Listen up I am going to share with you here a GREAT, EFFECTIVE and almost FREE way to drive targeted traffic to your business AND get +100 link popularity INSTANTLY! Yes! This technique is that simple AND powerful! And it’s called: Expired Domain Traffic.
If you did not hear of this method, I am going to show you here a step-by-step procedure to use it to increase the traffic to your websites and affiliate programs. In the case you know about technique, you find this article useful because it will show you a complete different view and allow you benefit from expired traffic in a more effective way you never thought possible before!
Let’s start immediately then with crucial facts you must know about:
Fact #1:
Every day +1000 of domains are forfeited by their owners who fail to renew or pay for the registration fees on their expiring domains.
This creates an incredible, yet little-known opportunity for you to own a domain that may have been registered as long as 3 or 4 years ago! Here are the current statistics:
Domains registered: 36,645,520 Domains deleted: 23,432,480
Fact #2:
4% of the total forfeited domain names are actually available after long years of promotion!
If you are the one to register it, you will get a popular domain name that still drive targeted traffic due to the huge link popularity it has. In other words, you benefit from thousands of dollars and years of marketing promotion for you instantly!
Fact #3:
There are still plenty of excellent domain names out there! You will soon discover that all the best domain names are NOT registered …yet!
Prepare to be amazed!
“But What is the Expired Domain Traffic?”, I hear you say. I’m glad you asked. 
The technique is to register domain names with existing traffic and link popularity and point them to your own websites. Resulting on an immediate targeted traffic boost, link popularity increase and additional advertising for almost nothing. It is that simple!
Now I think you realize the HUGE power of this technique.
With that said, let’s go further. Unlike all the WhoIs websites out there, you should not register any available domain name out there and hope it will bring traffic to you.
No!
You need to register only highly valuable domain names. In other words, you have to locate the domain names with existing targeted traffic and popularity first. “This sounds great!”, you’re probably thinking. But, how can you do that? Some work involved. Lots of profit potential.
With this crucial precaution in mind, we can start the process of redirecting targeted traffic to your own websites…
How to Locate Such Valuable Domain Names?
All you have to do is follow these simple 5-steps instructions:
Step #1. Compile a list of keywords:
You have to make a list of key phrases (not keywords!) related to your business. Each key phrase could contain 2 up to 3 keywords. I suggest you make different combinations for every key phrase. For example, let’s assume you want “cooking” and “book” as keywords. Then you should include the following domain names: “cookingbook.com”, “cookingbooks.com” and “bookcooking.com”.
You can even add different top level names: “cookingbook.net”, “cookingbook.biz” or “cookingbook.co.uk”.
You can also use dashes (hyphens) in your domain names.
You probably heard some voices that will tell you to avoid them. But I think that it is useful for multiple domain names like we are looking for. Because dashes separate important keywords making it more easier for search engines to index your web page. However, I agree that you should not use a hyphenated domain as your primary domain. In our example, you can include: “cooking-books.com”.
Step #2. Browse the WhoIs database for relevant domain names:
Now that you have created the domain names list, it’s time to start the search! You need to browse the WhoIs online database. The directory of registered and available domain names. There are plenty of these websites on the Net. Just check out the Google results for “whois search”. I have listed some below to save you time searching. While surfing the Internet, you can do more research on your own:
http://www.allwhois.com http://www.coolwhois.com http://www.whois.net whois.enom.com
Type in the domain together with the extension (.com or .net) for each domain names in your list. And report the available domain names in another list. You may call it: the Domain Selection List. You can also visit the deleted domains website. Here is the link: http://www.deleteddomains.com
The automatic search engine is worth the try.
Step #3. Select the most valuable domain names:
Before you go registering all the available domain names in your “Selection List”. You need to pick out the most valuable ones.
Just point your web browser to http://www.google.com and use the “link:” operator to check out the popularity of a domain name. For example, search Google for “link:www.cookingbook.com“
The result is a list of the pages that link to the that domain.
The results page will tell you how many website are still linking to that domain name. Pick out those with the greater link popularity. And repeat this task for all the domain names in your “Selection List”. Upon completing the process, you should find a wealth of optimized and valuable domain names!
Step #4. Register them!
You will need to register the domain names in order to point their traffic to your primary website. The registration process locks your domain name so that no one else can take it.
There are plenty of registration services online. You can search Google for “domain name registrar” or you can simply use the one you are familiar with.
Step #5. Redirect them!
Here is where the fun begins. All you have to do is redirect the existing traffic to your own website. And see your website hits stats soar!
Please note that we are talking about targeted traffic not any prospects out there. Because we have already selected domain names for your specific keywords. During step #1. Remember?
So you can do that, if you just place a redirection page that points to your official website into your “fresh” domain name!
Enjoy!
In closing… There you have it; 5 steps to unleash the power of expired domain traffic to your website.
Of course there’s an automated, faster and powerful strategy to grab those valuable domain names. I will cover this strategy in detail in my website. I highly recommend you review it as soon as possible. See you there!

Many Newsgroups will allow you to post links especially if they are related to the topic or question being asked.

Forums are Similar to newsgroups but they are typically broken down by topic

Many Blogs will allow you to post comments. Find 10 or so blogs a day that are related to your web page and post a comment about your web page. Be sure and use Pingomatic to ping the Blog after you post your comment
4 - Give Testimonials

There are many strategies involving circular linking. As a simple example you own or operate 2 Web Sites, called Site-1 and Site-2. You can offer a link partner a link on Site-1 if they agree to link to site-2.
6 - Buy Text Ads
Many e-zines are not only sent out via e-mail but are posted on the Internet. By finding an Ezine that keeps that past articles online you can often buy a text ad for a few days get back links
7 - Submit Articles
You can Write and Submit Articles. This might be perhaps the most viral way to get back links. It is not unusual to have your article re-printed in 25 on 50 Web pages the same day you submit it. As other people read these 25 or 50 pages they in turn decide to reprint your article. It is like a snowball rolling down a never ending hill. The More it Rolls the bigger it get and the faster it go’s.

