like saying that just because their are gold clubs out there everyone can be like tiger woods.
Dan Thies is the tiger woods of keywords.
I would compare someone to tiger woods that's king of seo and not just an expert in keyword research. Keyword research isn't a soft science. The data doesn't get any more accurate than the data collected by the search engines. Tools like word tracker, wonder wheels, market samurai, keyword suggestions make that data available.
It's interesting how people think a top Ranking is based on a single domain.
It's far from the truth.
Most top ranking domain's are interlinked with a network of domains that are often run by the same site operator.
You just do not get a #1 ranking with a single domain.
The #1 domain this week probably will not be the #1 domain next week but one of the other domains that the Site Operator owns. All the mystique behind awesome SEO is a farce, the reality is you need many domains to get better rankings and having domains based on prime keywords helps. It's not an intelligent process if you just have the resource of many domains and top keyword domains that help immensely.
Not an expert here but people should know this as common knowledge. Domains are Real estate. The more you have the more SE traffic you get.

I've had a single domain rank #1 for its keyword for about a decade. Every now and then someone comes along and bumps me to #2, but a few months later the site that bumped me gets erases from Google and I float back to the top.
I don't have many domains - currently less than 40.
I'm 500 an hour for non clients or 3000 as a daily rate. The only caveat is that I have to find the subject matter, client or overall experience interesting. Worth every penny!
