I was pleasantly surprised that Frank Schilling has resurrected his Seven Mile Blog.

Unfortunately, his outlook on the domain parking business is somewhat bleak. This could explain why he is taking offers on his portfolio.

As some of you may know, vertical marketer QuinStreet held an IPO last week. The IPO originally was priced at $17 to $19 in the prospectus, but trading opened on Thursday at $15. Since then, QuinStreet (NASDAQ:QNST) stock has marched lowered touching lows of $13.94 today.

QNST should have taken a hint from FriendFinder when they decided to postpone their IPO, citing an inclement stock market environment.

Domainer Michael Berkens has pointed out that the ICANN, a supposedly non-profit organization, is pushing for gTLDs because it is all about money.

Regardless of the motive, here are 3 reasons why gTLDs are doomed to fail.

1) .NET is a bellweather of TLD failure
The .NET domain has been around for decades now, but has very weak adoption in popular culture. When was the last time you heard of a .NET millionaire?

2) Only 2 or 3 Letter TLDs are acceptable
A popularly cited gTLD is Wolfgang Puck’s proposed .FOOD gTLD. He is an idiot thinking that this could possibly gain traction. .MOBI and .INFO have been rampantly pumped by domain registrars, but I have never EVER seen a .MOBI or .INFO in the top 10 of Google SERPS. There is something about 4 letter TLDs that makes them look straight up SPAMMY.

3) Internet users are too stupid
The .COM will always be paramount, because Internet users are shockingly stupid and resistant to change. Even if a Internet company develops a pristine web property like a widgets.FOOD, there will always be people typing in widgets.COM into the navbar… So even then, the company would be forced to acquire widgets.COM anyway…. So what was the point of building the site ona gTLD in the first place??!

The black hat torrent trick can be used within minutes of reading how to use it. All the webmaster has to do is download a file from a torrent, that has been downloaded a lot, or a file that you think would be a popular download. Just stay away from anything copyrighted that is illegal to share! Make sure that the file that you find a download is related with your website in one way or the other.

After you have downloaded the file from the torrent change over the read-me file into a HTML file. One of the common known facts about downloaded files is that the read-me file is always opened and because of this fact you can see how this trick will give you tons of traffic. Here goes an example, so that you understand completely what type of file you should download for promotion of your website.

For example, lets say you run a Linux forum and you want to drive traffic to your site. All you would need to do is seed some Linux distributions that have your readme.html file inside the package. When people download the file, they will open your readme.html. You can do whatever you want with this readme.html file. You can redirect it to your core site or fill up the page with PPC ads.

Or maybe you have a celebrity site with hot pics of Britney Spears? You could upload a hot video of Brit with your readme file in it, and spread it on torrent sites. If you are creative enough, there are tons of things you can do with this trick.

The reason this traffic works so well because you only have to be online for so long before other people have downloaded your file and after that you no longer have to be on the torrent site for your file to be downloaded. The people at downloaded your torrent file are not only potential traffic they are also called “seeders”. The reason that these people are called seeders is because now you don’t have to be on the torrent for your file to be downloaded by another torrent member. This has endless possibilities and can get your readme file which is also a pop up in traffic to your webpage past through 10 different torrent communities without sucking down your bandwidth.

Now you’re all set to start getting massive amounts of traffic from the torrents today, so don’t let those white hat SEOs push you around, use this trick to get more traffic than you ever had in mere days.

Here are some torrents or you could use it on:

Let’s face it. Yahoo sucks. I get only a light trickle of traffic from them compared to the avalanche of traffic I get from Google.

BUT, one thing I’ve discovered is that Yahoo Answers actually delivers more visitors AND higher quality traffic (low bounce rates).

To get traffic form Yahoo Answers, just get out there and answer questions about topics in your niche.

Example: For this example we will pretend that you have a website on Search Engine Optimization. Search for Search Engine Optimization questions here is a sample question and answer:

Yahoo Question: I am looking to increase my internet traffic? I have tried many things but none of them have worked out. Please help me!!

Your Answer: It was hard for me to find ways to increase my traffic, there are instructions on how to increase your web traffic at http://www.damndomainer.com (you must have the http:// in the URL for it to be clickable inside of Yahoo Answers).

This is not only directly answering a question, this is getting a visitor who needs the webmasters website to help them. Yahoo Answers has a very low bounce rate in comparison to the Google Search Engine. When you look at the stats below you will see, not only this giving the webmaster one back link on Yahoo Answers.com. This one back link is then turned into twenty six backlinks over the twenty six different Yahoo Answer severs.

This kind of tactic, which is Yahoo Answers Questions floods in the traffic. I only answer 2-4 questions twice a day is what I have been doing and look at the stats that come from it.
