October Parking Stats

[Steve Clarke]

My revenue yesterday, was double of what it usually is.

Mostly Russian, Greek, Czech.

Hopefully a continuing trend.

[Rubber Duck]

I think all of the increase can be attributed to North America.

It must be ASCII Domainers that went to ICANN?

They also seem very focused on Geo-Combos.

I don't see any major differences in mine; traffic or earnings-wise.

I don't think you will unless you have Geo Domains and particularly Geo Combos.

I don't park all of those. I send most of them to my travel site; I haven't looked at stats yet.

My Russian domains are doing very well right now. The rest is primarily Geo except for Greek. Almost nothing from N America. I guess it depends on your mix.

They can look all they want , but our Geo Combos are not for sale individually. Talk 7 figures or just browse.

Not the case for me. I have been equally hit across all languages and all genres, even ascii.

I will bypass my entire click count for last month within a few hours. Let's see how the PPC averages out after the two day wait.

Put your bows and arrows away boys and girls.

Move to the shelters and prepare to repulse incoming. We just moved to Defcon1.

I just see it as a lot of incoming IDN love.

Yeah, what to you see your Inbox!

Also if you have any unregistered lists get them sorted immediately.

You would laugh if you knew how many I regged today. I made someone here feel better about himself because I went a little wild. Pretty good stuff, though, for Nov 2007.

We are already close to yesterdays numbers with over half the clicks coming from North America. Those ASCII guys are going crazy.

I guess somebody just told them to start with an xn-- and then just add a random string after that. Do you think that somebody should explain about IDNA, as not all random strings will produce a valid registration. I guess most of them won't be going through an IDN Approved Registrar anyway. If you go through GoDaddy, you won't have all that language tag bollocks to worry about!

[burnsinternet]

Let 'em click all they want. Once they figure out that GoDaddy is not IDN-friendly, they will be lost.

I'm ready to sell them xn--idn.net

It is actually a Chinese character.

Could it be a new 'bot problem? There were a couple of cases a while back where Namedrive was failing to identify and filter out rogue bot traffic, and once they caught up all the extra traffic disappeared. Just speculating...

Picked up about 4 domains yesterday that I almost slapped myself for not realizing were open.

If it is a Bot, it knows exactly what it is looking for. It can only be under the control of a domain speculator mining for specific topics.

When a bot hits my domains, it zips through them all with hundreds and hundreds of views in seconds. Usually all dot com, dot net, or whatever. This was too controlled and hit all the right ones multiple times. No bot.
