Is Your Site One Of The Top 1 Million On The Internet?

If you haven’t heard, Alexa has made available a list of top 1 million sites for download:

This list is updated daily and is a valuable resource if you know how to take advantage of it.  Just visit alexa.com and the download link should be on the left-hand sidebar.

For pay-per-click affiliate marketers, I would imagine you can go through each site on the list, see if they have an affiliate program, and for ones that do, register the www[domain name].com version of the site (of course, watch out for trademark infringement - perform a search first)

Then you could bid on PPC that domain name as the keyword and direct the user back to the “real” site with your affiliate link.  This technique is explained better than my own words in the Arbitrage Conspiracy report (download it free here) - if you are not into PPC, get it anyway because it will open your eyes to a $50k to $100k PROFIT per DAY business on the internet… Yes, you read that right, per DAY!

The top 1 million sites list is also an excellent opportunity for domainers to register typo’s (within legal parameters).  By the way, if you want to get started in the domaining business, make sure you subscribe to Domaining.com’s free newsletter.

If you have a product or server that you want to sell, use the list to find out if any of these sites have a target market audience that will buy from you and strike up a private advertising deal with them (by going direct you cut out the middleman/broker).

I have 2 questions for you:

1.  What other good ideas can you think of using the top 1 million sites list?

2.  What is the motivation behind Alex offering this list?
