domain Spring-Time.com and more!

[JoshuaPz]

I'm seeking appraisals on 2 hyphenated names and 2 LLLL.com's:

Quick-Dry.com: Reg'ed since 1998, "quick-dry" taken in 2 extensions, 34K monthly Google searches for "quick dry" with heavy AdWords competition, Estibot $9100 for "quick dry.com".

Spring-Time.com: Reg'ed since 1997, "spring-time" taken in 6 extensions, 40K monthly Google search for "spring time" and 200K monthly for "springtime" -- both with heavy AdWords competition -- Estibot $42,000 for "spring time.com".

ybny.com: VCCV.com containing "ny", semi-pronounceable, begins and ends with same letter.

ezjo.com: VCCV.com containing "ez", pronounceable, V's are pure vowels (not y's), brandable.

Which of these looks the most promising to you?

Not sure if all the stats for quick dry are right. I only get 3 advertisers on the right side of my google search when i search for Quick Dry... which means they only have to pay .05 to get an ad.

Also, estibot has these stats for "Quick Dry"
PPC Ads # 15
Max PPC Bid $0.33
Overture/mo 73
Wordtracker/day 3

So, according to wordtracker there are 90 searches a month for quick dry.

Also, when using the google keyword tool, be sure to put your keyword on the "exact" setting. This is what I get when "Quick Dry" is set to exact phrase.

[quick dry] 1 - 3 320 210

So there were 320 searches last month, and the average number of searches a month is 210.

Based on all this, I would estimate the domain to be worth low XXX to the right buyer.

Fragger,

Estibot always under-reports the number of Google search per month, usually by a factor of 5-50x. I use the Google AdWords tool at <https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal>. When I type "quick dry" on the first line and hit Get Keyword Ideas, the tool reports "quick dry" as a phrase got searched about 50,000 times in August.

What's the difference between the Exact and Phrase options?

 

[Fragger]

The exact option is how many times "Quick Dry" for that exact phrase is searched. The phrase option is how many times any phrase with the words Quick Dry is searched. Say, for instance, someone searches for "Blue Quick Dry Bath Towel". That is included as a search in the phrase option. Same goes for "Quick Dry Running Shorts". Any time the words Quick and Dry are next to each other in a search string, it gets reported in both the broad and phrase category. The name still has value though, because you can always just make folders like Quick-Dry.com/Shorts.html.
