I found the .net was TAKEN..

and the .com was Available! So I jumped to get it obviously... No TM issues either.. I wanted your opinion. Here is the partial screen shot from estibot..It is validated in alexa.
It is a top 600 in its country.. Its not a US webpage.

if the net is 11k worldwide and you just nailed the com, then you should start seeing a shedload of traffic
great pickup

can only think they nailed the net as com may have been taken at time then dropped.
plus bonus they may come in for at some point. i would develop out lightly in a different area with adsense etc , see what happens :sold:

Domainer's gold! If there's any possible TM issues be sure to keep those keywords off your parked or dev'd page. Enjoy the easy rewards.

It may depend on the country involved - if it is in the Far East, they have a preference for the NET extension and traffic there may not necessarily head for the COM.

Good luck anyway.

Thanks.. I thought about that before but hell, I couldnt pass it up for 6 bucks. Better than a lotto ticket i guess

I don't understand why you don't mention the domain since you have registered it...?

Alexa cannot be trusted 100% from my experience... Well, since you have registered it, you should now know if the traffic is valid or not, unless you have not hosted the domain yet. So what kind of numbers are you seeing?
