    Does have a one word domain name which is also a dictionary word mean it is more valuable? I have seen a few people selling domains and mentioning the fact it is a one word, dictionary word domain.

    It does add to the value, but only if there is a buyer who wants it.

    A word like pizza or movie will boost the price but a word like DISPROPORTIONABLENESS is probably worth reg fee only.

    Cool, cool, so it does help, but not guaranteed to be valuable as the word still has to be quite common?

    That's right, and you have to be able to get the right people to know you are selling - or someone will buy from you and on-sell at a higher price. You may decide, however, that the lower price was worth it for the amount of effort you were willing to put into the sales process.

    A one word name is easier to remember, tends to be shorter and is by default the definition of itself. There are only a limited number of words in the language which makes a 1 word name a limited commodity.

    This is a powerful marketing tool in the hands of the right developer and as a result one word domains tend to have high values if there is any search associated with it. Obviously, some words are better than others. A short common domain, especially a dot com that is commercially oriented (a product) can rock the search engines if developed correctly.
