For a limited time only, I am offering my new eBook "The Ultimate Guide to Recovering from Penguin 2" for the first 73 people that paypal me $37.
If you had a Warrior Forum account would you sound that crazy? Just one possibility.
^^ This.
I am baffled that people continue to rely solely on Google for traffic. If Google is responsible for sending more than 30% of your traffic, you are Google's Bitch, and they can do whatever they want to your fucking site.
Generate traffic from additional resources. Don't put on Google blinders, like Google is the only way to get traffic. Fuck here is a trick, buy some expiring domains, that have traffic related to your website, and redirect that bitch.
Example, your business is selling pet toys. Go to Godaddy Auction TDNam, or any other expired domain auction site, and search for expired domains with the word dog, cat, or pet toy, or whatever that is related. If you find some gems with traffic (100+ or 1000+), buy that domain (Make sure it is an expired domain, cause if it is public auction the traffic can be manipulated). Then redirect that domain's traffic to your website. Since you did you research on related keywords, and found keywords your target audience uses, you've just increased your website's traffic with targeted audience from someone that was too lazy and let go a domain with traffic. Fuck, you can get domains with 1000+ visitors, good backlinks, and target for $12. Buy expired domains with 1000+ visitors for 10 months, and you've got 10K worth of targeted audience visitors coming to your site. All these people worried about Google making updates here and there make me laugh... Laugh all the way to the bank.
Good luck bros.
I love it when shit like this comes out and all the SEO fags clinch their butt holes. Sooner or later your either going to have to start learning a real skill or start flipping burgers.
This ... but before making the 301, host that fucker for a week or so and stimulate it with some links in places that require a live site. Double kick ass, direct traffic + link juice.
Building networks (loose definition) this way you will NEVER hit a link wall.
+rep ... all that motherfucker does is catch touchdowns.
....all the while this "natural" traffic is most likely, or for a large part - is coming from google. So in the end, you're googles bitch ?
Thanks.
Well, Actually, Google reduces the amount of search engine traffic by 80 to 90% within the first week of a site expiring and being redirected to the default expiring Godaddy page. So the majority of the traffic registered in the auction is mainly from backlinks and organic direct traffic. Now with what erect added, you are bringing back the search engine traffic, which he gave great instructions to resurrected. So the amount of traffic will probably increase by 30 to 50% of the organic within the first 2 months.
Your welcome Dresden, welcome to ballin status...
I think niche specific engines will rise.
First for large niches.
I think it lends itself to the custom tlds too.
www. search.sports
or even a search tld... sports.search - wine.search.. whatever
that will beat out google..
Nobody will beat Google at what we consider to be search.
But that has nothing to do with whether Google will be beat or not.
What we consider "search" today will be something completely different 10, or even 5 years from now. Google won't lose at being a modern day search engine but they could very easily lose at the next paradigm of "search".
I think the next paradigm for search will be question answering (which is what search is designed to do anyways). Instead of typing a search query and getting 10 results, you'll type a search query, get an answer, and maybe a couple results. But even if my idea for what search will turn into is wrong, search will definitely be something different and some other company might beat Google at it.
Just like how Kodak wasn't going to lose at making camera's until suddenly what a camera was changed.
Semantic based search engines already exist but they will never serve as a replacement for traditional search engines such as Yahoo, Google and Bing.
Take a look at Sensebot.
The majority of search queries are navigational and semantic based search engines will not function effectively in this usage. Research based queries however will greatly benefit. It's surprising that Google has not already moved to semantic based search.

I'm thinking something much more along the line of Siri.
It might not even be solely a semantic based search engine. Most of the time if search engines were really doing their job and understanding user intent they would only need to show 1 result - the right one. Understanding human intent is still at very infant stages.
I think Google is moving more towards semantic search (search something like "the hubble" and you will get their knowledge graph to the right), but even in cases where semantic search doesn't help there are huge strides to be made to turn search into "directly solving a persons question/problem".
Google will be perfect on the day i google "make monies online" and i DO NOT get dickrolled... Good luck bro.
The only thing I worry about this strategy is WHY did they allow the domain to expire. If Google deindexed a site and you redirect that (for traffic) to your money site, do you not run a serious risk of harming your site in Google SERPs?
Gotta love/hate Google.
Google accounted for around 75% of my main long-terms client's traffic. I decided to force my lazy ass to find other ways of generating traffic. The last few months have been a great learning experience. Google's share is now down to around 30% and I am loving not having to rely on Google.

I am not worried about Google in their scenario at all. Google has told everyone in the SEO world to eat a dick, so I am telling them to eat that same fat dick. That's why I initially skipped the 301 redirect erect suggested. I only want to concentrated on getting targeted audience traffic from the old domains backlinks and traffic paths they created. The whole reason I am doing this is to reduce the amount of traffic Google is responsible for on average. If I was to buy the domain for the Google Pagerank juice, then again, I am Google's Bitch.
