LOL @ Flippa.com
Seriously that site has been going downhill ever since they rebranded from SitePoint Marketplace several years back.
I remember when they first launched, they used a screenshot of one of my sites on their homepage for at least a year without permission, and this site was listed on SitePoint before they deleted it and refused to say why.
Pretty much ever since the whole site is full of scammers. People just put up bogus sites claiming to sell Facebook fans, Youtube views and Twitter followers, that somehow make $5k a month and the domains are barely 30 days old.
Then they upload 'legitimate' Google Analytics screenshots, which Flippa never check and then someone stupid enough to buy the site pretty much gets a $10 domain in return for $10k (they take a greedy chunk off every sale of course so they couldn't care less about anyone else)
I would guess that a good percentage of the data they use is complete bogus so I wouldn't take those stats seriously.
Anyway here's a nice Google search if you want to look into this further: http://goo.gl/qfVAW http://goo.gl/qfVAW
