What's the lowest Exact search you'd buy a Domain for?

[AuthorityDomain]

I tend to look at the Google keyword tool a couple of times a day for new domains I think of. What is the lowest local exact search number you would go to when hand regging a domain?

I guess it depends on the CPC value too!

Would 73 and £3.35 CPC be too low. It is quite a long tail keyword that I think would sell to the end user. I can also see the competition for this keyword is high and quite a few companies bidding on this keyword

Thoughts please domainers!!

Zero.

Out of the last 5 hand regs and 5-6 buys - total spend 5k ish - not checked the 'exacts' once.

Thanks Guys

I'm not sure how correct the GKT is anyway, but its useful to find how much people are bidding on to see if the domain could be valuable as a keyword domain.

I know there are a lot of new searches every day too which won't be in the tool

I think there is a growing trend away from the Keyword Tool. It's useful for consumer products, but there's more to domains than just that.

I believe there's some doubt about the accuracy of the results, so to rely solely on that could be dangerous.

It's not just about targeting the exact match keyword anyway, there are plenty of opportunities for related phrases. They may not be quite as good/reliable as exact, but they still push the potential up.

I use GAKT for consumer search terms, far less for B2B. I pay a lot of attention to what the top advertisers and top organic search listings have in their title tags (assuming that they are commercial listings i.e. for companies in that particular space). If all/most of them use the term in question to describe their product/service offering, it doesn't really matter if it doesn't get many searches as there's a potential audience out there who will provably find it "desirable" since it matches their own way of thinking about what they do.
