I am not talking about cybersquatting as such, but buying domains that sound like a “NEW” website from a well established organisation. My particular niche is UK government sites. Any new site that the government comes up with end in .gov.uk so .com .org is usually always available so i register the same site or similar sounding sites. i always park the domain and it always gets nice traffic and revenue. some sites earn $10 a month and other $100 a month but these are “fresh” registrations so i pay approx $6 a year to register. Take a new government venture called “train to gain”, it’s a government backed sites that offers NVQ qualifications to employees etc. Don’t forget in this niche the government spends thousands on advertising etc so you don’t even have to do any seo for your domain.

I find it funny when the iphone came out as everyone regged as many iphone sounding domains as possible and crossed their fingers on getting traffic. dont go general, KEEP IT SIMPLE AND KEEP IT NICHE.thousands of people have wasted money regging iphones or mac-book domains. You will then be competing with everyone else’s iphone domain and your site will be watered down. imagine a silly sounding domain name called www.train2gain.com making $100 a month parked? well its does. Think niche and out of the box as most people are in the box and competing with thousands of domains
