Overture and a good names

[options]

I can't comprehend why there is so much ephasize on Overture in relation to a domain name.

If it is an one word name or known abrrevation then its O.K.
However for Overture or any search engine more-words names
are mostly senselles.

Take for instance two most (no-name) searched words on the internet today: lyrics and jokes.
Any combination of the two: jokeslyrics and lyricsjokes gives a
zero result, while apart they are worth 3773160 counts !
So in most cases the name alone will not be seen at all.

Having other important meta-tags on the site is that what count.
If I have "lyrics" and "jokes" on a related site put in important fields then I should expect a reasonable internet presence.
The name only should be something memorable, which has nothing to do with Overture.
E.g. emoney has only 303 types in Overture, but is surely much more worth.

Or not?
Am I missing something here?

Yes, because nobody is looking for car socks or carsocks either.
But people seach for dirty jokes or rap lyrics.

Something like lyricsjokes.com would be useful only in directories, as Yahoo for example will much likely give your site the title "lyrics jokes", so you appear in searches for both keywords (how much this helps with your ranking in these days is another question).

emoney.com is of course more worth than other domains with 303 Overture searches, some people estimate such e-domains to 50% value of the generic version (even if nobody is so enthusiastic about them as it used to be the case).
The number of Overure searches is only an indication for: Does this domain name makes sense (because other persons than myself had this in mind too)? And: Is this domain likely to receive some type-in traffic?

OK. I gave some bad example.
Try manualwheelchairs .

Suprisingly that's the most wanted search for "manuals"!!???

BTW, I registered aManual.com, which at my opinion, could be
used for A(uto)Manuals or manuals in general and has more
value (in my eyes) then manuelwheelchair.com.

Exactly what I mean. The name itself (undeveloped) would be a premium by some appraisers.

Options, you say "the name wont be seen at all "

The search engines can see it just fine..

But you cant just put 2 highly popular words together and expect results UNLESS the 2 words are searched on as a phrase.. like "movie posters " for example.

MoviePosters.com or .net or .anything else is just fine..because they are relevant to each other and relevant to actual searchs as an actual searched phrase..

"jokes lyrics" is not searched for (not worth mentioning anyways) .

Again your domain name being relevant to your products/services is important to the search engines but it is only ONE piece of the puzzle. ..your meta tags as you point out are another, your content another , inbound links another (for some engines anyways).. it's a matter of having morte of the pieces put together then your competition..

Tippy made the same mistake..

yep, Games are searched heavily , as is jokes.. but not "joke game" ..

Good Luck..

Mind you type in "sex" at Google and look at the results. According to that it makes no sence really.

First webpage listed is safesex.org and then some others which dont have sex in the domain.

A name is just a name and I dont think it has anything to do with good search engine ranking.

Its just nice to have one that sounds and looks good.

Tippy "safesex.org" makes no sense ?

 

[Tippy]

So then if I was looking for "Game" JokeGame.com could work.

As I said later, I put bad example.
See above. Manualwheelchairs.com - free to register.

Seems they have some algorhytm for recognizing related words
but it works occasionally.

My point too.

Ummm but as you see ....

http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=manual+wheelchairs

I think ManualWheelchairs.com would be an Excellent domain...

IF thats what you want to sell..manual wheel chairs..

It is very important to own a domain that reflects yor business..whether for algorithum based SE,s or human based dierectories..dont underestimate the "extra" value of having a relevant domains..

That said..yes , it is only one piece of the puzzle...

any new sites developed?

Well I don't agree.
I think the name is way too long. MWChairs should be enough
with regard to business only.
If you count on Overture, then manualwheelchairs will
bring nothing back, but manual+wheel+chairs a lot.
When put together in the name - it became worthless (for attracting traffic only).
Well, it surely depends on their software which is not prefected yet.

good luck!
