Domain Traffic Testing Explained

Frank Michlick, in his most recent article, explains the concept of “traffic testing” domains:

A list of domain names is registered for a period from 1-5 days and then deleted again if the amount of traffic (or income) has not reached a certain threshold. Some of the testers will display a ‘parked page’ with PPC advertising and some of them will just display an empty page during the testing period.


So which domains are they testing this with? Previously owned ones seems to be the answer.
So if you let your domain get deleted and it has traffic, then you can kiss it goodbye …….
