---- Can we now say officially that keyword domains are dead to Google?

I know there is and has been quite a marketplace for domains. You know, people paying thousands for those high value keyword domains.

My observations from my points of interest continue in the same way. I'm seeing less and less keywords in domains. Just today after some current searching I'm drawing a deeper conclusion.

Is it time to say the keyword domain marketplace is dead? I'm sure people selling domains don't want to believe it just yet. For sure I'm noticing it. Anyone else monitoring those trends?

I can say regardless if people disagree with me, the fact is all those expensive auction domains are fools gold. Sure the Google algo can change but in this regard it's not going to imo. It's all about Panda right? Since when does a keyword in a domain equate to quality?

Anyone feeling the pain of left holding "assets" which are now nothing more than "expenses"?

If anything I hope word gets out there and these people asking thousands of dollars for domains can actually get a dose of reality.
