2 Month DomainHop vs Sedo test: Who wins?

LeeRyder · 10-31-2004, 03:56 PM

I just finished a 2 month comparison of sedo vs DomainHop tracking test, click throughs etc.

First thing is, I want to say that you may experience differing results and these results MAY be due to many factors, so use this information at your own risk.

VIEWS:
DomainHop does not appear to count all visitors nor does it count all clicks.
Sedo's view count seems to count roughly 800% MORE views than domainhop.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/ppc-cpc-cpm-programs/53817-2-month-domainhop-vs-sedo-test.html

Advantage SEDO

Click Through Ratio:
DomainHop has a nice way to format your parking page, however I noticed that it only seems to register roughly 9% of actual clicks and pays LESS than sedo's clicks, despite their claims

Sedo's click through ratio (for me) appears to count nearly 92% of clicks and has a much higher click through ratio. It also appears that SEDO's PPC is nearly triple that of DomainHops.

Advantage SEDO

Ads:
Domainhop offers many many more advertisements, however a majority of these ads are not relavent to the domain name/alleged site content.

Sedo's ads, while not as plentiful or diverse as DomainHops, seem to attract a higher click through ratio due to being easier to navigate and an overall better font size and type than the competition.

Advantage SEDO (though this is more opinion than a hard fact)

Over all, I am surprised that an upstart trying to compete with sedo would be so failing in it's attempt become a respectable parking lot by taking customers from the big guy.
perhaps in time, DH will iron out these issues and make it more feasible to use them, however until that time comes, I cannot honestly or morally recommend DomainHop.com as a fair and honest system.

Ye i was having problems with Domain hop too doesnt count properly!

You should now consider trying sedo vs fabulous or domainsponsor, I think you would be surprised at the results imo

Referral codes delete from your sig, doubled. Referral codes are NOT allowed within namepros. Thanks for understanding.

jstep · 10-31-2004, 07:44 PM

however i think fabulous is the best from what ive heard

lol · 10-31-2004, 08:01 PM

I am finding the earnings less at DH, as well compared to Sedo.

1rrr1 · 10-31-2004, 08:16 PM

i am sticking to sedo. Can't be bothered changing all the nameservers and all that

anthonyjdoe · 11-01-2004, 12:37 PM

Nice report, although I ahve to side with DH and disagree with the statement DH does not count all clicks or properly....for me at least it's down to a T, Sedo was a huge dissapointment for me as I made around $2.00 in about 2-3 weeks and so far with the same names I have made $70+ in less than 2 weeks with DH....just my two cents

ichibaka · 11-01-2004, 02:31 PM

i'm pretty happy with dh right now, over 2000 unique last month and over nearly 100 clicks.

johnny6 · 11-01-2004, 04:43 PM

Hell, I'm on track to consistently make several hundred a month with domainhop, whereas with sedo it was mid $xx. No question for me. But we all have different experiences.

I think that some of the differences in stats are because Sedo counts stats from many more countries than Domain Hop does. Domain Hop uses only Kanoodle's ad inventory. I agree with you that Sedo is much better right now. A lot depends on the particular name and the particular month, though. I've compared Sedo, Domain Hop, Domain Sponsor, Domain Spa, Trafficz, and Fabulous. I've found Sedo, Domain Sponsor and Trafficz - all 3 - to be best for particular names for some reason. I'd recommend that people try their best names at all three of these to see which one does best for them for that particular name.

I think Sedo is poor and Ds I think is a joke how long it takes pages to load just my opinion but I hate DS. I like SEDO look, but no comparison especially on finance names. .21 on SEDO have gotten as high as $2.40 per click on DH.

xpfreedom · 11-02-2004, 07:33 PM

Domain Hop wins for me

anthonyjdoe · 11-03-2004, 09:26 PM
