Quality of traffic: What's best, what's worst?

[Domainate.com]

Say a name gets 100 unique visitors a day on average. How would quality of traffic be ranked by the different ways the domain could get that traffic? Major SE (Yahoo, Google, MSN), Minor SEs, Major Directory, Minor Directories, general link traffic, expired site traffic, type-in traffic...am I missing any? How would they be ranked in quality for purposes of selling the name?

for the purposes of selling, i would say that it would depend on how the buyer would want to use the name. generally though, i would say relevent link traffic, type-ins, and major SE if they can maintain their SERP positions. traffic-wise, the directories are pretty much useless unless it's like a paid listing in the big ones (yahoo business).

there is lots of other ways, blog traffic, article submission, forum sig links etc... for selling most of the people looking for SE traffic, if you domain is listed and it have some traffic from SE's and it was some where in the top search engine listing...then you receive more money for that name...
