Yahoo Backdoor...

This secret?
Buy an expired domain with your keyword that already has a Yahoo listing... :)

Thousands of domains expire everyday taking their traffic, their search engine rakings and their links with them. Whether the owner forgot to renew, closed their business or just lost interest in the site this valuable source of instant traffic is being wasted.

Instead of letting these domains remain inactive you can use them to drive traffic to your site, create sales and improve your search engine rankings.

The key to making this idea work is finding expired domains that are related to your niche. To do this go to http://www.deleteddomains.com and then just search by keyword.

A slightly more expensive, but far better resource for this is http://www.FallenDomains.com

There you can also search by keyword and results will include traffic information such as Google, Yahoo, Looksmart, dmoz and inktomi rankings.

Plus, you can store up to 35 keywords and then they'll email you anytime a new domain with your keyword is about to become available.

Fallen domains has a free trial from time-to-time, but the $25/month fee is worth the price. If you only find 1 good domain you will have still saved over $200 on the Yahoo! Listing fee alone. Not to mention the branding power of a short, compelling, keyword rich domain name.

I think this is a sweeeeeeet idea...

Kind Regards,

After 2 days of unsuccessfully trying to pay for this friggin software.. hehe.. I got impatient and tried to find something else, I downloaded scripts and tried various domains, but strangely enough, a free software program that runs from your desktop seems to have whet my appetite..
It's called eepire Expired Domain Finder and you can download it free from their homepage.
Basically, it's not as fancy as the paid ones, but still has the same tricks.. you generate the keywords that you want it to monitor.. then it automatically generates thousands of combinations of those keywords .. and then sorts them by:
High Profile / Mid Profile / Low Profile and Registered.

You can automatically find various domain names using eePire:

Browsing
Search Yahoo, Google, DMOZ
All 3 letter names
All 4 letter names
Name Generation
Dictionary Search
etc..
This give you a very powerful way to find available domains.

This tool will allow you to find and register domains quickly and easily.
