NEW YORK, NY – This year I purchased just one Internet domain name at NamesCon, and although a little long in length, I feel it’s a good match and good domain name that reflects exactly what my business does, so this name I acquired as an “end user”. I also purchased it at a very good price – Just $800 measly dollars; for that little I couldn’t see not grabbing it.
The domain name is InternetMarketingServices.com, which reflects exactly what my newer spin-off business provides and exactly what I have been providing for the last near twenty years through SEARCHEN®. The phrase has exact match search results on Google of 7,440,000 related pages and
7,000,000,000 broad match results. As far as cost per click it is seeing exact match clicks at $17.18 each.
It seems to be a good time to buy domains right now. If next year is any cheaper than this year, I won’t know what to think.
There is also another domain name that I purchased recently (well below market and not at NamesCon) that will place me right smack back into the middle of the exciting GEO Domain space and I will announce this acquisition soon although I may not release its acquisition price as I am doing with this one above, since not only do I wish to keep it private for later resale value, I feel it could sort of be a disservice to the industry; it’s a big U.S. place with close to a million people and it was pretty darn cheap. My intent will be to develop it and get it generating revenue as quickly as possible.
I do truly love the domain name business, I must admit. I don’t even know if it can be considered work anymore; it seems much more like play.

It is a very long domain.
Mark says
Great buy, John.
You will probably do very well with that domain.
I am surprised so many domainers didn’t drive up the price.
Snoopy says
Good name, wouldn’t say it is cheap but has potential for a 5-10k sale to an enduser.
Btw not sure on your google stats, searches shows as 2900 a month in the US on semrush. High CPC but very low competition so probably needs more research.
John Colascione says
Thanks snoop, I grabbed the numbers from what Estibot was showing, not sure how accurate it is (including its valuation which is about 25 times what I paid).
Snoopy says
I think Estibot is often too high on long names and too low on shorter names. The data being used is probably out of date, ie lots of long sales (mostly EMD’s) from 10+ years ago compared to a lot less of those names selling today.

Two things are being mixed up. If your talking indexed pages yeah 7 or 8 million with those terms but if your talking about what you put in the google search bar here are your the numbers are below. The indexed pages mean nothing as internet and marketing will always return big numbers. But the google search bar is another story.
Exact searches are about 240 per month. Always a big confusion on the difference. Must be able to master the adwords keyword tool to gauge the interest and value along with correct cpc cost with domains. Hope this helps. Never use outside sources adwords keyword tool is the only way to go.
