Quickie Google Ranking Experiment

I keep a spreadsheet in google docs of all my keyword/niche research…. I spend a couple of hours a week sorting through all my ideas and finding out if a niche will be  profitable or not…  Before Google supposedly changed their algorithm to NOT give a keyword rich domain name advantage,  I searched to see if the keyword rich domain was available to register or not…   Needless to say I have quite a few keyword rich domain names collecting virtual dust.  I am going to do an experiment.   I actually have a keyword rich domain that is a .com….  unusual I know..  the numbers look like this:

5400 search according to Google

336K Competition

The top 3 domains have a PR of 4,2,4 respectively….

I am going to install wordpress on the domain…. do some link work and see what happens.

There are people who think that the new algorithm change is all hype… that it only effects new domains.   If I have the .com for a keyword rich domain with the above stats,  according to the old algorithm,  I should be able to rank quickly?    I have heard people ranking with a .com and had ZERO content…. so we will see… I am not going to make the site pretty at first… just a simple install of wordpress… not optimized in any way… then do some backlink work…  I will post the results to members of my email list in the next couple weeks… I will keep them updated on it’s progress.

These numbers are from June 4, 2010 when I did the research.  TheNicheBlogger teaches not to proceed with a domain that has such high competition (366K)  but the game changed…. so we will see what happens.
