1. Buy shorter domain name:- It is always better to choose a shorter domain name for your website. Shorter names are also easier to remember than long names or phrases. Choose something that would make you click on if for further information.

2. Keyword inside:- It is better to add your keywords in your domain name. This is because many people look for websites using keywords. Having keywords separated by dashes in your main domain will help you in getting traffic through organic search results. If you want your site to be ranked high by the search engines then it makes a huge difference if your main keyword is in your domain name.

3..com is the best:- .com is always the best extension to have, if people can't remember what is , that is the one they will try. Buy the others as well if they are available and redirect them to the .com. There have been rumors that the extensions other than .net, .com or .org , have less weight with search engines.

4. Expired domains:- You can look up expired domains that are either short, have good names, have keywords, or have back links. These domains can be like gold because the past owners may have put in a great deal of effort in getting web traffic. These types of domains should be considered if you already have an existing domain name. The price tag is usually a lot higher than a brand new domain name.

5. Put up a parking page:- After you buy a domain, immediately put up a parking page with keywords and some inbound links. Even if you don't intend to use the domain for several months, aged domains have more value and legitimacy to search engines. You want a portfolio of domain names that is aged like fine wine. This way, when you start new projects, it will seem like the sites have been up for months or years and have just gained popularity and content.

One of the last things to look into is how do domains make money. Here are the two biggest ways a domain will make you money. They are both very different in nature and require different aspects of research. What may be a good resale domain may not be the best parking domain and vice versa.

Buying domains with the intent to resell is one of the biggest ways to turn a $6 investment into a $10,000 profit. In this category your goal is to purchase domain names which will have a mass market value based on there size, keywords, and marketability. One good example of this are the LLL.com domains. As a type in ("type in" refers to a name that would be directly typed into the address bar, not searched for) BAL.com might not get the most hits but as a a resale domain it is worth A LOT. So remember that while doing research ask yourself do I want to park domains or do I want to buy/sell domains?.
