Traffic dries up when I leave Sedo Parking

[Domainace]

I had a couple .in domains that were parked at Sedo and got about 100 hits a day between them. I moved them to my own hosting with a CPA ad. Now hits are down to less than 10 per day according to the affiliate stats, and a little less according to Google analytics.

I don't get it. What could have happened to the traffic?

perhaps sedo was counting bot traffic?

do your .in's have any content?

Cheers

Sedo shows bot traffic, so it's not real. Your actual traffic is not drying up.

FWIW, Sedo is still reporting occasional "uniques" to domains I moved away from them months ago!

Sedo is supposed to discard bot traffic, but I guess it's the way unique visits are computed.

With so much resources at disposal, its not hard to discard BOT traffic. But hey monopolies will fall.

In my view Traffic is unique....

What is bot traffic? how do they find out that bot traffic?

 

[cyberhawks]

so there are a bunch of companies that offer parking services, like parked.com, sedo, gd, etc etc. Do they all use the same exact system/method for determining traffic and therefore any $$$ you earn? thanks for any insights

 

[weblord]

are you able to catch even the 404 traffic?

This really good information for anyone buying a domain "with traffic." I haven't, but I would have taken Sedo at pretty much face value. Thanks for all the input here!

Funny, I have the exact oposite results. My traffic (and income) goes down when I move them to Sedo.
