    Find URLs by Type-In Traffic

    how to find valuable domain names

    This Web tool allows you to search for available domain names by entering a keyword or phrase which it will then use to look for similar or related terms. It then checks that domain’s availability, and then gives you a list of all available domains, related domains, as well as how often that term is searched for every month.

    The aim is to get urls that will benefit from ‘type-in traffic’ For example, when someone types in ‘fastcars.com’ into the browser window instead of searching for it in a search engine.
