Domain Name selection?

Hi all,

My friend is selling a domain name, but I don't know how to judge the potential traffic, so hope you could help me.

I tried the domain in google adword keyword tool, for match type "broad", it shows local search (USA) volume 3,350,000 searches in October, and for "phase", it local search (USA) volume 110,000 searches.

However, if it is "Exact", it shows 260. If I type the domain in one word, it shows not enought searches.

I am wondering if this domain is good?

Thanks

 

Also check the domain's alexa ranking and Pagerank with something like URLTrends

 

park that domain and look for the visitors , clicks , searches then you can look the revenue and price

 

The domain is never being used and not even parked, so there is no stats available.

What I am thinking is, since normally url exactly matches keyword usually ranked in the first page of the search engine result, is there way to see (or at least approx) the keyword searched in google? Is it what "exact" means?

Thank you so much!

 

Ya.That's the only way to find out the traffic.

 

Look at PR of this domain, alexa rank of course. and just some analysis sites that will show the traffic, clicks, etc.

 

Keyword is very important. Good luck, buddy.
