Was it worth it?

[Jeanco]

I registered a typo today with 92 overture and 119 overture w/o ext according to startname.com The other stats have been copied and pasted here with the domain name changed. I know that the site gets a lot of traffic and I know I won't really know if it was a good buy until I check the stats but I was wondering what your thoughts were on the subject.

Domain Total Alltheweb Altavista Google Google w/ext Google w/o ext HotBot MSN Overture Overture w/o ext Alexa 3mo. Reach Rank Dmoz listed Yahoo listed

I know the stats above are garbles, but you can make the connections if you're interested. The site's Alexa ranking is in the top 35 000

Is that a 195,849 link popularity? For the typo domain, or the domain that its a typo of?

 

[Jeanco]

for the domain its a typo of

 

[RJ]

Yea, it will depend on how many visitors it gets. Sounds like it's probably worth reg fee at least!

The worth of a typo is in the traffic it generates

Let me know when you find out how much traffic it gets, I'd love to know.

Well I think Jeanco is aiming for a little bit higher than that! :D

I'll keep you updated or post another thread in apprasials once I get a grip on the traffic.

Another one I registered as a typo... here are the stats for the original site:

Domain Total Alltheweb Altavista Google Google w/ext Google w/o ext HotBot MSN Overture Overture w/o ext Alexa 3mo. Reach Rank Dmoz listed Yahoo listed
xxxxxxx.com 492,061 252,246 73,368 5 18,700 85,700 30,586 31,396 60 0 check yes no

I'm hoping that these turn out to generate some traffic... wish me luck :D

this site is alexa rated in top 17 000

Howd it do?

 

[nicholas]

as said above, a typo is as valuable as the type-ins it gets, and if the numbers are sustainable, you can still make some $$ off it via advertising and other income generating methods related to the domain it's a typo of.

well so far I'm happy. Anywhere from 3-11 uniques/day. Its only been parked for about 2 weeks though (if that)
