Recently since July 31st I started to implement a few IDN shopping sites. It’s only less than two weeks but I’ll share some traffic stats.

I created 4 sites close to the same week. 2 dot coms & 2 dot jp sites. The extension didn’t really make much of a difference it’s content is more important. The last site I put up gets the most traffic so far. Content is important & looking at the competitor space.

I compare my traffic stats to what I would have gotten if it was just parked. My best of these sites gets 30 uniques a day. Even though you may think this isn’t much it’s only been built less than 2 weeks ago. Currently there is no traffic from Yahoo. Yahoo Japan’s Site explorer is currently down & has been down for like over a week so there is no fast indexing in Yahoo for these sites.

The 4 sites all have different amounts of posted content. I would recommend having at least a plan to have 1,000 pages of content in your site to start getting good traffic.

The traffic is too low to analyze clicks to conversions. The top site has just gotten to the 30 uniques a day. I clearly see as more pages get indexed the more users are coming to the site. Maybe over the weekend I’ll clean up the design a bit. Either that or I’ll test out putting up 2 more sites but I want to use a different platform next time.

These sites are in the shopping category. I’ve been also working months on a travel solution & might have one site up over the long holiday weekend here in Tokyo.

I can add more ads later mainly at first I want the traffic.
