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.

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$.
