Improved Sedo Parking Program

[markfromslo]

I just received the following in my email, as I'm sure many of you have. Problem is, I don't see any changes in my parked pages, or in my sales page editing page. How about you guys?

Today we launch a dramatically revamped Sedo Parking program. Your parking pages will gain a sharp new look (which our tests have shown also generates a higher click-through rate), and can now be customized to include targeted photos and even text. You’ll also be given more information to analyze the performance of your domains, and an improved optimizer to more precisely target the advertising on each domain.

Perhaps most importantly, we’ve changed advertising feeds to allow us to be more competitive on a broader range of keywords. This means that you’re going to see higher per-click prices on tens of thousands of new keywords which may previously have been weak. The improved keywords tend to be the more specific niche keywords, which allows for even more precise targeting (and thus, higher CTR) than under our old system.

Of course, there’s always a trade-off, and in this instance it is that a small number of very broad terms seem to earn less under the new system. For this reason, we’re recommending that all customers do a comprehensive review of their parking keywords. Make sure that you’ve chosen keywords which are relevant, commercial, and generate a full page of advertisements. Read our Guide to Choosing Money-Making Keywords (in the new Optimization Resources section) for more advice on how to find high-paying keywords.

We hope you enjoy the new program, and reap the benefit of the many improvements that we’ve implemented. As with any major change, there may be something of an adjustment period-bear with us and we’re confident you’ll see better results in the end! If you have any questions or problems with the new system, please don’t hesitate to write to us at [email protected].

Kind regards,

P.S: If you like the new Sedo Parking and the improved earnings that it brings, please go ahead and tell your friends! The more our program grows, the bigger the portion of advertising revenue we’re able to pass on to domain owners.

Is this SedoPro leaving beta, or an upgrade to the standard program?

This is not SedoPro leaving 'Beta'.
I'm a SedoPro member. This is what I see when I log in:

Announcing the New, Improved Sedo Parking Program!

Better earnings, more detailed statistics, and website-like page layouts add up to more money for you!

Based upon the tremendous success of our professional domain parking program, SedoPro, we will be introducing a number of upgrades and improvements to the Sedo Parking Program over the coming weeks. New features to look for include:

* More detailed statistical tools: Sort your domains into portfolios for quicker analysis. Find out where your visitors are coming from and where they’re clicking on your pages. Identify domains needing optimization, and view trends in your portfolio performance.
* Website-like page layouts: Help make your visitors feel at home with one of four colorful new page designs. Select matching photos to customize the look and feel of your parking pages.
* Better earnings: First, we’re now passing more of the earnings on to you. Sure, this means less revenue for us, but we’re hoping you’ll tell your friends about all of the money you’re making with Sedo parking, so they’ll park with us too! Second, we’re now using a new feed from our advertising provider, which will impact both CTR and CPC for many keywords. Although our tests show that the new feed performs better overall, some keywords will perform better than on our existing feed, and some will perform worse. Thus, you’ll want to double-check your optimization to make sure that you’ve picked the most relevant keyword possible, and follow the advice in our Guide to Choosing Money-Making Keywords.

So, when do I start making more money?
Most of the new features will be launched this week, but the shift to the new advertiser feed will be gradually phased in over the coming weeks. Thus, you may see some dramatic fluctuations in your parking revenue over the next couple of weeks. Please don’t panic! Although there will be a bit of an adjustment period, we know that the new feed does earn more money—and we will be passing even more of it on to you than we do now. So make sure to double-check that your keywords are focused, relevant, highly-commercial terms. It may take a few adjustments of keyword to find the right fit for each of your domains. If in doubt, please don’t hesitate to contact Sedo Support.
