Fugazzi for real

I have noticed that also. No way it would get that traffic ever.

Such obvious fake results exposes SEDO fake traffic detection vulnerabilities wide and clearly to everyone.

Someone should Digg this, lol.

I have a "fake latin" domain there (using a ü instead of a u) which was regged exactly one month ago, and it has had 14 views so far, but no clicks. I am quite surprised that it gets traffic at all, since it's not linked from anywhere and only runs a parking page. None of my normal domains there have gotten traffic...

Perhaps the traffic has something to do with you asking appraisals for it - ever thought of that?

[jacksonm]

The one in question is not blüe.com. I haven't asked for appraisal about the one which I am discussing.

Strangely enough, blüe.com only has 3 uniques and it was publicized in this forum :-)

WTF?? $46,001!

[jacksonm]

I don't think it actually sold. If you search sedo, you will see that it's still on sale. The buyer probably backed out when they noticed it was an IDN.

I found the same thing with several of the reported IDN sales on idntools; most of them are still for sale on sedo.

None of the dodgy ones ever seem to hit DNJ. The sales must either fall through or Sedo just sanitise the published list.

Well it probably has gotten that many visitors. This Fix auction has been on all the forums. So I don't doubt many people have went to check it out. Which leads the buyer to believe even more he's buying the real thing.

Well, you know something? This only proves that a lot of people, possibly even some ASCII domainers, do not know the existence of IDNs.
