Hi All,
This is a very basic question and I'm sure the answer is very simple. I've noticed in the forum that buyers of domains frequently ask for "screen shots" of the parking statistics. I've tried a few different times to get a screen shot of my parking stats but I don't think I'm doing it correctly.
What's the best way to get the kind of screen shot of parking stats that potential domain buyers are looking for?
Secondly, as a buyer, I want to put together a portfolio of revenue-producing domains that get traffic:
1) How many months of traffic stats should I ask for?
2) Is there a formula most buyers use to determine how much
they'll pay for domains with traffic (3X, 5X, 10X, 20X yearly
parking revenue)?
3) What are some of the pitfalls to avoid when buying domains
for the traffic revenue? I suspect some of the domains being
sold were recently websites and the traffic is/will be
decreasing thereby decreasing the value of
the name. I also suspect there are a lot of TM'd names that
one has to be careful of buying. Anything else?
4) From what I read on the forum, it looks like it's best to stick
with generic terms that also are "brandable".
5) Lastly, are some domain sellers able to edit the screen shots of the parking stats to make them look better or "pad" the revenue by phony clicks? How can I as a buyer limit my chances of being duped?
I appreciate your advice!
