Just replied in the comments bit as its wrong due to crap data from Sedo
Its a good article, however I think the data its based on is incorrect (Sedo’s cock up not yours) and therefore its flawed.
From SEDO:
The “Hits” indicate the average number of times per day the domain’s parking page was viewed through direct browser type in, from an old external link, or from a search engine query.
I dont think that list is accurate, as a basic search for traffic (which is browser type in, old external link, or serps) in a few default settings gives :
robbscelebs.co.uk Make Offer – 19,035
uksingleschart.co.uk Make Offer – 5,312
corphq.co.uk Make Offer – 2,833
techstickle.co.uk Make Offer – 2,159
etc etc , all which ought to be on the ‘high traffic’ section but are not. I realise this is comparing a monthly traffic v daily traffic stats but even the crap names above would still show
Switching my search to .com:
er.com Make Offer 2 27,700
That would be in the top two / three at least. I am sure if I drilled down deeper there are much higher trafficed names on there as well.
All data sourced from Sedo – so something is not right somewhere, and my guess would be with the Sedo ‘traffic list’ as quoted.
As for type in traffic, I have a good generic that gets me an extra half million ‘free’ visitors purely from typein traffic, cost in PPC terms would be many thousands of pounds
I do agree that parking rev is a meaningless metric, but that is because people should not be basing a generic purchase on that alone as a decent domain name has a much wider ‘power’.
