1. Register 4,000 domains and park them.

Ugh!

Your turn.

2. Be the actress who pretended to have a warddrobe malfuntion during a SuperBowl commercial. Quickly craft a mediocre website that promotes your, ummm, talents?

Make a commercial guaranteed to get rejected for the Super Bowl. Put quicktime version of said commercial on your site for viewing.

Work at Google for two days, repeatedly put your foot in your mouth in your public blog and get yourself fired for being stupid.

Hack some network and make your page the default homepage.

You didn't say ethical ways...

Added to the above post, then set a group policy so they can't change their homepage.

1 ,Generate spelling variations for the names of popular 100 female celebrities and autogenerate thousands of pages titled "<celebrity name> - Hot Pictures" :).

2, Create some seasonal flash based joke with a share with your friends button and viral market it.

3, If you have cash to burn, adword for high volume useless terms like "jokes" or "s*x"! (how you escape kw disabling is a whole other story!)

4, Develop a Teen Celebrity forum or a 'rate my picture' type of site!

Register popular, established sites in other available TLDs. Then tell them about it publicly.

Who was it that said there's no such thing as bad pr?

Get interviewed by Auntie Beeb Online about some wacky site you've just created which covers what could be the next big wacky trend. They'll feature it on the News home page for a day and generously put a link to your wacky site next to your wacky interview.

Give it a week and it will be the next big wacky trend!

I remember watching the hordes outside the studio window of Good Morning America. Invariably there was someone holding a "Widget.com" placard up.

A little more subtlety or creativity?

10 buddies, each with a letter of a domain com address, standing shoulder to shoulder? Give 'em the shirts to keep and some beer money.

Good idea, but save the beer money for after the money shot!

Imagine a line of people behind a reporter outside a pubcon, with shirts reading, "Wembsartewrm.coold"

Sell only one product per business day, generally tech/geek oriented. Release it at midnight for purchase. Then create forums and contests that focus on the products and the crazy culture that surrounds the site and it's use. Turns out it's a viral thing. Repeat.

Go on a world tour and visit 2,000 internet cafes in different cities and click on your own crappy site from each of them.

Give out 40'000 free peices of merchandise with your URL on it.

Unsure of average % click rate, so I guessed a number.
