Do you want to be a Domainer?

If you're searching for a great name, think of what people would type directly into a browser. First thing you probably want to find out is how often the term(s) is being searched. Yahoo (Overture) has created a tool for the world and it's been used over the years by all the people in the domain field. Click here to visit the Inventory Suggestion Tool[1]

There are online forums for "Insider Tips" in the Domainer business. Namepros.com has some good basics; DomainState.com is geared more toward pros. [1]

Do you think a Typo Play would be profitable? Be warned that Trademark typos are under attack. A few generic typos can be taken advantage, however. DomainTools has a tool that lets you generate new ones on the fly. [1]

Are .com domains the most valuable? Well, some are taking a chance on the main new domain suffixes like .mobi, for mobile phones or International ones like .uk (UK), .cn (China), and .eu (the European Union) among many others. [1]
