Afternic publishes two lists. One is the keyword list that includes the above 20 keywords. Another includes “filler” words, but it’s worth taking note. The is the top keyword on that list, and it’s probably worthy of putting that on the main keyword list. A lot of people look for domains beginning in the. That said, if the word is in the middle of the domain, you might consider it a filler word.
Just eyeballing the charts, the seems to have double the sales of my.
