New to domain investing

[pr3da70r]

I just recently started investing in domain names. It's VERY addictive! I can't stop registering domains now... Haha. I bet most of these are not worth much more than reg fee, though I have good hopes for a few of them :gl:

I've read through as much material as I could find so far (NP has been an invaluable source). I know when registering a domain, it's best to stay away from hyphens in a name, look for actual words, and also avoid numbers. I also know that .com is very valuable, followed by .net. The other TLDs are not worth as much unless you have a very, very good domain name, and also certain words go better with certain TLDs rather than others.

Any additional things I should be watching for?

Here's most of my portfolio so far. What are your thoughts? Yay or nay?
Note: The KAC and KAEC ones were registered in hopes that king abdullah (economic) city might want to have these, but either way KAC is a pretty workable pair of letters.

And one of my most important questions... how can I pick up on the art of appraising a domain? Surely this is critical (albeit complicated) in deciding how much a domain is worth paying for.

Thanks in advance, everyone!

That's cool stuff! Wasn't there a way to use overture as well to see search frequency or how many people advertise for a certain keyword?

Thanks Corey Yeah I did get a couple from dropped names. lake side poker (dot) net is one of them (should have it in a couple of days). From what i've seen so far, parking domains isn't really profitable anymore. People don't really click ads.

I've taken the advice and am trying to develop a few of those domains That should bring in some traffic and make the domains more valuable.
