this bugs me

[Andrew Shaw]

It really bugs me to see people presenting traffic and/or revenue domain names with stats that only show totals and averages for the entire month.

The name should be presented with DAILY stats, to indicate whether or not the traffic and/or revenue is declining. Its a total waste of time to look at stats and see the following:

It might just be me, who knows. In my opinion, the only reason someone would show the above, as opposed to daily stats, is because they have something to hide.

I disagree... when making a stats request, just post exactly how you want to see the stats. No big deal. If I'm selling 2-10+ domains, it's a lot more steps having to take 2-9 screenshots per domain name if the person wants 3 months stats on a per day basis. It's extremely time consuming. So I personally just post th month view and provide the daily stats per request so my time is not wasted.

All that is needed is one screenshot of the last 30 days per domain name. Its a lot easier for sellers to sell domain names that are declining in daily revenue and/or traffic by taking a screenshot of the entire month. I think taking the additional minute or two to show detailed stats is well worth your while.

To each his own.

Best of luck

Traffic domain without clicks is not real traffic. I ignore domains with "huge traffic, but terrible CTR" or "keywords did not optimize yet" etc. It is bogus traffic - robots, img src, css file requests and many other "traffic", which i.e. Namedrivee or Sedo log as "traffic" but it is NOT real human-viewed html.

I rather have 5 or 6 months of stats, then 30 days worth of stats, especially if you are buying at a 3 to 4 year investment.

Well why can't you just pm the seller and ask for a screenshot? You will know they are trying to hide something if they refuse. Most people are just lazy...
