Hmm.. I might have exaggerated that a bit.
Ok. You identified your niche, you got your articles ready, now just register a good domain.
"Just"?
Let's face the truth here. Premium domain names like lawncare.com are not as easy to come by as one would like them to be.
So, what to do?
Hyphenate
A hyphen might not be the worst idea. According to Matt cutts, google sees hyphenated terms as 2 words.
.net .info or .mycountry
Search engines don't care what domain ending you are using. Using a country specific one like co.uk or .de or .es might get you some love from local search engines and directories.
Pre- and suffixes to the rescue
A prefix is a part that comes before, a suffix comes after a word.
My advice is to make yourself a list of good words to check for.
No, I am not going to provide you with a pre-made list. Why? I have two reasons for this:
1 Limited value. Almost anything can be used for this, so the value of a 1000-terms list would be limited.
2 Really, making your own list to is the way to go. That way it is more personal (closer to you) more targeted (closer to your niche) and does not consist of 'run-of-the-mill' terms (more unique).
What I will provide, though, is a framework along which you can flesh out your own list.
This framework consists of categories you can fill out to arrive at a comprehensive overview.
Quality
This refers to all pre- and suffixes that talk about the quality of your domain and/or content.
Examples:
Great, 5star, Best, Ultimate, ...
In using these, be sure to make sense.
www.greatlawncare.com could be used, ultimatelawncare.com might be a bit over the top. 5star is considered quite spammy in the UK.
Type
This refers to the type of site you are running.
Examples:
Portal, info, arcade, ...
Normally used as a suffix. As in gamersarcade.com
Fantasy
This is for made up pre- and suffixes. Although there might be no connection to the site(s) you are creating, this strategy might be quite succesful. I know a German AM (only met him once, but have seen the effect of his stuff in the SE I worked at)
Who does this with great success.
Examples:
Animal names, like: fox, bear, wolf..
Titles: dr, prof, butler, ...
Keeping these in mind it should be quite easy to make your own list and be prepared when it comes to choosing your next domain name.
