Just this week I had a local doctor who owns a successful clinic here in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He went and bought a whole bunch of great local domains that are associated with what he does for a living. The "#1" domain name already had its adsense script installed. However, he got a gang of less than perfect domain names that were nonetheless chock full of keywords and easy to remember. I've had pretty good success getting less than perfect domain names convert into #1 rankings for target keywords. When I first started my local restaurants site, I wanted to get the plural version of the domain but it was taken. So, I contacted the owner from the whois and they had no problem replying to my email with just "$20,000". That's why I replied "Good Luck" and got a #1 ranking with the singular version of the domain. Screw these domain squattin' losers. Do what cshel said and get a less-than-perfect domain and work your ass off to get it into a strong position. Remember, you don't need that domain, you just want it. It's you who will make a domain into a valid site, not the letters in the domain name. ROLL TIDE! I have to agree with you 100% on this cshel.
