General Keyword Search Metrics

[DU]

Sorry if this exists somewhere in a sticky post..

But generally speaking. What would typically be considered a good [exact search keyword] match count?

I understand that there are MANY other factors - competition, synonyms etc. but if I were to find a 2 key word .com with:

2000 EXACT searches and 500,000 results pages on "quoted search"

Is that relatively good to consider as a reg and try to sell or try to develop into something (if similar .com are taken) For example : findhouse is taken but findhouses is not for something where plural makes sense.

What is the no brainer number?

5,000 EXACT?
100,000 EXACT searches?

Does it change dramatically with .US? Given that the value is << dot Com .

I'd appreciate any comments - or a pointer to a thread on this. I couldn't find one with a cursory look. I'd take a lmgtfy if its easy to find.

If the niche the keywords relate to is easily monetized, and the top ten results aren't that competitive it's a good domain to register and develop.

Try doing a intitle:"quoted search" and see how many results then come up.

The thing is with an exact match domain often you have little effort to put in to get a #1 position.

So even if the traffic wouldn't be overwhelming, you could still turn it into a little money maker and make it a good addition to your portfolio of developed domains.

And .us domains may not be as much in value from a pure domain sales standpoint, but when you develop an exact match domain you have the same SEO advantage if it was a .com
