Invest in the domain name, most domains that are taken are by domain scrapers and are used as ad landing pages. Most of these domains are for sale at the right price.

Do not buy the typical web 2.0 sounding domain name.

The time of $9.95 domains is over.

Just yesterday I was able to grab a seven-letter domain in th form of ----fly.com. I'm pretty happy about that--it was available and it only cost me $9.95.
