I'm using Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com when writing my articles. But the default Google search bar seems to be a very effective dictionary tool for me. Noticed the <em>definition</em> link in the Google SERPs? I often use that too and it points to Answers.com. I hope they won't change Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com's content as they already are excellent. Great news! I’m using Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com when writing my articles.

Using the calculators found in various places on the web, my domain is worth anywhere from a couple hundred to almost 10k.
