A domain that you can see a clear use if you were to develop it, and/or has a good chance of reselling with a good profit margin.

A good domain name is one that can help a business establish a presence or generate leads for the products or services it offers.

a good domain is a domain that gets at least one purchase offer a month.

A good domain has value in web commerce. That value can be realized in many different ways: ads/ parking, re-sale, development,etc..

What makes a good domain?

Is the domain clear? Does it make sense?
Is the domain short (1 or 2 words; 2-3 characters)?
Is the domain a product or service?
How many people are searching for keyword(s) in your domain?
Can this domain be developed into a business or be used as an asset to further an existing business?

e.g. DJ.com Shoes.com, WebHost.com, WeddingPlanners.com, etc. are all good domains.

What makes a bad domain?

The domain is too long.
The domain is not clear.
The domain contains too many hyphens.
etc.

Edit: This of course isn't a rule as I'm sure their are exceptions, but your gut should tell you what is a good domain and what isn't.

Ask yourself: would I spend thousands of dollars to buy this domain to help my business or to build a business? Be brutally honest. If not it's probably not as great a domain as one might think.

Just my 2 cents.

A good domain is not a bad one.

You don't have to explain what is it.

Other people want it and will pay.

Yeah this, plus I would also say a domain which sells itself. A truly great domain will have end users coming to you.

A domain that is working for you. Examples: keyword domain that helps SEO on a site or ,like others were saying, brings buyers to you with out you doing anything (maybe besides parking it). Free labor
