Strong domain name, . How'd you get it?

Thanks, I'm very happy I was able to acquire it. It was being used by another job board, but I noticed their site hadn't been updated in a while so I offered to buy it for a reasonable price. Besides it being memorable and giving immediate 'weight' to the brand, my hope was that it would also help me rank for the search term "startup jobs". It seems to be working as it's already included on the first Google SERP for most people. Hoping to be neighbours soon (AngelList has a very solid #1 spot.)
smart move! How much did you pay (if you feel comfortable sharing)?
Maker
I'd rather not share that at this point. Perhaps someday :)
100% a-ok! 😃
let's rephrase this: did you feel comfortable paying the price? What factors do you take into account when you buy / register an account name. You already mentioned branding and SEO ranking. Are there any other things?

Excited to share Startup Jobs with the PH community! 🙌 Startup Jobs is a search engine for startup jobs. Every day we crawl 1.000's of startup sites to check for new job openings. At any given time we list around 35,000 job openings ranging from junior designer jobs to startups looking for a CTO. There's a powerful -powered search engine which lets you find exactly the job that fits you. Some example searches: The site might look familiar to some. About two years ago I started jobs section on BetaList called . It seemed like a good way to kickstart a job board and add an additional revenue model. Since then I've made a lot of improvements. The site now feels grown up enough to warrant its own brand so I've recently decided to spin it off into its own brand. Some of the updates include:
  • Improved design that's also optimised for mobile
  • Better performance (faster front-end and back-end)
  • Job collections ( )
  • Saved searches / email alerts (in beta)
Shout out to for sharing everything he learned building , the community for their feedback, for powering the blazing fast search, for taking care of BetaList so I could focus my efforts on Startup Jobs, and all the Startup Jobs customers for enabling me to bootstrap the business. Looking forward to your feedback!
Hey Marc, job boards are quite an interesting business model. Good job! 👍😊 Similarweb says you are getting quite a bit of search traffic already. How did you manage to rank it this well?
Maker
The site was hosted on a different domain until recently. So the reason you see a traffic jump from zero to something in a short amount of time is because that's when I switched the site to the new domain. In reality it took about two years to grow the site to where it is today. Unfortunately there are no short cuts.
Ah, so you were able to port the Google cred (DA or whatever) to the new domain then... May I ask how many paid job posts you get? And how you handle the tradeoff between scraping all the jobs and thus posting them for free vs the paid posts?
Maker
Yeah I'm using 301 redirects so I keep the 'SEO juice' I built on on the previous URLs. To answer your second question: paid job posts rank higher. Long-term I plan to mimic Google Search's model where we aim to include all relevant content, but display paid posts more prominently.
How are you separate "startup company" and regular company? I see on your site the company Booking.com. Is it still a startup?
Maker
Good question. I use a broad definition of startup. In the future I'll add a filter so you can choose to just see early-stage, late-stage, etc.
cool, thanks
Very nice, do you source content from company sites individually (eg Netflix, Medium) or do you rely on other aggregators?
Maker
The job posts are sourced from the individual startups' career sites. This is more work, but it ensures we have the most up-to-date information.
What countries do your project include?
Maker
Hi Marc, I'm wondering, have any of the startups ever complained since you are scraping the jobs from their sites and displaying them on your own? Of course 99% will probably be glad that you help distribute their job listings, but I'm just wondering if there are any companies that are "weird" about it since ultimately you are taking this content without their explicit permission, and not just linking to it, but actually copying it to your own site where they don't have complete control over how it's presented.
Maker
Good question. I've received some inquiries from people confused how they job listings ended up on the site, but when I explained the concept almost all of them were happy staying included. Job listings benefit from being distributed as their goal is to attract (qualified) applicants. This is very different from for example blog posts where copying would potentially lead to a loss in revenue, etc. As for having control on the contents of job posts: that's a valid concern, but I think we've got a pretty good solution for that. We copy the job description directly from the company's site and keep it updated. So if they make a change, that change will be reflected on Startup Jobs within 24 hours. If they delete the job post, we remove it as well. This way companies retain control over their job listings and we guarantee our job seekers they aren't wasting their time on outdated listings.
Great stuff like always. Thank you for doing this, Marc.
Maker
Thanks 🙌
Looks sharp and fast interface.. very nice filters 👌🏻 Congrats with the launch!
Maker
Thanks Edwin!
UI/UX looks awesome. Great job. 👏 As an evolution of this it would be interesting to have the product help you apply for the job as well. Maybe link your Product Hunt and Indie Hackers account to show accomplishments that a typical resume wouldn't capture. Cool idea.
Maker
That's an interesting idea! I'd have to talk to more recruiters to better understand their needs, but I can imagine the standard PDF resume isn't the most effective way of doing business.
