Sedo.com - Worse than bad

**matt_bodis** · 11-19-2006, 11:45 PM

Unfortunately, this is what Sedopro has come down to for me, with a 30% bonus I might add. They consider me in their top revenue share slot with this bonus. Traffic is steady, revenue is down.

I don't even want Sedo to give explanations or to comment, or to even bother doing anything. There's no reason for a $60+ revenue per day domain to drop to $1 per day. That is absolutely RIDICULOUS.

But I'm actually happy. Gives me a chance to win over 99% of the people using Sedopro when my parking program launches.

It's a joke with what has been going on with parking programs....

on 11.15, the bar is so long,so red

crud3w4re · 11-20-2006, 01:46 AM

I hope you learned your lesson.

-db- · 11-20-2006, 01:58 AM

There is very little information provided to draw any conclusions.

What about the earnings on the day before? And the week before?

Was it averaging that amount, $60 per day, over a long period of time?

Guys.. I don't mean to sound jaded, but surely we can come up with posts of more substance, or containing some type of information, or meaningful content relevant to the topic.

gausap23 · 11-20-2006, 02:22 AM

very steep fall in the revenue despite steady traffic!

me too i have strange Sedo earnings..

(i haven't added/removed domains to the Sedo parking)

.

Easydoms · 11-20-2006, 03:32 AM

Agree with -DB- on this one, there must be some sort of explanation for this. At the end of the day most of us are willing to help each other.

Very strange results though!!!!

kwan · 11-20-2006, 06:12 AM

Do you notice your CTR going down or the PPC? I left sedo for namedrive because of the dropping PPC. In the end I averaging pennies. I ran before they started paying in bits

Could it be that smart pricing is weighing heavier for parked sites?

Luke4u · 11-20-2006, 09:25 AM

Sedo is down for a couple of hours: "(111) Connection refused". You guys see the same ?

gazzip · 11-20-2006, 05:22 PM

That is a helluva drop, no wonder you sound so P***** with sedo !

Good luck with your new venture

thebiffenator · 11-20-2006, 07:55 PM

I actuly do think something strange is going on possiblly, one of my top undeveloped domains is averaging 140 per month and i get no clicks in like 20 days on that parked page?!? I have about 40 sites up their and all together I keep seeing is $.91

I'm curious. How much traffic did you receive per day for the periods indicated? Could you post the rest of the stats? Also, is it just that particular domain that has lost its revenue, or did all the domains in your account drop too. Is the drop consistent? Did you do anything at all (change keywords, design)? Thanks

Cyberian · 11-25-2006, 06:41 AM

cfguru,

That graph is a real eye catcher, very easy to tell the enormous
losses you must be sustaining in spite of your 30% (has anyone
heard of a higher %?) bonus.

We would be interested to know if that incredible 5 day drop
of income has continued in its decline or have things adjusted
themselves?

Please post a similar graph of the subsequent 5 days so all might
see how deep this trend may be.

Thank you,
Cyberian

rocknrollo · 11-25-2006, 08:16 AM

I swicthed 6 of my names from sedo to namedrive yesterday and have alreadey earned more in a day at namedrive than I did all month at sedo with all my names.

**matt_bodis** · 11-25-2006, 09:13 AM

Here it is:

Cyberian · 11-25-2006, 11:21 AM

cfguru,

Thanks for updating us on that.
That is a very visual reminder how fast
parking (Google feeds in particular)
revenues are taking a beating.

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=259895
Has your traffic/ctr % fallen off equal to
the rev loss, or has the payout just gone away?

The "Smart Pricing" policy I could understand
smaller, less impressive portfolios being affected,
but to have such drastic results on yours....
well that just seems intentional.

Any other big shooters taking similar losses?
If so, then it really is time we started doing
our own work and get these domains developed.

It doesnt really seem to matter which Parking
we use, since its the Google Policy of only paying
for live returns on the advertisers investments
while the majority of us count our pennies.

Lets hope it turns around sooner reather than later.

Thanks again for sharing that with us.

Peace,
Cyberian

thebiffenator · 11-25-2006, 12:36 PM

woohoo I made a $.05 increase in my parked pages in the last week on sedo And I have over 40 domains. Most of them average around 30 hits per day with out search engine terms.

Something is wrong, either by me or by them. My one site has 159 hits this month and 0 clicks.

Sam · 11-27-2006, 12:05 AM

Revenue is steady for me. Not much decrease hmm.

White Fang · 11-27-2006, 01:02 PM

I had the same experience with SEDO...they talked a good game but didn't deliver. Switched to DotzUp and am making MUCH MORE than what SEDO paid; and on a consistent basis...maybe SEDO should stay with their core business and not purport to be a good place to park domains.

my Digital-Ren.com is doing 300 uniques daily, but they just don't wanna click....

I think it has something to do with the keyword... or the parking page is just not attractive enough.

www.techdo.com · 11-27-2006, 05:22 PM

anyone also noticed that at the starting of a month there are a lot more clicks and $/click than the end of a mont ? (i only have tried Sedo parking)

How's your parking site coming along ?

We could sure use another parking company that pays

better.

-Ray- · 11-27-2006, 07:48 PM

I stopped using sedo along time ago.. I found mini adsense based sites to be way more affective in generating revenue.

twoprime4you · 11-27-2006, 08:22 PM

I am not currently being ripped off by sedo (because I am not using them) but I always thought they were absolutely horrid. I recommend you avoid them like the black plague.
