Google |
Most new domainers rely on
Google to figure out good domain names. Please remember
it's a good starting point, but that's about it. Just
search for your keywords and see the number of pages that you
get back. Please look through the pages as the keywords
may be used in a totally different way then what you want the
site for. Always use quotes when searching for multiple
keywords. For example "plasma TVs" this returns only those
pages with those words together.

Switchboard |
Another good
tool for checking real world name usage is
Switchboard.com. If you enter a word there it will
return a list of businesses that incorporate the word in their
name, complete with their address and phone number! That can be
useful if you want to try cold calling to market your domain
names, though I have never found that to be an effective means
of selling domains. We’ll talk about what is effective a bit
later in this article.
