Value of electronic products high search volume exact match .COM domains (EMDs)?

[tommedema]

I have about 4 .COM domains that exactly match a frequently searched for electronic product. For example, the best one of these represents a new smartphone and has about 450,000 exact monthly Google searches (e.g. if the phone's name was Great Phone 2 then my domain is greatphone2.com).

I haven't developed these names because I'm not sure if it's worth the effort. I expect these products to be popular for a limited amount of time (e.g. 6 months). Also, I'm not sure whether an exact match domain will mean that I will be ranked high in search engines, provided that I post some interesting articles on the subject. My idea would be to post about 3 articles that together form a product review of the product in question.

Would you say that a domain like this can be lucrative when developed? Or perhaps I should resell it?

When did you register these domains? I'm going to assume the terms are trademarked by the companies and you shouldn't be regging these type of domains.

If you had the names BEFORE the phones were actually named (read: trademark filed) then they could be decent for a short period I guess.

I registered them after the products were released.

So, I cannot do anything with them, even if I positively advertise the product?

What if I use the domains and take them down if I get a complaint?
