"Type-In" traffic?

[DomainPairs]

Maybe I ought to call them SpamNOM that was my referrence to spamming. I was annoyed at being spammed by enom.

The problem I have with ISPs and others providing "added value" services is that most of them seem to get it wrong. My ISP "filters" email. They are so successful that www.anyURL.com only gets 400-500 spam mail items a day. What they do manage to do is to stop some of the mail to/from my adult sites - I've got about 20 with "sex" in the domain name.

I've got to the stage when I'm going to have to sort things out here and run everything through Smoothwall and my own Apache server I think.

I gather that the expression refers to people entering a well-known word or phrase directly into their browser's address bar, rather than using a search engine - though with IE at least this may still result in a search.

There are actually tons of domains which are not in use which receive type ins daily. Although people would love to own a "well known word or phrase" I look for the not well known.

For years I used a shortened version of my business name and actually didn't register the whole name until a couple of years ago when I typed my full company name into the overture Search term selection tool and it had over 50 searches.

Also I register domain names that are specific to my business which get a few type ins each. I have 47 pointing at one of my sites and that accounts for about 80-120 unique visitors per day and they are HIGHLY targeted.

Togod, are you saying between 47 names you are getting 120 uniques?

 

[Togoodhlth]

That I can verify.
I would imagine it's a lot more as 1 of the names I had pointed to an affiliate program and I was getting a lot of impressions.

I also have generic names which point to other sites that get between 100-200 uniques per day but they would be wasted on my traditional business site.

Then I dont understand your model..

you have to maintain renewels and maintennce on 47 domains for less that 200 daily uniques..

I just 1 site..no type-in vale..

Conventioncenters.us ..already geting nearly 200 Uniques a day.. 1 site, 1 renewel


Chessmasters.US .. 3 months old ..30 Uniques a day.. few if any "type-ins"



LotteryResults.US .. only in the SE's a few months 40 uniques a day..working on 40 uniques a day..and again no real type-in vale .. not yet anyways...

etc...

I wont pay a premiunm for a 30-40 day NATURAL url Type-in domain.. no need too.. it's too easy to get 30 visitors a day with basically no investment..


So thats why you dont here/see me paying $69 for "drops" or bidding on drops unless it is an exceptional name...which in case the big script writers or the cheating registaers are going to tak ethem anyways.very very rarely do I even bother with them when I can create the same traffic in a month or 2...


Some like that approach of banging heads... drives me nuts..

Good luck.. I mean if it works for you great..

I just think it's much easier to creat the trafic thanbang heads and funds over something that may or may not be worth it...

BTW, what is the best tracking service?
I use urchin4 and webalizer (sp?) but I think addfreestats is as good and free (little button on site).

Thaks for the input.

You hit a buton... I like awstats comes oncpanle with voxtreem..but you can just download it...

I wasnt in the best of moodsand made new friends today with thenm :laugh: well for petes salke .it's been broke for w eek..someone get off your duff and fix was my attitude finally..

actually they are a vey host... usually everything runs very smooth at voxtreme...

But yeah you can get it heree though..

http://awstats.sourceforge.net/

it 's nice because they even "roughly" break up your traffic even to unique visitors ..is not perfect but very close and much faster than tracking through raw logs..

2 glasess of wine ..I swear thats all I have had..Oh yeah a vicodin with it. . heart started talkling back to me Saturday...thought I was having a H-attack, wife forced to the e-room.. turns out it was a bug that was caused inflammation ont he heart..that was causing the pain.. prednisone , Vicodion and wine all week..

I don't think you are understanding me correctly.

I own a retail business which sells products which for the most part are expensive and delivered regionally.
The new site under construction is here: skipsonline.com

I own tons of related domains "cedargazebos.com" for instance as well as "skipssheds.com".
If someone types in "skipssheds.com" looking for a $4000 product like a gazebo or playset etc. I sell 1 item per year and it covers my cost of the Dn renewal or all 47 and then some.
This has already happened and I just started concentrating on this site.

Now, if I point non targeted domains I own with a lot of traffic like "boarder.com" it is not targeted enough so even 1000 uniques from boarder isn't worth just 1 person typing in "skipssheds" who is looking for my product.

On the same topic my site "chimineas.com" gets on average 2000 uniques per week and gets a lot from type ins (also number 1 at Yahoo under the search term chimineas 3800 results). CastIronchiminea.com which points at chimineas.com gets few type ins but they are highly targeted so it works for me.

Now let me back up a second. I also understand that a lot of uniques in general is super important and tht is why I own "boarder.com". I wouldn't own "castironchiminea.com" if I wasn't in the business.

Oh I see, as pointers for your main site...

all relate to the same / similiar /complementoray/products/servcies..

Sure..then yes your model is perfect for what you are doing..
I was i under the impression..you had 47 different domains all getting a few uniques but pointing to "themselves" each site seperate..

Sure corner the market (as much as one can anyways)on all possible keyword domains that are are in the same target market..pointing to the main site..

 

[Togoodhlth]

Yes, exactly.
After reading my post I realize I should have made it more clear.

Yeah we all need to learn from the KIng and Buy PORN.COM ! Copme on LB.. What Rick did was buy a few of the very top porn names then started using that type-in traffic to transfer to his many hundreds of name s WITHOUT type-in traffic.. thats TRicks model..

Then you don't understand what Rick was trying to teach you.

The DK model is one that is impractical and only serves to widen the divide between the haves and have nots.

Actually, the King's methods are the only way to obtain financial security on the net.

I've nothing against this model, just feel that many people should use their brains more to figure out a different model for success based on their circumstances, rather than be rats following the piper into the river.

If you used your brain and thought about what you are saying you wouldn't be writing nonsense like that.

Folks, I'll say this one last time. Domain King's method of finding revenue streams by anticipating type-in traffic and finding sponsors to it is the only way to find financial security with domains. You can make a living as a SEO but that life is miserable compared to the value of having a name(s) with meaningful type-in traffic.

 

[rprosser]

So how do you find type-in traffic (assuming that this is worthwhile)?

Is this simply a matter of checking Overture (Goto)?

 

[Lord Baltimore]

Richard, that's the hard part.
