I've noticed that with almost all of the domains listed in the "Domains with Traffic" section are usually those that were picked up by people lucky enough to aquire dropped domains which were previously sites. Not all of us however are lucky to have one of these in order to list on that section - as most domains don't ge 30 uniques day simply off a parked page.
Especially in the case of GoDaddy parked pages which offer the worst SEO'd landing pages, revenue and click-tru performance/payout. However, I have many premium and keyword domains that have good enough traffic for a buyer to find it much more appealing - and I now know that most of the traffic is pure type ins as I have redirected all my domains to custom ppc landing pages (which are for the time being performing much better than any parking I've used) and offer better insight as to where traffic is coming from. Which also confirms my (industry held) belief that GD offers the worst SEO parking pages, which is why so little people in the traffic domains section have GD stats - and since I've decided not to use any parking programs for the time being, but would like to offer up some of my domains that still have good enough traffic and/or revenue stats to spark buyers interests and support the sale price. In this case I can show with my GD stats that if the domain is moved to a better paying and SEO'd parking provider the domain would perform significantly better as all my traffic is type-ins.
So I request the creation of a new forum for Domains with Revenue/Traffic where user can provide stats that may not qualify for the 30 daily uniques requirement.
Also at issue with these "used to be sites" traffic domain offerings is that they pose potential "pump n dump" senarios where the traffic/revenue/stats may be there for a period after the site's domain is parked - but as it slowly falls out of favor with search engines that held its page's content keywords and become cached/updated with the new parked page - the revenue/traffic will drop significantly and may completely die out soon after the domain has been sold based on traffic stats.
It would almost be wiser to buy domains that have natural type in favour as they provide a better base to judge value of further development or more informed resell price.
Any ideas?
Thanks for reading, Cheers!
