Looking at the metrics for these terms, ‘mouse’ gets 673k exact monthly searches worldwide, ‘keyboard’ gets 550k, and by comparison, ‘keyboards’ gets 301k, and these are all great numbers for commercial searches. In terms of what people are searching for, and assuming that it holds true that exact matched domains gets better SERP ranks, keyboard is better domain for traffic than keyboards, although it’s a bit counter-intuitive.

There aren’t that many domains that get really great natural type ins, but with the potential search traffic and obvious commercial angle I can understand why someone would buy these 2. Yeah, to a domainer these prices seem high, would they to a national PC retailer shipping 100,000 of units monthly?

Maybe Sedo will surprise us all and the buyers will be a pet store and a music store;-) I doubt it though.

Great names.

The prices sound on the high side to me. I agree these are exactly “ring the cash register” types of names. They are more on the brandable side of the fence.

Still I’d be pretty surpised if Sedo had managed to line up endusers for them. I’m guessing the whois will update to that of a domainer. I’m guessing they same company bought them both given they have sold at the same time.

And that’s precisely why they sold for that much. End-users eager to create a brand or a portal do not care about the same numbers that domainers do. Brandability depends on name clarity, length and solid letters, ability to remember and not confuse with others. Think of Bing.com
