I found an exact match domain for $3K with a search volume of 2,500 and a CPC of $20 according to Keysearch. Alternatively, I could buy a domain like (domain)news.com for a much lower price, but it doesn’t have any CPC or PPC metrics attached.
I’m considering whether the metrics associated with the exact match domain are actually significant enough to justify the purchase. Does the domain name still hold that much value in terms of SEO, or would I be better off saving money and going with a more generic domain? Any advice would be appreciated!
