Ovt w/ Ext value but no traffic on the site?

Hi,

Hope this is not a silly question but I have been seeing this more often:

How would it be possible to have a domain that has a value on overture w/extension yet the site doesnt get that kind of traffic? ex: Ovt w/ ext of 40. But the site gets no hits. How is this possible? Thanks in advance.

Re: Ovt w/ Ext value but no traffic on the site?

I rarely am interested in OV with ext names anymore. Don't even look at those threads now.

A few yrs ago it was a reliable indicator of traffic but these days it seems the average OV name gets traffic far under what you would expect based on the old anticipated ratios used.

IMO this is not due to fraud nearly as much as the fact it's so widely known now that lots of domainers are using the Keyword Suggestion Tool before names expire. That greatly inflates the stats far beyond the normal OV numbers. Once the name is grabbed you will find the OV number goes away because domainers are no longer testing it.

Really? That is a lot better than what many others experience. What is your secret to getting such good ones?

buying from drops and if a deal is too good to be true than it probably is I also buy domains that have healthy mix between OVT with and without and avoid at all costs domains w/link-backs as those die very very quick..
