E627: Last year, exact match domains (EMDs) - domains that have your exact keyword in them - were going viral.
Domains like:
BuyLaptopsOnline .com CheapAirConditioners .com BestRunningShoes .com
This was all from one Semrush affiliate ranking #1 for Semrush Blackfriday using blackfridaysemru .sh
People thought it was the exact match domain.
People said Google lied and EMDs were effective.
Nobody challenged these findings… until now.
I don’t think it was the exact match domain.
Instead it is something that requires a dramatically lower time and money investment.
Something way easier…
Which anybody can do.
