Unique Visitors per month: 413 - Is this considered a lot?

[ivoy]

I have a domain name parked on sedo that consistently draws around 400 uniques/month. It seems like a lot if compared to my other domains which barely reach 50-100 (on a lucky month).
I know it is not any kind of residual traffic from someone trying to pump-up the domain recently, because I've owned this name for years.
Can anyone please tell me if this is an unusually high amount of visits for an undeveloped domain, or is this nothing to get excited about.
thank you!
btw. the domain is: showstars/dot/com

For the last 32 days on sedo:
2.41% Click through rate on the average
$0.12 Revenue per click on the average
$0.04 Revenue per day on the average
$1.37 Revenue collectively

Well, since you have it parked, you should be the best judge of whether or not its something to get excited about... i.e. how much revenue it makes.

But I notice you have an entertainment site in your sig... maybe you'd benefit more from redirecting the domain to your site, than from parking? I guess it depends on what the traffic is for, but showstars.com, seems like it could be entertainment related.

Something to consider anyway.

good !! good name to

Do you see any referers in your traffic stats ? It could give some hints as to the origin of traffic. 400 hits/month is interesting but traffic is not only about quantity, it is also quality.

If the 413 uniques is all type-in traffic, and not expired traffic etc, then it is quite nice, especially if it results in good revenue as well.

That's very good for an undeveloped for years name. 413 type in traffic. WOW! :D

 

[gazzip]

I would say that is good :tu: saying as it has never been developed, you must either have a nice generic type in search term or someone has developed a similar name to yours maybe in another extension ??

Are you getting many clicks ?, if not do some digging on Google and see if you can find a likely source of the traffic, then monatise to suit as long as its not going to cause any type of TM problem.

Hello,
Good name about visit, this is not too high. I don't know what is your revenue right now with the site in Sedo, but why do you create a start website with a good design and sell links and ads?

If you can demonstrate a consistent 100 uniques+ a month it makes the domain an easier sale to a reseller/traffic or PPC buyer.

It really depends what those uniques are worth though to be quite honest in terms of revenue or the type of domain/website they are on. The actual number is more a multiplier in that case.

I had parked my domains at Sedo (now is Parked and Namedrive) I think Sedo counts bot's traffic. What's your CTR on that domain?

 

[champ_rock]

the revenue that u earn is what makes a difference

so what is ur CTR?

 

[richrf]

The domain name sounds interesting. I also get lots of directs on my name. My guess is that most of them are from other people who are looking to see if the domain is available for purchase. What this means, is that there is "interest" in the domain name, and you should definitely consider developing it. You can develop a blog or celebrity site about TV Show Stars, for example. I would recommend that you take interest in the domain and develop more value into it, if you have the time and inclination. Otherwise, it probably will continue to appreciate in value, but probably not as rapidly as it would if you do some "land development".

could possibly be typo traffic from showstars.co.uk

I'm guessing it's spillover from them or show-stars.net. There's a couple potential buyers for you.

 

[gazzip]

btw. the domain is: showstars/dot/com

now that I've just noticed what the domain was I would say its likely some traffic from one of these which are "semi" developed.

showstars.de
showstars.ru
showstars.co.uk
showstars.net
showstars.dk
showstars.com.ua

Thank you for your valuable insight and opinions! The domain "showstars" is registered in a great number of extensions beyond just .net and .us, or .info. Just like gazzip noticed, it also seems very popular in Europe AND it has "dash" clones!
The stats are not as impressive as the traffic (or you be the judge ) For the last 32 days on sedo:

2.41% Click through rate on the average
$0.12 Revenue per click on the average
$0.04 Revenue per day on the average
$1.37 Revenue collectively

I know that developing it would be the best step here, but I bought this name with an intention to use it in the near future for a talent show project, so I am a bit torn to use it for something else at this point. I may very well change my mind though and that is why I wanted to get your expert opinions about this domain.

What do you guys think about the above stats?
btw - reps on their way to the best posts - thank you for sharing your expertise!

Imo, before you develop, I'd suggest better optimizing your keywords to better reflect the content of the sites that traffic is spilling over from. The traffic is decent, but if you get the right keywords in place I'd think you could get the ctr way up from where it is currently. Are you providing the keyword now or is it defaulting to the category?

Good question! It was riding the Sedo defaults until last week. I chose a pretty layout and started experimenting with some keywords. There has been a slight increase in traffic, but not much in revenue thus far.

 

[Phronesis]

I'd do some research as to the content of the spillover sites and see if you can't find a keyword that converts better. If you have an Adwords account you can see what keywords are paying and once your views start converting, try to wiggle to a higher paying yet similar keyword.

put a mini site to see what happens
