Exact Match URL Not Available. What now?

I have found a keyword that Market Samurai shows an SEOT almost 1100. The product runs about $125-$250 each on Amazon. The competition is in the low to medium range. Looks like this keyword has serious potential.

Of course the exact match TLD's are gone, but do not show in the top 10.

So what would experienced marketers recommend to target this niche?

The following are all available, but obviously, not exact match:

keyword.info
keyword.co
keyword.biz
keywordsite.com
mykeyword.com
newkeyword.com
keywordstore.com
keywordshop.com
keywordblog.com

The keyword is really not hyphenable.

Or is there something else you would recommend?

Thanks!

    Use a stop word, like "the" in front of the keyword

    Been having success with both stop words and creative thinking:

    thekeyword dot com

    or keywordexperts dot com

    It really depends on what market you're working, really. But every market has some words that can be used and create a useful domain name.

    Who cares if the exact match is not available?

    After all, when you do a search the only resulting domains on the first page are exact matches or near exact matches. Or are they?

    Like a couple of the people above suggested, you'd still have a good chance using a little creativity in choosing your domain name.

    What it really depends on is your competition. Check out the top 10 first, and analyze their optimization. If you think you can outperform the top domains for your keyword, you'd have a good chance with a "creatively named" domain.

    It seems like you are not strict to register on specific domain extensions. As I can see from the list, you have .info .biz .com .co domain extensions. So I think finding an exact matching domain with any domain extension is not that tough job. Still if you cannot find, you will need to apply, the above friends suggestions.

    And my opinion is that exact match domains are heavily exploited by some companies. So you better opt for exploring creative names in your niche.

      This is just an observation based on little experience, but it seems to me the inherent problem with having to use stop words is that your keyword niche might already be pretty full of competition if you can't get an exact domain name match.
