Hello all,

I just picked this name up...earlier today actually, I am not sure whether it gets much traffic, as DNS has just gone through and SEDO says its still trying to verify the name.

It is a 2 word .com domain, with a hyphon, when the name is searched on the OVT tool, it shows 2909 searches last month. Similar domains on the same topic area as this show anywhere from 100-5000 ovt with extension.

I am in serious need of some quick cash, and if I get a good offer I will sell today. Even if the domain gets no traffic (and that is a possibility, it also may get a ton of it) you should still be able to sell it to another domainer for serious money just because of that OVT score, which I believe is legit since many very similar names get similar scores.

If you are interested in buying this .com that scores 2909 at overture with extension, send me a PM and I will send you the name, you can make an offer from there.

Cheers

hey dood.. not sure if you are aware of this or not but the overture suggestion tool dismisses the hyphen in all searches, ie; britney-spears.com and britneyspears.com score the same thing... most results will be the same but some are off by a little bit from the non hyphenated version.... go figure?

not true.

take for example fast-autos.net (its a popular developed site) scores something like 1100 with the hyphen and only 180 or so without (fastautos.net)

Also, in my case, the domain without the hypen gets a much higher number of overture than my name does with the hyphen

True.

However, there's this issue of having "fast-autos.net" and "fast autos.net" scoring the same overture.

By the way, I wanted to take a look at JapaneseRides.com but the site is down.

thanks for letting me know...

By general consensus, when it is a hyphen domain, the result with the space is used as its OVT score, since the vast majority of people dont type in www.fast autos.net

I thought overture counts the search term? Meaning they mean to count how many people search for a certain term e.g. "fast-autos.net" or "fast autos.net" instead of counting how many people type in the search term as an address.

Correct me if I'm wrong. :)

thats correct...but so the question becomes how many people search for "fast autos.net"

even if there is no traffic and that is still a question mark, there are still plenty of eager buyers willing to buy a name with that high an OVT score

I agree the possibility. :)

Let me know when JapaneseRides.com is up. I am rather eager to have a look at it.

Good luck with your sale!

I wish I had a link lost over a year ago during a crash from a keyword tracker that showed (-) somewhere around the top 50 searches as in the actual - was like 56 or something along those lines. Unfortunatly most now remove it for some odd reason.

Hi

This point needs to be made!

Making claims of an Overture score with tld included, for a "hyphenated domain" cannot be substantiated with the same accuracy or dependability, as a non-hyphenated domain. Where this "score" is used to guage potential traffic from type-ins.

Therefore any claims to an "equality" of these results are untrue!

Typing a hyphen domain in Overture does not yield the same type of score as a domain without a hyphen.

Additionally........

Using your domain "fastautos.net" and "fast-autos.net" is a biased example to exploit the Overture results, as relative to your " undisclosed domains' " potential!

I agree with you...I have had some offers from members who know that it gets little or no traffic, so its certainly worth something.

btw - www.JapaneseRides.com is back up :-)

Overture doesn't show correct results for hyphenated domains.
Example - 'cars.com chevrolet' produces same results as 'chevrolet-cars.com' This doesn't mean that is what people typed.

the domain name is: silly-rabit.com

shows different results from sillyrabit.com (which also has a very high OVT score)

How can you put in the ebay auction 'This domain should not be purchased soley for traffic, since I cannot verify if it gets any. The buyer must understand that the domain most likely gets no traffic at all and all traffic recieved by this domain is a bonus.' ?
Is it because you know that it doesn't really have an overture of 2909? If it did you know it would get a *lot* of traffic. I find this deliberately misleading and bordering on a scam.
