Sedo-How long to judge a domain?


Hi All

I'm only just starting, hence the newbie section. I have a couple of .com's and a couple of .co.uks. I have parked them on Sedo. How long should it be before I know which, if any, are worth having? I read somewhere that another domainer got hardly anything in month one, but in month two, he got some worthwhile income. I understand that each domain is different, but how long would you say I should wait before deciding which to ditch.

Thanks
John

From my experience, parking income varies with the traffic and that can be all over the place. In my parking account with another service, my daily income this month has been as low as $2.17 and as high as $665.39.

But to show how things can vary even more I had two lower traffic days than that lowest income day. So it's really hard to get any sense of how things are going to go specifically. I am happy with the service that I use, but my friend says he will park a domain at one place and give it 2-3 months and if it doesn't do anything he will move it to another service and try again. He uses 5 or 6 different ones I think. Some that are automated may work better for certain domains, others will work better if you can spend the time to choose keywords and change them and the template to find what works.
