i parked a <famous camera model>.com with namedrive few days back and im getting some traffic which i find it difficult to beleive. in the last two weeks it got between 350 and 460 a day. however the clicks average 1 a day.

so i applied popunders and it got "US$ 0.48 for 325 views" in total for about 5 days (i stoped the popunders as it might harm few of my other domains)

alexa rank for this is around 3Million. estibot says $22000 for this domain.
what i cant understand is when i parked it at sedo it didnt showed this much of traffic.

parked another domain which i failed to moniterise, with namedrive. i predicted it gets good traffic as the domain name is used to give examples in webmaster forums (i also got a offer of $250 via sedo few years back for this) . used it to drive traffic by redirecting it to my domain,hosting affiliate site, but google analytics didnt showed me good traffic (the analytics at my main site)

now it gets between 540 - 740 a day at namedrive. initial days i hardly got a click. but now clicks are better than before as the site is showing ads relavent to submiting to directories and stuff (4 clicks in last two days)
it got $1 for about 800 popunders in five days with this

all the other domains showed no difference in traffic at namedrive


now the questions
how can i check the traffic properly. shall i host the domains temperaly with google analytics.
Has any one experienced this sort differences in traffic at namedrive
what is the best way to moniterise these sort of domains

Hosting the domain somewhere is not a bad idea if ND doesn't show you things like what people search for when they are on the domain. Some parking services do.

If you have optimized the domain for the keyword/topic that it seems to be for and you aren't getting clicks, then either the colors and design are wrong or the ads are wrong for the kind of traffic you are getting. The domain name may have another meaning and that could be what is generating the traffic, but the content is wrong for the visitors, so no clicks.

Some parking providers will filter out certain kinds of traffic and that may be what you didn't see at SEDO. I know Parked doesn't allow most non-US traffic for example, but you can tell them to forward any invalid traffic somewhere else which is nice.

So I think you idea is good of either adding analytics to your domain or hosting it somewhere that can show you what the stats are to you can get more information.

It all probably does not matter since you will be UDRP'd or taken to court and lose all that money and more in the long run - unless you are incredibly lucky.

I wish guys and gals like you would quit intentionally buying TM domains. You are ruining this business for everyone.

Not meant to offend, but this is true.
