Dump Sedo...I am making 900% more on avg with...

[movingconcierge]

NAMEDRIVE! I know there have been a ton of these parking threads, but I just did the math and I am making 900% more at NAMEDRIVE over sedo.

I mean, some of my CLICKS are paying me more than sedo did in an entire month...So, other newbies take note, move your stuff to namedrive or just away from sedo...Sedo sucks for parking.

 

[Jake Enser]

900%? So my $75/month times 900%...that'd be like...alot.

How much do you make per click with what keywords? Will it be more then the $2.12/click I'm making at the moment?

 

[End User King]

Perhaps ?? - Most of mine were tourist related keyword domains where changing keywords to something else would not really be very practical IMO.

Domains like QatarHotels - Channelferry - Bicycles - DubaiiHotels - DubaiIslands - CroatianRiviera etc


I have seen numerous threads here about how peoples revenu increased dramatically so I kinda expected alot more. If you are undecided RonnieW just test 50 or so to see how they do for you My primary objective is for sales anyway, any PPC is just a bonus for me.

TQ Gazzip. I will give that a shot.

If you got "900% more" as the OP suggests, it would be $750, but one person's experience is not enough to jusitfy switching, :imho:

If you're happy where you are, move a domain or two to try things out somewhere else. If the grass really is greener, you'll move.

This seems more like a "hate sedo" or "commercial" reaction more than anything else, although I park with neither of the two co.'s at the moment (Thanks, 1plus.net </ad> )

I am just the opposite, my NameDrive parked domains average about $0.13 a click...

My Sedo parked domains average about $0.30 a click... obviously my keywords are not the best, and I have not taken the time to really "tweak" my parking settings... But NameDrive has been a big dissapointment to me so far...

 

[domainsusi]

I moved about 50 names to namedrive for a couple of weeks as a test.

I was NOT impressed - pennies only - and after a few days the pennies were reduced to even less.

I'm back at Sedo - not the greatest return - but a WHOLE lot better than namedrive.

If you all have a secret to getting more out of namedrive I'm sure everyone would be interested to hear about it.

Maybe I am not that odd after all !! - Damn, I like being odd :blink:

(slightly off topic but relevant)
ps - By the way guys, I have been in contact with sedo a few times over the last two months about a problem relating to a percentage (40%) of my domains where the pages indexed by SE were showing portals instead of related chosen keywork PPC links.

I have checked just about all mine and they now work correctly - I would be very surprised if this did'nt result in a much better click through rate for everyone.

Good job Sedo

This seems more like a "hate sedo" or "commercial" reaction more than anything else,

My switch really wasn't motivated by my very public hatred of 1and1.com...I was making nothing at sedo...I read all the posts here about others making much more than me with other services. I tried goldkey, domainspa, sedo, etc. I am just having much more luck with Namedrive. 900% is something to crow about and share, don't you think?

It is only a pleasant coincidence that I get to boycott Sedo due to their relationship with 1and1.com.

I have some real estate and moving domains that pay me >$3.00 ea. with Namedrive. At sedo, I wouldn't even get traffic to register. Some of my names are doing worse than at sedo. Some of my .be names were getting lots of traffic and clicks at sedo, but the payout at sedo was 1/2 that of ND. Most of the keywords are generally the same.

Namedrive is worth a testdrive IMHO.

For those who do better at sedo, more power to you. I would have preferred not to move 100's of names around, but hey, gotta make those names pay for themselves...

I love NP...so many smart people helping other smart people earn that greenback... All opinions welcomed...even wrong ones...

 

[Volholic]

I had also heard that namedrive was so much better and I also moved about 60 names over to ND and as someone else had posted---It was only pennies a click---they started out like .05 and then dropped to .02 or .03 after a couple days---the amount always went down for me never up---and my sedo clicks realy have seemed to increase in just the last week----however there are a few that I am getting hardly any views on at sedo that I might try at ND

Actually Allan wouldnt $750 be a 100% increase? So a 900% increase would be $750 times 9, which is $6,750/month? Which I couldn't see happening. My math is probably wrong.


But how is all this extra money made may I ask? Does ND give more more for clicks, or are you just getting more clicks? You can go from 0 clicks to 9 clicks in a day, 12 cents a click, and its still a 900% increase....

Can you post screenshots of the 900% increase, cause if its true, I want to be making that kind of money.

 

[movingconcierge]

I think posting the actual numbers is against TOS, but my general math is

Sedo ~$22 over the course of 6 months...pathetic huh...
ND ~$68 over the course of 2 months...much better...

(22/6) / (68/2) = 9.72 - or 972%...is my math wrong here?

I admittedly have an amatuers portfolio of names, but the numbers she no lie...

