I hope this is not in the wrong area - but I feel it is related....

How do you evaluate a generic name like charcolbarbecue.com? I am in the industry and own other domains that would work well with it and there were 1800 searches on overture last month.

I don't own the domain but just lost the name in a hotly contested pool.com auction. My last bid was 675 and it went for 1101. Did I make a mistake?

I really want to know how to best evaluate these type of names.. any help would be appreciated.

No, not really. 1k seems like an inflated price for that name. I wouldn't pay over $200 for it myself.

I appreciate the reply... what I really want to know is how to evaluate it. Is there someplace that has an estimate for type in traffic?

it probably gets miniscule traffic here is the overture and the searches on this term are low even without extension
you can use this tool as a guide to traffic, keep in mind it can be manipulated read some of the posts on overture to get a better understanding, generally if a name with ext has an overture score it generally means the name gets traffic except in hyphen cases and when people manipulate stats to sell a domain
