Caught me by surprise!

[alibuba]

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.

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.

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.

[alibuba]

Now im not glad i was banned :p . Those numbers look good guys. Is this recent traffic or from ages ago.

[bwhhisc]

Nice domains RD,
Notebook, Television, Alexandria Hotels, Almanar (the Landmark) not sure on that one...

This month but I think on average I get about 3 cents a click overall!

LOL that was classic!

I have exactly 100 domains on sedo right now and have had that number for 2 months now. Last month i had 375 uniques and this month to date i have 805 uniques. With last month only generating .14 cents and this month to date is .32 cents. I have to say traffic has gone up. Giving this info to give people a better understanding were i am with my arabic on sedo. Awaiting next months stats to see what happens next with traffic.

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.

do u mean .32 cents per click?

[alibuba]

.32 cents in total for this month to date touchring. which is better.

correct good point there

[thefabfive]

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.

[Rubber Duck]

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.

It just stands to reason from my perspective if they are building Bots to trail through IDN they must have some interest in these domains. What possible interest could they have other than either purchasing them or providing services that would facilitate such purchases?

[yanni]

I believe he means that since there is increased interest in IDN from day to day, the big swell is getting closer.

I don't think that they built any bots to trail through IDN, they simply IDN enabled their front-end reporting tools and subsequently told their bots to start tracking xn-- domains which they couldn't handle before.

Other possible interests could include making up for an increasing loss of data for their traditional business - that of selling domain information. Purchasers of this information won't want to buy a report full of xn-- domains, they will also want to see the Unicode characters and translations.

For those of you US residents holding IDNs like taliban, jihad, terrorism, etc. IMO now is the time to start to reconsider your investment decisions. Homeland security will not be amused and will not want to hear that these are benign domains meant for PPC or resale. Yes, you can be assured that Homeland security is a customer of organizations such as domaintools.

Please give the scaremongering a cease-fire. There are plenty of reasons to own these types of domains; mainly for the greater good. The CIA isn't going to be knocking down any doors. In fact these crazy times just makes these domains more valuable at this point and time.
