		<description>were doing.. I was never a big domain taster, though...not my game...

if you really want my opinion, stick to domain auctions at namejet, snapnames, tdnam, etc. Or dig through the treasure trove of available domains at sedo, fabulous domains, or afternic.

or, shoot, find an existing domain name &#38; website, call the owner up and offer'em cash money for it.. the monetize the existing traffic..</description>

		<description>I see - well Peter I will certainly start looking at the blogs on your blog-roll. In fact I already am and I've got all kinds of questions. I don't know if you wouldn't mind being my Domaining Mentor for a little while.

I've been looking at a few of these blogs and the first thing that stands out to me is this concept of Domain Tasting.. Now I'm not sure if I follow what the big idea is behind this. Is it just testing the type-in traffic of the domain without anything but a placeholder site there? Wouldn't that be pretty thin evidence to base an investment on?

Also, is domain tasting really part of the Domainer game or is it just something that some companies were doing?

Thnks

		<description>hmm, for blogs, run through all those on my blogroll..

books? nothing off the top of my head.. Use your PPC knowledge as a guide and you'll do fine (that's what I did)

		<description>Peter,

Thanks for your post - I get the odd feeling that I might be a SEOmainer but never realized it (light on the domainer side). Or maybe just still half in the closet about it. I'm just obsessed with the idea that one can develop these domains and monetize them... I'm constantly asking my normie friends what they think about certain domain names.

So we have a pretty good handle on SEO, what in your opinion are the fundamental learnings to get quickly through the learning curve on the domaining side? Are there particular blogs, books, or other that you would reccomend?

Thanks
