i see domains for sale with 50 Uniques a day and 50% click through.
Is this for real or fraud?

the best i ever get at domain sponsor is about 10% click through.

i know it can very dependant on search term...but 50%...WOW

do any of you guys get click troughs like that?

Thanks
Daryl
 
High, but not impossible at DS. Regular to see names in the 40% range.
 
I have a couple of names that get 40% CTR - it depends on the traffic and how targetted the ads are. With the names that I have I'm fairly sure the clicks are real.
 
I have type-in traffic domains that have seen over 100% CTR per day..(meaning one user will come back and click multiple ads) it's all about targetting...if some 1 types in a domain like say "EasyHomeLender.com" and all there is are home loan links there then most often and more times than not they will surely click one of them bare minimum...if you have typo traffic and are trying to "lure" them into clicking thru to ads for their intended site dont expect maybe more than a 10-20% max CTR, although it depends and could be higher....for random traffic expect maybe a 1-3% CTR depending on the ads..I send all my non-targetted traffic to links for stuff like "online dating" because almost everyone gets curious about those sites and they pay well for clicks (some over $1 each with adsense) for a generic type-in domain where the content exactly matches the visitors interests a 50% CTR is easy...I never used to believe this myself until I got some really good domains....just my wooden nickel! Good luck! :ok:

sidenote: search engine traffic does not convert nearly as well into clicks as a type-in does in my experience, because it is something natural and inherent in human beings to justify their action with a click response once typing in their intended destination, even if they were'nt sure what would be there, by clicking thru on a link it satisfies the need and curiosity and also gives the visitor/clickee a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in their first action, i.e. they did not waste their time and can navigate the Internet effectively.

i have some domains at DS, that average 60 to 80% click rates and higher

overall portfolio is 26% > 32% average - majority type-in traffic!
 
that will do it! hey biggee send me ALL your names.. :)
 
got names with close to 70% ctr, and better. If ads are targetted really good, it is simple to get high CTR.

Some domains you just can not target or the traffic is just no good then you end up with less than 3% or worse.
 
I got up to a 50% click rate on a name. It was a Holiday type of name. It only happens once a year.
 
I have several at DS and Fab that are above 50%. So if the name gets type in and the traffic is tragetted, it could easliy be real and not fraudulent traffic/rev.
