Mathias Ahlgren (new Base One blogger) goes through how to find available domain names containing keywords people search for. All this by using bulk whois tools and Google keyword tool. Simple but potentially so powerful for SEO when you find your gem!

Best way to find a domain is to roll through dmoz - many old out dated sites still be hosted not being used. Then lookup the whois - call the owner - remind them that they actually own the site - then make them a really reasonable offer.This way you get a dmoz listed site, usually with at least a few old back links, topic relavent based on how you searched for it, and tipically old and maintained hosting.

Great advice Shalom. Thanks for sharing. Too time consuming and potentially costly for my liking. I prefer going down the domain auction path, to find expiring domain names, using Snapnames.com, Namejet.com, or (my favorite) tdnam.com (use freshdrop.net and filter on age/dmoz/backlinks/traffic or whatever your preferences are, to hunt down the domain name bargains on tdnam).

Thats one way to go - but you get what you pay for.
