Yahoo TQ and bid prices dropping? - Page 2

Giode · 09-12-2009, 11:18 PM

You're right, it would be expensive to get that kind of portfolio. In the past year he has spent a little over six figs buying existing traffic portfolios from his AM at Name Drive. So nothing fishy about what I said. I will NEVER make stuff up or lie! Just for the record.

Regarding the type of traffic it is: quite a bit is typo. He tries to stay away from TM stuff. Like I said, majority of the traffic is from type-ins. He does have most of his names at other companies, but has some very strong performers at Parked. Until recently.

I'm learning that typo traffic does play a significant role in TQ, which I'm guessing was the problem.

fact is pure type in traffic is very very rare and is super expensive to buy .

i don't think most people actually know what tupe in traffic means - this does not mean you buy traffic and redirect it to your website - even if you buy it of google or any other company - it is not type in traffic.

it is arbitrage.

unless they are pretty bad typos ( no one likes them anymore.)

the other option of course would be unnatural traffic - produced by machines - also illegal .

fact is: parked or yahoo or in fact any other parking company will not suspend you if you have natural pure generic type in traffic because it is the very best traffic to have period.

and i dare everone out here to proof me wrong !

Typos like bankofamerica.cm is worse converting than a generic usually. Type-ins like bankofamericacreditcards.com is better converting than generics as the visitors are already set on the brand, they know what they want.

Generics are well converting considering they are long-tail, such as "CheapNewJerseyCarInsurance". Worser converting is short-tail keywords such as "Insurance.com", since the user can be looking for many types of insurance. I think the list goes as follows from best to worst:

Long-Tail Generic Type-ins
Trademark Type-ins
Short-Tail Generic Type-ins
Typos
Search Engine Traffic
Expired/Backlink Traffic

I am unsure if trademark type-ins are better or worse than long-tail generic type-ins. It is hard to say. I've seen perfect scores for both.

i did some digging myself and must say the list is an very accurate reflection from what i am seeing on my pay outs on different services.

judging from my payouts i would conclude that "Long-Tail Generic Type-ins"
are better paying ( at least in my case ) therefore they must convert better than trademark type-ins ( not admitting having any of those )

as for the worst traffic ( Expired/Backlink Traffic ) it really depends on quite a few factors :

for example : if it is a former website , that until recently sold products or services , that has been in biz for many years - i would buy that any day of the week .

just beware of those "made in a rush and then sell it to a sucker" websites.

this is just my own experience and other domainers may or may not have had different experiences.

i would like to add that Matt's post of the list should be nominated as the "most helpful post for newbies" award of 2009 .

thanks Matt !

Hahaha. That was actually one of the quickest posts off the top of my head.

The rankings are more or less based on averages. They also have a logical explanation. There is some really good backlink/expired traffic. But there is some extremely bad backlink traffic as well. It varies. Most expired sites used to have Adsense themselves. If they were able to keep an Adsense account, then there is no reason why the expired traffic domain should do any worse when parked.

All traffic is good. Once someone starts spamming blogs with backlinks or MySpace profiles, or sends automated/fraud traffic, that's when things look bad.
