Domain Names That Will Make Money Online

From time to time I visit GoDaddy.com to shop around for domain names. Usually, I buy the domain names, but today instead of buying the domain names I like, I have made a list of them below so you can buy them instead!

Here is a list of available domain names that I know will make money online if someone put a little time, effort and energy towards building up the blog.

  • HOUSEREPAIRBLOG.COM – a blog that offers articles, guides and walkthroughs on many common home repairs.
  • CLOCKWORKBLOG.COM – a blog that offers reviews, links and references to many special promotion pages that give people great deals on watches.
  • SCHOOLWORKHELPERS.COM – A community driven site by moms, dads and students that is designed to help other school students in need.
  • SCHOOLTUTORBLOG.COM – A simple blog that provides a quick and easy way for people to find a tutor in their area. Offers many school related products that will enhance and improve education.
  • STUDYGUIDEBLOG.COM – A perfect site for those who want to sell products that enhance or improve a child’s education. Self help books, Leap Frog products, etc… sky is the limit.
  • BLOGABOUTART.COM – A simple blog that does just that… writes about art. This blog can be monetized with many art related products such as brushes, paint, self help books, etc…
  • FURNITUREDISCOUNTBLOG.COM – When I was active with ReviewMe.com for some reason that most of the people that wanted me to do reviews were for discount furniture. There is must be a huge market for this! The name explains the blog.
  • KITCHENANDCOOKING.COM -A perfect name for a blogger who enjoys the kitchen and cooking. Killer money to be made selling small appliances, kitchen aids, and more. * 10/31/07: We has some registration wars on this name! Congrats goes to Mark Sierra on the acquisition on this awesome domain name. K-InTheHouse, you have to be quick! Mark is becoming a domain name junkie! :)
  • * Oops! PLANEYOURVACATION.COM – I am really beginning to wonder why I do this. These domain names are hot and this one is no exception! Plan your vacation, get discounts on airfare, go on a cruise. This domain name could be resold instantly for a lot of money!
  • FISHINGBOAT(S)BLOG.COM – I hate fishing, but thousands of people enjoy it. Fishing boats are expensive and blogging about them will make you money!
  • SPECIALOFFERSBLOG.COMA very brandable and generic name with no limitations. Blog about thousands of special offers. Congrats to Christine Senter with the purchase of this amazing domain name! I know that you’ll do well with it when it comes time to launching and development!
  • PRODUCTSUPPORTBLOG.COM – Connect readers with thousands of articles, guides and references that provide support for many popular products.
  • BUYERSGUIDEREVIEW.COMI am a real nice guy for doing this! These domain names are hot. This domain name can be used to launch a huge buyers guide and product reviews site. Tons of money to be made here!. David Cooley snagged this one up within minutes! Nice work!
  • TOYSANDGAMESBLOG.COMA blog that offers discounts on popular toys and games for kids. Congrats goes out to Mark Sierra on the acquisition of this wonderful domain name. I wish you well with the success of the wonderful site you’ll be creating!
  • BABYPRODUCTDISCOUNTS.COM – Babies are expensive. I have three kids and when they were babies, I was always looking for great deals on baby products.

I hope you enjoyed this article. I did an article like this a few months ago and today was equally difficult as I am drooling over these domains. At the time of writing this article, every domain name listed above is available. These are all domain names that I feel very confident that they’ll make you money.

If you end up registering one or more of these domain names, drop me a comment and let me know… I would like to bookmark it and keep an eye on your development. Additionallly, I will edit this article and make the name(s) link directly to your newly developed site! I look forward to reading everyone’s comments whether you buy any of these domain names or not.

Now that’s not funny. I have made it a week without buying a Domain Name and here you go stirring up the fire. Not funny man. I am not going to buy a domain today…I am not going to buy a domain today….especially BUYERSGUIDEREVIEW.COM….I am not going to…be right back…..

2 Garry Conn { 10.30.07 at 12:26 pm }

You think this is difficult for you? PlanYourVacation.com looks pretty tempting! :) I want to plan my vacation… lol

… wow you really did snag BuyersGuideReview.com, it no longer available. :(

… thats way cool, you are pointing it to ProductReviewsBlog.com. Nice work David, very smart idea!

