The Mysteries Skate Shoes Nof Domain Traffic

With over 60 million domains currently Skate Shoes registered, it can be daunting nto try to find the right domain -- one that will drive quality traffic to your nWebsite or parked domain. But how can you ensure you"re making the right decision when you purchase nregistered and expired domains? Do your research and you'll feel confident in nyour purchase. In this article, I'll explain the tools and techniques domain pros use to ndetermine -- or at least reasonably guesstimate -- how much, and what type, of ntraffic a domain receives. Armed with this knowledge, you'll be able to predict napproximately how much money a given domain will make, and thus gain a better nunderstanding of the domain's true value. We'll discuss three methods for nevaluating the traffic a domain receives: nn *TrackersDirect Methodsn *PredictorsIndirect Methodsn *Traffic SourcenThe educated buyer always comes out ahead, so read on to unlock the mysteries nof domain traffic and learn how to determine scientifically if a domain is nreally worth buying.nnTrackersDirect Methods...nIdeally, you could skip all of the guesswork and find out how much traffic a ndomain receives directly from the domain owner. The easiest way to do this is nsimply to ask the seller. However, the seller may make a mistake (or simply be ndishonest), so it's always a good idea to double-check the numbers using one or nmore of the following methods.
The educated nice skate shoes buyer always comes out ahead, so read on to unlock the mysteries nof domain traffic and learn how to determine scientifically if a domain is nreally worth buying.nnTrackersDirect MethodsnIdeally, you could skip all of the guesswork and find out how much traffic a ndomain receives directly from the domain owner. The easiest way to do this is nsimply to ask the sellers about it. However, the seller may make mistakes (or simply be ndishonest), so it's always a good idea to double-check the numbers using one or nmore of the following methods. nnIt's worth noting that visitor numbers can be manipulated by malevolent nsellers, but in general, parked domain visitor stats serve as a needed nguideline for potential buyers.nnParked Domains...If a domain name is parked, the nparking program may make traffic statistics available automatically through the ndomain's sales listing page. For example, at the time this article was written, nthe traffic attracted by the parked domain, and anuk website ncould be viewed on the domain's sale page.nnIt's worth noting that the visitor count can be manipulated by malevolent nsellers, but in general, parked domain visitor stats serve as a very helpful nguideline for potential buyers.nnAlexa.com...Alexa ranks web sites based on the nnumber of visitors they receive. For example, at the time this article was nwritten, Yahoo.com ranked first, while blue.com ranked at 212,093 and camera.com nat 717,298. These rankings are based on data derived from Alexa's toolbar users. nTranslating these numbers into unique views, Camera.com received over 10,000 nunique views in the month of September while Blue.com received over 70,000 nuniques. (Statistics from Sedo.com). nnMany high-traffic domain names will receive an Alexa ranking just from their ntype-in traffic.
In general,an Alexa ranking under 1,000,000 for an undeveloped nsite is a good indicator that the domain receives decent traffic (e.g. several nthousand monthly uniques). Rankings over a million are less reliable, but nusually any sort of Alexa ranking means the domain receives at least some ntraffic. As with all of these methods, Alexa should be used as a guideline only: nsometimes even domains for which Alexa returns "No Data" (too low to rank) will nstill receive traffic. Ranking.com offers a tool that's similar to Alexa's. nnOverture Searches...Yahoo! Search Marketing's nKeyword Selector Tool (known to most as formerly Overture) tells you how often a ngiven keyword was searched on the Yahoo! network. For example, "Yahoo" was nsearched 17,858,229 times in September 2005, while "Blue" was searched 178,124 ntimes.nnSo of course, a domain name that contains a highly-searched keyword is more likely to nreceive traffic. However, the Overture Tool's usefulness goes beyond that: if nyou use the exact domain name (with extension) as the keyword, Overture results ncan be used as a predictor for whether or not a domain name receives traffic. nFor example, "Yahoo.com" was searched over 11 million times in September, naccording to Overture. Our comparison sites fared as follows: "Blue.com" was nsearched 794 times, while "Camera.com" was searched 258 times.nnResearch shows that Overture searches do usually have a rough ncorrelation with traffic (especially type-in traffic), but as with other nmethods, there are many exceptions to the rule. nnTraffic Source...If you are trying to better understand something, go to the nsource. This aphorism applies to domain traffic just as well as it does to other ninformation.
