.

I would to love have “Viagra” translated from Chinese to English into my own keyword: “Viiaagrish”. Which turns out to be my own domain Viiaagrish.com, with Viiaagrish title and keywords all over it. Dead easy to get Google top.

Google Hot Trends and Domain Kitting

Posted by k | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 16-10-2007

Since all the [dot]com gems are long taken, there’s only one way to nail a good new domain now-a-days: spotting the latest trends.

The first day I learned about Google new Hot Trends feature, I knew it was the perfect place to run a script on an hourly cron job. There’s even an xml feed included to make scrapping easy. (Although I find it later to have only one item with all the keywords)

It went down to my “to do” list. This week-end I was boring and decide to code it. To my surprise, domain kitters were already abusing the system as hell. Oh well, what was I expecting?!

It popped into my eyes, the moment I notice this fresh regs:

Did .cn domains broken Google index?!

Posted by k | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 02-10-2007

John C. Dvorak wrote about what every black hatter has been envying on last couple of weeks.

About this! This link tells you that Google has just indexed, on the last 24h, 77,000 spam .cn pages. Yes, you read it right, 77 thousand. Check it against dot info or dot edu and you’ll notice the difference.

One think to retain is that Matt Cutts himself has posted an update where he says:
“this spam was a little different than the typical brute force attacks that people have tried before (.be, .info, etc.) and that we were looking at making some infrastructure changes to better tackle any .cn issues we saw.” In other words: we’re getting now-where, in removing .cn spam.

Lesson to learn here: even though .cn domains can cost you only a couple of pennies, they are just TOO HOT to touch right now as Google may very well decide, on a last desperate move, to depreciate all .cn domains.

How to use Adsense on NameDrive parked pages and duplicate your income

Posted by k | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 25-09-2007

NameDrive has a new feature, where you can add a custom sales link URL to ALL your parked domains at once!

The new feature can be found on the user options page.
Login —> My Account —> User Options

If you scroll down, you will see it in the Parking options.
- Custom For Sale Link URL and
- Custom For Sale Link Text

The idea is to direct any sales enquiries to a specific page you have set up, like http://www.mydomains.com.

You can, however, use a more complex url like http://www.mydomains.com/specificdomain.com. In order to do this, you will use the variable [domain_name] in the link. The link format will be http://www.mydomains.com/[domain_name], or http://www.yoursite.com/domainsforsale.php?domain=[domain_name].

Next you will put in place a nice PHP script with information on each domain and sales price. Now, let the review process go, ND will visit your page and you’ll get the approval of the url!

Now this is where things start to get interesting because you can now, make “some” changes on your side.

First, add a nice .htaccess RewriteRule, to change

http://www.yoursite.com/domainsforsale.php?domain=sextapes.com

into

http://www.yoursite.com/sextapes.html

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/([0-9]+)\.html /domainforsale.php?domain=$1

Next change the domainsforsale.php into something like this:

$domain = $_GET['domain'];
$keyword = explode on "." and get part 1
$content = scrapwikipedia ($keyword);
(...)
add adsense script

You should now have a custom content and adsense page based on the keyword of your domain. Oh, and if you care to you can still keep the “this domain is for sale for ####” on the bottom of the page, just to avoid breaking ND TOS, but that doesn’t really matters, does it?

Also, on the “Custom For Sale Link Text” be sure the anchor text on the link is good for pass the review process and to your black hat intentions. Something like “More information” would work, but you can get more creative; keep in mind you can’t change this afterwards.
