    Good advise!

    I would also include CCTLDs
    .de is the second most bought extension

    Also stay away from typos and company mispellings

    I have a question along these lines... I keep seeing the question asked, "Who is the domain registered with?". Why do potential domain buyers care about that? Is it due to the difficulty in transferring the domain from that registrar?

    Good info.

    Do not concentrate on generic domain names only. Sometimes that adjective is what makes it more desirable.

    Well i would rather say that many domainers keep accounts a few registrar and the domain is already on the registrar then they can get a free push , otherwise they have to transfer the domain to their registrar. This adds approx 10$ more to the value of the domain.

    Buyers who are buying high price domain do not consider it as a priority but they like it this way.

    Hey i never took credit for it, if you see the blog i have given reference to the original content holder.
    Well it's a rule , never claim something which is not yours.

    did they give you permission to steal entire article? otherwise stealing all their content and linking back isn't fair use.

    My friend, i think you are new to bloging:confused:.
    If you get something form other and you show from where you get the content (i .e give reference to original article) then only you can keep the content on your blog or site, the owner has no problem.
    If you don't give the reference, then it's a sort of violating copy rights. And the owner can put up a claim.
    Since I have put up a reference, then the owner have no Prob.
    I think that might have given your answer.:)

    you stole it. yup you gave me an answer. You obviously never heard of fair use:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use#Amount_and_substantiality

    You CANNOT steal the content in its entirety and simply linking back doesn't make it right. Quoting a small section is fine, stealing whole thing is not. Perhaps you are new to blogging or just lack any morals/ethics. Take your pick.
