(Eg. on archive.org). It happened to me already i purchased a domain which had a bad history (which i didnt know about)...means such a domain has some kind of Google penalty, was de-indexed and i was unable to get the site into Google, even after request filed with google. So always make sure you you dont buy a "bad" domain! G. If you buy a domain you NEED to make sure to check that domain history. (Eg. on archive.org).

Most domain names I have wanted to register were taken. You do need to be creative to find a word or a combination of words, that will work out for the best. For example may I suggest to others to use words like the county name of the city/town their business resides in; especially if that county is a great common name to countless counties around the country. For example Orange County. Superb advice, Doug. Most domain names I have wanted to register were taken.

You almost have to make it catchy like what del.icio.us did, otherwise it would tend to get lost. People will remember the root and often attach the .com which would then potentially place them in the laps of your competitors. I'd rather just have a unique .com domain name that might be a bit more longtail but in the end there's no potential for a misplaced suffix.
