in squadhelp's analysis and Conclusion; 

We have included all domains from the first registered domain to our analysis/article.

  • When the top keywords of all times are examined monthly, they rank at the top as well. Seven out of 10 domains are in the Top 10 list in the last 2 months. 
  • Top keywords for .COM, the most preferred extension, shows a similar pattern to the general distribution.
  • Generally, companies that cannot buy exact brand match domains choose different domains by adding words like online.  Later, companies could buy their exact brand-match domains. The fact that words like online, the, etc. registered too much does not mean that such domains are precious. Popular websites usually use brand domains that do not contain such words.
  • Unlike the general order, the keywords preferred in newly established startups can be seen in the Y Combinator companies, containing new keywords like labapptech, and car.  It will be higher in the overall ranking soon.
