Type-in domain names - How are they evaluated?

[kaz2]

Hi all

I am a newbie to domaining. When I started out I rushed in to register names I thought "sounded" good. I have now learnt, after further research, that in order to sell your domain names there must, in most cases, be some inherent keyword value. My understanding is that type-ins with the .com extension and high overture count are valuable and much sought after. The problem is, locating an exact type-in with a .com extension is like looking for a needle in a haystack!!

Mu question is this (using made up data):- if you have located an overture search term like "check cheap hotels" and it has a count of say, 1,000 month but no type-in search term of "checkcheaphotels.com" at all would it still be worth registering as domain name "checkcheaphotels.com"? Do the search engines combine keyword phrases and match them to equivalent URL's?

Please advise as I suspect that this is an area much misunderstood by newbies such as myself - are type-ins restricted exclusively to the exact search term with a .com extension or can you obtain search traffic if your domain name matches the exact search phrase with a high overture count (ie would "checkcheaphotels.com" obtain type-in traffic from the phrase ""check cheap hotels"?).

Thanks!

About the value of the domain it is all up to the buyers somethimes you think the domain does not worth a thing but it my worth good in the eye of other people ,

now about the ovt for the keyword in your example stated above "check cheap hotels" , 1000 point does not worth it , but if it is big number YES the domain checkcheaphotels.com does worth to be registered BUT if it will be developed because that hug search you will not profit from it without SEO an developing because after you seo and dev the name your domain will be ranked good and have a good position in the search engines when ever the key word "check cheap hotels" is typed your website will show in the first pages but as i said it need SEO and developing that is the only way to profit from that score of ovt
