    I like using Domaintools as I can find names by kewyords and over various extensions.

    What criteria do you wish to search by? What are you looking for?

    Yes, are you looking for dropped domains or page rank or keywords etc.

    I'm sure we could help but we need more of an explanation.

    I think maybe he asks about how to check whether the domain name is available or not.. Is that right?

    instantdomainsearch.com

    But if you go onto the vendor's site, i.e. godaddy or namecheap or whatever and do a search for your domain name. It will tell you whether it has been taken or not.

    It depends on what type of topic that you are looking for, actually i have several domains (but the topic might not be in your desiration) which i target to have low competition and high CPC from adsense.

    Please PM me if you would like to purchase this kind of domains and the price can be negotiated.

    There are tools like dictionaries and bulk whois lookup etc.

    But they all are already used by many people.

    The best research tool is experience and your own eyes. When an experienced domainer sees a domain name he or she knows that this is the one ;)

    Google Ad words keyword tool is best one, first decide your niche and you can easily find out the best keywords and search availability on domain seller. it is best way to find the domain name for your site /blog.
    Thanks

    Dropping.com or FreshDrop.net are the best.

    I generally have an idea of what I want to design first, then I grab a thesaurus and brainstorm a list of brand-able names that target my intended design, preference to shorter, easier spell & pronounce names. Check whats available through the registrar, explore variations, and check keyword weight (if any). Narrow it down and go with your gut if nothing else :)
