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,

Penny

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.

Update Your Sitemap With This Free Google Sitemap Creator

Today I listened to a seminar from Jack Humphrey and his info was so great, I decided to check out his blog. And on it, was this great gem for creating your Google Sitemap for free.

Quote from Jack Humphrey:

Not only is the darn thing free, it is the first desktop sitemap maker (all Windows version that matter) that ever came out and it beats the pants off all the paid sitemap creators I checked out!

Reminder: Just because everyone in the top 10 results is charging for something doesn't mean there isn't something comparable out there for free.

In this case, it appears we have a bonafide slam dunk. GSiteCrawler is not only free, it's actually the easiest and best sitemap creator I've ever used.

(Oh - and it does ROR files, uploads your files for you automatically, and, though I haven't found the tab yet, surely does the dishes as well.)

You can download it free from: http://gsitecrawler.com/

InfoSelling - Research tools for info products: Adsense Font

Been trying to find out what Font that Adsense is so I can match text and ads to it.. reading forums and trying out the various suggestions, only one looks right to me though:

h3{ font: bold 11px arial, sans-serif; text-decoration: underline; margin: 10px 0 0 0; }

p { font: normal 11px/14px arial, sans-serif;

$40,000 a month with Google Adsense

4 Days ago I read the Getting The Most out of Google AdSense ebook and decided to implement one of the changes he suggested in his ebook on the articles at my natural healing website.

I was getting lousy returns from my adsense ads - mostly less than $1-$2 a day (see frownies below).

I hope you can see the pattern below because I see it clearly - since changing my ads to conform with just one of the tips in this ebook (normally $97 but you can download it for free in a moment). It went from avg < $2 a day to up past $7.00 on the 2nd day, just 1 day after implementing the tips!
Day 3 - $2.86, Day 4 - $2.42, and Day 5 - $4.25 the past 3 days. Ok, I'm not a millionaire yet, but just by those figures which aren't very good anyway, I can see that by implementing just one tip, I have had an immediate improvement of my clickthru rates seeing as 15 out of the 25 days was less than $2.
I can only imagine that it would improve even more dramatically if I sat down and implemented all of the tips!

I'm very seriously considering buying the program that the guy who wrote the ebook created after his book was a success (Adsense Gold) because his tips obviously work and I'd like to learn more from someone who makes $40,000 a month from adsense alone.

I didn't implement all his tips because of the time factor and because I've realized now that I've been targeting the wrong markets completely!
Some advertisers pay as much as $30-$70 per click - if you have a site targeting those, you've got it made. My clicks get me about 2-8cents a click lol, so I'm going to start fresh with the right market! :)

I will post a review if I purchase it after I've used it, but if you want the free ebook in the meantime and get a noticable, immediate improvement on your current clickthrus: Download his ebook for free here.

Update: 29/04/06: All websites that I have adsense on... March USD9.96.. April so far: USD80.87 -- Woohoo...
