Domain buying/registering criterias?

    I was trying to grab the best keyword combinations of domains, but some how nowadays people seem to be much more interested in aged domains although those domains does not have any traffic and any meaning at all. So what are your domain buying/registering criterias? what is more important for you?

    domain extension?
    keyword combination?
    age of the domain?

    :rolleyes:

    The exact keyword phrase is the most important. Specifically, you need to know how many searches are performed for that exact phrase monthly. Essociate provided you the link to the tool I recommend.

    The .com extension is the most important. If I remember correctly, most browsers default to the .com extension for people typing in the exact keyword phrase in the browser URL. However, verify this if true.

    domain extension
    age of the domain

    If you plan google traffic - better keyword rich domain. Aged domains with history have good PR authority. Extention only .com
