Pick a phrase. Forget single word .Com commercial words. They're all taken.

Make it a generic commercial phrase: MiamiWidgets, SteelWidgets, LargeBlueWidgets. Focus = commercial

Check the Overture keyword results.

Check Google for the frequency of the phrase "in quotes". Is it >100,000 hits?

Ask "how commercially viable is this phrase"? What's the PPC value of the phrase? Is the phrase for a thing or service that people routinely search for online? Does the phrase has a future?

Is there a significant ad inventory for the phrase?

Google "professional engineer" [google.com], using "quotes around the words".

~4,900,000 "hits".

Exact match results = hits in my book.
