Overture w/ extention numbers..

[Shaggy]

So what have all of you found out about the differenc in traffic to the overture number w/ extention.

I was told that if you have a 500 overture count /w extention, your more then likely going to get at least 500 uniques/day? Is that at all true.

RealNames may already now all of this...and I hope to hear from him. :wink:

Let me know what everyone has found out on their trails.. :goofy:

From my experience if the domain gets mainly US traffic 30-40% of the overture number (/w extension) would be a safe bet for the daily unique figure. If the traffic is mainly non-US, then your guess is just about as good as mine.

From my experience, you cannot estimate the amount of traffic a domain will get based on Overture results. 500 with the extension can mean as little as 50 visitors per day to as much as 5000 visitors per day. You just never know. I use Overture results as a probability indicator, not a traffic estimator. The higher the number, the more likely it is to get traffic, but how much traffic it gets is anybody's guess.

On average I agree with hifi2 though I have domains that receive 10% of the number per day and I have ones that receive 300%. I don't believe there is any science to it, at least I have never figured it out.

I dont think you can estimate it either

Depends on if its an expired name or not. If it is expired and still has overture, then people are still searching for it on top of all the links that are left.

I have a few names that are pure typein (never sites) and hover around 300 ovt and get about 120 uniques a day. Then i have names that are in the low 30's (barely listed) that get 200 uniques etc a day. Theres no safe way to calculate it from my experience.

Most of my traffic names are typein's (mostly typo's) and seem to have the same, some low 25-30 ovt count get lots of visitor's, and some high 150+ get not much, I just use it to give me an idea it has some traffic

So...what everyone is saying is that just to a certian percentage from the number shown on Overture and that MAYBE your traffic. Or just take it as a sign that the domain is getting traffic, but can't tell how much..even with the numbers of Overture.. :wink:

Pretty much yes. I actually think that on average you can expect 30% daily uniques of the monthly ovt number w/extension. This is on average but I would not say it is the norm.

Also don't forget that OVTs are easy to fake.
I personally owned a domain with 250 ovt that got no traffic at all. Of course that one month later the OVT dropped to 0.

How the heck can you fake an OVT??
