Many people like to go keyword heavy like goldbracelets.com or cheapcomputerspeakers.com but I think it looks kind of cheap.

On the flip side you can go something brandable which are really good because people remember them and they are unique. The main issue you have to tackle then is to market enough to get your brand well known. Here are some examples of brandable domains that tell you nothing about what the site offers: Google, Amazon, Yahoo.

My personal preference is to go somewhere in between these two types of domains. This means maybe having a keyword that hints what your store is about but also something that makes it unique. To contrast this against a keyword rich domain name here is an example - fastseoservice.com (keyword) seopartner.com (keyword + brandable)

Hope that helps!

Easy to remember is the first choice.
Then brandable or short.
Don't choose domain which is so long keywords such as : ThisIsMyKeywordsDomainWebsite.com
When you complete spelling, people run away

  Hi Anton543,
  
  While not absolutely necessary, it always helps to have a great domain name.
  
  The qualities to look for in a great domain name, are the following:
  Short
  
  Easy to spell
  
  Easy to remember
  
  Naturally, if you can find a generic keyword domain that gets a lot of type-in traffic that can be a big plus as well (i.e. Jewelry.com, cars.com, petshop.com, etc.)
  
  Thanks

Please do not post domains as I am not specifically looking for one. I am just seeking advice. In any case, I wouldn't choose a domain before I've chosen a niche.

Sorry, i misread your thread title. I think a great name is everything. It has to be brandable and rememberable, otherwise it will be lost in the browser history.

I also read the title as "Do you have a great domain name to sell" at first glance.

Anyways, yes it pays to have a great domain. Do put some thought into your domain before purchasing.

But I think the bigger question at hand is what would constitute a grat domain.Ever since Google started cracking down on exact match domains (or keyword heavy domains), it's best to create a unique brand name to differentitate yourself in your niche. It should be short, easy to remember, and catchy would be a bonus.
