    Is that 200,000 broad match searches a month? What is the number of exact match searches?

    I suggest it is better to use some other domain name because you will not get any advantage by using same keyword thrice. You can do some research and choose another domain name.

      I am targeting a three keyword search, so each keyword represents part of it i.e makemoney-online

      Note this isn't the niche i am doing just an example

        So are you saying you have found an available domain name which has the exact keywords that you're seeking, only they're separated by a hyphen like in your above example?

      Yes, but you then need to go over to the left of the page and about half way down you will see 3 boxes - broad, exact, and phrase. I am assuming you have the broad match box ticked. Tick the exact match box AND untick the broad match box. Now have a look how many searches that phrase actually has per month. I think you will find it is a lot less than you first thought.

          If the exact match is getting 90,000 per month and you think you could rank in the top half of page 1 then by all means go for it. A domain with keywords in it will often help but it is not the be all end all. Just get a relevant domain and get going.

            , i understand that it will still be a long process however, the sites ranked for this exact phrase barely have any backlinks and the 3rd one that appears on google is a one page website covered in ads. It will still take me quite a while but i can average 50 or so backlinks a day so shouldn't be too bad.

            Thanks for you help

    Just mix up the keywords for the Domain if you can. Google won't rank you down, so don't worry about that. Just go ahead, I've been doing this for some years now & I've used you same Keywords Thrice. You'll be fine. If you have any worries, just message me, I'll give you all the information you need. Regards.

    Have you tried looking at aged domains to buy. Try typing your keyword at Godaddy auction and see what is available for sale. It must be at least 3 years old and preferably already having aged backlinks as well. An aged domain, even a PR 0 with well targeted keyword pages will outranked the number 1 spam site very quickly.

    Secondly, If you don't go for an aged domain, I have seen from my experiments that adding extra letters to your domain name like www.keywordxxxx.com can produce better results than having a long domain name with hyphen.
