Er, a domain ranking 1xx,xxx on Alexa for the week a typo of one that is unranked in Alexa? Nope. In fact, with ? = any character, I've tried ?asdating.com, a?sdating.com and as?dating.com, plus sadating.com, as.dating.com, dating.as (the ccTLD for American Samoa), and other possible things asdating.com would be a typo of and nothing comes remotely close to the Alexa.com of the name. It has no incoming links so it's not like a site may have accidentally linked to it even though nothing's on it (which would be a poor source of traffic anyways as they could fix that at any time). The only absolute possibility I can think of is if there's an extremely remote extension that asdating is not only taken in but the domain hosts a very popular website and people are typing in the .com, but the only ext I've seen that's taken is .in (no Alexa) and .net and .org on 9/24/07, obviously not making them the source of traffic.
Also, as someone on another forum has pointed out with no response from this owner, DomainSponsor has referrer data that can be provided. Granted, he's letting someone test it and ultimately we'll either find out whether it's real traffic or not (or they'll buy for $15k and we'll be left with assumptions), but he could have provided that referrer data.
Anyways, he has done a lot of business on the other forum I've seen this on, so I hope for his sake nothing fishy is going on.
