You might want to send a confirmation to the legitimate contact email address obtained through whois before accepting exchange propositions.

P.S. domainnameexchange.com seems to be available

I'll take it! ;)

I really like the idea of a pure domain exchange - no transfer of money, just a straight domain swap service. No obvious business model in it though.

For a business model, you might find an advertiser or two wanting the eyeballs of people looking for domains.

Another good way to monetize would be to analyze for common typos around the domain names being traded, and then offer those domains for sale via affiliate links to registrars.

Not anymore. I went to register it, and it's gotten by James Davis.
