Default Picking a Domain name

When I pick a domain name, always go for the shortest possible name that has meaning. No slashes, dashes or numbers. Easy to remember with a broad market that it entails.

That pretty much says it all! If you are spending money on a domain name tell your friend the name then in a couple of days ask him or her what was the domain name that you told them? If they answer you have a good name! Of course this is just a suggestion.

Personally I own about 20 plus domains and plan on waiting for the demand to go up before I sell them.

Domain names are like cable companies of the past, I remember in the 80's when all of the small ma and pa cable companies sold out and made millions. .Com, .Net then .biz will be the names to have with strong emphasis on .com and .net though if you have numbers and hyphens in your name it will take quite awhile to attain value.
