A score of 141 for a name WITHOUT the extension would usually mean the name is worthless. A score of 141 for a domain WITH the extension is most often a good sign that the domain has traffic. This is not 100% of course, and I have found a fair amount that end up having no traffic.

If you find an unregistered name with a decent OVT score with the extension, do a cursory check from other sources like Google etc and register the damn thing, it's only a few bucks. Always remember though, if it sounds too good to be true..then it probably is.

If you are using the OVT tool to look at purchasing names in the aftermarket, it is a good starting point, but is far from the end all answer.

PS. The above "quick view" is my opinion of the OVT tool, and any disagreement with others view of it was purely intentional.
