Question on domain name searching and extensions

When I use Google Key Word Tool and put it on exact and let’s say I search “Billy Bobs” and my results are 1500 Global Monthly Searches.

What would everyone consider a good number of global monthly searches to consider buying a domain name?

I get it if my search returns 50,000 Global Monthly Searches but the truth is those domain name are so rare or almost impossible. But if you did a search and your results were 500 Global Monthly Searches, would this be considered a good name to consider or do most domainers hold out for a domain name that has a minimum of let’s say 5000 global searches?

My other question is this. I have found some domain names that have let’s say 2500 global searches and the only name that is available is .biz.

Example:

FIX MY CREDIT REPORT has 1600 Global Searches and the .biz .me and .mobi are available for this one. Now my understanding is .biz and .mobi are more geared for .biz meaning a business and .mobi meaning make your site very mobile friendly.

So if .biz means what it means and you wanted to take this domain name and create a business built off the domain name itself wouldn’t this be a great buy, decent amount of monthly searches and you’re creating a business off the name?

Also if the Competition is already at high does this mean the odds of my new site landing on the first page from a Google search pretty much out the window or am I confused on the phrase “Competition”?

I know everyone wants the .com behind their name but is it really that important anymore and if it is does this mean any domain name that has an extension other than .com completely worthless?

Thank You
A very confused person this morning.

It’s not wise to use Global Monthly search….Global search results are always misleading….always use Exact as your Match Types….Exact monthly search is much more accurate and most of the people use exact monthly search to find keywords or domain names….

There are thousands of examples where you will see 100k global monthly search for a keyword buy actual exact search less than 10….so, better use Exact Search to find domain names.....but always careful about trademark...….

That is what my main post is about, I started of by saying

"When I use Google Key Word Tool and put it on exact"

Or you talking about something different ? Before I do any search I put it on "exact" which by the way I was not aware of till the other day someone on here explained that to me.

Those aren't completely worthless for sure. But .COM is the prestige extension, because it's the oldest "com"mercial one, thus the best known (that is the most popular) domain extension in the world. I wonder how many people are aware of .mobi, .xxx, .asia, etc.

This is from Wikipedia :
".COM was one of the original top-level domains (TLDs) in the Internet when the Domain Name System was implemented in January 1985, the others being edu, gov, mil, net, org, and arpa. It has grown into the largest top-level domain."

So this has something to do with popularity and age.
Hope to be helpful to you,