The old webmaster may have had a client that didn't renew or went out of business, they are no longer in that business. The old domain might get traffic from other search engines and not dominate on Google (no website dominating on Google is going to really expire, webmasters know their priorities). So we are looking for gold gem bottom feeders here, that have direct and referring traffic.
I am only after the direct and referring traffic. Forget Google, Erase yourself from Google being a source of traffic forever. Look what has happened in the last 2 years, with the Penguin and Panda updates. They only people complaining are people who focused 100% of their energy on SEOing for Google. Real marketing means just that "MARKETING", getting in front of your targeted audience. If some lazy webmaster let a domain expire with 1000+ people a month because he didn't get #1 for Google, that's his problem. Before there was Google this was the path to getting sales online:
1. build a website
2. get traffic
3. convert that traffic into sales.
4. Scale the most profitable avenue of traffic.
5. Stop wasting time on non-profitable avenues of traffic.
Now a majority of people have switch "get traffic" to "get #1 of Google" out of pure laziness or by reading SEOMoz for too long. Google is one source of traffic, there are was to get thousands of other sources of traffic to websites.
See, if you are spending 40 hours a week at $100/hour SEOing for Google, you are spending $4,000 a week on wasting time with Google. How about you take $200 and buy an expired domain, and I guarantee, at the end of a year, you'll have more referring traffic than Google is willing to give you, and you only spent 5% of of your costs (time wasted is a cost). 4K a week on worrying about Google is not good business, unless you are making 6K a week in revenue, That'll net you about 100K a year, not bad, but not balling. What is your ROI in waiting on Google, people? How much time and money can you waste on waiting on Google to give you rankings?
Remember those link exchange scripts from back in 1999, where you would put that on the bottom of your website, and people will trade links, that shit got referring traffic, and still does.
I have a site generating 200K unique visitors a month using this technique, but with erect's version of creating minisites. Every month that network of sites grows by 10 to 15%. Now when Penguin hit, I lost 20% of my minisite's traffic from search engines, but and 10% of my main site's traffic, But that site is still doing 200K in visitors a month. I am still pulling in money every day from that site and network of sites. I'm out of Google's grasp. And to increase my site's referring traffic, I participate in a private referral network, with sends an additional 300 to 500 people a day, YES A DAY, to my website. I send them around that much as well, but we are all eating, and out of Google's updates reach, and Matt Cuts scare tactics.
The problem where most people coming online fail in, they think the only way to survive is to be #1 on Google. being #1 on Google isn't directly going to generating sales or leads. The only reason to be #1 on Google is to increase traffic massively. But if your site sucks, Google has a solution for that, de-rank you. Stop chasing Google, Get back to the old school and Chase TRAFFIC, Targeted Traffic. Think outside the box. My solution is just one of many solutions to generating traffic, targeted traffic. If SEOers spent half the time they spent on chasing Google on just generating targeted traffic, they would realize it's a lot cheapers to not chase Google. My solution at most cost my $22 if there are no bids, and max $200 if a bidding war happens. But how fast can I make my money back when I have an additional 1000+ TARGETED people on my website a month, guaranteed!!!! If I can't make $200 out of 1000+ targeted people (12,000 visitors a year) I am in the wrong business, or my business model sucks, or I don't know how to convert traffic, there is no other reason.
In Conclusion, everyone, just step away from Google for an hour, read BlueHatSEO, read Slightly Shady SEO, then do a search for additional traffic Ideas, and think outside the box. Fuck, you can probably do direct mail cheaper than SEO for Google now a days, maybe not.
I like to solve problems by going backwards.
1. I need more profitable sales.
So.
2. I need more profitable marketing for targeted audience.
If.
3. My primary sales pitch is my website, I need to get more visitors to my website.
So.
4. My website needs more targeted TRAFFIC.
But.
5. Google is being a bitch and it's costing too much time and money to play by their rules, and even their I am subject to their whimps.
So.
7. How Can I get targeted traffic without Google?
8. Buy it. Buying domains, buying links, OR spend the time building a tunnel from a place that has traffic to my website (Forums, chats, webinars, social media).
I'm in a situation where at most Google now effects 15% of my overall traffic, do you think for a second I would concentrated or spend time on a source generating me 15% of my traffic. YOU don't do it, why should I? I know you don't, cause you guys cry whenever Google makes an update, that means Google has to be controlling 85% of your traffic. So you have to worry about Google, but you don't look at your analytics and say, hey, what other referring sites are sending me traffic, and how can I partner up with them, or increase that or this, or the other.
Slowly decrease your reliance on Google, by increasing your referring traffic by 5 to 10% every month. Make that a Goal, and then when Google is at 10 to 15%, don't forget to write me a check for my 15% for management fee...
Good luck bros.
That's HOW IT's DONE!!!
