Type In Domains What Good Are They?

Id think those two domains would at least get some decent traffic flow.

Yet they seem to be real low in the scope of grander things.

Your thoughts?

Should type-in domains aslo have brandability in place to make them profitable?

Type-in domains value isn't for quantity of traffic but rather the quality traffic one gets from someone looking for a specific thing or theme. Building it up beyond the type-ins is always great but the greatest asset it has is the type-ins as those are most easily sold and/or marketed to. A more general domain like men.com is harder because you still have to filter the traffic as compared to something like voyeur.com where they are looking for a specific type of information/product.

I have a hentai domain that gets 3 or 4 joins a mth , for doing nothing.

Love it

If I only had thousands of those ...

Then.................

I wouldn't have to work hard lad daldladadada
Every day I'd ladadadadum
if I had 1000 type in domains..
I wouldn't have to


ahhh never mind

Most people who type in a domain name like men.com into their address bar, generally speaking...are internet newbs (the exception being any webmaster related domain names) ....

How many internet newbs have even heard of Alexa, nevermind download the Alexa toolbar?

Personally, I think those numbers do NOT represent the actual typein traffic the domain gets....

That said, type in traffic is the best....as nick says....do nothing and collect your checks....with targeted type in traffic you can't go wrong.

What the spammer said ^^^

Domains are something I've been drooling over getting in. It's all about traffic - a domain gets 30 type ins a day - that's 900 clicks a month...assured. It's fuckin' guaranteed traffic and the net is still growing - those numbers will increase over time.

That's why people seem to be willing to pay up to 3 years of revenue for a type in domain and will laugh at a "branded" site asking more than a year or so (a year is generous). There's no fuckin' work with type ins. Buy it and sell the clicks to someone else.

It's one of the most secure, and from what I gather so far, probably most expensive long term business plans. I still love it and wish I knew more about it.

To know you have X amount of traffic daily, regardless of buying it - updating sites to keep the punters coming back, blah blah has to make the players in that field cream their pants. What other investment is there that will pay for itself after a couple years and leave the rest for 100% profit?

I can remember on YNOT when Webfather was saying "buy domains" pretty much thinking "the man's crazy!!! I mean look , ilynx.com is in the top 10 sites and it has a silly name"
