    Bought a domain from TDNAM

    Hello,

    I bought a domain from TDNAM, when I received the domain I pointed the name servers to Parked.com and this was the result;

    2008-08-26 25 28 $56.80 112.00% $0.05 $1.42
    2008-08-25 31 47 $88.71 151.61% $0.06 $2.75
    2008-08-24 31 37 $122.26 119.35% $0.10 $3.79
    2008-08-23 29 35 $113.79 120.69% $0.09 $3.30
    2008-08-22 25 2 $19.20 8.00% $0.24 $0.48

    As you can see it is clearly getting bot traffic which is clicking on ads, which was confirmed by Parked.

    Is there something I can do about this, return the domain or is it lost money?

    how is it clearly bot traffic? because of the ctr%? whats the name?
    I'm buying credit, banking, loan, insurance related generics in .com, .net, .org with high search volumes/traffic. Will consider typos too! - PLEASE PM with name, info, & asking price!

    Try parking it at another parking service for a day and see if it's the same type of traffic. Or actually host the site yourself and watch the site's server logs.

    The TDNAM stats are very questionable. I would never buy based on traffic without knowing the origin.
    NameNewsletter.com - free lists of available domain names
    ZoneFiles.net (beta) - ccTLD and gTLD droplists

    Traffic is coming from one IP, then the next day another IP and so on, I got that from Parked support.

    I am testing the domain at sedo, but it seems that they are blocking the traffic.

    UPDATE:
    Traffic and clicks seems to be normal at sedo, I think that there was one ip that was clicking on ads but that ip seems to be blocked at sedo
