      I didn't know about the pay per click relevance of having the exact domain name match to the product being sold but I can see how that could be very important if you are heavily into Google ad words, but for a smaller company it wont be of great benefit becouse I'm not intending of spending much in that direction, but thanks for the information.

        You should probably point out-- facebook did NOT pay 100 million just for face.com--  facebook has been using face.com's facial recognition software for ages.  They purchased the entire company for 100mm.

              Years ago I paid $1500 for keyword rich, two-word.com and it has worked out really well.

              However, if I had it to do over again I wouldn't.  Now I think a unique, brandable domain name with one of the keywords in it for $10 is a better choice.

              example:
              2-word keyphrase:  abcde-efghij.com
              unique/brandable: abcdeworld.com

              Regards,
              Sam
