Every single person that has purchased a part from him speaks highly of him and tells their friends. He is a brand unto himself, whether he planned it that way or not. Plus, he has the advantage of a unique name entering a saturated market of store names that have 'arcade' and 'parts' somewhere in the title. @Brian At the time I wrote this, I was out of time for the night to look at my domain bookmarks. Now I can't find them. I know I have been to Bust A Name before for domain name generation, but I hadn't been to instantdomain. That is a fun one, automatically returning results as you type. Thanks for including. @Chris A

It provides live results without page refreshes. So it is very quick to check lots of ideas. :-) http://www.bustaname.com/ has a tool which gives you suggestions based on keywords you provide.

If you are starting a blog, personality and identity are huge, so you'll got a lot more room to play around. For a business, you may want to work with keywords, but there's also a lot to be said about occupying your own unique space, too. therealbobroberts.net is probably the first site that comes to mind whenever I think of arcade part retailers, and his site follows none of the above rules (but please, don't follow his lead when it comes to the actual design!). While generic keywords do play a role in search engine placement, your content will be the biggest deciding factor, along with trustworthy incoming links, etc. With that said, all of Jeff's final notes are spot on.
