type-in domain value

[polish_aristocrat]

what's the true value of a type-in domain, that gets about 200 Overture searches monthly?
What might be the monthly type-in traffic for this domain name?
And in general, how does type-in traffic convert when it is redirected to a sponsor site ( assuming the domain name matches the sponsor site's niche ) ?

- - - to be precise - I am not talking about a keyterm that is searched 200 times monthly, but about a good domain name ( .com extension ), like blondepussy.com , gayxxx.com etc...

Basically, if the domain isn't making shit, it's not worth shit.

[polish_aristocrat]

that's not the answer I expected

[greentea]

Whats the domain?

Worth no more then 30 bucks

Depends.... If you typed "Blonde Pussy" into the Overture inventory thats one thing, but the better way to assess the type-in value is to type "BlondePussy.com" because that seems to be accurate. Type in Yahoo.com and see how it compares to Yahoo.com's real daily traffic. I'll bet its not far off.

Extremely well..... if, as you say, the domain name matches the sponsor sites niche. Type-in traffic is really unbeatable if its used in the right way. It also seems to grow year on year.

I had like 50 in total and I sold 40 of em as i dont have time for the biz..... they sold really fast so I think webmasters are getting wise now about type-in traffic but its only 2 years ago people didnt believe type-in traffic existed.

yes, I was talking about "blondepussy.com"
- I mean not about the exact domain but about a domain that is searched about 200 times monthly on Overture

you don't have time for this biz ?
so what you are doing here !?
anyway, did you have any really valuable names?
can you give me an example what domains you had and was was the type in traffic they were getting and how much someone paid for them ?

Im winding things down & tying up loose ends.

No... I had lots of small ones.

Off the top of my head:

MumbaiSex.com (160 typeins/day) sold for $800 KenyaSex.com (10 typeins/day) sold for $80
EgyptSex.com (250 typeins/day) sold for $1100

hope this helps....

I know of some rich squatters that might disagree with that.

hm, I don't get it...
you said that if the domain name matches the sponsors site, you can have great conversions...
but you sold a domain name with 7500 type-ins / month for only $1100... 7500 type-ins monthly with a convertion ration of 1:600 and a sponsor paying $35 per sign up equals $420 monthly revenue, doing absolutely nothing... and you sold it for $1100...
are the prices always similar ?????

Look man im not getting into the semantics of it. Some people would rather point their type-ins to a sponsor and arguably thats the best way to benefit.

My strategy was to point them to my tgp exciter.com in the hope that the users would come see the site like the free stuff, come back and maybe buy something. Now to some people that was dumb but i felt it worked out okay sign ups wise.

> are the prices always similar ?????

No i just used the model Ive heard is used for type-in domains and then i just deducted a lot to push them through swiftly.... which worked.

I think the standard these days is to multiply the yearly uniques by $0.02 and the figure that comes up is the price. So according to this model, for EgyptSex $1800 might have been more realistic.

Dont forget that when someone wants to cash in, they want to cash in and people do sometimes sell something for what its worth..... I sold these domains on GFY and 99% of the people were sceptical but to me it was just apparent that only 1% of them had the experience to know the benefits of type-ins.

TypeIns are huge. But only a handful are exceptional.

Type-ins are gold when used correctly....some of the wealthiest webmasters in the biz have made their money in this fashion..the best part is it requires very little work on your part....just cash the checks!

Unfortunately, I rarely see the really good domains come up for sale anymore...

Anyway, if anyone has some GOOD domains for sale, I am looking to buy before the end of the year... (hint : there were no good domains mentioned in this thread)

[Mr.Fiction]

I am always looking for good type in domains. Post them if you have them for sale.

[WendyB]

Type-ins, misspells = money in the bank. I have several hundred domain names pointed at various sponsors and as others have responded...it's easy money.

The funny thing is, the search engines list many of the domains and S/E traffic produces positive results.

just my 2 cents

Yep, you're on the money with that statement. Serious moola and bling bling time for the chosen few who saw the magic formula early on.
