I would like to add that if one plans on promoting their site/landing page on adwords - ensure that you do not buy a domain name that exceeds the characters allowed in the adword url. This is the maximum for a url that Google adwords accepts = 12345677777777777777.com (example only...not a valid url)

I have something to add as well,
It doesn't hurt to gather a bunch of words your considering and running them through a keyword tool. The popularity and competition of certain words should also be considered.

ie makemoneyonline, would not be a good choice, sure it gets 100 million searches, but there is also 100 billion search results.

Just For The Record....
ANY Marketing you do on the web, should ALWAYS start with keyword research.
