keywords and competition for SEPRs

    Lets say I want to create a site revolving around funny pictures. What should I be looking for when I create the domain name?

    For example, 4 words I may use in the name:
    geek - 60 million results on google
    nerd - 18 million results on google
    dork - 6 million results on google
    dweeb - 500 thousand results on google

    Is this telling me I should use the word 'dweeb' because the 'market' is not as heavily saturated? So I could make the first page on google for the word 'dweeb'. Or is this telling me to use 'geek' and just work as hard as I can to make the top page?

    Thanks for the help!

    Don't look at the number of search results to determine competition. A better indication is to look at to use "allinanchor:keyword" which tells you the number of pages with links using the same anchor text.

    Good tip. But in my situation would I be looking for which ever one of those words has the least amount or most amount of allinanchors?

    Least allinanchor because that indicates fewer pages using the same anchor text.
