Hi. Check this out. There are several similar blogs expired with almost same traffic, registered and expiring at same HOUR.


All are listed in Godaddy aftermarket where I usually buy good expired traffic domains.
The first domain got estimated 15,000 UIPs/month but Alexa rank only 13,000,000 (supposed to be somewhere around 100,000 - 500,000).
All other domains got ALEXA 0 but estimated traffic by Godaddy is 7000-15000 UIPs/month.

I SUGGEST NOT TO BID ON THIS DOMAINS. THEY PROBABLY DON'T HAVE ANY TRAFFIC

Plenty started as mugs, I've spend 300$ on worthless fake Pagerank domains at TDNAM when I've started ;)

Almost everyone makes mistakes while learning, point of this is prevent newbies from spending whole "WANNABE DOMAINER BUDGET" on total junk ;)

Thanx for the blog support ;)

I've also contacted BOB to drop that estimated traffic values and reset auction, he doesn't need those few hundred $ but he needs to keep satisfied bidders ;) hope he does that.

I lost thousands doing the same thing over the years until i learnt eventually :-( you reckon Bob will listen ?
 
Hope so. Bob doesn't care much about customers but he cares about income. With less bidders, lower final bid, less income for Godaddy.

Money is what Bob only listens to.
 
I never buy domains based on traffic - I may ask but that is just a small part.

I'm interested in a domain at TDNAM but it shows a lot of traffic - clearly it is fake since there are few backlinks. My fear is that someone may bid it up thinking they'll get all of this traffic.

I want it because it is a good name and matches the title of a friend of mine's book.
 
tdnam made me bought lots of domains that had less traffic than listed but 2-3 domains i ve bought there made my money back x 30 in total
the weird thing is that domains whuch made me lots of money were listed with much less traffic than the one i really got, while one of them had almost 200 uniques per month while after putting a simple website in it and waiting for 3 months i reached 600 uv's per day

tdnam has some great domains but you must dig a lot

I've bought valid PR5 (PR4 ATM) religion domain there with 300 indexed dofollow backlinks (google link: ) and 50,000 yahoo backlinks.

But for more then year, I always delay development :) so it has almost no traffic. Well invested 150$.
