People often ask me this question, "how can I choose a good yahoo domain name?" - for this reason, I have come up with 10 basic tips that you should follow in order to have that yahoo domain name of your dreams.
1) Decide specifically what you want. If you are not sure, don't register anything until you are!
2) Keyword domains are out - name recognition is in. Make something that your audience will remember. For example, think - would Yahoo have had been the same if it was named "The-Best-Online-Directory.com"? I don't think so.
3) ASAP - As short as possible! The shorter your domain is, the better. Nevertheless, never make it something without a meaning. An example of this is when I registered imagity.com as a free image hoster - people remember it!
4) Legal - Never ever make your domain name have a trademark violation with ANY company. Never register disneysucks.com or ebayperfumes.com or anything similar. Make your own names and if you are not sure whether it exists or not - Google it!
5) 3-letter .com's are out. Your time is better spent looking for other keywords. Remember this!
6. If you are out of ideas, try looking at a free expired domain list - you will be surprised about the ideas that will flow through your head.
7) Combinations - Recently while I was looking for a good domain name, I thought - "well I can combine two words and make them a domain, right?" so I have come up with my own technique for generating domain-name ideas. I call it the domainametor.
