      I have quite an old .*** domain - ********. Regged in something like 2001. Never had time to do anything with it, few months ago put ***** and forgot. Never linked, never promoted, etc.

      Recently I've checked the stats, and was surprised, since Nov it had more than ******** :eek: And most (95%) of the traffic is direct (type-in). Were all this type-ins are coming from? Looks like I now have quite a popular site without knowing anything about it ;)

      Any thoughts? :confused:

      Did I miss something? This is *************. The name is not TMd by anyone and, being a bona fide website, does not mess with any 3rd party business.

      Yep, it could be... But it could be "word of mouth"... It could be anything... Type-in started AFTER about 1 month after site went up.

      To newguy: I don't want to hurt this forum, even if my opinion is different. OK, in order not to give others wrong ideas, I am "blanking" my domain in this post by ****, you can do the same ;)
