How I Bought A Domain For A Third Of Asking Price

I just bought a domain for a third of asking price and since it worked so well, I thought you might want to know what happened.

I was planning a niche website and started to check the best domains related to it on http://whois.domaintools.com.

Best domains are short, catchy and include the main keyword or a synonym.

For example, if you were planning a site which would share lots of tennis tips, you’d want to check if tennistips.com, tennistips.net, tennis-tips.com and similar domains are still available.

I checked about 7 or 8 domains, used synonyms that tried to say the same thing using other keywords when I came across a domain that was for sale:

Widgetbucks – A User Review

I want to thank Yogi from All About Coffee Makers for sharing her Widgetbucks review on this blog!
