Also... be careful when buying domain names that were used previously. I once picked up an just-expired domain name that I thought was nice and then it took me 2 years (!) to get Google to index it. I don't know what the problem was, because archive.org showed it was just a generic search page previously. At that time I registered a company with the same name and I didn't want to give it up. 2 years wasted struggling for an identity! (Fortunately my business did not depend much on search.)
