What are the best domains to develop? See poll. Rep for thoughtfulness!!

Please see the poll, and post any additional comments in the thread. I truly appreciate it!!

(Personally I have a huge portfolio and steady sales. However, I'm looking to develop beyond WP and want to carefully choose which names.)

good question - but yikes, too many variables.

I'd say (1) pick a subject you have an interest in already, because you're going to be spending a lot of your life thinking about it. and then proceed if (2) it has large enough searches or (3) a really high CPC in some aspect.

then for this subject, pick the best name to your budget that has - if possible with (4) high resale (5) high wordtracker (6) high existing traffic, etc etc - the best your budget can afford.

and you have to have a cool concept/ design in presenting it!

personally i don't develop my highest resell names, as i want these available in the markets and i want to keep my developed sites indefinitely. i pick the most brandable/ memorable names for myself, and with these you can add the most value with a great site anyway. besides, uber generics i often find a little bland, and if it's good enough for google, yahoo, ebay et all.

how about developing ones that you have a genuine interest in the topic as therefore you will find it easier to write content and update it

Very good and helpful responses...thanks!!!

Still wondering though...assuming a bunch are topics I truly care about and know about, which one in the poll would be a good tie breaker if I want to make sure my time pays off?

I'm going to vote for the one that offers the most available affiliate opportunities - even if its not there (... it probably is)
