[coolhands]

it is worth to buy a domain like this "wwwexample.com" if "example.com" is getting about 11.16M visitors each month ?

I want to use the domain wwwexample.com for parking , how many visitors u think I will got from it if the original domain is getting Millions of visitors each months ?

thanks alot

generally today unless you have expertise and right tools (usually paid tools) there is no money in parking. except for the few lucky regs you may make that do make some (small) money.

11 million visitors per month means nothing for anything.

there is no point in guessing for you or others.. u just need to open account on bodis and put your domains there to test. thats how you know

the question if you know that domain " wwwfacebook.com " is available , do you will buy it ?
because in my opinion " wwwfacebook.com " is getting alot of traffic because alot of people who trying to visit facebook are forgeting the dot "."
i Hope you understant what I mean !

that's what i mean with getting sued...

according to alexa and similarweb

also there is risk of getting sued...

Most people don't see ads because of adblockers.

Sending traffic to affiliate links only sounds good, but the conversion rate is 1% or even less imo.

Adblockers block redirections to aff links as well.

The rest of the visitors without adblockers close the page as soon as they realize they typed the domain wrong. The most who click are unable to buy something online like internet illiterate people, people with low income, etc. If the clicks don't convert the CPC rate may drop to zero or less than $0.01, hence the domain will likely make $1 or less per 1,000 visits.

Typo domain must earn approx. $1 per month to pay its renewal cost. When it comes to ad revenue, it's measured by CPM, $ per 1,000 page views. Based on my past experience, typo domain CPM is less than $1. So the typo domain must receive more than 50 visits daily or 1,500 per month, just to pay renewals. It's difficult to estimate traffic figures for each typo combination as every domain has literally hundreds of typo permutation. wwwexample.com is just one of the hundreds of typo possibilities of example.com. Therefore it's more of a chance to register a profitable typo. I think 99% of the time you will make loss for reg fees. As a solution you should consider buying domains with proven parking revenue. above.com marketplace shows verified revenue and traffic. You will see there that majority of the domains listed for sale earn less than $1 per month. So registering a domain (whether it's typo or not) for possible ad revenue is a type of gamble. You should ask yourself if you enjoy gambling or not.

Lastly, some registrars offer domain tasting in which you can cancel the newly registered domain in a few days and can get partial or full refund for the reg fee you paid. But they usually have a limit. I don't think they will allow you to register 100 domains and ask for refund. I could be wrong though.

is getting about 11.16M visitors each month

knowing the exact traffic of a site you don't own is next to impossible unless the owner shares it with you...so, the real question is, 11mil visits according to whom? and how much do you trust your source?

Please understand that you are not the only one that is into that kind of typo traffic. You'll find that there is *a lot* and fierce competition and *that* is what will probably be your main problem, ie. not finding a domain that might bring you traffic but managing to secure it.

 

[IMEZI]

The one I said having 11M visitor , is not a big company and they are not located in US or europe and they know nothing about these stuff, Trust me
and even if they sued me I can then give them the domain for free without any problem

sure, you already peek to the brain of the owner... LOL and for how long... how bout if someone came to your www domain and then he/she complaining to the real company...

give the domain for free? yeah that would be so simple just in case the company forgot to hire a good lawyer LOL Once i got caught on UDRP regarding LEGO trademark, yes i'm giving the domain to them but i already got charged 50$ by domain registrar UDRP administration handling

good to keep an open mind about any new news or already overlooked wwwdomains availability in the whois future imo..

i am a domainer since 1/1999 and have gravitated to the wwwdomain niche instead of brandables (one time sale) so i get traffic today and tomorrows for yesterday’s work..

for $12 sometimes i got lucky like wwwfb.me

Though mine are not aftermarket purchases, altogether i have combined traffic controlling of about 50 www’s!

-have a special day

It will be better to try your luck by registering the domain & then parking it. Let see what happens.

Wishing you best of luck.

