So today I launched http://www.domainfriend.com/ I plan on building a lot more tools than just bustaname, and I decided that having a central place for it all would be good, so you can still go directly to bustaname.com now has a few of our first tools on it.

Whois The first bigger tool we are launching is the "whois". Not only does it display the domains whois info, it also shows you things like Alexa rank/chart, Compete rank, page rank, number of incoming links on google and yahoo, server type, geographical location of server, network provider... and we plan to keep adding stuff to this list. If anyone has something that they want on it, let me know.

E-mail Scrambler The e-mail scrambler lets you put your e-mail on your site without having to worry about it getting spammed. Give it a try.

We have a lot more tools planned, so again, be sure to check http://www.domainfriend.com often.

So here's the deal: I think BustAName is a good service (and I should since I'm the one who made it), but the issue is that it's not getting much use compared to how many people look for domains every day. Now I know wanting to be the "go to place" to find a domain is a bit ambitious, but I think maybe after I launch a few more tools, it might be a plausible goal, or it would be if it wasn't for one little issue, "I'm not any good at marketing." So to compensate for the issue I have decided to release an affiliate program. You might say, "hey doesn't BustAName make its money from affiliate programs to begin with?"... The answer is yes, we make a commission on every domain sold through the site, when a person clicks on one of the "buy" links.

So the BustAName affiliate program pays you a commission off of our commission (at least 50%, usually more) just for driving people to the site. If you have a web site that gets tech savvy traffic, I would recommend putting up a link to BustAName and giving it a try. Hopefully this can be a win-win.
