Not so. There are still plenty of 2 and 3-word generic keyword domain names available for registration out there. The trick is to find them.

Case in point: WholesaleFlour.com.

I found this using the Estibot Long-Tail tool, and hand registered it. I had AEIOU.com make a minisite for it, and it went to position #5 on Google for “wholesale flour” within a few weeks of going live.

Today I received an inquiry through the contact form on the website:

We own a cookie company called ****** LLC. We go through hundreds of pounds of flour each week. Is it possible we can get a rate sheet from you and do you deliver. Thanks.

It’s a minisite for chrissakes. Why isn’t it a website for a flour wholesale company? Because they a) don’t know about the power of domain names and never registered it, b) they don’t know about the power of domain names and are not willing to cough up enough to make me a decent offer for the name.

Let’s say wheat flour costs about $50 per 100 pounds. These guys wanted to order hundreds of pounds per week, say 500 pounds. That’s $250 per week. Multiply that by weeks in a year (52) and you just closed missed a $13,000 deal because you didn’t own the domain name.

That’s the power of domain names: They are the seed of business. Even hand registered ones.

I got inspired and just searched for more available names using the Estibot Long Tail and Available-Plus tools. I regged some, including BuyFlour.com. Not bad, considering this:

Flour prices going up: Pizzerias buying flour like white gold

I also searched for more Wholesale related names, regged a few including LanyardsWholesale.com. Here’s a list of some that I found. They are still available for registration. Enjoy!
