There's not really a rule of thumb. It would really depend on the nature of the name. Something very computer specialized, i.e. bioinformatics.com, would most likely receive very few type-ins, whereas more consumer friendly sites i.e. sex.com would receive significant amounts of type-ins. For a regular consumer friendly name, 5-10% is likely a fair ballpark range.

edit: I've assumed we're talking about .com's here.

This is a loaded question if ever I saw it, who's saying its getting 300k overture?

If it is stop right there, I have a constant 75k (supposed) ovt results on a .com name which gets absolutely 0 type ins because there not real searches for the terms, I have 2, 20k ovt terms and various others I used to buy based on ovt results, one which peaks near 100k. Since I stopped and came to my senses, I have posted many times about how overture can often misrepresent searches in various ways and how it can be mislead by various parties.

If it really is (and adwords tools confirms a high score), then your looking at length and trends. People like to compare things, people like obvious terms, people like to see different things depending on what there searching for. Are they expecting to see pictures and movies? Can you hide the obvious typo with a banner? Are they expecting to see comparisons, is it in a profitable industry to convert to?, which parking provider are you with, do their results appear in google? do the clicks turn into sales? do they want information rather than a product?

Honestly I could go on with this list for an entire page but i'll sum it up for you. Its impossible to predict unless your very good at finding PPC/traffic names, you'll see themes eventually that are being typed in and make money and hopefully those names will be being typed in based on your research.

Just be very sure your not basing all your research from ovt, as its likely you'll be disappointed in the actual traffic.

Well said Mark. On the flipside, I have a few niche names which get more type-ins than the Overture suggests the term gets in total... Goes to show what Overture is worth. I've found Wordtracker to be much more consistent.

Exactly.

I'll give you one domain I occasionally gets offers on - SMStxts.com rates at something ridiculously low in ovt results, yet it makes a fair whack of money (as do the derviatives I have since purchased) so I am in no rush to sell it.

(I was going to extend this post but i'd rather not let too many cats out of the bag.)