The only wash to the numbers are a handful of names that I have at ND that I didn't at sedo, but they make up such a small amount of $$ in the grand scheme of things that it's barely worth mentioning.

>900% caw..caw..caw

Name Drive For Me​

300 low traffic.coms used to produce $10.00 - $12.00 a month at Sedo.

Last month at Name Drive - $48.63

So Far This month at Name Drive - $27.49

My cctld's are producing $hundreds$ of dollars a month at Name Drive though I never tested them at Sedo.

Domain Enquiries at Name Drive - over 15 in two months.

Some of my clicks this month...

PoolCeramics.com $1.19
IndiaProgram.com - $1.23
DiverPassport.com $0.63
ChineseRestaurantPhiladelphia.com $0.49

and a whopping $2.83 on a trademarked cctld.

However, regardless of earnings, I give my full support to Name Drive for their outstanding attention to Customer Care.

A topic the average company fails to understand.

I had Ed and his Tech team responding to some details by email at 03.00am this morning!!!

Beat that Sedo...

Are you optimizing your keywords using Ovt bid tool?

 

[Dr.Lee]

Namedrive have many 0.00 and 0.01 ppc now.
Still like the template of namedrive.

last month I got a lot more visitor traffic at NP and not so much in the way of clicks, also a lot of low value clicks, but this month it is picking up and the value of several clicks is increasing several on names which were getting nothing of anything on sedo. in general the adult names are doing OK but the commercial stuff is getting nothing much, so I may move some of these over to afternic to see if any difference. still have a few names at sedo until the next payout and then will pull them.

This thread bothers me a bit.

To be upfront and for perspective only, will not reply to further questions.

I was sending sedo roughly 1,000,000 visitors a month and am sending this traffic to Namedrive for test.

Any change on the level that is being discussed here is somewhat irrelevant.

The reason I say this is not to be a dick or satisfy a superiority complex, it is because when you talk about massive increases in performance based on low levels of traffic it is both inaccurate and completely unreliable.

Person A can be talking about less than 100 clicks per month, what person A could talking about, is a portion of traffic that NameDrive monetizes better than Sedo does for whatever reason. (without malice or intent)

Person B, reading Person A's experience may think to themselves "well damn, if he is seeing this type of increases I'm bound to see a large increase also".

In some scenarios, this will play out. In some it wont.

Ultimately, what you are seeing is domain management at it's basic level.

It should be every "domainers" goal to optimize their domains both accurately (if you have random clothing traffic don't send it to poker etc.), and to optimize with companies that will make you the most money. Micromanagement combined with respect of the industry, and interest in the development of the industry as a whole.

Micromanagement, though taking a large amount of work, does enable you to see much higher returns.

Test your traffic everywhere for 2 weeks - a month per company, find out what works on an individual domain level, utilize your ability to manage on that level, and prosper.

Just my 2 cents.

Question to those on ND: Are the poker clicks all paying out low? A large part of my revenue on Fabulous is from poker domains and typos. I make over $500 a month because poker clicks are generally over $9 on Fabulous. Can Namedrive even come close to that?

 

[movingconcierge]

Person A can be talking about less than 100 clicks per month, what person A could talking about, is a portion of traffic that NameDrive monetizes better than Sedo does for whatever reason. (without malice or intent)

It should be obvious I am not talking about 1,000,000 visits per month with $22 and $68 values...I think that those of us who read the initial posts will be able to glean that from the math.

Person B, reading Person A's experience may think to themselves "well damn, if he is seeing this type of increases I'm bound to see a large increase also".

That is exactly how I came to live at Namedrive. It did play out for me. I think it may play out for others too. Not everyone, obviously, but some. Again, I think a 900% increase is something to note to the group at large, don't you?

Are the poker clicks all paying out low?

Sorry, pal. I don't have any poker names...$9 / click is pretty damn good though...If it were my name, I'd keep it put. Unless someone who is at ND can attest to the poker click $$

 

[gazzip]

From what I have read at NP's pretty much everyone says that Fabulous is best for poker domains - the downside seems to be you have to list alot of domains there 100+ as far as I remember.

NameDrive paid me 0.28 for one poker click :td: I did'nt hang around long enough to see if it was going to get any better.

[tetrapak]

Dont park your poker typos at namedrive, fabulous is the best for it of what ive heard. All your other domains should be tested with ND though imho. Even Sedo is better for poker/gambling related domains.

I'm interested in what you have found, it is useful, but to utilize what you say beyond passing interest, you need to add some content and context.

It would be useful if you were to post the information for some of your domains, while hiding the domain name for example.

ie. previous optimization & current, ctrs, revenue etc.
