Firstly, you need to take your keywords and find a domain name that includes your major keyword. The keyword in the domain name is vitally important and can make the difference when aiming for the number 1 spot. You may struggle to just get your keyword as a domain name. The majority of keyword only domain names are gone, which means you need to be more creative in your choice of domain name.

Always have the keyword at the start of your domain name, but then append it with another word. This could be something like tips, reviews, advice, help or anything like that. Try to avoid the word secret or secrets as they are much overused by the hype-marketers. It is best to go for a .com address as it has the widest possible appeal both to website visitors and your potential market of buyers. Avoid going for a local country domain unless your site is only targeting people from that country. If you really can’t find anything with a .com address then I would suggest looking at .info and possibly even .net at a push. Avoid .biz as those have had too much association with scammers.

With a bit of creative thinking you should easily be able to find a keyword rich domain name with a .com extension. Your major keyword here would be something like “weight loss” or “stop snoring” or something similar, so you may end up with a domain name like "StopSnoringTipsForYou.com" or "WeightLossDietAdvice.com" or something similar. You can see how it contains your major keyword plus some other words in order to create a memorable domain name that will rank well for its chosen keywords.

As you are planning to flip your site fairly quickly, you really need to create a new email address in Googlemail, Yahoo or Hotmail and create a new domain registrar account at www.namecheap.com. The reason for this is that you can’t transfer domain names for 60 days after they have been registered. Obviously, this is not particularly useful for your buyer. You can push them between accounts on the same registrar, but not everyone has an account on every registrar. By creating a brand new email account and registrar account for the domain you can hand over the passwords to the buyer and they have instant access to their purchase and full control over it. You are not compromising the security of your sites by allowing them access to any part of your business nor are you making them wait for the domain transfer to happen. This simple touch makes you look much more professional in your site sales and can be a major factor in making sure the site sells.

When you are designing your website, you must make sure you keep in mind the fact that it is going to be bought and owned by someone else. This means that if you do any manual coding, to make sure you document it. You should also make it as easy as possible for your buyer to put their affiliate ID’s in place of yours on the site. This may mean using PHP Includes in order to keep the affiliate ID’s in one file rather than having to change lots of files. It may mean including some search and replace software which will change the affiliate ID’s in all of the files within the webpage.
