Elliot Silver (Elliot's Blog) has pointed out that paid advertising is a good indicator of how well a domain will monetize. On the other hand, the term gets a lot of hits.
BTW, I highly recommend Elliot's Blog for all newbies; he's a bright young man who offers some great domaining tips. He also seems like a very thoughtful and nice person who believes strongly in "giving back" to the community.
I'm not sure how lived.info could play out as a financial venture, though I could see a genealogy website possibility.
I look forward to some day snagging a one-word domain without its being plural (jennifers.tv , critiques.tv, and Bonuses.tv), past tense like "lived," or a gerund (Rescuing.mobi). I suspect I won't find such pristine domains in GoDaddy's fire sale or as a regular reg.
After a month of so-so traffic, 1-25.com has suddenly picked up significant traffic, 20 hits in one day; I was scratching my head, when my husband informed me that it's football season, so it's possible that I'm getting some type-in traffic from football fans.
This would be a great Top 25 of everything site, perhaps a user-generated site/forum. Hmmmm.
Domaining is habit-forming, I'm afraid. I need to get cracking on developing some of these sites.
