Here's a datapoint for you:
There is a movie that starts with "the", let's call it "The Prince of Darkness". I noticed that www.theprinceofdarkness.com was the official movie site, but www.princeofdarkness.com was unregistered. So I registered www.princeofdarkness.com solely for the purpose of measuring how much traffic it would get. I slapped on some Google Analytics and here is the result:

So www.princeofdarkness.com has gotten 68 visits. Using http://www.trafficestimate.com http://www.trafficestimate.com, I determined that the original site, www.theprinceofdarkness.com, got 67,600 visits in the past month. Assuming that the estimate is correct, then that means my nearby website attracted 0.1% of the traffic.
I would gladly tell you the real name of the movie, but then you guys would visit my web site and throw the experiment off. :)
EDIT: www.domaintools.com reports the original site's traffic at around 17,000 visitors a month.
- ciscoriordan 17y agoDo you redirect to the "the" domain?
- techiferous 17y agoNo, it just consists of a silly phrase that only makes sense if you've seen the movie. Am I a bad neighbor? I'm assuming that since the site gets such a low number of visits I'm not doing any harm.
- wlievens 17y agoSo your conclusion is, it's not worth it unless you're google/facebook?
