Isn't it amazing how some of us own domains which receive zillions of hits per day but for some odd reason they do not resolve to a developed site? Frequently, they merely go to a parked page or a for sale page.
Two perfect examples of this are the domains Bible.net and Bomb.com. The owners report lots of unique traffic, www.Bible.net getting 5,000 a day and www.Bomb.com 300 or more a day.
Yet they only go to domain for sale pages. Worse yet I have seen some names that claim to get lots of hits which do not resolve at all, simply a Page Not Found error.
Any ideas here why this is so? It seems real odd the names are not developed sites. Not only would they perhaps get some income that way, but it would also add to the value. Even a typical low paying or non-paying affiliate program is better.
Bible.net is the most amazing example of this. Why in the world would the owner "Woeger" waste all that valuable traffic with a for sale page, knowing how rare it is for that to really work selling the name as most buyers arrive via Whois anyway.
If wanted, a developed site could still have a website for sale notice as a banner or text link on the front page. I develop a website right away for names which only receive 20 uniques a day, what a terrible waste with a 5,000 uniques a day name!
