Unique visitors

[Chappy]

Hi
Fairly new to this game and I'm wondering what is considered 'reasonable' in terms of unique visits per month. I got a few domains which seems to be clocking about 100-200 per month. Is this OK, good, or poor?

Of course, its the clicks which generate revenue and right now I've got only 3!

Thanks

For 100-200 Unique hits is a very good start, not poor at all. The click ratio seems a bit off with only 3 clicks though. Does the topic listed on the parking page match the domain? Who are you parking with, Sedo?

That is a pretty good chunk of traffic to be coming to your parked domains. Is all of the traffic from type-ins? If you can even get a click through rate of 3% you aren't doing too poorly. I am frustrated right now with only a 1% click through on all of my domains. In my experience, your portfolio of parked domains should be getting from 1-7% click through rates.

Actually I took my uniques for 1 week (about 40) and extrapolated to get the monthly average. Therefore the 3 clicks is only 1 week. I'm not sure where they traffic is from - it's on Sedo and it just tells me the number of visits. I just 'improved' the keyword topic to match the domain better so we'll see what happens.

I would give Sedo a months time and then try using another parking company to see which you prefer better. I moved from Sedo to NameDrive and like my results better. I may try Fabulous or GoldKey in the future as well.

Do you think a different parking service influences whether people click on the ads - or just affects how much $ you get per click?

Yes to both questions.
Some parking companies have better looking landing pages than others. Additionally, some parking companies pay more than others per click. Also, some companies are known to be better for certain types of domains (ie poker domains versus computer related domains).

OK. I'll check out Sedo for a month and then consider switching to NameDrive or Afternic.

I just parked my first domain yesterday. after one day i'm at 2 clicks for 20 hits or 10%. from what I hear, thats pretty good. I only got $0.11 cents per each click tho, seems low..

Where are you parked? Do you mind me asking what the domain is?

parked at namedrive, the domain is just a local business that pissed me off. they havnt sued me yet. i've gotten 20-30 unique visitors per day for the last 4 years and havnt done anything with the name until yesterday.
