    Hey I just bought a domain www.a-free-sample.com and was wondering what would be the best strategy to make a quick profit? I used 2 of the most searched terms on google in the domain name."sample" is still a pretty popular keyword 27.1k searches per month. "free" has over 414 million per month And i thought the www.a-free-sample.com kinda sticks in your head, like real simple to remember.

    I also own www.goteve.com that alread has alot of organic traffic. Any suggestions?

    Thanks !

    Hi Jeff,
    You have a great domain name that lends itself to many opportunities. My first thought would be to join an affiliate program & choose companies that offer free trials/samples. You could focus on a certain area of software, or build it out by topic area such as games, photography, etc. It all depends on how much time you'd like to invest.

    It's something that could start small & you could add content as you have time. And when you add topic areas, you could also provide links to communities that focus on that topic. That way people would download the trial, then have somewhere to go share ideas with others.

    Other readers may have ideas too,
    Connie

    To the lay person, choosing a domain name can be confusing, this article contains some useful tips which some people will no doubt find useful. Another useful blog post I found on the matter can be found under the title What's in a Name. Check it out.

    Great advice here, especially #2. So many people ignore this one. However, it may not be a bad idea to get a domain that has more specific relation to your niche, especially if you're not well known yet, in addition to the one that is branded.