We at America Web Works find ourselves amazed at the amount
of effort people spend trying to fool or manipulate their
positioning in search engines. People seem to focus on the
shortcuts to success and NOT on their Web site or the true
value their content provides to their prospects.
In the spirit of educating marketers about best practices,
we present this list of ten things you can do to sabotage
your search engine marketing project in a “New York” second.
1. Invisible (Ghost) Text
You have kept a good secret! Your visitors might not have
noticed, but all search engine crawlers have been trained to
be on the lookout for this obvious technique, last
fashionable circa 1997. The search engines may very well
purge all your pages from their index due to deceptive
practices.
And, if you are feeling really frisky, you can make this
technique even more effective if the invisible text has
absolutely nothing to do with the content of the page it
sits within.
2. Frames Usage
Search engines are not “frame-friendly”. Once they
encounter a pesky frame, they either stop flat in their
tracks because the frame doesn’t give them anywhere else to
go, or they locate the pages beyond the frames and point
people to that locale - which won’t have the frames included
with it.
There’s truly no need to use frames and make attempt to
justify it by believing it will improve the prospect’s
experience.
If your prospects can’t uncover your site or they find
slices and slivers of you, how much then have you actually
assisted them?
3. Why Be Fresh And Original?
Why try to be unique, it’s just too hard anyway? It sounds
foolish, but it occurs quite often. If you find something
of real interest on another site, just burning a copy and
slapping your links on the top does not make you a unique
force on the Net. And how many actual shopping sites
selling the exact same discounted products are enough for
the average Web? In my book, the more sites you mirror, the
least effective you will become.
4. Chubby Web Pages (Obesity Kills)
Sites with lots of graphics, animation, Flash and music do
pose many disruptive elements with the search engines.
Not only can it confuse your prospects, who are looking for
obvious information and links, the search engines may not
feel you are very relevant because they cannot be sure what
to make of your Web site.
If you have a site made up of nothing but heavy graphics and
multimedia, not only will you give the search engines zero
to index, you may also aggravate any prospect running with a
slower connection speed. In nothing else, at the least, use
ALT-tags to explain images for text browsers, the hearing
impaired and search engines.
5. Redirects, Redirects, And More Redirects
You may be using “redirects” within your Web pages to track
clicks for advertising and also to pull together information
about your site visitors. Your Web pages may be indexed,
but you may not rank well at all. The search engines may not
be able to see the correlation that exist between your Web
pages because the redirect code often blocks their path,
unlike direct text linkage.
6. Lengthy URL’s
Dynamic (ever-changing) e-commerce and shopping Web sites
that use parameters and their session ID’s often manifest
these difficult URL’s nicely.
If your Web site has lengthy URL’s sprinkled with question
marks, percentage signs, Session ID’s, and at least three
parameters, you’re degrading your hopes for search engine
superiority.
Lengthy URL’s do not look very attractive to individuals
searching and the site URL’s contain calls to various
databases.
Leading the way for the search crawler directly into your
database may quite possibly be a sure-fire way to send them
spidering elsewhere.
7. Forgotten about your No Index Tag and Robots.txt?
Have you created a plan to keep all those nasty search bots
out? Do you have a robots.txt file living on the root of
your site? Does this file contain the following:
User-agent: *disallow /
Or does your Web property have a Meta-tag:
Be extra nice to your Webmaster. He or she may depart from
your company in the future and leave this little monster
behind for you to find at the end of a needlessly expensive
investigation into why the search engines will not make nice
with your Web site.
If you are using the special robots protocol, you will not
want to forget to remove them altogether if you are going
live from a beta testing process.
8. Doorway Pages
Doorway pages (also know as jump pages and bridge pages) and
anything that is created specifically for a search engine
and does not contain more than valuable content or products
for your prospect, is not an effective search marketing
tool.
If you’re not providing true content, the search engines
will discover this and may penalize your entire online site.
If you’ve jammed yourself into this hole, you’ll probably
need to return back to start with a new domain name.
9. Identical Meta-Tags And Titles
You worried over every single unique page of the Web
property while developing it, but you didn’t spend a lot of
concern that each page should be tagged (or classified) that
way.
Imagine walking into your public library where every single
book had the exact same title. What better way to tell a
search bot to “take a hike” than showing them that all of
your content is exactly the same. You will most likely see
fewer of your Web pages indexed and much less traffic than
you might otherwise.
Here’s a quick checklist to consider for your Meta-Tags and
Titles:
* Do they deliver a “call to action”?
* Do they use relevant keywords and phrases?
* Is your “Title” less than 80 characters?
* Do they accurately describe what the page is about?
* Are these consistent with the page?

10. Linking Networks
Did you find a service that’s offering to link thousands of
other Web sites to you today? Taking part in these programs
may effectively indicate to the search engines that you
really do not want their valuable traffic. The quality of
these link pages as well as their overall content “value” to
a human visitor is very low.
Most search engines do come together in agreement and can
severely penalize accordingly. Sites that get marked as
link spammers, may be briskly informed that they should find
a new domain name and begin all over again.
I advise you to take these lessons in “eMarketing Sabotage”
for what they are, guidelines to help you operate your good
e-business practice free and clear of the many pitfalls and
mistakes of other marketers and improve on your own level of
success in conjunction with search engines strategies.
Soon, with a sound plan, a bit of smart work and a solid
attention-to-detail approach, your Web pages may rank
highest among today’s top search engine results.
Happy Marketing!
