If the key phrase for example 'sell my domain' got lets say 10,000 searches last month in overture then

does it make 'sellmydomain.com' worth something?

and does that mean it will get higher rankings in search results for the same keyword (sell my domain)?

Hoping to get some feedback on it.

Thanks!

I use the same approach when finding domains to grab. This works well for me since most domainers prefer typing 'sellmydomain.com'into the overture engine. As long as the majority uses the latter approach, those domainers will miss out on some good domain opportunities.

In answering your question: yes, I do believe high search results on overture could translate potential worth of that domain. In my experience, the type-in traffic I received for sellmydomain.com represented close to 10% of the search results of 'sell my domain'. Thus if 'sell my domain' gets about 10000 search results, then sellmydomain.com might get close to 1000 type-ins per month.

Thats cool, I forgot about the type-in traffic factor. thanks!

A keyword that gets a high number of searches would be a great domain to get.

It should get some type-ins. But may not necessarily get good rankings on the search engines.

This will, of course, depend on how you optimize your site for the particular keyword and also the number of sites 'competing' for that keyword.

Yes, usually keyword rich domain names get a
good number of type ins, which means visitors
that do not arrive to your site through the
search engines or advertising.

This is a factor that influence the value of
a domain name and can increase the price if
you try to sell a keyword rich domain name.

Yep I agree.

And what do you think of a domain name which does not get lots of searches but millions it exists in millions of pages. like I have a domain name "casuale.com" It does not get lots of searches but about 365,000 pages contain the exact term. Does that mean you have to strugle really hard to get that domain up in search rankings?

Touseef, Italian is my language so I know perfectly what casuale means.

Precisely it is not a word but an adjective and means accidental.

Sincerely I cannot imagine what website could be developped with this domain name and don't really know if many internet users would search for casuale.
