Howdy, y'all. I'm Drover. I've done a little adsense and some other things online, but I'm a newbie with regards to domain stuff except for a couple that I use for personal stuff. I hope this is the place for someone trying to learn to ask a few questions.

First, besides this forum and others like it (I've found several), what are some good places to read about domaining? Maybe someplace with some good articles?

2) What do you think is the best approach for a newbie looking to learn about this business. Is it better to look for domains to park for income or look for domains to buy with the intention of reselling? Is it better to register fresh names or buy expiring ones, or even buy existing ones at auction?

3) What kind of research process do you use before you buy/register a domain? I assume it's different depending on whether you're registering a new one or researching an existing one...what kinds of checks do you make? What kind of traffic are you looking for? What kinds of tools do you use? Etc...?

I know that's a lot of questions, but any help is much appreciated.
