Is 63,000,000 hits good?

shinedown394 · 03-07-2008, 02:25 PM

I have a foreign word domain that gets 63,000,000 searches on google. Is it worth anything? I have a few others from 3 mill up to 40 mill.

A lot of google results (I guess you mean results not searches) does not always mean that it's a good domain but it's a good indicator.
If you have already registered them just post the names.

mosilager · 03-07-2008, 03:36 PM

well it certainly means the words you have are very popular, BUT it also means that you are probably going to be competing with a lot of websites should you try and develop it.

nielsencl · 03-07-2008, 04:59 PM

When you did the search in Google, what exactly did you use to search with?

netzilla · 03-10-2008, 01:34 PM

Also keep in mind that a search on google for keyword keyword is different from putting quotes around "keyword keyword".

Secondly, 63 million serps could be good and bad both. It indicates initially that there might be high competition but it also could indicate a saturated market. Without seeing the domain name its hard to say anything further.

Richard · 03-10-2008, 04:17 PM

Yep, put quotes and if you still have 63 million results that's probably good.

Jeff · 03-10-2008, 05:34 PM

They are not HITS (actual traffic) ... they are "search results", and as mentioned above the term or terms should be put within "quotation marks" such as this for more accurate Google search results count, IMHO.

Is it a .COM domain name? Does the foreign word jibe with the extension?

Any more information that you can share with us would be appreciated, as well.
Best of Luck.

I would just add one thing, 63 million hits even with quotes around it doesn't necessarily mean its good. For example, "however the" gets over 43 million hits, but I don't think that "howeverthe.com" is going to easily become a great website with clear development potential. If the thing with 63 million hits is something like "cash back" or "auto loans" or something that actually people are looking for and you can sell them something or make money with ads that send them somewhere else to buy something, then the 63 million number looks great. Good luck!

Have we mentioned the "h" word here, ie Hyphens. 63m without hyphens in quotations is a good result which none of us would mind getting for our many of our domains. A google result is just one of the metrics used to appraise domain names. Check out the appraisals thread and read comments about domain names posted.

If I searched for: the with out in I'd get 416,000,000 search results, because any web page containing any one of those words is included. Would it make a good domain? Of course not. Put the same words in quotes "the with out in" and you'd get zero results.

dax44 · 03-14-2008, 11:50 AM

Gene you are so modest - a Googlewhack and you didn't own up ..

Results 1 - 1 of 1 for "the with out in". (0.25 seconds)

I came up with 2 results, looks like "thewithoutin.com" just went up in value 100%! Better buy now as it's likely to keep rising in price

**Gene** · 03-14-2008, 12:12 PM

busted!

Pommy - The DN Doc · 03-14-2008, 12:19 PM

Anyway, whats the keyword? Only kidding! Discretion is often the best course....

nielsencl · 03-14-2008, 12:25 PM

Ok, would someone please tell me what the value is for a domain when the Google search results returns a big number?

What possible connection can search results have to domain value? It is not any indication of how many times the keyword or phrase is seached for.

No, not to me. The search results don't mean anything to me, what does is how many searches are being done for the phrase.

If I am missing something please let me know. :-)

That all depends on the keyword(s).

Its just a metric to see how much competition there is for a keyword(s). It doesn't always suggest high domain value. Its said in the seo world that if your domain is composed of a search keyword(s) it can possibly help boost your ranking in the serps and those domains tend to have more value and more of a selling market.

dax44 · 03-14-2008, 01:12 PM

There are some obvious situations where the search results will give you an indication of meaning and value - eg. a list of cvcv domains - clearly a anything getting 7 figure or more results is worth researching at least (and will usually mean something in a foreign language or be an acronym etc.) ..
