Who Can Replace SEDO?

Sedo is one of their biggest customers. So, such an outcome is unlikely. Or, google should then also blacklist Parking Crew, Bodis and other parking companies. I beleive Google explicitly allows parking companies to use alternate monetization in cases where Google feed did not provide any ads. They do disallow mixing them with ads from other channels on 1 page I think, but in cases where there are no G ads received (domain faillisted, no ads for this geo/domain/time combination etc) - then the parking company may use alternate channels.

Sedo, and almost all other parking companies ( I think with an exception of voodoo.com @Donny ) do offer zeroclick via various traffic brokers, so, in many cases, the visitor receives a bunch of 302- forwards or java-powered forwards: until such a time somebody decides to show them something. In other words, Sedo never knows what exactly will be shown to any particular 0click visitor, and Sedo can only improve the traffic brokers selection (or start something new, like accepting ppc bids from advertisers directly).

What indeed should be blocked in users firewall or antivirus or anything - are websites with scams like "You won iPod, please enter your cell phone number to proceed". In most if not all cases such websites are already marked as unsafe by major antiviruses, adblockers, dns providers etc. Most 0click destinations are not dangerous (recently I visited something previously bookmarked as a live website, but it expired, was zeroclick parking, and, after 10 or so redirects I received a blog post reviewing something from amazon + aff links). Nor they are really useful, as well as most of Google ppc ads.

And, zeroclick by itself is not that bad. I tried "homemade" zeroclick - forwarding directly to affiliate links (appropriate for the domain theme, manually selected) - it worked.

Tonic.com - this ZeroClick exchange is used by ParkingCrew, and this is their own platform.
Zeropark.com is used by Bodis.

And Sedo has another Tier2 network from prehistoric times...

Undeveloped for better landers.
theparkingplace for unsure traffic.

G / Y parking for clean traffic

There is no real replacement for sedo and we need them to assure competition for GoDaddy. Measured by size most other marketplaces pale by comparison.

Additionally the auction is an integral part of the process and any company that does not offer auctions is missing a key part of the equation. So some of the companies mentioned in this topic are really not true alternatives.

dont all the parking companies use zero click to monitize traffic? some zero and some google ads?

I use the separate ZeroClick-ONLY accounts at Bodis and ParkingCrew.

Regarding Sedo...
I have disabled their ZeroClick many years ago... when it was just implemented in testmode.

ZeroClick/Tier2 is used in 2 scenarios:
1) ZeroClick-ONLY mode (when Google agreement wasn't signed);
2) When Google agreement was signed but the domain is banned by Google.

And don't forget to complete Sedo parking certification - if you want Google ads.
