If 5500 people were dumb enough to type it into a search engine, instead of their browser address, how many do you think actually type it in to their browser address?
Also, I have a site with a similar alexa rank, and I know how much traffic it gets.
alexa ? OH shit Beachie....
For starters Overture is showing 128,000 "other" monthly searchs.. for "Penpals" multiply by 3 for all the "major" se's ... then divide by 2 to get rid of duplicate searchs , webmasters and other nonsense = 192,000 rough estimate
PenPals.com ranks on the 4th PAGE of google...picking up 2--3 uniques ady from that position.
Penpals.com ranks 2nd Page of MSN.com ..picking up 2-3 uniques aday
Penpals.com ranks
#1 on alltheweb.com= 60-100 uniques aday
Penpals.com ranks 6th on Alta Vista.. picks up maybe 15 Uniques ady
So you have 12,000 other links.. and THATS where you have to determine the quality of those links.. they may bring in a tremendous amount of traffic...or they may be like many links that dont bring in much at all..
The only way to know for certain is to look at the LOGS...
I apologize for being in a grumpy mood this evening..
I was looking at the 5500 traffic..that alone does not make this a 10-25k name (IMO)..and that was where the confusion was because hose were the only numbers I was looking at...
It's very nice traffic... and wworth 2-3 and I REALLY thought your 5K offer was generous..
The Only way this goes above 10k is if the Link situation is as good as the number of links 12,000.
Someone went to a lot of work the past few years building this up, but is the traffic there or not ?
I guess DTG could easily settle this with a breakdown of the traffic...
