I have been using the keyword tool and found some good domains, I think. The problem is that spending a bunch on domains I may never use is not my idea of fun. So, the gift is all of these domains are available, the last I checked. Any ideas? (All of these keyword-rich domains get at least 10,000 visitors a month except the 3d one) 2010traveldeals.com 2012playoffs.com buy3dcamcorder.com waterincalifornia.com cierabayliner.com Anyone want to take bets how fast these are gone?
Second one has real potential, I did have a look round for London Games related domains 2 years ago, most are gone so I'd snap that one up if I were you!
Sure, 10,000 visitors if you're site is ranked #1. You may get on the first page with a keyword domain, but sites like the travel channel that hold #1 (for your first domain)... it will be very hard to beat. Also once more sports playoffs are active in 2012, big name sports sites are going to beat you in a heartbeat for your second domain.
I just did a check for the first domain. It looks like it would be pretty easy to rank top 5 in Google since all the results are deep-links. Plus, you know they are all new since the year just started. With a spot-on domain name, ranking (with a little SEO) would only take development time. I've done it before so don't see why these domain names would be any different.
