DomainHop blechhh!

So, after a month or so of having a couple of domains at Domain Hop, one of my domains finally gets a click, and it shows as having no revenue associated with the click. What's that about? Somebody click on a link that had no ad sponsor? Boy, DH is great. I'm glad I left most of my domains at sedo...

It's possible that the ad was only worth a penny. Some keywords have really low prices on them. The lowest I've ever seen at Sedo was 3c, but at least it was something. I had a click on DomainSponsor that was the same thing, click, but no money. All in all I make more money at Sedo than anywhere else, low traffic, but high yield and I actually got their check.

Sometimes this is also due to the type Traffic or Visitor it was - Not all countries and languages are supported ~
Unfortunately .... Their stats won't tell you anything about your own visitors ~

A couple of pointers:
1) The stats issue is part of the reason I highly recommend setting up a html redirect for your parked pages. It allows you to control your own popups, and gives you great info about the source of your traffic (Like hvbo.com for me, I have my sedo listing popup in the background in addition to the DS ads. Then every hit is recorded in the server stats, allowing me to see the referral of the visitor or if they were a type-in, and allows an independant audit of the parking services stats).
2) I'm surprised DH is below Sedo for you. Sedo is currently my last place performer despite it having the some "high quality" domains parked there. (1% CTR for viewlaw.com, for instance. 45% CTR for XELaw.com at DS (stats from month to date) ).

How the heck do you do that? They allow you to have both Sedo and DS on one page? Inquiring minds want to know. For me DH and Sedo were the same thing, my domains just plays better on Sedo because it's very hard to get a targetted keyword for mine, most of which are off the fray, rather than stuff like law, etc...A couple are adult, but don't sound adult to DH, and they refused to put them there.

Not on the same page, but using PopUnders, same as DH or DS would do automatically. See hvbo.com (Yes, my site. And yes, there is a popup. Disclaimer: Done.) DS as the parked page, with Sedo listing behind to get an impulse buy or two

Very interesting, will have to try that...
