Easy Money Making Website

In this lesson we will use the keywords that we found using Wordtracker in Lesson 1 to choose a domain name.

A domain name is the address on the Internet for your web site (also called a URL - or "earl").  For example:  the web site www.bluehost.com has a domain name of bluehost.com.  You will look for a domain name that will become your web site address.

A web hosting service is where you will store the web pages that you will create so that they can be seen over the Internet 24 hours a day and seven days a week.  When you have created your web pages we will "upload" them to your web host where they will be available for people to visit.

Often, a domain name will be registered with one company at an annual fee and web hosting will be obtained from another for another fee.  I use Blue Host because they offer a free domain name registration when you sign up for web hosting for 12 or 24 months (saves you $10 to $20 right off the bat). 

Plus, in addition to free domain name registration, Blue Host is among the most inexpensive web hosts available.  Blue Host also allows you to host unlimited web sites (with different domain names) on this one account - that is going to save you a bundle of money when you build more and more money making websites.

So, now that you are armed with your list of keywords from Lesson 1 you will have to pick one to build your website around.  I am going to start showing you one of my websites so we can use it as a case study for picking a domain name and building a website around it.

Visit my website Best Scooters Mileage now - you'll notice it is not fancy or high tech but it still makes money every single day.  The domain name for this website is bestscootersmileage.com (yes, just like you would type into a web brower without the www in front).

Let me explain why I picked this domain name.  I found in my Wordtracker research that people were typing "best scooters mileage" into the search engines every day and that it had a high KEI (remember we talked about that in Lesson 1).   Because this was the exact phrase they used to type into the search engine, that is the phrase I wanted to use for my domain name.  That will give me instant visitors because a search engine like Google will serve up a website in the search results based on how well the title and the domain name matches what is typed into the search box.  This instantly puts my website in front of other scooter related websites not using this particular term in their text.  You could say that I am targeting that particular term.

Now that I have picked my keyword phrase that I'm going to target "best scooters mileage", I have to find out if I can get that as my domain name.

This is where you will take your chosen keyword phrase and go to Blue Host in order to search for your domain name.  Do that now - go to Blue Host and click Sign Up Now.

In the box on the left of the screen titled New Clients, type in a domain name you might like to have (based on your chosen keyword phrases).  Be warned, you may have to try a number of different variations or even choose several different keyword phrases before you manage to get the one you want but don't give up, just keep trying.  Select the privacy option to keep your information private.

Some tips on domain name searches:

• if you cannot find the EXACT keyword phrase as your domain name, try to shorten or lengthen it (for example "best scooters mileage" keywords could create domain names "thebestscootermileage.com" or "getbestscootersmileage.com")
• stay away from hyphens and underscores in your domain names unless there is no other option available to you
• try to get the .com version of the domain name (you may be asked if you want to get .net or .org and so on but try to get the .com)
• try to keep the domain name under 15 to 20 characters in length

Once you have been successful in getting a domain name that is available, continue with the sign up for a Blue Host account.
