Am I Too Good With Domain Name Games? Or not?

Actually, last time .. just in finding a domain of 4 million searches per month .. I did a mistake .. anyway ..

Now, today I found a new domain name which is available by the way .. And I am sure and checked so well .. PROPERLY. monthly searches are 12 million ..

now, should I get this? I mean. I am in article marketing. Just by chance I found this domain. And, ya .. it is related with my niche also .. I have no idea about this domain buying selling thing or keeping it.

I have a question. For example, if it's like .. useit.com (taken) ituse.com (available) .... now both are given the same 12 million searches per month

So, my question? should I have that one which is available?? or leave it? I mean ituse.com gonna make some money or not? 12 millions searches per month, exact search.

One more thing, what if I sale it on .. sedo etc.? What should I expect? 12 million searches per month exactly.

    If you really do mean that "ituse" is available, what would you plan to do with it? "use it" is far too generic a term to have any useful meaning in seo terms. Use what????

    Having said that, there's only one way that I know of to be certain, that's to spend the $10 and find out.

    No-one can answer your question about whether it will make money. We don't know what you will put on the site, what you will write about, how good you are at seo, how big your list is (if you have one), how good you are driving traffic to the site, what you plan to sell/offer, what the competition is, what keywords you will target. Nothing.

    It's not about the domain name, but all about your skills as an IMer.

    In my opinion it be hard to monetize that domian properly as it's waaay too broad.

    A better use of that domain would be to setup a blog and write posts relating to 'Using' something. I.e, "How To Use XYZ", "How To Use ABC" to get traffic from Google.

    You'd be able to monetize it better that way as each post will relate to something specific.

    I bet there are TONS of keywords that start with "How to Use..."

    SideNote: Don't get caught up all the time trying to find that one big keyword that get's millions of searches. It's way better to target lots of small keywords in terms of SEO ease, and ease of monetization. You can make more money out of a keyword that gets 1000 searches per month than you can with a keyword that gets 10,000 searches per month. It's all about relevancy. The more broader you are, the less buyers you'll attract. you'll end up getting 1000's of hits and no sales and you'll join the guys on here that always ask, " 10,000 hits, no sales. What am I doing wrong?".

    Hope that helps,

    be sure you look at exact search results, broad search includes these scrambled combinations, like your reversed words, that in reality people rarely search for.

    There are huge search volume domains available for commonly technical computer/programming terms that can't be easily monetized, you should know in advance how you can convert your visitors to buyers.

    Exact match domains might be less of a factor for important high search terms where there top ranked sites all have thousands of pages and quality backlinks. I have a couple of domains with million search domains that have never been raised from obscurity, because so many competing sites are making a sizeable investment to get their search rankings.

      no... actually it's not related to technology... it's related to arts. And, yes .. books on that domain name niche are available on clickbank etc.

      What if I try to sale that domain name? what should I expect?

        You should expect at least reg fee. If someone offers you half reg fee, just reply with "lol".

          A domain is only worth what somebody is willing to pay for it.

          And without providing the domain in question it's impossible to give you the answer you want.

          It's like me asking you, "What's this worth?"

          And you reply, "What's what worth?"

          Precisely.

            This ^

            I also think you need to say whether the search was broad, phrase or exact.

            I'm strongly suspecting you did this on broad match in which case you need to look again on exact match.
