Should SEDO reward you, when you bring TRAFFIC to them ?

Larion said:

I would even go one step further than that:

the Domain-Sales-Commission should be ZERO, once you use the SEDO-Parking-Program.

SEDO is making lots of money off the traffic of your domain-names.
Why are they asking for a additional money in case you sell your parked domains ?

Larion said:

true.
But as far as I am aware, in terms of terminology this is not called "Parking".
The terminology "Parking" is used when there is a "Parking Program" (Advertising) in place.

"Domain Parking Page" = Advertisement yes
"Domain Landing Page" = Advertisement no

Let's just use the correct terminology, otherwise we are mixing apples and oranges in our communication.

There have been suspicions for years that Sedo was under-reporting traffic and income on the parking pages, and making a lot of money - why else did it take them so long to allow non-parking landers? I have no idea what the truth is but earned little from their parking and moved all domains to non-parking landers. When a domain gets a lot of traffic on Sedo I move it to Dan.com so I can see in Google Analytics what the traffic really is.

Sedo are trustworthy for domain sales and do pay out very fast, but they really need to improve in other areas, and I hope they do. And they are not a bugfest like Godaddy and Afternic - they can do things right when they want to.

I think it might be a nice Idea

simple :

SEDO is the best Marketplace for domains
they got the most and best sales

so when you list your domains at SEDO and you bring a lot TRAFFIC to them,
i think than they should reward you with may free SHOWCASE or free AUCTIONS or free
DOMAIN APPRAISALS

sample :

you bring 5000 uniques them in a month than you get a free Appraisal or Auction orShowcase

Dear Michael,

Thank you for the interesting post!

When it comes to parking, we do reward our parking customers for bringing traffic to our website by lowering the sales commission on Buy Now sales to 10%. Instead of 15% if the domain is listed as Buy Now and sells directly on our marketplace.

How about this, we can offer you guys an appraisal for a reduced amount, instead of 99 Euro/USD per domain; we can offer it to you for just 66 Euro/USD. So thats 33 Euro cheaper than normal, if you are interested in taking us up on this, then please note this offer is only valid until this Saturday (23rd November 2019) where it will no longer apply thereafter. You can access the offer by using the below link:

https://sedo.com/order/?language=us...ntent=Promo_Novemberl&utm_term=appraisal30off

Please note, only when using the link will you be entitled to a discount. The discount will be applied to your order when you click to go to the next page, on the first page it will still show as 99 Euro/USD. Please also note this link will only work once per customer!

Michael, I will most certainly put your comments forward as a suggestion to our development team. A loyalty program will be suggested

Thank you for taking the time to write this post.

All the best
Chris

what kind of traffic?

if, the traffic is targeted traffic, then depending on keywords of the domain, you should be earning some ppc.
and that, is your reward

if, the traffic is bot traffic or link traffic, then how valuable is it to sedo, if it isn't converting for you?
and if it is converting, then that's your reward.

you already get to use the platform for free, upfront, and you want a reward for using it, even if you never make a sale there, too?

should other parking and lander providers reward you too?

just asking some of the that pops in my head...

imo….

to bring people to SEDO ( customers or investors ) it does,st matter , than SEDO get a benefit for this

Click to expand...

if your domains on saleslanders without ppc than you earn nothing
you get a chance to sale your domains of course , but still these people are already on SEDO and maybe taking a deeper look...

that,s why we should get a reward

there is no benefit:
if traffic is bot traffic
if traffic is paid for traffic, because it is against TOS
if traffic is not looking to buy a domain name, when it points to a lander.
if traffic is seeking something other, than what the link brought it to, on a ppc page.



you can't assume, that if a sale was made, that the buyer was already on sedo
as that buyer may have arrived on the lander, because they typed the domain name in their browser,
or clicked on a link or were directly referred to the landing page, by the seller.

I ain't mad at you for trying to get, whatever you can from Sedo
if they give up something, then it's good for you and good for me too

but, there are certain realities that have to be considered.
