How are you appraising word1word2 new gTLD names with high monthly search volumes?
Background: recently a fellow domainer submitted name, something like airtickets.cheap (I am using my domain name as an example, as I do not have their permission to use their name here, but it is very very similar) to the new gTLD appraisal thread, which I am runnnig in Domain Appraisal section. Normally I think I have pretty clear ideas, but in this particular name I am not sure...is it 5k name or is it 100k name?
The reason for this uncertainty is following: in Google Words Planner, the string "cheap airtickets" has huge monthly search volume, which is in 1M - 10M range.
That means that there is at least 1M of searches MONTHLY. Afaik if that would be 1 worder, the name would get lower hundreds, maybe thousands of visitors monthly (this very much vary, but usually there is a direct correlation, at least in names I am testing in my portfolio). But what about 2 worders, like example above? Will they get traffic as well, will it be valuable traffic and will it be valuable for end users, if such site is developed? What about reversed order?
I am testing this and very similar names at the moment, but I registered them only recently, so will know answer in few months - and even then it will not be an answer about the part of the question reg. development, it will only answer the part about traffic to undeveloped domain name which is parked.
In general, huge traffic can be very good in justifying the price of the domain name, particularly when connected with good parameters of EPC and RPM.
So what do you think about names like above, how would you appraise it, and why? Thanks
