you have a 2 or 3 worder keyword domain
you parked it at a fabulous.com style ppc service
you submitted your domain to major search engines

then what is the next step to make it high traffic website?

*forum signatures
*email signatures for yahoogroups style mailing lists
*free web directory submission
*add it to sedo.com database

any more suggestions please?

You mean, you have domain name parked and are trying to generate extra traffic to earn more revenue?

spam?

i doubt this is the good waytodo it.

if the domain doesn't have type-in traffic or wasn't a generic, old website that had traffic it wont get traffic no matter what :)

because users will visit and go away

hmmm, then registering typo domains seems to be more profitable. there are some typo generators around, they serve many results, is trying the only way to see which typo works better? search engine results also might help about its popularity i think. any ideas?

I would agree. Just getting lots of traffic from mistyped domains does less than folks would hope (or for that matter just getting directly typed domains or domains that used to point to other things).

This is where a lot of the "targeted" traffic sites get their traffic to send.

People are usually looking for something when they visit a domain and don't take too kindly to "Oh I thought I was going to hotmail but let me check out information about penile dysfunction after all..."

It may be worth an occasional visitor that is "actually" interested every couple of days or weeks but is not a windfall for profits even if you pick up a domain name that was once popular.

Don't tell all the unsuspecting people who fund the whole domain broker "industry" though - if the truth was known the market would collapse.
