Believe it or not, you can obtain free domains from us! You can even choose the domains you wish to own! The process is simple. Just review our portfolio and click on the domain you would like to receive. You'll be taken to our contact form with one of the domains you wish to acquire already seeded in the comments box (in a couple cases you'll be taken to an offsite offer page; just click your Back button on your browser, go to our Contact page, and mention the domain you are interested in). In the comments section, tell us that you are interested in our free offer, specify all the domains you want, and we'll get in touch with you promptly.

Is there a catch? You bet there is. In exchange for a credit against the normal offer price for the domains you wish to own, we require you to place a completely invisible link to our site on one of your home pages ranked PR3 or higher by Google. We will give you a credit of $100 for each point of Google page rank. So, if you place our text link on a PR4 page, you will get a $400 credit.

How does this get you free domains? A large number of our domains are priced at only $250 (although some domains are more costly). While we can't rebate any excess of your credit over the normal purchase price in cash, you can spread your credit among multiple domains. So, if you place our text link on a PR5 page, you can choose two domains priced at $250 and own them for free! If your desired domain costs more than your credit, then you only pay the difference.

If you can't find any domains you want in our portfolio, then in exchange for your link, we'll provide access to our domain acquisition assistance service for free. This service lets you provide detailed specifications for the domain you desire, and then we use high end (i.e., expensive) automated tools to find unregistered or expiring domains meeting your requirements. Our search is very sophisticated, and in addition to your stated specifications, we try to find domains with attractive qualities (like high exact local Google search matches) that will make your domain easy to optimize for SEO purposes. Our domain acquisition assistance service normally costs $150 per spec list, but we'll provide as many searches as your backlink credit will cover, all for no charge!

The fine print (come on, you expected this):

1. You must agree to leave our backlink in place for one year (code snippet described in (3) below).
2. Your home page must have no more than about a dozen additional outbound links (you can have as many inbound links as you wish). You agree to maintain this limit for one year.
3. Our code snippet will include a few very short phrases relevant to our site. A Javascript callout to our server will hide both the link and the phrases from web browsers. The short phrases are to make sure that Google considers the link relevant. The verbiage will be extremely short, and will not impact your SEO (i.e., your META tag keyword density won't be impacted). The link and verbiage will not impact your home page's appearance in any manner whatsoever (i.e., nothing on your page will move out of place).

That's it! Please start out by going to our portfolio, and if you can't find what you want, then visit our domain acquisition assistance service page. Then send us an email using our contact form, letting us know what you want, and we'll try to get it to you for the lowest possible cost (who knows, maybe for free).

PS - If you add a social bookmark to our home page at Delicious (www.delicious.com; takes only two minutes and is completely free), and agree to leave it there permanently, we'll add $50 to your credit!
