Sewell and Marbury A Week On
Well, it’s been a week since I mentioned my Sewell & Marbury domain and it’s doing okay visitor wise.
On the 7th the site had it’s highest visitor count to-date of 138. Yesterday it was 100 bang on the nose. To-date the site has now had 10 direct type-ins and some 451 visitors courtesy of google search results.
The downside? Not a penny in revenue yet.
SewellMarbury.com
Following on from my little experiment with lostarmymates.co.uk I’ve now registered another fictitious domain. Anyone who has seen the Bourne Ultimatum may well remember a certain investment company named Sewell and Marbury.
As you can see I’m using the custom domain facility within blogger to host a blog for the domain, therefore giving me the ability to add content and potentially get the site within the SERPS. It’s working too to-date with about 70 visitors since last Friday according to the analytics.
Think I’ll put an amazon link in there for Bourne DVD box sets or similar.
Lost Army Mates: An Update
Well, it’s a week on since I registered lostarmymates.co.uk after seeing it mentioned on TV.
According to the analytics the domain has received a total of 257 visits in its first week with the breakdown as such:
- 182 via direct type-in
- 57 via search on “lost army mates” and it’s variants including the domain name
- 18 via referrals (my blog posts)
If I’d purchased the domain from a cheaper source I’d be in profit already and would have 1 year and 51 weeks left before I’d need to pay for re-reg fees.
Quite an interesting little exercise!
Frank Schillings Vital Statistics
A post over at domaintools suggests that Frank Schilling receives around 30 million unique visitors a month across his portfolio of some 320,000 domains.
So, 30,000,000 / 320,000 = 93.75 uniques for each site per month
or very approx 3 uniques per day per domain on average.
Obviously some of his stronger domains will be receiving many more uniques each day and the more obscure domains less so. I’ve no idea exactly how much revenue these 320,00 domains generate, though I suspect it is a very high figure. According to the post above, Frank makes a $100 everytime he exhales! It demonstrates the strength of a portfolio of quality generic domains.
