Exact Domain Match - Did I hit the jackpot?

    I am sitting here doing what the rest of the planet does, trying the find the best exact match that can possibly meet needs; most of the time I end of failing to reach that goal because you think that every keyword on this god forsaken planet is taken....

    So i am doing my search in google tools, and i run across this keyword
    that absolutely makes no sense what-so-ever...I am thinking there is no moron
    on this planet that is using this keyword in a search engine, then I go to google
    and do a search, and low and behold, I see major sites that relate....

    3 word term; makes no sense why someone would search in that manner.
    195,000 Global Searches (exact keyword match)
    30,000 Local Searches (exact keyword match)
    500k google results (when I search for exact keyword match)
    all domain extensions are available: maybe because normal people think
    only a moron would search for this so no one has bothered
    to register any of the domains...

    Its not an exact match that would be considered exact
    match, as I am just going by keywords shown by google.

    1: Corn Flakes (exact match, duh)
    2: Corn is Flakes (why would someone search for corn is flakes)
    (this was just an example of search terms that do not make sense)

    I purchased a domain the other day, and did not even think of doing
    a keyword search because I just like the domain, and it made sense, and
    for shits and giggles I decided to do a keyword search thinking that
    Zero match would come up...90 monthly searches come up; It is 90
    more then I thought the domain would get simply because I am thinking
    that no body in their right mind would probably make that keyword search....

    What do you domain experts think about this?

    in my opinion exact match domains are not that important, you have to rank the site first and get some traffic, then you hit the jackpot

    Well said by SEO experts, exact domain name does not brings a huge SEO value to your site these days. If you're prefer in selling something or creating a site/blog just for adsense, then aged domain could be the best way of. Aged domain names carry more weights compare to exact match domains.

    I am not going to ponder on it too much. regardless of how helpful it is or not, I am sure
    if anyone had a chance to grab a KW match domain then they would, but I have found
    out that the exact match results were so low in traffic anyway that I have
    already left the idea, so I am not going to worry about it, and you are right, its not
    all about the domain, but it doesnt hurt to have something that can be easily remembered,
    the easier it is remember your domain, the less it will cost in Advertising, Marketing, SEO....

    its all good...
