Are Sedo's Landing Pages Efective or Not Efective for Domain Sales?

[lennco]

Sedo's landing pages have not really been updated in years and still focus more on Ads then trying to get people who land on them to buy a domain name.

What is your opinion on Sedo's Landing Pages and what would you do to improve them (if anything) to help you make more domain sales?

Thanks
Len

just redirect a name (and www subdomain) to
https://sedo.com/search/details/?domain=yourdomainname.tld

no ads, quite straight and clear landing page with everything you need incl buy now or make offer form
a name needs to be listed on sedo of course..

example: https://sedo.com/search/details/?domain=relations.com (not mine)

Technically at that point the domain is not parked on Sedo so a fixed price sale will pay a 15% commission not a 10% one. But it probably is more likely to sell.

I prefer the landing pages at DomainNameSales.com.

Correct and that's bogus really, they need to give people the opportunity to have a lander without ads, I mean you are paying me .03 and the person still needs to click another link to find the sales lander. Just let people who want to have a straight sales lander have that option.

Thanks, I was just about to ask that question on the 10% fee for parked Buy Now pages.
That is a good example for Make Offers but not Buy Now's.

I park at Sedo for one reason 10% commission.

I use my own landing pages at my own marketplace.

While the layout of any landing page could have some impact, ultimately it is whether or not the person landing on the page is interested enough to fill out the form in the first place.

If they are seriously interested in the name, I do not think the layout of the landing page would make much difference.

Someone who is truly interested will contact you regardless of the landing page, and it doesn't matter if it is at Sedo, Efty, parked, or whatever.

I would like to see the sales pages to be the landing pages.

i just add that 5% diff between parked/non-parked fees to a bin price...
only $50 for every $1,000

 

[lennco]

I do

Not for the parking revenue that's for sure but for the lesser commission fees.
10% Buy Now and 15% Make Offers are still way better then Godaddy's fees of 20% and others.

What I love about Sedo is the speed of their Escrow

I have sold a domain in the evening or early morning and have had the deal completed and funds in my account by noon the same or next day.
Their escrow blows away everyone else like Escrow.com and Godaddy's 2 - 3 week wait.

I just think their Landers need to be improved.

sure. i also use my own landings and contact forms for most of the names i own.
but for mid class names in $xxx range that you probably want to get rid of as fast as possible impulse buying could be a huge factor.
sedo listing gives you that option - when a buyer lands there he can buy and pay for the thing at once with a couple of clicks and his credit card/paypal. sedo will do the rest, fast and professionally
when the name is on your homemade landing page he needs to contact you first, wait for reply, negotiate, go thru escrow of some kind, pay, transfer... too much of a hassle for a $300-600 name, imho... his impulse may dissipate at any stage of the process

Excellent point !!

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

It depends on the quality of domain only...
The buyer thinks about certain domain, not about your lander...

Regarding monetization...
Yes, good templates are really important...

p.s. I saw $32K sale of domain (.LY) that was unparked and unresolvable at all.

 

[biggie]

the landing pages at sedo, must be effective for those who sell names there.

but effectiveness, comes with an attachment to the variables > domain name and price.

not so much the lander, because they all have pretty much same info.


imo....

 

[frank-germany]

I can't see that they didn't improve on landing pages
I think they are beautifully

I have no clue , if they more effective as the old dones
but I like them a lot

 

[frank-germany]

the only problem is the hint to look for other domains

That is an Offer Page not a Lander.
But when I go to that domain it takes me to BuyDomains.com page

They do but the one bit of info you would like to really get clearly across on any lander is.....

This Domain Is For Sale/Buy Now or Make Offer

This is usually a small link on Sedo's lander somewhere off to the side or top as with most other landers from other services and that is my biggest problem.
I would like to see more emphasis on the domain being available for purchase on its landing page.

 

[Emmy101]

Big company like Sedo should improve their landing page more often !

I would expect every parking company
to improve on domainers parking income

no matter which changes are necessary

Yes, I would say that's the best wayyy
Landing directly (through forwarding) at Sedo's offer page of the domain when typing in or clicking on the domain, has the best effect for an enduser who is interested in the domain (in this sense it's even an advantage to not have the domain itself in the URL but only it's offer page URL - this let the domain itself look even more 'unused').
But landing at an ads page, seeing the domain itself is used for this ads (page), has probably a negative influence for a purchase decision.

example: https://sedo.com/search/details/?domain=relations.com (not mine)

I was not able to get this link to work when I used it as a forward. However, I did get this one to work:
www.sedo.com/search/details.php4?partnerid=&domain=relations.com (not mine)

Interesting that I could click on your link and it worked fine. But when placed as a forward, no go. Maybe it took longer than I gave it to propagate?

EDIT - I finally got your original link to work. I used https:// too. Thanks!

15% for nothing... It has no any impact on the buyer's motivation...
You can sell your domains even using blank page with just your email address on it...

 

[nomen]

Only thing I like about the basic Sedo parking landers is that the 'for sale' message is localized, i.e. when I visit the parking page from Finland it says in Finnish that the domain is for sale.
