I was lucky enough to be forwarded a “review copy” of Daniel Scocco’s new E-book titled “Killer Domains” last week and I thought that the readers here at Dreamweaver Spot would be interested in it as it provides some great tips and techniques on finding that Domain Name that will help make you websites stand out from the crowd and become a brandable asset.

For those of you who do not know who Daniel is (he is the other Daniel), he is the man behind DailyBlogTips.com, DailyWritingTips.com and DailyBits.com. He also appears on ProBlogger quite regularly as well. So he certainly knows his stuff and I was really keen to read this and write a review for you all.

Let me first start by mentioning that Domain Names are the “Real Estate Market” of the internet world and some people make a decent living just from buying and selling domains. Check out a few of the market places like SitePoint, DigitalPoint, DNForum and you will see what I mean.

The book starts off by giving you a bit of an insight into the magnitude of the Domain Name market and let me tell you with 291 domain registered or renewed every minute it is HUGE. Chapter 2 then goes into detail about the 7 Characteristics of a Good Domain Names from finding one that is Brandable and the importance on registering the .com extension, as most users may know the website name and therefore will just whack on the .com at the end. If you don’t have that then traffic may go to a competitor. There are some great tips in that section.

The next Chapter takes a good look at the Process of Researching Domain Names and again there are some great tips and techniques given and even some tips on Buying and Existing domain name, and adding suffixes and prefixes. Keyword Research is next up and something that I despise doing but it is an important part of the process. Daniel highlights some of the best tools to use both free and tools that will cost you some of your hard earned.

There are 55 pages to this book, but 25 of them are taken up by a comprehensive list of Prefixes and Suffixes that you can actually download anyway, so really there is 30 pages of great content. Overall there was some great stuff in there and I would highly recommend it to anyone that is starting a website and needs a Great Domain Name or if you are developing sites or blogs for businesses and for just $17 it is well worth it. even if it is just for the list of prefixes and suffixes!
