Also, at what number should i definantely register a name, say i type in and exacy phrase "i like cake" how many searches should it have to automatically register it?

Overture results are what you make of them. I don't think these are 100 percent waht you should go on but they go help find good keywords to register names under. I would imagine it would depend on the quality of traffic on each search.

the higher the better.
And if you found one word with high overture result, reg it.

Only if you find phrase+.com term with at least 40 searches.
But this could be also tricky, due to many factors.

Maybe I get my answer here...

I have posted threads asking about the value of Overture-ratings here in the Misc-section (look for 800.000 ...) and nobody answered.

I have found a 3 word phrase that was searched for 800.000 times in december. Exact same spelling. .net .us and .info are free. I asked one of the domain-guru's here and he said don't register it. But he wouldn't tell me why.

What is your opinion on this ?

Thanks!
