Caught me by surprise!

Past couple of days i have been getting good uniques and some clicks every once in a while but i checked my sedo account today and noticed i received a .11 cent click for one of my names. i have to say that this is the largest ppc for my arabic to date.
i probably look stupid if their are others that normally get larger ppc but this is the largest for my arabic so far. i hope this continues upward.

btw the name was : القارات.com

means continents.com

any thoughts from arabic holders appreciated. btw what is typical namedrive ppc for arabic.

Re: Caught me by surprise!

توابل.com Spices.com at .19
افلامجديدة.com New Films at .11
عربيةاغانى.com Arabic Music at .06
بيتزا.com Pizza at .04

Most others are .01 and .02 clicks but these and a few others do better.
New Films I think "sticks" but still gets traffic and clicks.
**thanks Sammy for pm letting me know better reg is افلام-جديدة

Re: Caught me by surprise!

Some of these must be one time clicks. I rarely check ND anymore, but looking at stats for 6months-1year, Avg PPC is 0.01-0.03cents.

The big increase in uniques this month are are result of domaintools.com and pingdom.com starting to track IDNs. Not much to get excited about.

Arabic PPC averaging $0.06 for this month. Had two clicks worth $2.48 and $1.11 in the past week to الحجاب.com. Somewhat out of the ordinary for this domain but definitely welcome.

As far as I am concerned, traffic from domaintools and pingdom is nothing but junk which skews the real traffic statistics and artificially lowers the CTR. I'd prefer if ND added a filter and didn't count them.

Now speculator traffic is another story - that's the kind of radar report that I am interested in. There does seem to have been a minor addition of speculator traffic, maybe 2-3%.

How do I know all of this? Because I handle my own DNS even for my parked domains and I process the server logs to correlate with my ND traffic. I do reverse DNS lookups to find out what the visitor's domain is as well as geolocation of the IP addresses.

But according to my poll, these type of reports are worthless to 90 % of you tightwads (I exclude my own vote for the first option, which I felt was quite conservative BTW). You'd much rather use the method of wishful thinking to tell where your traffic is coming from.

Re: Caught me by surprise!

On the contrary. Your reports are always read with interest.

Yes, you are correct this kind of traffic has no practical value, but it does indicate that the days when IDN are going to get mined on an industrial scale are not very far away now.

How does your thought process take you from A to B in this case? Really, I am simply interested in how you determine this indicator with logic.
