Keep a list of all domains you own. If you don't know and can't find out easily how many domains you own, you are probably not well organised.
I'd like to second RJ's advice of attending domain conferences: they are well worth the money due to what you can learn and the networking opportunities.
142) When a deal seems too good to be true, always thread carefully. Good deals do come along once a while, but sometimes they are just traps laid down for greedy domainers.
143. Domain names that begin with certain letters seem statistically, not as a general rule, to yield more success because of more phonetic impression.
My theory is from an linguistic point of view, that this order, relating also to speech development, is maintained as an unconscious preference order even in adulthood.
These letters g, m, b, c(/k) and d (+p) especially. Followed by o, a or u after b, or in the very beginning of a words first syllable.
"Newborn - 3 months: Sounds
Your newborn is very limited in making sounds because the oral structure and vocal cords are not well developed yet. Between 2 and 3 months your baby is much better able to control his sounds because he has better control of his vocal cords and oral muscles. Babies start to laugh during these months and start to make sounds in the back of their mouth like "goo" and "ga". They're beginning to recognize different voices, and also inflection and tone in your voice.
4-6 Months: Vocal Play
Now wih better control of their oral muscles they are making sounds that sound more like speech. Your baby is now experimenting an practicing with putting sounds together and making syllables. Your baby has also discovered other sounds that are not speech sounds such as squealing, yelling, and raspberry sounds.
6-11 Months: Babbling
Babbling is the repetition of syllables in sequence like "ba-ba-ba". Unfortunately at this age when your baby says "ma-ma" or "da-da" he is really babbling and typically not attaching meaning to these playful sounds. He is practicing his oral motor skills that he will later need for actual speech."
"Goo" / "da-da" .... google .. godaddy . You have to admit.. coincidence?
Among biggest words/names in various fields to compare with, some old: ma, pa, dad, dog, cat, boy, girl, man, / .com, car, canon (biggest camera brand), Kodak (oldest?), kenwood, camera, computer, coca cola, cash, chaplin, money, market, marantz, mac, mcdonalds, donald duck, dollar, dolly parton, presley, pink floyd, pioneer, pepsi, bucks, big mac, burger, blue, bb king, beatles, bush, bill clinton, carter, barack obama, (adams, madison, monroe, mackinley, buchanan, grant, garfield, cleveland, coolidge, kennedy).
144) If you register domainsellingthings.com don't think hyphens are so bad. For 3 words domains they are even obligatory. And though domain-selling-things.com will be more convenient to type and remember than without hyphens - register them both. I've been doing with a lot of companies and many of them register word-word.com domain instead of available wordword.com that just emphasizes that end users have another way of thinking than domainers.
145> Domaining can be addictive, know your limits. 146>be careful what WHOIS service you use. Some are bogas and will
automatically registered for you.
147> Do not purchase domain names just after reading some buyers preferences. If your name is not sold at the value you wanted or if it is not sold at all, you will be loosing your money. It applies only to those names which are customer/buyer specific. If they can be used anywhere else, you will not be loosing anything. So, just "think coherently" before you make a "wanted name's" purchase.
I have been reading through all the points, excellent thread.
I think I missed a point that sound quite obvious but apparentely is not in the thread (please correct me if I am wrong).
148)
when buying or selling a domain , compare sales for similar names (namebio, DNJ etc) so that you can have a range you can ask/offer for the name without being unreasonable, out of market or even worst underselling a domain for 20$ then see it sold a month later for 2K.
A name is worth what somebody (the market) is willing to pay for it not what you think is worth.

Reason: mispell
149) Don’t park your domain if you can afford to create a (5-10 page) mini-site with some PPC ads. Once you have created it, give it a few links. This will let it get indexed in major search engines. A big SEO factor is site age these days.

I dont have a tip, however could I have everyones permission to collate this and post it on lonelydesigns.com? I can give all of your credit for each tip, it would make a wonderful post and is extremely useful.
150) Register at a few domain parking services and try different types of domains at each one. Different services pay out different amounts depending on catergory, so play around to maximise your revenue.
Here is my one tip.....Go to MoreWords.com and check all words that you want then cut and paste them into a domain search tool........you can check hundreds at a time...
Always do not fluster. Only buy a domain name after your considerations --- the domain is really valuable and has definite development potential/resale profits.
Missed the 150! My tip is if it's for real use, register it for a few years. Google knows that people who are serious about a website will register it for a long time, people after a quick buck will register it for 1 year, and it'll improve your SEO
#104": If you're a beginner, invest in a domain consultant to get you up to speed before you waste your money on bad domain purchases
#105: Although posted in an earlier tip, I'm backing it up again: Make sure that your domain phrase has some adlinks BOLDED in the domain name phrase search results done in QUOTES. The only exception is for future trend domain names that haven't yet matured... be careful in these areas, they are gambles...so know what you're buying by reading up a lot on the new technology. Get smart on your niches!
#106: Check Snapnames regularly for domains that fit your favorite niches. Domains are selling quickly for cheap in their excellent private auctions.
#107: If you're a beginner, pick no more than 5 niche categories. Once you have them established, search the crap out of the internet for all topics on products/services of each of your niches. OWN YOUR NICHES.
#108: Unless you're going to spend $20,000 per domain in the aftermarket on domains with proven revenue generation and traffic stats, then you're going to have to buy at least 1000 domains "out of the basket" (new registrations) to keep competitive. Then consider you have to have at least $8,000 a year to renew those domains. However, if you get ONE good one that sells for $10,000, you paid for all their renewals and pocketed $2,000. What a crappy business!! LOL

It looks like the numbering system has broken down, but here are a few more:
151. or whatever) When buying domains in other languages (whether IDN or Ascii), study the culture, language, and spelling of the target language. Some people even make this mistake in their own language!
152.) When buying technology domains, look ahead but not too far ahead. The physicist in me always cracks up when I see people buying domains in a technology that will not come about in the lifetime of the buyer.
153.) Be wary of the "hype machine". This is one of the best ways to lose money.

"7) Don't register domains while under the influance of drugs or alcohol. (just say no)"
Being drunk and a noob, I read this and immediately went to register drunkdomains.com, only to find that Godaddy charges $548 for it as a "Premium" domain name.
Must be a lot of drunk domainers out there...
and since this is a tip list:
Try dumping a so-so domain on Ebay by adding a pile of digital bonuses that you have master resale rights to. Seems to help.
Wow this thread has so many amazing tips in it that really help noobs like me understand just a little bit more about the business. Thanks so much for doing this thread!
That game sounds really interesting. However, it the link doesn't seem to work anymore. Is it possible to get it fixed?
Anyway my tip:
If .com doesn't work try .net. If that one doesn't work try .org instead and maybe (just maybe) .info. In addition, you can try country codes like ca, se. no.
However, not .me
