Namedrive earnings down 80%, Sedo up 80%?!?

[Phronesis]

I can't believe it. I've made more at Sedo this month than Namedrive. That's NEVER happened. I've always gotten more uniques at Sedo, but the clicks and revenue have historically stunk. Also noticing a big decline in avg ppc at ND. Used to get avg ppc around $0.60 / click. Now it's down to $0.10! Meanwhile, Sedo avg used to be $0.10 avg ppc now up to $0.18. Anyone else seen this too?

Sedo has just changed providers of their parking program to Google I think. However, I think it was just announced last week, so I don't know when or if it's actually in effect yet.

I made more money at Sedo in this month than the whole year.

It has been in affect for about 10 days or so and I have seen a big jump in rev. and clicks----I have moved almost all my names back to sedo.
It is great---Hope it continues

I noticed also a slight downway at ND.

 

[fleshas]

A shocking month at ND !!!!!

Massively down on last month

 

[Premium]

At the beginning of the month my ND revenue was way way low and I thought it was just summer, but as summer unfolds it should pick up and it has been for me. Some names are down but others are up which evens it all out. However I have never really parked any names with Sedo so I'm not sure about Sedo.

I'm with Premium...my NameDrive started out a bit down early in the month,but bounced back to normal-if not higher-than before.
In that same time,I have a small group of names I keep at Sedo and none of them have seen a real increase.I do like all thier new features though,I might move a couple heavy hitters over to Sedo to try.

 

[Halobitt]

Not noticed any difference with my names so far.

 

[Keynes]

Sedo's been way up this month for me as well, although ND's about on par with usual

 

[movingconcierge]

I've noticed a drop of about 30% of avg click rev., but I have dropped some names, so my stats are a little muddy right now. My cut-through-the-BS senses tell me that the rev is down overall this month regardless of # of names.

I asked ND to review my portfolio and fine tune it if they can. They said they made some changes. We'll see.

Fabulous is killing ND by double rev with 1/3 of the names. Maybe it's time to switch...just never to Sedo...ever.

I'm not happy with ND lately at all.

I cant cover my expenses this month... will suffer badly in the coming weeks...

Sedo are indeed on the up it seems, I do like their new parking features...time will tell if this month is an anomaly. I've tripled my parking revenue this month with them.

 

[movingconcierge]

What did it go from a dime to a quarter :hehe: ... Not knocking your names, but the last time I had names at Sedo, I was making $2 a month, not $2 or better per day like I do now.

NameDrive is cutting their payments to everyone, lowering %s and lowering traffic/click counts, and suspending domains/members without reason.
it's been going on about a month and a half.

 

[movingconcierge]

I'm sorry, but you're going to have to qualify that statement with some backup data...it's a pretty strong accusation of a relatively placid company. My clicks are down and so is my rev...but not to the point that I'd make a generalization like that.

I can't believe it. I've made more at Sedo this month than Namedrive. ?

Sounds good Phronesis - Can I ask what style of landing pages you have been using at sedo ?

I'm only doing slightly better at sedo than last month but still nowhere near as good as it used to be earlier in the year.

Actually, I hadn't changed any of my landing pages at Sedo to the new ones until just yesterday. Also, I moved one domain from NameDrive to Sedo yesterday as a test. This name usually only get 2-3 uniques/day at ND. I have 12 uniques and 8 clicks since I moved it to Sedo 18 hours ago. Maybe a fluke - who knows. The payout on that name appears to be about the same as it was at ND but obviously traffic is higher (not even sure how that could be possible).

For a while, some of my financial .nets and .orgs at ND got indexed by google for the exact term and were in the top 2 or 3 in the SERPS. When that happens it's like Christmas every day. You open your portfolio every morning to see how much $ came your way overnight. ....I'm not an addict ... :o
