Great Job RJ adding the traffic section but you need to add a rule IMO

[equity78]

I think it is pretty much industry standard to post a name as traffic it should be a min 30 UNIQUES a day and you must post stats, without proof it is meaningless IMO

 

[jeter4982]

I don't know about requiring a certain number of unqiues per day, but I think a screen shot should be required to back up the stats...

 

[fonzie_007]

I agree with both above points. There should be a minimum threshold--I'd put it lower, at about 10-15/day--and there should be proof of traffic. I'd also like to add one more thing that the domain title and # of unique/month should be in the title of the tread (this will make browsing much easier).

 

[equity78]

Well Jeter then what do you consider traffic a name that gets 3 uniques a day is not traffic IMO I would go no lower than 20.

30 is too much. How about 10?

 

[Lyte]

I agree that there should be a standard/limit set for traffic. 10 does seem too low for me. Is 10/day worth consideration? I've been told, rather harshly I would add, that it's not. I think 20 should be the absolute lowest but I would like to see the min at 30/day.

There WILL BE adjustments made to the guidelines & rules of these new sections. So if you are thinking that we forgot they need to be tweaked -- we did not.

According to that thread, it sounds like they are aware of the situation.

I agree that 3 uniques per day is not traffic, however I was just thinking something such as 10 unique/day as that leaves it open to almost anybody to post their domains there, however if it does only have 10 or 11 or 12 uniques per day then they will receive no interest in their sale, and they will quickly learn to post in another domains for sale forum. I am not totally opposed to a set number such as 30, I just think for some of the smaller domain buyers/sellers a smaller required number would be helpful.

Domains with natural average of 30 visitors a day are rarely seen listed for sale anymore. It's much more of a sellers market than a buyers market today.

With traffic buyers now paying upwards of 5, 6, or more years revenue it woud not be unreasonable to consider a domain with a natural traffic average of 5-10 visitors a day to be desirable a viable PPC generating domain. Especially if its in a high paying category!

I am myself interested in buying traffic names, and am looking at any names that earn more than $10 a year parking revenue. How much daily traffic does that equate to? Not much.

The only forum-specific rules in the traffic section now are that stats must be provided along with an asking price or minimum offer range.

Thank you RJ for the update I at least know to avoid that section THANK YOU

Go Get Them

 

[Lyte]

Good additional information. I'm wondering though... is there a way to validate/know the traffic as natural and not artifically created?

Thanks!

STATS are not being provided in a lot of threads

I know this is an old thread but thought I would say the Traffic forum is looking kind of sad :td: no stats posted, plus you seem to find more domains with stats in the regular For sale forum

I think you will find that section has improved greatly over the past few days, because Scott swept thru there like a tornado and cleaned the place up, closed threads without stats (etc). He also posted a new rules announcement for traffic domains.

We shall continue to monitor the situation, and try our best to keep improving it.

Thanks for your feedback.
