So I was dinking around with the adwords and Google apis and I created this l33t domain name generator. located here
http://dev.shoemoney.com/public-tools/domainfinder/
Basically you give it a keyword for a niche that you are thinking about doing and it will query AdWords api (which I have unlimited calls atm) and the Google api to find popular searched for and high paying keyword phrases then it inserts hyphens and checks to see if the domain is registered.
Its pretty elite cause it will find the best possible domain for the keyword you give it. This should be a nice tool for those probloggers who are trying to make a living from niche blogging.
I am not sure how long I will leave it open to the public. In beta it was getting hammered pretty good and Im pretty sure Matt Cutts would dissaprove =P. I know he does not like the spammy-hyphen-domains.com
But honestly is this a bad thing? Curious to hear some of your comments/thoughts….
Here is a example for those who have not tried it-
For the keyword of roger it gave me roger-rabbit.com
For the keyword of fish it gave me animal-fish-general-pet.com
For the keyword of fluff it gave me marshmallow-fluff.com
For the keyword of google it gave me google-image.com (wow thats a pretty good one lol)
For the keyword of nextel it gave me new-nextel-phone.com
and so on…
Keep in mind these are not only suggested domains but they are domains that are available to be registerd.
I confirmed these results with the Yahoo Search Marketing (formally overture) db and they were all the top overture searched for phrases so I think this might be pretty useful (or dangerous) to the right person.
This is one of the best tools I have ever seen. I have already registered about 8 domains! Its finding some awesome domains for me. Awesome tool $hoemoney!
Great Tool man. I think even Matt Cutts might be impressed
HOLY COW SHOEMONEY this found a 400k overture term .com for me… thanks man for a sweet ass free tool
Respect Shoe!
Great tool ..
Hey thanks for the tool man.
Could tool Shoemoney. Can it find multi-word domains without hyphens?
I finally retrieved my Google API and now the tool is unavailable…Just my luck 🙁
tool unavaiable 🙁
of course it’s down! Shite!
fixed now 😉
okay i’m lame. How do I access my api key. I have an adwords account, but can’t find the “token”. I’ve looked on the page google tells me to look. Does everyone in adwords have the token?
I attempted to play with this tool and never recieved the emails. Is it down or am I not working properly. Once you have an API it is good for any part of google(maps, adwords…) right?
check your junk mail folder. I dont think Hotmail likes the way I format headers
I changed my hotmail spam settings and it works fine now. This is a pretty sweet tool. Hopefully I won’t go on too bad of a domain name buying spree. Anyways, thanks for the help and happy new year!
Because you do it wrong, and the message ID ends up in the body.
I like this tool. Is there any way to get the sourcecode from you?
Woah, sweet tool. If you could somehow have it output domain names without hyphens…and, say a list of the top 10, instead of just one…that would be really really sweet.
Thanks Again! It worked great! I went on a small domain buying spree–this can be addictive 🙂
Nice tool. Would it do domains without hyphens?
Thanks a lot! The code is great. It would be terrific if could be possible to query also the local/national databases…
Thanks again!
This is amazing – can’t believe the domain I found is still there!
Looks like a first class tool, just what I have been looking for. Is it still working though Because I have not received any emails yet?
Darn it, it kept saying that my key are invalid? does this still work?
Yup me too just says that it looks like my Google API key is invalid.
I know it works too.
Shoe?
ok API key is working again and your page says it will email me the results but I don’t get anything for about an hour now.
OMFG I found the great domain name for a business keyword that I’ll have to try and figure out somehow.
The only real distinction in between him and Hitler is his frizzy supervisor.
Does your site have a contact page? I’m having problems locating it but, I’d like to shoot you an email. I’ve got some suggestions for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it grow over time.