3 David Cooley { 10.30.07 at 12:30 pm }

Sorry, had to run an errand. Strangest thing happened, like the cookies in the grocery store that leap into the basket, I found this domain name in my cart.
buyersguidereview.com

4 Garry Conn { 10.30.07 at 12:32 pm }

LOL!! Nice work man! I updated the article and gave you some instant CHECKOUT link love. :)

5 Garry Conn { 10.30.07 at 12:35 pm }

Oops!!! I can’t tell you how much money I have wasted in the past purchasing mis-spelled domain names. I am laughing my ass off… look at my post:

(PLANE)YourVacation.com < — LOL!!! I guess I had airplanes on my mind, go figure! :)

6 Jason { 10.30.07 at 12:39 pm }

This is the exact reason I have to stop myself from going and searching to see what I may find. My window shopping technique never works. Its just too easy to go in and grab a couple. Usually when its time to renew a domain I end up having to renew 2 the following year. :-)

7 Garry Conn { 10.30.07 at 1:06 pm }

Jason I know the feeling all to well. :)

Luckily most of mine are at a minimum set up on WordPress and have a few posts on them and score enough dough to pay the the annual cost and more.

8 Vishal { 10.30.07 at 1:30 pm }

good post. i think the Internet is ready for a new TLD of .blog
- what say? also, some of the suggestions you have listed will probably not do well as blogs but as a directory. a blog is more interactive like a forum of sorts and some of the subjects / domains will not have the blog type of potential.

9 Garry Conn { 10.30.07 at 1:48 pm }

Vishal,

Man that would be awesome! What a wonderful thought and idea. Ok, so how do we start the TLD? I am totally game. :)

I got…

Garry.blog
money.blog
blog.blog
web.blog
search.blog
makemoney.blog
tips.blog
a.blog

… lol, the list goes on and on… I would honestly buy .blog domains! Why not?

A little bit off topic, but I have to say that I am very pleased with the PR update. Within one hour of writing this post, its already indexed in Google. :)

Man… thanks a lot Google, you guys are awesome!

10 JC Carvill { 10.30.07 at 1:54 pm }

wow…thanks for sharing this list with us. You are for sure amazing at doing this. Thanks again.

11 Taylor Blue { 10.30.07 at 1:55 pm }

can you help me Gary?? I need a good domain name for my celebrity blog…one that is sure to get hits….can you help me???

12 JC Carvill { 10.30.07 at 1:56 pm }

What great tips…I think you are right though that a money making blog shouldn’t be on a free hosting site. That does look kinda tacky. Thanks for these tips!!

13 Jason { 10.30.07 at 2:04 pm }

Oh yea I’m in on that. I just want milliondollar.blog Everyone come and post an article for $1 limited to just the first 1 million entries. Has anything like that ever been done? HA HA

14 David Cooley { 10.30.07 at 2:06 pm }

I went to update my Domain Name sheet, and realized I have been slacking, I have several names I bought in the last 60 days I need to work on, lol.

15 Garry Conn { 10.30.07 at 2:09 pm }

David,

A lot of people buy domain names and then do the sedo domain name parking. I really feel that if you are going to buy a domain name but sit on the project for awhile, just take an extra hour, set up WordPress and write a few posts and monetize it. I am sure that sucker would make quite a bit of money annually. Even if it only made $50 bucks… who cares? :)

16 Kyle Eslick { 10.30.07 at 2:19 pm }

GREAT post Garry!

I’ve been doing some domain shopping this past month as I try to branch out a little bit.

Now that I’ve got 5 blogs up and 3 of them running, I’ve made a habit of going to GoDaddy everyday and just doing some shopping for anything interesting. As I’ve talked about before on my site, I will only buy dot com domains, but to each their own :)

I think it is great you did this and hope you choose to do this again in the future. :D

17 David Cooley { 10.30.07 at 2:45 pm }

Although I have used Sedo and several others, I have seen better results with patience. I tried Parking, and I tried slapping together something. Then I did something totally out of the box, I did nothing. Buy a name let it sit for 60-90 days and it seemed to stabilize faster, the results also change depending on how I set the site up, as a blog or as a website.

