I'm aware TDNAM has never been very good at showing accurate traffic but here's the latest on the expired list:

List sorted high-low for traffic brings up these two at the top:
je-recherche.org 63877
mseaforum.com 22113


Total backlinks using backlinkwatch dot com:
je-recherche.org 123220
mseaforum.com 138

Then the google check:
link: www.je-recherche.org / Results 1 - 9 of 9
link: je-recherche.org / Results 1 - 10 of about 74
je-recherche.org / Results 1 - 10 of about 298

link: www.mseaforum.com / Results 0 of 0
link: mseaforum.com / Results 1 - 8 of 8
mseaforum.com / Results 1 - 10 of about 155

Alexa check:
Je-recherche.org has a traffic rank of: 943,759
Mseaforum.org has a traffic rank of: No Data

Summary:
How is a domainer to make sense of these figures to get an accurate portrait of actual traffic???
Biggest surprise was the backlinkwatch backlink check showed over 100k backlinks for je-recherche.org but then google checks were a dud for what would be a site that gets over 60k visitors. I checked google france and that was a dud too.

I guess this post is a rant partly. I just picked up interest in expired names with traffic and have run into stuff like this. I suppose maybe in the long run it's a good thing? The people willing to put in the effort to evaluate names and find deals get rewarded?

Be careful with TDNAM there traffic is usually bot traffic. I was suckered in and paid $600 for a domain and found the traffic to die after 2 to 3 months. I wouldn't bid anything that doesn't show any traffic on popular analytic sites e.g compete, contcast and alexa.
