What is EMD?

EMD

Exact match domain

Well, EMD is not the typo error for EDM which means “electronic direct mail” or “electronic direct mailer” and email marketing in layman’s terms.

EMD means Exact Match Domain

EMD is for a SEO technique and many people believe that you can get higher ranking in Google with EMD. However, EMD is not a new idea or technique.

The late Corey Rudl used it in his Internet Marketing Course and Dr Ken Envoy of Sitesell.com recommended it in his course. So it is not a surprise that many internet marketers have snapped up most if not all of the .com EMD for popular search terms.

How to Look for Profitable EMD

You will need a keyword research tool. A popular keyword tool is the Google AdWords Keyword Tool. If you are looking for keywords related to your interest or hobby e.g. photography, in particular some vintage rangefinder cameras, then you can enter a keyword into Google search box and see what search phrases are suggested by Google. And you have “vintage rangefinder cameras” there. So the EMD for you could be www.vintage-rangefinder-cameras.com!

If the .com version of the domain you wanted to rgister is not available, then you may consider to register an .org or .net. Personally, I prefer .org domain for EMD.
