for someone who has his first post too much requirements dont you think so? how do you think we should trust you?

 

[prague]

Hello,

I would be happy to speak to any buyer via telephone to resolve any such concerns. Additionally, I would encourage anyone with trust issues to use an escrow service. Escrow.com is popular for this I believe.

I think the concern is more about the revenue generated. The CTR% is way too high.

Can you show monthly revenue for at least 3 months please?

Monthly revenue is not helpful for ONE month!

Thanks,

Sam

Hello Sam,

If you'll notice that was actually 2 monthes. I have a few more days but that is all there are when I parked the domain first, shortly after I purchased it. I have worked at improving the CTR, hence the inclusion of my settings, but it has seemed all along this domain was a good performer. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hello Sam,

If you'll notice that was actually 2 monthes. I have a few more days but that is all there are when I parked the domain first, shortly after I purchased it. I have worked at improving the CTR, hence the inclusion of my settings, but it has seemed all along this domain was a good performer. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Just a summary of those images you showed us.
January 11-19
January 11 - you received clicks only that day
The rest nothing.

January 20-February 10
Uniques over 100 a day and you started receiving clicks at a very low CTR%

February 11-March 10th
Visitors died off to less than 10 a day
and your CTR% returns are over 200% now.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but your posted revenue stream is very fishy.
In fact, Over your supposed 2 month period you went from receiving zero clicks to 200%+ CTR rate.

Good luck to you,

Sam

Sam,

While you are entitled to your opinion, my sales thread is not the place for it.

The zero traffic at the start was due to the page being configured as an adult page, hence the no click throughs. While traffic appears to have dropped slightly, with the optimizations made, it has still remained profitable. As I stated before, the traffic coming to this domain has all along been of high quality and profitable.

Prague,

I am entitled to my opinion to be posted on your thread. I did not state anything incorrect. I would just like to say your slight drop you mention went from 100 visitors to 10 visitors and an increase from 5% CTR% to 200% CTR.

You posted the information for everyone to see. I'm posting for everyone so they can make their own judgements!

Thread moved to "Domain Auctions" as the domain currently does not meet the requirements of "Domains with Traffic" section.

Cut the crap please... First day 15 clicks, then a whole week went by without a single one click? Besides that, it only had any traffic worth mentioning for about 2 weeks, for the rest of the time it hardly ever climbed over 10, mostly around 5, while we can see a 200-400% click through (and I know exactly why). You don't have to be a Sherlock to figure out what's going on when traffic diminishes to practically nothing, yet clicks stay the same (and even more) as they were when there was 10 times more traffic...

Furthermore, I fail to see how ads such as these bellow could generate $2+ clicks:

Anime, Free Cursors, Wallpapers, Free Videos... I can't see how these could be getting even $0.08, much less anywhere near $2 per click. Also, based on the domain, I would expect visitors to be looking for online degree ads and similar...

Not to mention, there's no reference to this domain whatsoever - not on Google, nor Yahoo and not even at archive.org. I couldn't find any backlinks to it either... I guess all that traffic you were talking about comes from all the type-ins this great one word dictionary name gets...

I'm done, now please explain. Or better not... we already wasted enough of our precious time on 9mm's explanations and guess what, he's got FBI on his *** now. As far as your case goes, do know that all sales made based on false claims and false advertising are considered fraud. And trust me, "Domains by Proxy, Inc." won't help you one bit, as they'll still come busting down your doors...

I call bluff, scam and a click fraud on this one (all at once!) and I don't think there's even one mod here that would argue with me for posting this in your sales thread. As a matter of fact, I urge mods to investigate this one even further and to move this thread to DISPUTES!

With best intentions,

Z

I think a lot of members are hitting at the wrong thing. I only have 1 question - can you please provide the traffic source? If it's legit - I'm bidding.





(Yo 9MM, is this you? )

 

[gingeman]

best guess- playing the arbitrage game til parked stopped it.