18 Garry Conn { 10.30.07 at 3:20 pm }

@ Taylor Blue,

Is this the site you are referring to? If so, then I would just rock and roll with it man. Its a PR4 its on Blogger, you can use Adsense and other programs… and it seem to be working for you. I would leave it alone and start another blog.

@ Kyle,

Thanks for the encouragement buddy! It is a lot of fun to do these posts… I joke around and say its frustrating to let all these domain names go, but honestly, I think it would be cool to see people snag some of these domain names and retire early because of them. :)

@ David,

Are you saying when you purchase a domain name just to leave it alone and point it nowhere? In a way that makes sense… talk more about that. I am interested in learning more about that strategy.

19 Taylor Blue { 10.30.07 at 3:51 pm }

Thanks Gary…I”m a dudette!! But thanks for the encouragement. I have been thinking of moving it to a dot com but not sure if I should change the name…you made me feel lots better. :)

20 Garry Conn { 10.30.07 at 3:55 pm }

Opps…I am so sorry about the dudette!!!

I have to sit back and think about what I would do if I were in your position. I know for a fact that a Blogger.com blog can be monetized just like any other blog. You’re in a better position than if you have a WordPress.com blog (the free one) where you’re not allowed to monetize it. I believe Blogger.com allows you to get your own domain name, but it might be tricky with re-directing you link juice, PR establishment, etc… without losing it.

How is your traffic? What kind of people do you attract to the site? What are your goals with this site? Are you looking to make money from it or are you looking for popularity? I would love to learn more and I will be happy to help you. Shoot me another comment or I also invite you to email or IM me. GarryConn [@] Gmail.com :)

21 tony { 10.30.07 at 3:57 pm }

maybe I’m the one who is slow but I think I’ve just learnt something new here.it is hard setting up a new site from scratch especially if I want to monetise it immeadiatly.

can you lead me to where I can buy good domain names with pr and especially were blogs?

i only need 3 so I can work on my online project.

22 Garry Conn { 10.30.07 at 4:00 pm }

@ Tony,

You can speak with me about established domain names. I have quite a few and in the past I have worked out some really nice deals for bloggers. Tell me more about what you are looking to do and lets see if I can provide some solutions for you. You can contact me directly if you like either by email or IM at GarryConn [@] Gmail.com. :)

23 Ad Tracker { 10.30.07 at 4:08 pm }

Damn you Gary Conn! I have managed to stay away from BustAName.com for over a month… until today. You’ve got me shopping again… GRRR!

24 Garry Conn { 10.30.07 at 4:10 pm }

Ha Ha!!! Its a pleasure sharing my pain with you! :) Hey, shoot me a comment and let me know if you get any of the above names and I’ll update the post and provide a direct link to your new site(s). If fact, if any of the above names inspired you to get something similar, I can even write, “This Domain Name inspired Ad Tracker to get…. yourname.com, etc… ” :)

25 Taylor Blue { 10.30.07 at 5:15 pm }

that is so nice of you to be willing to help!!! I’ll send you an email STAT!

26 Garry Conn { 10.30.07 at 6:08 pm }

Taylor I got your email, jump on YIM and I’ll speak with you in a bit. :)

27 David Cooley { 10.30.07 at 7:03 pm }

Garry, Yes that is exactly what I was saying. I have bought more domains than I can work on at one time. I used to park them and that did not really do anything for me. I can register, setup and have a domain live and in the Google Index in a couple of days, but unless I have a good amount of content to start with it seems I get better results just waiting and letting the domain sit.

28 Garry Conn { 10.30.07 at 7:09 pm }

David,

Do you think it does harm to have a domain site live with out much content? I can understand how if you run a domain name in a blog format that there could be some concerns with that. However, if you were to launch a one page domain name web site, I am curious if that would be a great means for establishing the site compared to just keeping the domain name off line for a few months prior as you are mentioning.

29 Christine Senter { 10.30.07 at 7:29 pm }

Way to go, Garry. You’re the only person I know who can start a virtual stampede. LOL

I’m not a big domain name buyer, but every time you post one of these articles, I get an urge, kinda like a gambler passing by Vegas.

