discuss Who do you trust for CPC data? And what’s up with Creation date?

[Molly]

Hi guys. I’m building on the good advice given by many — especially @Bravo Mod Team — and expanding my horizons.

I’m a big fan of data, and am starting to gather info like created date & CPC (and searches) in my nifty spreadsheet. I’m relying primarily on Esti for this. Do you have better alternatives?

Also, why is it that a handful of domains that I bought at closeout have Created Dates matching the days I bought them? I even checked another website’s WhoIs data & it matched. Thanks!

Thoughts appreciated!

Hi

no matter what/which tool/site you use to get cpc/traffic etc. you still won't know exact figures until you acquire the domain and monetize it.

spending money on subscription sites only puts cash in somebody else's pocket.

the same data, if one looks hard enough, can be found for free

imo....

Thanks, @biggie! I suppose at that point, I would just use the numbers reported by Sedo parking…?
