Can someone explain me traffic?

[silgro12]

I dont understand how traffic works? I parked domain on sedo and when someone visit my domain page then I get one uniqe visitor or what? And what if I bring 1000 uniques to my page, how much more then my domain worth? Also how I get paid from sedo when I bring visitors? Thanks in advance this is very confusing for me

Visitors that don't click on ads don't make any money for you or sedo. So a high traffic amount that never converts to cash is not the same value as one that make some money.

And when they click on ads (on domain sale page right?) then you get money for each click acording to domain CPC? Btw thanks for your answer

Hi

I strongly suggest you READ sedo's terms of service agreements



you should not be "bringing or sending", any traffic to a parked page.

imo.....

Yes, I didn't catch the 'bring' can be thought of another way, thanks biggie

quick question..you mean traffic can't be redirected to a parked domain??

Yes, but best to read the TOS of the parking company you are using

thanks...another quick question. How do some domains have good alexa ranking then if traffic aren't redirected to them??

Type in traffic.
People with the alexa bar typing in the domain.
And why redirect?
Always wondered why people redirect domains to a parked page (yes, it is done, rules or no rules).

No that's not correct. Domains that are parked don't show up in search engine results. You need domains that had high traffic sites in the past and which have links pointing to them from various other sites. Those links will be the source of the traffic.

Then there are domains that have type in traffic where people guess the domain name and just enter example.com into their web browser location/address bar. As you can imagine type in traffic is mostly for short dot coms because people naturally assume all domains are .coms. Domains that used to host high traffic sites in the past will also get type ins.

My understanding is that parked domains don't make as much money as they used to and the trend is towards developing sites on them instead.