@ Dave,
I envy you the ability to sit on a domain. I get itchy if I can’t get a new domain up and running the day I buy it. LOL

@ Tony,
I can guarantee you that Garry makes some neat deals for pre-established domains. Also, he’s always true to his word. If he says he’s going to do something, he’ll do it. :o )

30 David Cooley { 10.30.07 at 7:38 pm }

Garry, I think you have to think of the search engines, bots and crawlers in terms of training. If you launch a site in a blog format, they expect to see some movement, if you then let it sit you have just trained them not to trust you. If you launch a one page web site with no leaf pages, it can be the same result. However, by just letting a domain sit, what harm is there, except that the domain is aging? So I think just putting something out there is a lot worse than putting nothing out there.

31 Garry Conn { 10.30.07 at 7:57 pm }

@ Christine,

Ah Sucks! :) < <– edit: lol @ Christine …. “Ah SHUCKS!!! :)

People are going to think that I paid you to say all these nice things! lol

@ David,

Well said man… If you can’t roll out the project, its best to leave it off line. I am totally in the business of “robot” training, so this does make sense! :)

32 Christine Senter { 10.30.07 at 8:08 pm }

Well, they might have until you forgot to put the “H” in shucks. Now, they’re going to think my comment “sucks”. LOLOLOL

33 Joost { 10.30.07 at 8:09 pm }

@David and Garry
The older a domain name is, the more ‘authority’ it gets. Even if it is just a one- or two page site. Google also looks at the age of a domain name and its website when ranking them in the SERPs.
One of our local competitors ranks higher than we do for a specific search phrase. If you look at all aspects governing those specific SERPs we outrank them in every way, except for two: domain name (they have part of the phrase in their domain name, the reason why the above domain names are so interesting) and, more importantly, age (their website is 5 years old and ours has its first anniversary coming up).
Even though their site is cr*p in SEO terms their site ranks higher than ours and that just eats me up!
Btw: one of the reasons a good domain name helps SEO is that the link text of most links to your website will use your url. This means that if you have the domain name makingmoneyonline.com, many of the links to your website will be keyword rich. So, in that respect, websites with domain names like dgfmedia.net or garryconn.com will have to make more of an effort to get keyword rich links texts.

34 MIke Pedersen Golf { 10.30.07 at 9:27 pm }

Man…I can’t believe how long this thread is Gary! I own over 600 domains in one niche, and need to monetize them now…LOL. I like the ones you’ve shown in your post. Believe it or not, with a little creativity, you can still find good domain names.

35 MIke Pedersen Golf { 10.30.07 at 9:27 pm }

Oops! I spelled your name wrong :( “Garry”…

36 Garry Conn { 10.30.07 at 9:42 pm }

Hey Mike,

I hear that you had an awesome phone conversation with the CyberCoder. David is a great guy and I look forward to seeing some of the things you guys talked about get executed. 600 domain names in one niche! Wow… that is worse than me with my airplane niche! Nice Work!!! Cha’ Ching!!!

I look forward to helping you further. David in many ways is a partner and together we have a nice little “Check and Balance” system between us. So, lets see what we can do to continue with helping you.

37 Mike Pedersen Golf { 10.30.07 at 9:49 pm }

Garry,

David’s a great guy (so are you) and I really appreciate how giving you guys are. You are creating good kharma out there, and it will definitely come back to you.

Maybe I’ll have a HUGE success story for you guys :) !

Thanks,
Mike

38 Tech for Novices { 10.31.07 at 2:19 am }

Garry i know this unrelated but how did you like our domain name choice. Our blog has has lot of help from you since it started this August and now has 200 posts. So why not have your suggestion for the domain name also …

39 Symbian { 10.31.07 at 3:16 am }

These names are too long.

40 Mark { 10.31.07 at 6:54 am }

I couldn’t resist. I snagged up kitchenandcooking.com and toysandgamesblog.com. Woo-hoo!

@Mike:
600 DOMAINS!!!??? Wow, that’s incredible.

@Garry:
Does he have you beat? LOL

I think BLOGABOUTART.COM is good but I dont think I will buy it..
I dont have more time to focuss more on blogging now..

