Got an exact search .com with 9,900 global exact and 2,840 Allintitle search......

Hey guys I just bought a .com that I have been saving to buy for when godaddy had another 1$ .com sale. Well that day has come today and I bought my .com that has 9,900 global exact global search and only 2,840 Allintitle search. (coupon code holiday99 - "com" only)

Market Samuri shows competition low competition, unfortunitly I cant post a picture though so PM for details.

It looks very promising to me, especially since 4 out of 10 on the first page do not have the term in their URL. I currently work for an online company so I do understand SEO a bit and pulling for the title, heading and description should not be a problem.

How important is the DMOZ directory and the YAH directory, id never even heard of them until I picked up MS?

The major problem I see is competing with 1. Youtube (I know I don't have a chance) 2. Gawker.com 5. Yahoo's "associatedcontent.com" the third position looks like it was made by a 10 year old and the 4th position is just a semi established blog.

My question is basically how much weight does an exact match .com have when competing against these major news sites, will it even make a difference? My thinking is that, if a child site and a small blog can beat yahoo's associated content news article, I probably have a good chance, but I wanted to hear what you guys thought before I pursue.

Thanks for all of the help guys, I plan to be contributing more as I move along on this project. I will keep a journal of how this goes if anyone is interested....

Peace

Two things, when doing the research for your question I noticed you posted this exact post in Digital Point as well. Congradulations on your part doing your due diligence and not relying on only one source for your information. Don't see that many people actually applying research to solve their problems. With that being said here is what I found.

SEOmoz | Are Exact Match Domains Too Powerful? Is Their Time Limited?

And...

Should Your Company Employ Exact Keyword Match Domains? | MarketNet Blog

Keep up the research
