Yes sir! however you might wanna make sure and wait for someone else here to confirm it as I am not completely sure. Better yet, why don't you ask the 123 reg guys because they can give you help better...
What happens to the domains with minimum bids above $10..
GoDaddy keeps them if nobody bids?..
The tdnam names will start at $10. If it is higher than $10, then it may not.
Be a tdnam name expired...
The >10000 traffic names on TDNAM are always bid over $1000. They must be valuable or people would stop bidding on them. Perhaps the guy who keeps buying them is laughing all the way to the bank...
I've purchased a few of them just for kicks, to test them out. Most are loaded with bots and are not worth the money (when the traffic graduates to that level)..
Most of these folks buying them are new domainers I suspect, unless they are developers or traffic redirect buyers. I think they are looking too much at the high number and not the quality. Much of that traffic goes "poof" as soon as you park it, b/c bots are not counted..
C'mon we all know how hard it is to get 10,000 legitimate uniques a month without link farms, bots, etc....
If you buy adult domains - expect an even bigger drop in traffic upon parking or hosting..
Buyer beware...
Keep in mind that many of these expired names had traffic because of SERPS..
Once the names expires and content is removed traffic dies off as the pages are no longer listed. There are certainly some gems out there and hey, traffic's not everything. I've seen names sell for XX,XXX with zero traffic...
That traffic is actually impressions, which includes lots of bot traffic, etc. Cavaet emptor..
I have bid and won about 12 names on Tdnam. The most I paid for a name was $182. I did my research before I bid on that one; wayback, alexa, pagerank, searches. Also if a .com are the other extentions taken. It turns out with the former, traffic has exceeded stats, and so far may have been a good investment..
I may have made one mistake. A "what was I thinking?" If you do your research you can do fine IMO. Either to resell, or PPC. Be careful though...Bots on certain names inflate the numbers...
What kind of traffic can you acquire for $182?..
Bidding on names one should also base things on the names potential. Would you develope such a name? Is it a .com? I see people bidding $900 on a hyphenated three word obscure .net becuse it says, 3000 stats. The above name in question gets 100 hits a day so far, so I got lucky...
