Daniel Scocco, of Daily Blog Tips fame, recently released his first ebook entitled ‘Killer Domains: Tools & Techniques to Find the Perfect Domain Name‘. He was kind enough to send me a copy to review the ebook for all of you 
Killer Domains: Tools & Techniques to Find the Perfect Domain Name
Retailing for $17, the ebook has 55 pages although 25 of these pages list prefixes and suffixes for domains (400+). Compared to other ebooks I have read, 30 pages of content seems quite small however I actually think this is good in some respects as some ebooks have a lot of filler. Daniel has stayed clear of that and has written a well structured concise book which has many useful tips, suggestions and links.
In total there are 7 chapters in the book
- Introduction
- The 7 Characteristics of Good Domain Names
- The Process of Researching Domain Names
- Keyword Research
- Prefixes and Suffixes
- Tools and Resources
- Registering and Managing Domain Names
Who is this book for?
The majority of this ebook is clearly aimed towards beginners and those who do not have much experience with registering, buying and selling domains. This ebook will give you a good introduction and summary of methods you can use to find a suitable domain for your upcoming project. Daniel also talks about why certain types of domain names are worthless whilst others are worth their weight in gold!
Although the first few chapters are aimed at newbies, experienced domain traders will still find value in buying this ebook. The tools which are referenced in chapter 6 are great but for me, it’s the prefix and suffix list which really makes this ebook worth the money. There are over 400 suffixes and adjectives listed in this ebook. Anyone who has spent weeks trying to find the right domain name for a project knows how handy this is. Not only that, there is a link to download an exel spreadsheet with the whole list split into different prefix and suffix categories.
Overview
When I first started working on the web finding a domain name could sometimes be time consuming but as every year passes it’s definately getting more and more difficult due to the increasing number of internet users. That is why I think this ebook is great value for money. As someone who had to spend over a thousand dollars to get the BloggingTips domain name I recognise the difficulty in registering a good domain for the website you want to start (believe me, I spent weeks searching for a suitable domain before this blog was launched a year ago!)
Bloggers who are looking to register their first domain should definately put this on their shopping list. Short term it’s sure to point you in the right direction for your domain and long term it should prove incredibly useful as a reference.
Webmasters who have bought and sold domain names for many years may already be familar with the tools and methods discussed in this ebook however personally I believe that the prefix and suffix list is worth the $17 itself.

Thanks for giving us the review…..
it looks like a very useful ebook.
I tried domain buying and selling, but I just didnt do well…. maybe I will pick up this ebook and check it out… I don't know though.
I have taken some domains in the past, they doing very well. But i always feel i still need to improve. Thanx for the review. I think i need it.
Looks great, there are many points worth expanding on, should be great to read. I know picking out a domain can be a little harder these days, and you have to get pretty diligent with the hows and whats about getting a name, if you want it to be marketable.
I have purchased probably 100 or so domains over the past 12-24 months, certainly not any big domainer but the one I ended up liking the most was a domain hack I choose for a personal blog, d.amasc.us
Nice post, thanks.
Very useful looking ebook. Domain names are extremely important. People do not realize that they are really hooking the long tail etc instead of the short tail.
I think a good domain name is one of the most important things you can do for your site. Everyone should learn all they can about seo and domain names. This way they will do the research find some good keywords and find a great domain name even if they have to buy a existing one. If you find a good easy to remeber domain name with keywords in it that is half the battle for seo.
