Type in traffic from .com with 200k plus searches

[Wannabean]

Hiya folks.

I recently bought and parked a .com domain that is the same as a popular uk TV show currently being aired on a major channel.

The exact term got 200k plus searches last month according to google adwords.

The domain has been parked on bodis for 5 days now and has literally had 4
visitors in all that time.

I was expecting a decent amount of type in traffic just because the domain is the exact match of the show and it gets so many searches.

Am i missing something?

A good predictor of type in traffic is search volume of [sld.tld] not just [sld]. Adwords may report that your [sld.com] gets 10 or less searches per month. UK searchers would aim at [sld.co.uk]. Four real visits in 5 days isn't necessarily bad, that volume of traffic may earn a profit parked but it could be hard doing that without infringing the intellectual property of others. Good luck!

Thanks for your reply useful to know.

Appreciate that I'll keep my fingers crossed for an american spin off version of the show!