PS: Now a days anyone typing www.domain.com to go to the site is next to nil. Browsers, search engines are so advanced, they are suggesting you right domain when you start typing. So in my opinion that type of traffic will be zero in future (if there is any).

according to alexa and similarweb

those are totally inaccurate in regards to traffic measurement.
Sure you can gauge *if* a site has high or low traffic (and that is not always correct as well) but in no way you can measure the *real* traffic a site has by using those services.

 

[IMEZI]

you can see that the owner of this domain " wwwreddit.com " he register the domain on 2006 and he still earning from it Until today. and no one sued him

so I hope you understand me know

are you sure it's the same person owned it since 2006?
are you sure the wwwreddit.com not belong to one of founder of reddit.com?

Do you see how many people are bidding on typos of www on SEDO
they are alot of demand of typos of www because they get alot of traffic, and this is legal.
PS: the orignal domain must be famous and get Millions of visitors

I hope you guys understand me now ,why I want to buy a domain that start with www

yes indeed, there is a lot of stupidos scratching for some coin without knowing the risk

it's your own call to buy whatever you want, if you succeed you could have the money by your self, if you failed that would be your self who has to suffer the looses, and as additional if there is any lawsuits you were still alone to handle or even had to pay for the damages

 

[IMEZI]

IMEZI,
Yes I agree with u, by the way the domain i tell u about only cost $20

then try it LOL i'm wishing all the best for you

 

[biggie]

Yes, Thanks alot, even I didn't get my answer LOL

Hi

only you can say whether it "was" worth buying, after you've bought it and parked it

I have owned some www prefix names in the past and sure some earned revenue
but people don't type in www and miss putting in the dot, like they used to

it's like regging youtube typos
they used to pay good ppc, but today nada and more people are familiar with the site or bookmark it

and that's pretty much the same with www names, unless it's www.extension, then those would probably get the most typeins than wwwexample.com

imo...

That the kind of answer I'm looking for.
I totally agree with you
i'm just looking to buy www prefix that can pay himself, like if the renew price is $20, I will be happy if I make more than $20, so its will be like a passive income

Thanks biggie alot for sharing your experience.

 

[Mr.company]

buy wwwspin.com

 

[coolhands]

buy wwwspin.com

the original domain "spin.com" only get about 1.90M visitors a month with only 22% Direct type in

i'm looking for one that have more than 10M visitors and more than 50% Direct type in.

like these domain "wwwkooora.com" the original domain kooora.com get 68M visitors each month
but that's domain cost $688

Thank you leadnetwork

There was a time when direct typo traffic was extremely lucractive. Also I can personally say any "www"popularsite typo has been tasted before, and probably dropped due to not making reg fee. Unless you go onto whois.sc and see theres no domain history.

Did you read and understand all of the contract that you entered into with you domain registrant? I'm not a lawyer and these comments are just my interpretation of the facts as they stand. Nobody seemingly was ever bothered about pirating of movies and we probably never knew anyone that had ever been caught. However, everyday one person was probably caught and prosecuted and according to the letter of the law they probably stood to lose everything. They had probably never bothered to read about movie piracy or the consequences.

Now, say you go ahead with your cunning plan 'cos there are loads of people doing it. What if you're the one who wakes up tomorrow and your sh1t has really hit your fan and you're the one that day that has been caught. Can you really afford to potentially lose everything?

Now, coming back to the terms and conditions of the contract that you never read with your domain registrant. There is probably a clause that states that they have the power to close your account and re-distribute ALL of your domains. I hope you don't have too many. As a Company, they would not want to be associated with such shady practices, and yes, they will let you register most things, but that is on the express understanding that you accept the consequences of doing so.

Newbies make these mistakes, and then they get some good advice and never do it again. This is probably your wake up call. If you have to ask the question in the first place, then you probably already know the answer.

Step away from your laptop. Don't do it. Today could be your day.

After all, there are millions and millions of domain names yet to be registered so go get yourself one of them. Be clever. Don't be like the others, who may get caught.

Don't be afraid to ask questions, but ask the right question and you will get some really good advice from those at NP.
