Is Wikipedia Among Your Domaining Tools?
So, my wife and I are about halfway done with building a house. We’re having one built just outside a booming suburb of Houston. It’s taken up a lot of my time and energy as of late, but it will be worth it. (<— excuse for lack of posts)
While researching ways to make our new house energy efficient, I came across an interesting Wikipedia article on the Passive House. This article is a great example on how you can search for new hot keywords on Wikipedia.
This idea originates in Sweden and Germany, and is otherwise known as Passivhaus. In short, it’s the idea of making your house energy efficient using passive means of heating and cooling. While reading the article, I was bombarded with new ideas and keywords that I haven’t heard before. Immediately, my Domainer-Sense (much like Spidey-sense) kicked in and I found myself checking to see if any of them were registered.
This article is loaded with info for a hot niche: green energy. Whether you trust in the accuracy of Wikipedia or not is moot, really. These articles can provide you with new avenues to research.
I took a screenshot and circled many keywords in the article: click here to view the image. (I’ve tried making a thumbnail and a nice popup, but it’s either too early in the morning or my mojo is rusty)
So, after reading the article you now have:
- New ideas to hand register domain names
- Recognition of keywords that will help you identify domain names on drop lists and auctions that other domainers may pass up
- Tons of extra content for an existing green site
- Several small niche ideas, such as a site about passive solar design or one about ground heat exchangers

Great post. Just goes to show that you should always be on the lookout for good domain ideas. There’s still a lot of good domains available for hand-registration.

Great idea. One thing that I like to do is take seed keywords from places like Wikipedia and other online places and then plug them into the Google Adwords Keyword Tool to find related keywords.
I also will use our Type-In Traffic Finder to use those words as seed keywords to plug into the tool (the tool uses real time data from the Google Adwords Keyword Tool) to then check to see if any domain names that match exactly to those keywords are available to hand register.
It really is amazing to be able to find some gems that are available to hand register. I have found some recently that have Google average monthly searches in the thousands and CPC’s of more than $5. The only limit is really your creativity in seeding different keywords into the tools.

This idea has great potential, but the png screenshot was useless, as it was too small.
***EDIT***
If you hover your mouse over it you will get a magnifying glass type icon with a + inside of it. When you click it will show the png to you in full size.
Thanks!
