Should I stuff SEDO?

Hi,

I've got 19 domains parked at Sedo - 103 views and only 1 click!

Pretty poor really, should I stuff SEDO and go elsewhere?

#1 Make sure all of your domains have been submitted to the search engines. If you have a question as to which search engines your domains show up in, try this site : www.marketleap.com

#2 That click-rate is abysmally low, so I would make sure the pages are optimized as well as they can be. If you have a name like bearrugs.info, make sure the links are relevant to bear rugs, etc...

#3 If you are convinced that you've checked on the items above, and they are OK, give sedo a little bit longer. My click rate has varied from around 4% to just over 10%, and I would say that's pretty typical...I've tried Domainhop & am not happy with the results there.

Good luck!

I would play around the keywords. I get a pretty good traffic/click ratio at Sedo usually 25% or better on most domains (even though they don't pay very well per click). But it does take a degree of experimentation with the right keyword to get them. If they are adult, use the Adult Portal as your keyword and don't be afraid to be specific or use their keyword preview to get the right ads.

Is it with their TOS to put them in the search engines after they are parked?

25+% CTR is amazing.
My domains get somewhere between 3%-16%

I pick really targetted names that have low traffic, but great turnover with very specific keywords...for example, cutekittenpictures.com gets about 3-4 uniques a day, but it gets about 33% click rate on those 3-4 a day. One of these days, I'll get a high traffic one like that and really go to town.

Sooty,
Picking your own keywords is key. Sedo doesn't do very well at that. They even tell you that in their newsletter. Not dumb, just maybe not informed.

I've never seen anything on their site that says you can't submit parked domains to the search engines. Let me know if I'm wrong...

They have so much legalese on these things, it's kinda hard to know what's allowed or what's not. If that's the case, I'll definitely do that.

I read the TOS,It says you can use organic search engine submissions,It says you can share links,It says you can not create traffic via PPC.

Hi, a bit OT here - but is there any good link to submit to multiple SEs at once that you would recommend?

Thanks

As my name suggests I'm new to all this.

How do I submit my parked domains to the search engines.

1% CTR on SEDO is very poor. The key is to make the keywords as relevant as possible.

What I do is pick a 2 or 3 different targeted keywords and run each of them for a week. Then you'll get a pretty good idea of which one will perform best.

How long have those names been parked for? With 19 names over a month, half that traffic could be the bots that sedo mistakes for users.
With poor names/traffic you often do better to just stick a full page affiliate ad, or even a a simple redirect to an affiliate landing page.

Sedo Parking

I have about recently parked about 20 domains at SEDO.
How long does it take to start getting some decent click-throughs. Is it something that gets better with time.
