New Rick Latona T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Auction Cheatsheet
Thought it would be useful to make a new domain auction ‘cheatsheet’ for today’s 4:00PM live auction – taking into account reserve prices and using one of my favorite metrics (search demand x CPC) to find keyword .com names which may have more potential to monetize than others.
Once again, due to number of domains involved, I used Estibot to gather search demand and CPC instead of performing individual searches using Google’s keyword tool. I’ve also included links to the auction inventory and to other domainers’ auction picks.
Of course there is much more to selecting good names than analyzing search volume and CPC, but these metrics can be a very useful starting point.
