The Basics

What is the dropPal Instant Traffic Checker (ITC)?
The Instant Traffic Checker is a system designed by dropPal for assisting in the identification of domain names which may have a preexisting domain traffic. The ITC processes a list of domains you submit and generates two reports. The first report is the ODP Report. The ODP Report identifies all domains in your list which are linked to from the Open Directory Project. Because of the ODP's popularity on sites such as Google, domains listed in the ODP can often be a good source for domain traffic. The second report is a dropPal Traffic Analysis Report. This report is generated using a proprietary system developed by dropPal for analysising realtime domain traffic statistics on the Web. The traffic staistics are always changing and being updated to reflect the currently popularity of domain name usage on the Web. Domains contained in this report are also listed with relative unqiue visitor data. The ITC generates both reports the instant you submit your order.


FAQs

Q: How accurate are the results generated by the Instant Traffic Checker?
A: dropPal does not make any guarantees regarding the traffic accuracy of the domains in the reports generated by the system. We strongly encourage our customers to use dropPal as a supliment to finding domains with traffic along with other sources. It is important to use dropPal as a means of identifying a short list of domains that may have traffic out of a large list of domains. If a domain shows up in the dropPal results, it only means it may have traffic, not that it will. By the same token, if a domain does not show up, it does not mean the domain does not have traffic.

Q:
What top level domain does the dropPal Instant Traffic Checker support?
A: Currently, the ITC only supports .COM, .NET, and .ORG domain names. There are plans to support other TLDs based on customer demand. If you are interested in other TLDs please contact us.

Q: Do you offer a single report package if I only want and ODP report or a Traffic Analysis report?
A: Currently, DropPal only offers a report package features the ODP and Traffic Analysis report.

Q: Do you offer any reseller solutions?
A: We work with resellers on a one-on-one basis. Please contact us to talk about how you can offer dropPal services to your customers.

Q: Can I submit more than 150,000 domains?
A: We currently only support lists up to 150,000 domains. You will have to break larger lists into smaller lists and submit multiple orders.

Q: Do you sell daily or weekly updates of your entire set of data used for the traffic analysis?
A: Yes, the complete set of data is available on a subscription basis for purchase. Please contact our sales department for details.