43 K-IntheHouse { 10.31.07 at 8:44 am }

Mark.. you beat me to kitchen and cooking! That really is an incredible domain name! I’m sure you’ll do a better job with it than I could. :-)

Garry.. you have just gone out of your way to show us how helpful you are! Hope to see another one of these domain name suggestions.

44 Mark { 10.31.07 at 11:55 am }

Sorry about that, K! I don’t know about doing a better job, but I’m going to give it the old college try. :)

45 Garry Conn { 10.31.07 at 12:16 pm }

@ David,

Thanks for the mention of this post on your blog. :)

@ Shy Guy,

I know the feeling all too well!

@ K-InTheHouse,

Some hard competition there bud! Mark is becoming the next “Bill Gates” of the domain name registration business! lol!!!

@ Mark,

Congrats on the purchase of the two domain names. I know that they will be successful for you! Scroll up on the comments and you’ll see some discussion about parking domain names VS launching VS just sitting on the domain name for a few months prior to going live.

46 Christine Senter { 10.31.07 at 12:21 pm }

Hey Mark,

Will you still remember us little folk when your all rich and famous?????

:)

47 Christine Senter { 10.31.07 at 12:26 pm }

Hey ya’ll,

Just an update to let you know that SpecialOffersBlog.com is no longer available. I just bought it.

I’ve got some ideas for it and thought what the hell.

48 Garry Conn { 10.31.07 at 1:57 pm }

Congrats Christine!! That was one of my favorites to…

Can I buy that one from you? :)

How much???

lol… Nice work, let me know when you go live with the site and if you need any help, you know who to ask. :)

49 Christine Senter { 10.31.07 at 2:40 pm }

Thanks hon. You had your shot at it. LOL

I’ve got some ideas for it, but we’ll see how it goes. I need to start looking for some design ideas. I have a few of those as well, but you and I may need to discuss that further.

50 Mark { 10.31.07 at 8:44 pm }

@Christine:
LOL I think you got it backwards. :) And if you need any image help with your new ideas, contact me. ;)

51 homemom3 { 11.01.07 at 1:21 pm }

I just wanted to add, while no I may not have bought a domain from Garry I have had a lot of help from him. A while back I was having some issues with godaddy and couldn’t get them to help me. Garry helped out, even did a 3 way call. Situation was fixed and I haven’t had an issue since. Thanks again Garry.

52 Howard Bowling { 11.01.07 at 1:28 pm }

It looks like a lot of you guys are really into good blog names.
I have TheGreenBlogger.com (All things GREEN are now GOLD) and TheXBlogs.com foe sale on my site.

54 Free Directory { 11.02.07 at 5:19 am }

Nice gesture Gary :) I recently went on a domain name buying spree & was surprised just how many good names still are to be had !

55 John Motson { 11.02.07 at 6:26 am }

Damn this is a long comments thread :) .

Congrats on all the folks that snagged the nice names, I especially like the kitchenandcooking.com

Very cool name!

I find these name list giveaways are a great thing, why sit on available names if you don’t want to reg them, better share them with people and maybe someone makes something out of them… good one Garry!

I also give away name lists over at xpird.com

Cheers

John

56 John Motson { 11.03.07 at 5:11 am }

Here is an excerpt of a list of domain names available at the time of writing that I regularly post on my blog. I hope someone registers some of these and makes good use of them. By the way, damn Garry, I just read some of your new posts… man you got a new reader / commenter in me from today. I guess I am one of your 10 per day :) .

This is one really interesting post with interesting and fun comments as well!!! Sad that I found it so late lol…

58 Collin - Affiliate Marketing { 10.11.08 at 7:20 am }

I was using this tool called register compass to find expired domains, expiring domains and auction domains based on keywords I wanted. I found one that fit into my dating blog niche that is ranked on page one of Google for a very big keyword and the site has over 5000 unique s a month. I have to wait until Monday before I can bid on it but so far its between me and one other guy. I doubt I will get it though because I am not willing to spend much to buy it. It would be cool though.

59 Kim { 10.11.08 at 6:42 pm }

I listened to a webinar one day, and the speaker suggested URL with ca call to action; kind of like Joel Comm’s last book. Before I knew it I bought a click-here.coms; like click-heremakemoney.com, click-herecreditcards.com…the idea is they have the call to action plus the keywords. Was that dumb?
