People ask me all the time to research and purchase domain names for them. The research and purchase process is very straightforward and you can easily do this part, yourself. (note: knowing what to do with the domain name to get it working is not so straight forward, though.)
When choosing a domain name, my advice is to use some of your important key phrases in it, keep it as simple as possible, keep it easy to remember.
For instance, my friends named their software business, Party Plan Solutions, as they build software for direct selling party plan businesses. Party Plan Software and Party Plan Solutions are two of their top key phrases. After this and my SEO tune-up of their website, they rank very high for their chosen key phrases…the domain name helps.

I’d like to share another great tool; one that I regularly use to help choose my clients’ key phrases. Like all of the tools I use/promote here, it’s free…
If you enter your key phrase, for example, Oregon Coast Vacation Home Rentals, this tool not only suggests other key phrases, it also shows which ones are more popular in Google searches. You can also filter the results in a number of ways if you play around a little with the tool.
So, obviously, if you are trying to decide your top 3 key phrases out of a long list, you can use this tool to choose ones with the highest number of searches, among other factors.
