Can stats be fake? 1000 visitors, 20,000 impressions but no clicks. How to Monetize

[TP]

I have a french music blog site that gets about 1000 visitors each day and 20,000 impressions. But no clicks what so ever. How real is the visitors data from the parking companies. Data is about the same when I point them to different parking companies.

(1) Is the data for real?

(2) If so How do I monetize? No clicks what so ever given the type of customization available by current parking companies.

(3) If I can't monetize? Is there a service that pays me for the redirected traffice?

Why not maintain a actual blog? opposed to parking the domain?

You could incorporate affiliate links into the blog's content, such as links to CD offers, etc
What kind of Amazon like Internet company do you have in France?
What kind of ads on TV do you see for buying music online? Get into their affiliate program and offer their products on your blog.

Sell links on your blog (Text-Link-Ads.com)

PM me if you have questions you would like to put forward.

Dear All,

If someone can please explain. After trying out the domain, which was a french music blog site, I have gotten the following.

Approx:

- 44 views per day only according to Google Analytics.

- 20,000 views per day according to Parked.

- 1,000 uniques and 20,000 impressions according to Parking Panel.

- I assume Parked and Parking Panel has similar feeds.

Finally moved to Namedrive <edit> and am giving it a try.

Tks.

Something wrong here ... Are you sure your analytics code is placed properly ?

I'd say try TrafficClub or BigJumbo if you can get into it...Parking Panel does continually optimize the name, but Britt himself as said they are tailored more to English traffic. I don't have enough experience with Parked to say for sure on them.

My only other thought is that the traffic is either paid for or fake in some way. If you just bought it, it may be what's remaining on a paid traffic order. It can also be a lot of SE bots given the amount of impressions you're getting with no clicks on PP...why would uniques hit the page an average of 20 times apiece if they're not clicking anything?

I think I can gauge what the problem is. I have a similar domain which was an earlier music download site. It has plenty of backlinks ...but these backlinks are for mp3 downloads. So when someone clicks on a backlink to actually download an mp3 song, it shows up as a unique, but there was actually no visitor who typed in and came to the site. These are just song download requests. These requests create many impressions which arent an actual measure of "real visitors". I frequently see 1 unique and 200 impressions...and wierd stats.

As a result, I show hundreds of impressions and views everyday but almost zero CTR. I feel, the same is happening here. Why don't you check your domains backlinks and find out where the traffic could be coming from? The traffic could be originating from links to your domain placed on various music forums/sites in the form of mp3 download links.

To check the backlinks...try this tool.

IMO, the data is real but the traffic is unreal... I mean its very difficult to monetize this kind of traffic. This is not pure type in traffic which you can sell. I myself am stuck with a similar domain.

TP - If you did parked the domain with us at Parked.com I can tell you more about the traffic itself. Just shoot me the information.
