    A domain that you can see a clear use if you were to develop it, and/or has a good chance of reselling with a good profit margin.

    A good domain name is one that can help a business establish a presence or generate leads for the products or services it offers.

    A good domain has value in web commerce. That value can be realized in many different ways: ads/ parking, re-sale, development,etc..

    What makes a good domain?

    Is the domain clear? Does it make sense?
    Is the domain short (1 or 2 words; 2-3 characters)?
    Is the domain a product or service?
    How many people are searching for keyword(s) in your domain?
    Can this domain be developed into a business or be used as an asset to further an existing business?

    e.g. DJ.com Shoes.com, WebHost.com, WeddingPlanners.com, etc. are all good domains.

    What makes a bad domain?

    The domain is too long.
    The domain is not clear.
    The domain contains too many hyphens.
    etc.

    Edit: This of course isn't a rule as I'm sure their are exceptions, but your gut should tell you what is a good domain and what isn't.

    Ask yourself: would I spend thousands of dollars to buy this domain to help my business or to build a business? Be brutally honest. If not it's probably not as great a domain as one might think.

    Just my 2 cents.

    You don't have to explain what is it.

    Yeah this, plus I would also say a domain which sells itself. A truly great domain will have end users coming to you.

    A domain that is working for you. Examples: keyword domain that helps SEO on a site or ,like others were saying, brings buyers to you with out you doing anything (maybe besides parking it). Free labor
