A domain name I parked at Sedo is redirecting to discovertheforest.org

[jideofor]

Hello, has anyone experienced this? I changed my nameserver to point to Sedo less than 10 minutes ago. I tried to check the domain name to see what happens and it is redirecting to https://www.discovertheforest.org/

Does anyone experience this?

What's the name? We can't trace it without the name.

In my contry redirect to a scam site.
It is no click parking, simply your domain it is auto redirect to advertisers site (geolocated) and does not show any Ad feed.
Check your parking settings in sedo and change it.

Please always remember to complete the Parking Certification under https://sedo.com/member/membercert/index.php?display=parking&language=us. That way you can make sure that you monetize your domains in the most efficient way through our premium advertising provider, without Zero-Click.

So this scumware is supported and promoted by Sedo at the expense of their clients.

The sooner we get away from the EU, the better.

Sedo uses Google's feed , Google serves all the ads including Zero Click , nothing to do with Sedo itself or the EU

I checked on that media site, and it looks as if its's some rubbish chrome addon site. I was using Chrome to browse. I tried it in Firefox, and I got a sports motoring blog site with no advertising. This is the final straw for me, and I'm returning to Firefox and uninstalling Chrome. Google has been jerking me around a lot recently via Chrome.

I know that a lot of parking companies use these auto-redirects ads when an ad-blocker is installed. This could be the case. Typically, Zero-click is the culprit

So you park with them, and because of this, you end up with a toxic domain that you have to sell.

I tried parking at sedo and dropped it like a hot potato. I was getting redirected to sites with no relationship to the name. If it was buymyboat or fixmycar or the like it was a site about recipes or some way off thing as an example. Really disappointed with them and another place I stumbled upon didn't seem any better in that regard. Both would redirect to malware sites as well. There may be a way to correct it in the settings but how can they let that happen for the default settings? Very unimpressed with sedo from a few standpoints. Now if I sold a name there I could see my impression of them changing for sure.

Via LiveChat or ticket - ask them to disable their ZeroClick per your account.
And that's all.

p.s. ZeroClick is also used when the domain is banned by Google.
