About a year ago I was reading about some words that were fairly new in the English language, words like cartology (looking in people's shopping carts and judging them based on how much beer or tofu you see in there).
Anyway, 2 of the words were right in one of my main niches so I checked to see if the .com names were available. One of them I had to add blog to the keyword and I now rank #5 in Google (8 in Yahoo). The other one I got the actual .com and now rank #2 in Google (same in Yahoo).
Now I'm not saying that I have good SERPs because I have good domain names. I'm saying I got in early. This is my chance to be accepted as a real authority site because I'll be one of the oldest sites related to the keyword. And being one of the currently few sites) means that when someone writes about my topic there's a good chance they link to me because they only have a few choices.
So find new words that relate to profitable niches (I don't see cartology becoming a high paying or high traffic keyword. Don't bother looking for the .com if you think I'm wrong - it's taken. I won't link there because it's some sort of spammy directory that claims to be about maps, but whatever. They have to make money somehow and no one is paying for courses in cartology yet...
