closed new issue, traffic increasing Appraise please

Wired · Jan 4, 2005

I got a dilemna. I got a traffic name and I don't know what to do with it. This happened overnight. All direct type-ins as I don't link my names. I just took this name out of Fabulous and put it on a site I don't use/get zero traffic until I get hosting setup. The stat service, I added yesterday, early evening.

Please appraise: revote.com

I am/was planning to post on eBay but not sure if I should ask for more or if its not worth what I will be asking. So I am will not be listing, yet.

I am getting emails about their support of their issue but more importantly, I am getting traffic. Click the counter and see the stats. I have this name pointed to a site I am not using but hosting was setup, but stats are from this name.

Either way, I think it will continue to be an important political issue.

I'd appreciate your comments on how/what to do with traffic.

Thank you. ~Wired

Can you track referrers? This way you can tell where the traffic originates from.

Rad, these are strictly type-ins. Go further down the stats info and you will find what they are using to come to my site.

Do a search on "revote" and its a hot topic in that state. Other immediate future topics on revote is in the Ukraine and state of NC.

I imagine that people are typing "revote" into their browser like they would type it into Google. Some browsers will automatically send them to revote.com when they do that.

I'd recommend Sedo as a temporary solution, since they can monitize according to country. Pick keywords that give good relevant choices. You could also create a site with content related to elections and then put Adsense ads on it for revenue.

Use the keyword "politics" and let them choose their poison :-D

I attempted to type "revote" in the browser and it brings up a search list.

There is a hot issue in WA state. The website they list is revote##.com. Then I saw a couple of threads on a couple different forums to check out revote.com, where I think they meant to say check out revote##.com. A typo on their end. So I am assuming they are directly type-ins.

Add 734 and 161 uniques still floating from Fabulous.com and so far, I got almost 900 uniques, today only. The last 3-4 days, the numbers are increasing.

Thanks Rad and HS for the opinions.
