Too good to be true??

Hi am still very new to this so apologies if this is a silly question.

If a domain name for example random domain name...dot...tv
is for sale and has statistics like,

Exact global searches: 50000
Exact US searches: 2000
CPC: $30.00
Expires: 30-July-2011

these seem like decent stats to me (as a newbie).
The domain is for sale $300's or so.

But the site is not registered in google and shows as not existing. Surely with stats like that you would atleast park the domain?
Or is it possible that the domain has been delisted by google for some sort of breach?
Would this affect the resale value and would a more experienced domainer steer clear of such domains?

Thanks

consider it really does not go with the extension, debatable if this name would return any where near reg fees in parking

.....good luck

The domain name in the original post was not relevant, it was just a generic one. What i am really interested in is how "any" domain with those stats would not be google registered and whether that affects value etc.

Thanks

You don't register a domain just based on the metrics, provided they are correct... But they don't mean that much.
The extension is more important. But if you have no development plans for the domain and you intention is to resell, you need to study the market first.

If it was the .com, then I'd say buy it, but for the .tv, I personally think it's a waste of money. Also. You are paying the seller for all the potential hard work you would need to put into the domain to get it ranked in Google. I don't generally like paying a seller for my hard work.

One thing to recommend buying on metrics alone and another to recommend not buying based on extension alone.

Depends on the left of the dot.

.TV seems to have more life in Outside of the US at the moment but search numbers that lob-sided search wise though is likely to use a non-US term like "solicitor" which effectively limits the market. Still large but you have to be comfortable selling to the GEO in question.

Potentially harder to sell Polish names in Poland if you're in America speaking only the English.

in my own country code recently someone posted would timetravel be a good name ?

I asked them if they could find a suitable affiliate program , in other words good search volume but what is it good for ?

I just went to the future and asked the marketing department of the company that invented the time-machine what they thought.

They said that they would just go back and hand reg it if they wanted it.

C'est la vie.
