Can you measure the value of a domain via Overture search stats?

[SpongyBob]

I know of a domain that's a two word phrase (sorry, I don't really want to name it :D), 9 letters long, .com, no hyphen between the words. There's an "s" on the end, the s is included in the 9 letters. The phrase itself get's a rather large 20 thousand searches per month on Overture, although Overture, of course, incorporates the plural and the singular - although I'd suspect the plural gets most of the searches. The phrase (the plural, in quotes) also get's over a million search returns on Google - and is generally increasing over 100k a month. The phrase isn't a "flash in the pan" and am fairly confident will keep on growing in popularity.

Can you a measure a domain's value via such large Overture stats, and if so, roughly what would you value a 9 letter .com that gets 20k a month for the identical phrase?

Thanks, SB

I say get that name - it certainly can't hurt. Those OVT results are very good. Really, though, depends on the name.

I'd say mid-high $xx for generic names! Good luck!

Thanks. Nah, it's aready taken. I'd be very surprised if there's any domains left with those stats for OVT and google. I think OVT as been pretty much mined of anything with those figures. Alot more than $xx, I'd say, but I'm not sure what.

Anyone else with a view?

I see, so something like collegegrants.com or golfresorts.com would be worth about as much as couple of pizzas and a case of beer.
