Alexa Rank

I know Alexa has its draw backs etc, but on rule of thumb, if you see a domain expiring with traffic Rank, what traffic rank would you deem acceptable as a ok-ish traffic rank to buy for a possible parking profit? 12,000,000 for example? What would be the sensible thresh hold?

I bought one the other day with a rank of 65,000 in Egypt.

65k in Egypt sounds extremely low. Alexa is not precise at all, but normally sites around 100k and less have nice traffic - there are many exceptions though, don't rely on Alexa alone.

12 million in Alexa is junk. Once a web site enters the Alexa 100k then traffic is far more accurate.

ok thanks for that. I reg'ed a 12,000,000 one the other day and i'm getting about 20 hits a day, by chance there all clicking like mad so I've almost made the reg fee back. Does that sound about right for a 12 mill?

Not at all, most of the time 12 mil means a few uniques PER month.
