1. Co-registration leads
Co-registration leads are better known as the commercial leads that are available on sale from leads traders. There are plenty of leads sellers who deal in such co-registration leads. They sell leads in several packages and at the same time promise to deliver general or targeted leads on demand, and in packages of 10,000, 100,000 or 500,000 leads.
They usually get these leads from the other small traders, or websites who sell them their own list. These sites build lists using various methods, like offering free e-books if visitors sign up the squeeze page. The list of hundreds of such sites are purchased by commercial leads traders, and compiled into general or categorical lists, which are sold to buyers on payment.

Here are some of the vendors of commercial leads, or co-registration leads:

Although, it is a good idea to be cautious while purchasing the co-registration leads, as sometimes unknowingly you might be drawn into a scam. Understand the 3 points that you should be careful about:

Scams with co-registration leads you should be careful about
o You paid good money to buy leads, you are getting visits, but not sales: The leads are fake, which means, they are not names and addresses of genuine people. Some times, children over the age of 13 are hired by the leads sellers to click on your email and visit your site. Needless to say these fake visitors will not generate any sales.

o Your hosting service provider has shut down your site: Most of the people unknowingly pay the spammers for illegal spam lists, thinking them to be genuine lists. The spam lists include email addresses of people who have opted out of the list; meaning, they prefer not to be mailed. If you mail these people, your site may get flagged and shut down. If your e-mailer cannot produce the IP address along with date and time stamp for each name he mails to, he does not have an opt in list. And this is how you can be on the safer side!

o You sent 2 million emails, but did not get a single response: If you outsource your email campaigns to the service providers, it may often happen that they do not carry out your campaign, even after receiving the payment from you. Due to which you do not get a single response. It is better to (a) go for a deal with the outsourcing company, where you want a fixed number of guaranteed conversion sales rather than a fixed number of emails sent out; (b) send the emails yourself, after creating your own list.

2. Website opt in box
It is the most simple, clean, and honest way to generate your own leads. There is no reason or any doubt about if whether you are being sold illegal leads or whether the leads will land you in trouble. These are your very own leads that your visitors have voluntarily offered you, by opting in to your newsletter list.
In all the sites which are of 5 pages, there is an option where you can subscribe to the site or even become a member. The members get the privileges over the non members; like to post in the forum one has to be a member. Non members can read the forum but cannot interact. This encourages the visitors to become opt in members by giving their details. This allows them to sign in, and allows you to legally send them newsletters announcing your very tempting offers.
It may be time consuming, but is a good way of list building.

3. Squeeze pages
The squeeze pages are better known as the landing pages, which are there for people to just collect the names and email addresses of visitors, in exchange of giving a free gift like an e-book which is essential. This is quite common in small websites. Some small websites have nothing except just a squeeze page. The content is kept to the least for avoiding distraction.
Here is an example of a squeeze page to understand it more:http://www.adsense-secrets.com/ .
Although the content is less, still people gather on these sites and even provide with their email addresses in the greed of getting the much hyped free e-book. The email addresses collected in this method is compiled into a sizeable list.
Squeeze pages are a simple method of list building than website opts in box, just because of the minimum content and the free gift exchange.
