With nearly 50 Million active domain names registered, the task of finding a good domain name is becoming more difficult every day. The Domain Name Suggestion Tool, located at DomainTool.com  can help with this task.

The Suggestion Tool allows you to enter keywords and get a list of available domain names that use the keywords you entered or are related to the keywords you entered.

As a test, “webmaster resources” was entered and a list of 20 available domain names was generated. From that list, five of the best ones are shown below:

1. WebmasterResourcesSite
2. WebmasterResourcesWorld
3. WebmasterResourcesOnline
4. WebmasterFreeResources
5. WebmasterWebResources

As you can see, the tool can save you time and frustration when you want to find an available domain name.

The Microsoft corporation announced earlier today that it is in the process of making an offer to buy Yahoo for about $45 billion dollars. The buy-out is an attempt for Microsoft to join forces with Yahoo to compete against Google in the Web search market.

Currently, Google controls about 79 percent of the worldwide Web search market while Yahoo is second with about 16 percent and Microsoft is a distant third with 4 percent.

If Microsoft is successful in buying Yahoo, it would be interesting to see how this affects Google’s current market dominance and if either Microsoft and/or Yahoo will drastically change their search algorithms. If so, this could result in changes in search engine optimization techniques used by webmasters.

The following list of new affiliate programs were added to the WebmasterResources.info directory over the past 2 weeks:
