How to verify a good name, etc.

I just started domaining Friday. How do I tell if a domain will a good one. Is it a good idea to run the name through domaintops.com and to put it in google search in quotes such as "out of the green". Are there other ways to check to see if a name is good? Once I list and park a domain on sedo.com, what else should I do? Should I list it elsewhere as well? Do I need to put in keywords someplace?

Thanks for any suggesions.

The domains that appear first upon a keyword resp. phrase search are more likely to be visited. Any page can be ranked in SERP Top 5 on Google upon a certain search. Current revenue depends mainly of current content and other current factors. Current ...
