Episode Details

E627: Last year, exact match domains (EMDs) - domains that have your exact keyword in them - were going viral.

Domains like:

BuyLaptopsOnline .com
CheapAirConditioners .com
BestRunningShoes .com

This was all from one Semrush affiliate ranking #1 for Semrush Blackfriday using blackfridaysemru .sh

People thought it was the exact match domain.

People said Google lied and EMDs were effective.

Nobody challenged these findings… until now.

I don't think it was the exact match domain.

Instead it is something that requires a dramatically lower time and money investment.

Something way easier…

Which anybody can do.
