Choosing A Domain Name

[TylerDurden]

So I searched the forum and there is lots of great information on how to choose a domain name. One tool that I've been playing around with for choosing a domain name is Google's Keyword Generator. My question is if I want a specific domain name and it's taken, is it a good idea to use Google's Keyword tool for coming up with alternative domain names?

For example if I want the domain name ILoveBoobs.com and it's taken, then I go to the Google's Keyword Tool and type in the word "boobs" and in the results the phrase "fake boobs" has 5,000 searches on average per month should I then go register the domain name fakeboobs.com or is this a flawed way of thinking? Is Google's keyword tool reliable enough or should I try another one?

Generally speaking if you can find a search query with a decent amount of searches, and the .com is available, go for it. That domain name will slingshot your site to the top in the google SERPS.

Thanks, that's what I thought. Is it a good idea to use Google's keyword tool for this though? I've heard that it's not so accurate. Also what is a good search volume to look for? Is it basically the more the better or does it depend on a bunch of factors?

I think Googles keyword tool is the most accurate way to check traffic.

The more traffic the better. The shorter in characters the better. The fewer the words the better. The more likely you think someone will go to the url line and just type it - the better.

Compared to other tools Google keyword tool is more accurate. I'd suggest you to use Google keyword tool for searching keyword rich domains.
