Check out http://www.namecombo.com It’s a really good bulk domain name generator and company name generator. You can find available domain names from a huge selection of word lists. You can customize lists with your own words which lets you come up with literally thousands of possible domain names incorporating your keywords if you wish. It offers bulk domain name lookup and domain registration. There is also both a three word version and four word version which are great for keyword driven domain name variations.

@Laura,

I like it. Thanks for pointing it out.

One resource that I have found helpful in searching for brandable domain names is freshdrop.net. You can use their powerful search features to scan tdnam.com, pool.com, namejet.com, ebay, snapnames.com, etc. for keyword combo names, premium 5 letter domains, etc.

Once domain i picked up this way is FENGO.com, which by the way, i now have on auction at Sedo.com !

The bottomline is it is essential for a website to have a name that someone can easily memorise and also do well in the search engines especially if the website is new. In these cases it may be best to have more than one name.

Frank raises a good point as the targeted type-in traffic acquired from keyword rich domains gives a leg up to any new site, not to mention the built in SEO benefits. Purchase an older, keyword rich domain and you’re in even better shape. That’s the exact strategy I used when finding a domain for this site.

There is definitely a demand for brandables though, particularly in the social-networking and blogosphere space. Sometimes a brandable name just fits better than a rigid keyword domain, especially for non-commercial, self interest sites that might not have the financial means to acquire a quality type-in domain. I wouldn’t recommend them to domain investors for long term holds. They don’t monetize well and unlike keyword rich, type-in domains, there is a large untapped supply of them which puts a hard cap on their values.
