Comments on: What Matt Cutts Said at Domain RoundTable 2008 http://www.johnon.com/543/mattcutts-domainroundtable.html I think there's an opinion on that subject lying around here somewhere....

Delete the last two comments. I'll try again. I'm looking for the latest info on stop words in domains. What I want to know is: is it true that Google (and other search engines) ignore stop words in domains? If that were the case wouldn’t it be open season on all domains? Domainers could just add variations of stop words to popular and high-traffic domains and get them high in the SERPS. It can't be that easy surely? Sorry. Delete the last two comments.

Why? One idea I have is if you get the poop you get in results then you might click one there money makers, adsense traffic. I mean really if you type in a domain dot com and all you get is other sites that know how to piggy back off your original request and they show up without the original domain dot com in the results, that’s a worthless product to me. I spell Google, BING plain and simple you get what your searching for. The only thing Google can do right is serve maps and earth. I boycotted them years ago. I think there must be something in the water of the silicone valley every company in that area is or is becoming whacked. Let's hope Bing dot com stays in Redmond.

I have no problem with a Yahoo/Microsoft merger. I can’t wait until a viable competitor to Google exist. I have no problem with a Yahoo/Microsoft merger.

I wanted to parlay it into a high PR site with great content. Based on Matt's comments, I would be better off using one of the domains I already own and use the money saved on good content writers. @DP: I have seen domains sold retain their value until the content gets changed drastically, then sandbox time.
