Welcome to our brand new Domain Name Forum!
I am the mod and host for this forum and the
Affiliate Marketing forum.
Do you play the Domain Game???
If you own a web site, you probably have played the game at least once when you launched your site and searched feverishly for the perfect name.
If you are an affiliate, you've probably had to play the game a few times times and continue to play the game every time you build a new site.
If you're an online marketer or web designer you probably play the game all the time, but sometimes with other people's money.
A good, memorable domain name is the foundation of every great web presence. Some people buy domain names for their own web site, some buy them for fun, some for profit, some even invest in them, and play them like the stock market - but needless to say, lots of people play the domain game in one way or another.
A while back I got into the domain game, and now I’m totally, helplessly hooked. Researching, finding, buying and selling domain names, has become an addiction for me - just like going to Vegas is for some people. I dream up new domain names in my sleep and every TV commercial gives me a new domain name idea. My friends are starting to call me the “Domainiac.” The other day I got an email from a business associate addressed to “Whois Linda!”
So I figured I'd share my passion, addiction, resources, and tools in this new WebProWorld forum, so we can all play the game together. After all, domains are the foundation of everything web and this IS WebProWorld, right?
Here are a couple good general domain name resources to get us started:

Remember this is YOUR forum so let us know what topics you would like to discuss such as domain keyword tools, good value Registrars, domain valuations, how do you grab good expired domains, what are the best places and ways to sell a domain for top dollar.
So do you play “The Game”?
