I was lead to believe people "navigated" via Google these days! Certainly a thing of the past for Chrome users as typing in drops down the Google results! Paul, whether such domain names will provide a good ROI or not is a greatly contested topic! People believe it so that's why they are valued to highly - no one can argue they arent "worth" that much because that's what they sell for!! But other schools of thought suggest that it doesn't really matter. comparemytopcameras or comparecamerasrightnow etc are going to look equally inviting in Google with good description text. Being at the top is what's important and that will depend on how much love Google's algorithm gives you. Ultimately determined by who links to you how and your content. If you are aiming bigger then you might want to consider a "brand name" anyway. Imagine if Google had been called search.com! Or if YouTube had been called video.com! Not really the same. The debate will rage on for ever, especially when many are prepared to put their money where their mouth is! Does type in traffic exist any more?

We're in quite a lucky (or unlucky depending on your point of view) position here in Ireland, in that the .ie registry is very strictly controlled. There are heaps of loopholes to jump through before registering a domain, and you have to justify your purchase before they award you the domain name. So it's easier over here to get a really great brandable domain, as a surprising amount aren't registered yet. Example - comparecameras.ie is available still, if any of you are looking to give Ireland a go ;-) As the proud owner of competitions.ie (which is launching very, very soon), I can totally see the value in domains like this.

I also think people are being a bit canny and are finding ways to pick up domains for less. Use of drop catching services must be doing well at present.

Not sure if you'd class that in the same league as comparecameras or not, but we'll see if I get any offers. I ideally want it to go to auction, but seems you can't do that on Sedo unless you atleast get an offer first! I’ve just put compareconsoles .co.uk up for sale on Sedo.

This domain is a simple, clear domain that once developed will rank well in search engines for a range of camera related terms, namely the popular term of “compare cameras”. Consider for a second how many people will type this into a search engine, in 5 years time – many more than now! I think many domain holders don’t fully realise the value of domain names and as we move forward those people that do develop names to become full sites will reap the rewards moving forward. It’s a bargain domain with excellent future potential. I think the thing people sometimes overlook is brand-ability.

I think that's quit a lot! I am from holland....and these kind of domains don't have these values just for the name. (combination of 2 words). I have comparenotebook.co.uk in my portfolio, do you guys think such a domain does also have some value? Comparecameras.co.uk for a price of £300? I think that’s quit a lot!
