    I think YES...but it's hard to find good ones! ForSaleByOwner.com was sold for $800,000 few years ago! Why don't you build a website at onlinevideoblackjack.com?

    That is a definite yes, but at least under the .com TLD, I think 4 letters domains are all taken.

    2 words domains are the best, easily remembered, the more the words, the more no no it gets..

    I'd say yes, as long as the words are shorter. If you manage to pick the four biggest words in the English dictionary, then no, but I'd say thinks like buyandsellthings [for example] is a good domain name. Make sure it is on focus, though! Good luck! :p

    I suppose 3-4 word domain names will be very long domain names. And in fact they are not attractive and cannot be considered as subject of investment.

    I have had a lot of success selling 3+ word domain names to buyers of those AdWords. If it's something specific, like AllInOneInkJets, there are plenty of advertisers out there that are generally quite interested in those domains. Make sure there are EXACT keyword stats on the word combinations and you can be golden!

    My keywords only makes sense as a 3-word set, with a 4th being a qualifier. So I think it is worth it, in certain "semantic" 3-word niches.

    That domain is a bit wordy which is why it's hard to sell. It would also be competing with better domains like "videoblackjack.com", "blackjack.com" & "onlineblackjack.com".

    It's difficult to find viable domains in that length. Exact match keyword domains in a money niche are not bad, but do your research before registering. The phrase "online video blackjack" gets approximately 0 exact match search, and only a couple hundred broad match per month. "Blackjack" and "online blackjack" and "blackjack online" get decent search volume but the market is so competitive that a longtail domain in that niche is hardly going to kick a dent in the major sites, and if it can't do that then it doesn't have resale value.

    Yes - but develop that one, build some links, get some traffic and then try selling it. You would think I could get 1,000's for WagersAndBets.com but without a site it is like a empty store or warehouse with nothing on the shelves.
