HI, I am looking for a domain name.

Does anyone have any tips of tools to help me research common search terms and strength of competition of similar domain in Google?

I don't want a name really similar with a strong player ?

How to tell if it is one of these de-listed spammy blogs in the past.

Thanks.

    Nowadays, having the keyword in the domain name doesn't have a real effect.

    My recommendation would be to choose something simple related to your business and make sure that nobody has used before to avoid any penalty that the domain might have.

    Hi Duck.

    1. Check out Google's Keyword Planner - you'll the strength, competition of the search traffic of certain keywords.

    2. You can always make your own. Look them up on GoDaddy or HostGator - both are web hosting sites.

    3. Can't answer that, but your best bet is to simply create a new one.

    With that aside, if you're looking to create your own DM, utilize the SLAM DUNK rule.
