“For a sanity check, compare your long tail phrase to the short tail to see what the difference is.”

Elliot,

This is a *very* good tip that I see a lot people miss.

Everyone should go reread that paragraph again and take pause.

Yes, you can rank and build visitor trust for the short tail, by using long tail domains. And if you’re into adwords, you’ll get paid more because you’re serving a mix of ads for the short tail and long tail. And if you sculpt your content right, you might serve ads only for the short tail.

Great article Elliot.

Speaking from the experience of selling 1000+ domains at a time on a few occasions, it’s not fun and I’d much rather be selling 1 good name!
