Wanted: Domain Appraisal ChinoShorts_co_uk

[expertc]

I was checking "spikes" on some search terms. This one is steadily going up. Looks like product is gaining popularity. Any thoughts?

Apparently Chinos are back in fashion so you might be on to a winner.

I also just hand registered a chino related domain, it's ranked and got a little traffic within a few days, haven't even started developing yet...Will see If I get any sales and let you know!

 

[expertc]

Cheers, people. I'll put a quick aff on this, rank it and then approach the end users.

 

[Aaron Clifford]

I'm doing the same! Drop me a pm in a few weeks and we'll compare stats!

Deal! I see when I can get into it. At the moment have some work to do on insurancejobs and credit-score (both in org.uk flavour). Still have to finish them before getting into new site thing.

You would honestly spend time creating a site around Chino Shorts?

Really?

I have menschinos and it's getting quite bit of traffic/sales so think once it has a site it will be worth something

where there's a will there's a way

It's a niche...If I can get mine making £10 a month, it's better than not registering the name at all.

Why not??? With 1K UK exacts and £25 average price. Now let's do the maths: with 0.1% conversion (low conversion), turnover is about £2,500. Amazon gives you 5% commission. Potentially £125 p.m.

If the average product price is £25, you'll need 100 sales to get a turnover of £2,500.

I'm guessing you meant to write 10% conversion from the 1,000 visitors not 0.1%?

Either way, the figures are overestimated. Below would be a better calculation...

Local exacts = 1,300
40% CTR = 520 visitors
1% conversion (low) = around 5 sales
Turnover (based on £25/product) = £125
5% commission = £6.25/month

I think the above is correct, only done it quickly in my head.

Oooops... My fault. I did put a % sign where I shouldn't. Yes, I was doing on 7%-10% visitor conversion estimate which is quite common for apparel. My Amazon shops are at about 8% visitors conversion.

My Amazon shops are at about 8% visitors conversion.

How many of your own website visitors are you sending on to Amazon though? I imagine 8% will be Amazon's conversion rate for apparel, not the combined conversion for both your website traffic and Amazon combined which is the useful figure for calculations.

Unless of course the entire 100% of your traffic is clicking through to Amazon and it matches their typical statistics, in which case the above can be ignored.

I have some Amazon affiliate sites that use "shopping cart" (e.g. longer cookie). Sites convert uniques into orders at about 8% rate (e.g. from 100 unique visitors to my site 8 buy something from Amazon). I don't follow click conversion... checking it now... on average (for all affiliate ID's) it stands at 26.90% at the moment. But I know that some of my sites have higher click conversion rate.

Ah I see, fair enough. I don't dabble with Amazon's affiliate programme for anything but that seems pretty good.

If you can make £2500pa on selling Chino Shorts on the interweb, then I doff my cap in your general direction.

I dont think that will ever happen and I also dont wear a cap but best of luck.

Its a total waste of time IMHO.

Why make effort to make £10 of commission when the same effort in a different sector/niche could earn you 5x or even 30x

£2.5K??? Hmmm... that would be difficult, product is seasonal. Best scenario, as a said, £125 p.m. in high season. Lets see how it goes.

And yes, I do sell caps if you ever need one

Its a total waste of time IMHO.

But why? If you put quick autopilot site that earns even a tenner p.m. what is wrong with that? Think about 10-50-100 sites. They are easy to make and rank. They add value to your domain name. Much better than parking.

Its just too much of a niche for my tastes.

I would be surprised firstly if anyone bought shorts over the interweb (I have never purchased an item of clothing online) and also people who wear Chino Shorts shouldnt really be allowed to have a computer.
