how is traffic estimated for auctions?
I am really disappointed with that service of dynadot, since i bought a domain in an auction for 80+ dollars and was supposed to get about 3400 visits. I put some google analytics code and which is the result for the first days? it gets some visits per day today for example got 4. and was the highest day. Nothing close to 3400 per month!

the sentence "approximate monthly visitors (estimation only, traffic not guaranteed)." must include a link how You estimate it. Else is a scam for me.

also before had alexa and compete rank, now compete rank lost after the auction.. only alexa.

It's pretty much the traffic the domain gets for the 30 days while it's expired.

The problem is you do not filter out Search Engine spiders.

So if a domain used to have a lot of pages on the site and they're all still being requested by spiders, it shows the site is getting lots of traffic, when in reality it isn't.

Spider filtering needs to be implemented :)
