I focus on what my content is about and try my best to get something related to that content of my site.

If I think I need to I will. Depends on what type of questions I may have and what kind of information I find related to the site.

Sum up all of the content on your site in a short word or phrase. I usually come up with a title, which I often use as a basis for the domain, before I think of all the content though, so this is never an issue.

| I try to pick a domain that tells what the website is about before the user even gets there. |

I just go to www.whois.sc domain suggestion tool and type in keywords. I get some examples there and then either I use suggested ones or make my own combination

I tend to try and get names that relate to the product on offer. Up to yet I have managed to get some good names, but it is getting harder and harder to find very good names. It takes a few hours of brainstorming names and keep trying there availability.

It is best to go with keyword ofcourse but like you said it is very hard to get good domains. And a lot of them are registered and just sitting empty. I don't like that politics of parked domains

I think that since keywords are getting harder and harder to come by I am looking for names that I can market. They just have to be short and catchy. Something like Fark.com etc...

but it is better to have keyword even if you have to go with .net or .org

I avoid .org extension. It's designed for non-profit organizations. Although some for-profit sites use .org extension, it just doesn't look right. It doesn't send a right message.

basic rules for me have always been short but descriptive, easy to spell and on either a .com or .co.uk

Shorter the better, easy to say out loud in one phase with out having to explain bits of of it, relevant keywords.

Yeah, I agree though this site has a pretty long domain name .
