Generic Domain Names

[Jason]

They are often very valuable. Nonetheless, some people don't like them. For instance, they might say, "GuitarLessons.com isn't unique enough.".

I believe the domain you want to buy or register should have keywords on it. If possible, your keywords should be niche specific. Sometimes, it is not possible to find appropriate domains for your chosen extension, in a case like this, I think it is better to opt for another domain extension instead of compromising with the domain name. Actually, generic domains can be very rare as they seem to be already taken, you will have to look for niche-specific domains.

I agree, when you decide on a domain name, having one with keywords related to your site can help you a lot when it comes to things such as SEO and being found through search engines as well.

If you ever search for something say on Google, you will usually that the top results are usually sites that either have the keywords you used in their domain or in their forum name or description.

Having a search value on your domain is very important. The keyword related to your niche will help you not only to build your website brands but also improve search engine ranking. Sometimes when you do not find an appropriate keyword-rich domain, coining a word for your domain can be good for instance Bizdustry is a good domain as it combines Business with industry.
