I have an .in domain with an exotic name. I developed it as a Blogger custom domain (meaning it’s on the Blogger platform but it can be reached by typing http://www.name.in with no blogspot anywhere in the name). It got almost no traffic.

I gave up on it and moved it to a famous parking company that put a very dull page on it. Lo and behold it got a handful of visits a day.

Hmmm, I figured that if an .in name can get some traffic, the same name.com can get more traffic. I bought the .com domain and parked it at the same company. It got almost zero traffic. The .in equivalent still got a handful of visits a day.

I moved the .com to the Blogger platform and developed it. No traffic worth the time.

Can anyone figger out why the .in got no traffic when developed, but some traffic when parked…and the .com equivalent is a pale ghost wherever it is.
