Is this reasonable for Sedo?

[-Adam-]

I decided to put one of my sites on Sedo the other day for a few hours to see how well it would make out. The site is an adult site but for the few hours I had it listed it did exactly this

829 Uniques
231 Clicks
Payout: $5.79

This site usually sees usually about anywhere from 1500 to 2500 uniques depending on the day but like I said this was for a few hours. If I am reading the records right according to Sedo the payout was only $.03 per click. Is that a fair payout or is it low?

P.S. This is a fully developed site and domain name and I know the source of all the traffic.

In my limited experience, the most I've gotten from my sedo adult domains have been .03 a click...Getting pretty good click throughs, but the payout is very low

I think alot of adult clicks have been lowered lately due to fraud and forced clicks etc...the bids have gone lower...

I wonder if they cap Adult categories at $.03 then but yea the CTR was great I just couldn't believe how low they were paying out.

sedo always pay low, no matter the keyword.
Think about it. Sedo use a google feed. a google adwords ad is minimum 10 cents CPC for the advertiser, sedo often pay out 1 2 or 3 cents.......maximum, for certain keywords.

How much are they keeping for themselves???

I have had lots of issues with sedo, and I don't trust them as far as I can spit.

Switch your domains elsewhere, cos sedo maximise revenue for themselves. They think they have gotten too big, but many online companies have had a swift kick up the arse by the little man

I suggest you to take improve it. Is a only best way for these kind of domain name.

Thanks for the info Talkhost, forgot about the google feed and the fact that they are not to keen on adult sites.

Have you tried premiumtraffic.com ?
I've seen a marked increase in Uniques recorded and CPC with domains I have parked there, compared to other parking sites? They also count multiple clicks.. Some domains do exceptionally well, but others are real shit, but it's worth a few days traffic to try it out. You may be surprised

$0.03 is really low. Some of my best performing domains at Sedo are adult domains.
Average RPC is around $0.12.
I would try to better optimize the keywords, also check the referers if available.
May it has something to do with the quality (origin) of traffic.

Probably not... it's usually cos Sedo are just shit, and they are greedy bastards... this is fact not just speculation, sedo are greedy bastards.... I've got a few emails from Sedo I was warned not to publish on online forums... I was told I'd be sued if I did....

I replied saying I'd love to be sued, that's what I want.... I'd love to see Sedo in court, cos that would bring in google, and they would need to release their data.... so I cannot wait to be sued....

Sedo told me that if I published their emails online I'd be sued LOL.. (some shit about a disclaimer in their sig) I replied saying I will publish their emails anyway, and cannot wait to get sued from them.... Never heard back

I fecking hope they do sue me though..... cos it will feck up not only them but google too
