parked trafffic

charlie · 15-07-2005, 10:39:13 AM

I pick names by instinct in general but have noticed that i get traffic from a number of my domains on sedo but i'm not really sure if its poor/good or excellent amounts.

if anyone would like to click on the sedo link below and maybe comment on the amounts i would be interested to hear what you think

thanks

It is interesting that your highest traffic domain is a hyphen, 3 of my top 5 are hyphens too.

I have found that it is not only the amount of traffic you get that determines how much you earn, it also depends on the genre of the domain.

I regged a loans related domain last week that is getting very few clicks but each one is earning �1.63 where as the rest of my portfolio gets around �0.10 per click.

I agree admin - my loan related domains basically carry the rest of my portfolio. Only been in this for a lucky reg rather than catching drops or active domain sales I rely on the income to cover my 2 yr reg fees. Anything else is a bonus!

open to offers though!

Charlie,

Any domains with a less than 15% conversion rate, change the keyword!

I have found doing this can improve the click-through rate and even prompt traffic to star appearing on a domain.

If the domain is a low earner, you dont have much to lose only the time it takes and the wait for Sedo to approve the changes.

I can only go by my own experience but it looks like the traffic to your names is somewhat similar to mine, though slanted at a lower per-name average (I have more "winners" but fewer 1-visitor-per-day+ domains as a percentage).

You have:-

1 domain over 1,000 visits (0.2% of portfolio)
1 domain over 500 visits (0.2% of portfolio)
2 domains over 200 visits (0.41% of portfolio)
4 domains over 100 visits (0.82% of portfolio)
12 domains over 50 visits (2.45% of portfolio)
36 domains over 30 visits (7.36% of portfolio)
Total: 11.45% of your active domains received 1+ visitor/day

My own numbers, for comparison...

2 domains over 1,000 visits (0.13% of portfolio)
6 domains over 500 visits (0.38% of portfolio)
14 domains over 200 visits (0.88% of portfolio)
21 domains over 100 visits (1.32% of portfolio)
37 domains over 50 visits (2.33% of portfolio)
44 domains over 30 visits (2.77% of portfolio)
Total: 7.80% of my active domains received 1+ visitor/day

quite an impressive portfoilio...I bet your reg renewals are a nightmare

I've had domains on sedo for just over a year now.. i reckon your stats are good, its quite intresting about the hyphenated names... i've just picked up meet-singles.co.uk I hope it attracts as much traffic..

cheers

thanks for that break down - how did you do that?

Anyway, i'm counting myself pretty lucky at the moment as i reckon you have a lot better domains in your collection in comparison nearly all mine are 2 worders in obscure areas, but i suppose the domains that will work the best are those in specialist areas with the right keywords.

admin also suggested changing the keywords until you hit the right one, i know you have nothing to lose by doing this, it just finding time to do it!

Its also a balance between the amount of traffic you get - for 1 visitor a month you can hardly make educated guesses about the keywords and again its more of a random choice.

thanks for the feedback guys

I counted the names manually, then popped the data into Excel to work out the percentages.

BTW, forgot that I had 3 domains marked as "not for sale" so my figures should include 3 more 1,000+ domains

that would make a difference!

did really well this month
out of 413 domains only 2 didn;t get views

admittedly this doesn't equate to cash but pleased that a majority of my domains are getting views!
