hmmm....word1word2word3word4word5word6.com gets typeins???

I hate to sound negative here but ...... no way in heck does it get "natural" typein traffic.

It may have been a developed site at one point with links to it or it is in someones search engine but I think I can feel pretty safe with the assessment that 125 people a day in this crazy world do not just arbitrarily type that in :)
 

Guest
would tend to agree that a six word domain with 125 visits per day is unlikely to be principally getting type in traffic, some other source I would think - s/e, old links or something like that would have thought.

I don't think any of the stats packages take out visits from spiders when calculating uniques (as far as I know) though of course multiple visits in a day would be counted as one as long as you are counting unique visitors rather than non-unique.

lol...this thread took off . Thanks for the time folks. I think there is some good info in your posts.

LIke I said I'm not that interested in the $$ these names will be tied into a existing project.
I was curious if anyone thought there was any base value and peoples opinions of the names themselves.

For what my use will be creativekid.com will work great, does it get a ton of type ins ...nope. but I don't care it will be a secondary site at the moment. Checked the TM with my lawyer...won't be an issue.

Visualsmarts.com will be a tie in to my illustration biz...will be branded ( very simply to my client base ).

So while agree with ya'll in the whole that typins and searches are important. I don't think you folks look at brandability at all. ExisitingTraffic is nice but some people still actually develop sites and work to build traffic....it doesn't take millions to do. Just lots of time and effort.

What can I say... I still am a optimist....

izoot..Ok the TM must be a totally different direction then...

I agree with..worry less about type-ins and more about development...

Real Names Im not pissed at you just peeved about all this type-in nonsense..you are geting traffic form somewheres.an ld site ,links or something but it isnt "type-ins"

try this add this http://www.extreme-dm.com/tracking/ to the front page and you'll instantly where that traffic is coming from..

IO could see someone owning say "thepresidentoftheUnitedStates.com" and getting typein traffic...but even then we all know that traffic is from a bunch of 5th graders somewheres ..so the traffic is junk anyways..

Listen the type-in domain that you got for $10 30 a day if thats true ..you got a hell of a deal even if it isnt targeted but 6 words 130 odd a day..just is not possible..

Even on your $10 domain put that link up:

http://www.extreme-dm.com/tracking/

so you can verify the traffic..and if you find it's coming from old links ...then find out what was being sold their before and get the same product up pronto...quit pissing around and make your money back and then some..

use FREE hosting..netfirms.com used them for 2 years now ..excellent service and if you find it's profitable then move up to banner free hosting.....

spder gone mad if thats the case !

I think real is just misinterpreting his traffic thats all...

My bottom line point though.no matter where the traffic is coming from...you need to get off your tail and staisfy that traffic with whatever it is that it's looking for..whatever product or info that is..

I see a lot of that ..people claiming all this traffic and you go there and not even a basic product page set-up..so whats the point then of owning the domain?

oh thats right someday someones going to offer me a lot of money for that domain! lol

Not too nice or friendly of you Bid saying my post is Bull :mad: You should not be so quick and rude to accuse a long-time member here of making a fraudulent statement :mad: I can assure you I do not lie and post bull in these forums as you wrongly claim.

The reason I normally do not post my names here is because of the possibility of the name being incorrectly attacked or too critical remarks made (perhaps due to someone being misinformed or lack of knowledge), as happens a lot here. I also sometimes think there may be more negative possibilties than positives from posting specific names here.

I also have other long names, some even longer than this one, which also get surprisingly good numbers of true type-ins. If I also posted those names they may get questioned or attacked too.

Many are not listed on the SE's, were never old sites and have no 3rd part links so they must be type-ins. By good numbers I do not mean 5,000/day which extremely high traffic number some of us such as Safesys say is needed to get PPC revenue.

I am talking about far lower traffic, but still valuable as it is very well targeted traffic. Actually, the longer the name the better targeted its traffic is, which I am sure we all must agree with as it should be a given.

I recall you also questioned the validity of another name I purchased from Whois-Search's list of unreg'd names that was getting approx' 26 type-ins day. I sent that $10 name in confidence to Snoopy and I think he more or less confirmed it was likely getting type ins.

This latest name you claim is BULL does in fact gets on avg at least 130 type-ins day, sometimes even more. I believe they are all NATURAL type-ins. As far as I know it's not listed on major SE's. I have done no SEO work on it. In fact the Google Page Rank is greyed out and has a zero page ranking, though not 100% sure about other SE's. Who uses the others anyway, don't we all mostly use Google?

I can again email the name and stats to Snoopy and ask him for his opinion. If he does not want to do this that is fine to, no problem, up to him.

In regards to your assertion this is NONSENSE and it must be getting some traffic from an old site, your statement is really the bull crap one. I have owned the name since late 1999 and know with 100% certainty it was not reg'd earlier so it could not have been an old site.

How do I know? Names longer than 22 characters were not allowed by the registrars until Nov/Dec 1999. That's when I grabbed lots of other long domains which could not be reg'd before that date.

Please apologize and don't be so fast to wrongy accuse other members here of making false statements in their posts.

Nah, you're just a realist zoot and I do agree with the power of the brand since my day job depends on it. Wise words well said :)

Good point and worth chewing on. Won't be surprised if those who "naturally" typed pets.com were looking for Penthouse babes or neopets.

To be fair safesys never said you need domain with 5000 uniques per day from each domain to get into decent pay per click programs, he said 5000 uniques per day total traffic, ie likely many domains.

Thats fine if you send the name through.

Knock the nonsense realnames ..if you have a name that gets REAL type-ins then show it....I dont need "snoopy" to verify it.. YOU need to verify it..

I dont care how long you have owned the domain real..

show the domains or cut the nonsense...nothing fraudulent about my statement at all..

quit being such a baby about it and show your domains..I get so tired of all you "type-in" people always hiding..if it were true you wouldnt be hiding the domains..simple as that..

setup the domain like I said and prove it.. is that so difficult..hell if it's true you might actually make a sale for a change..

just dont come on and start posting about all these wonderful type ins if you arent going to prove..until then you arent credible..

Thanks for clarifying what Safesys said. I already assumed safesy meant total traffic of 5,000 for PPC success, though was not real clear on it. Also, thanks for offering to look at the name :)

BTW, Bid does not want you to verify if the name is getting type-ins or not. He wants me to post it instead for his own evaluation.

I already in several posts explained my reluctance to post names here and gave the reasons so may not be able to do as Bid insists.

Perhaps I will start a new thread on these issues as this thread is getting too diverse and also too long, going on to page 3 soon.

That's not correct, some don't want the publicity to their name even if it is true.

Also, I never said your statement was fraudulent, I said you were accusing me of making fraudulent statements :mad:

The reason went into detail on the date it was purchased is you said it must be an old site and I had to prove otherwise.

Personally, I find http://www.searchengineforums.com the best forum on SEs. Great community there. Lots of excellent advise and insights.

The word insights in your last word is my domain name. I have insights.com and am thinking what kind of web site it would be. Any recommendation is appreciated.
