So I purchased this domain :chickenreciperecipe.com and checked it with google key word tool.
It has low competition, 6,120,000 global search, 4mil within us.
is it worth something? my only idea was to create recipe website.

Hello,

Those 6 Million results are for Broad search which is meaningless at times.
You need to check the [Exact] match to find the real results and unfortunately it shows that there are less than 10 [Exact] searches each month for "Chicken Recipe Recipe".

I'm apologize for having to give you the bad news. But I hope this information helps you.

God Bless,
Marcia

Thanks

It's worth less than what you paid to register it. Unless it's a generic name, domains without any sites, monetization or rankings are pretty much worthless.

Thanks

Well, that's pretty much poppycock as shown here
http://www.dnjournal.com/domainsales.htm

but a recipe site is very hard to monetize and why did you choose a domain like that with recipe recipe in it? Exact match domains don't carry the clout in Google that they once used to so a good branded chicken recipe name would have been better.

Thanks

Hi Elad,
Try to market the site in free ad sites, forums, craigslist, family, friends, and so on. Or find high search terms in reference to recipes (make sure you look at exact phrase) to find how many searches. Then look at google and use the phrase in quotation marks to find out how much competition. Once you find a high searched, low competition phrase use this as a title for a blog with links to this site. Introject the searchable phrase here and there in the blog to get it listed on page 1 in Google.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Thanks

Im constantly boggled by the number of people who seem to think that a domain name with a keyword in it is a good thing. Evidence to the contrary is presented to them just about every time they do a Google search. Wikipidia is one of the top rated sites and is consistently in the top results. Do you see any keywords in the name Wikipedia? Heck even Google says that keywords in a domain name have little to no SEO value.

Sorry my friend your domain name is worth nothing more than any other domain name with no site, no content and no indexing. Basically its worth about the $12 it cost to register it.

Thanks

I see absolutely no value in this domain name. The global search volume for the exact match is less than 10. You were using broad match, which is irrelevant, because it is pulling up results for each of the words individually "recipe", "chicken", etc.

That's not to say that search volume dictates the value - it doesn't. Most domains I sell don't have much search volume. But this domain makes no sense.

EDIT: I just noticed I repeated what Marcia said :-)
