Almost all my adult domains continue to perform much better with Parked than at Sedo. One domain just got 13 clicks (probably from a single visitor) although the RPC is very low. My record from a single visitor at Parked is 17 clicks! I've never had anything like that number of clicks from a single visitor at Sedo.

Most of my remaining names do better at Sedo (with a couple of exceptions). I find that I get more clicks at Sedo and that Sedo pays more per click for the same domain and keyword than Parked.

Great to hear about your success with adult domains at Parked Matt, but doesn't Sedo ONLY pay for the FIRST click?
So multiple paid clicks aren't even possible at Sedo.

just applied, hope they accept...I only have 11 domains. also, I bought bxox360.com, is that illegal if I use it just for parked.com?

My Sedo stats appeared to show two clicks from a single visitor to one domain and three from another to a different domain recently although I have no way of knowing whether I was paid for all clicks or for just the first click in each case.

Yes, Parked is really cleaning house for TM's now.

Do they only kick out the ones which are reported ?

 

[Premium-Domain-Names]

I don't know about parked, but Sedo always kicks them out automatically, and they have an automated disclaimer in real time, however,
I'm so tired of sedo!
I'm making next to nothing there.
Would I be able to list domains for sale through parked.com, like I can at sedo, and name my price, or offer negotiation?
I'm also wondering if there would be an alternative that would let me customize the parking page.
I just wish there was some place to plug in all my domains and have them magically turned into profitable ecommerce websites, that related precisely to the content of my domains.
Is there such a place?
If not, there ought to be.

Yes, I've tried almost every parking co out there and Parked still seems to have the highest revenue overall!
You can definitely add custom content...including articles and images.
The templates may seem a little "outdated", but in the end they bring in the revenue.
Eventually brand new templates will be unveiled.
And as far as TM names, no company will support those.

I think the ones that are obvious when companies complain.

 

[Premium-Domain-Names]

Thank you much, SDX.
I will try them.
By the way, I want to sell domains here but am brand new,
although I registered 10 months ago, and just started posting yesterday.
Can I PM people and post domains yet? Or is there a waiting period?
Thank you in advance.

Also, are all famous people considered trademarks?
What if they are no longer alive?
I have quite a few, but I have purchased many more generic domains
in the last year, since I've learned that they are much more desirable, seemingly.
Are fan-site domains just asking for trouble?
I don't want to develop them, just to sell them to people who do.

Too may 404 errors..

I have a domain "Glycerin.in" parked at PARKED .com
This domain in particular used to get 5-7 unique hits a day when it was at sedo but after moving it to parked,i am getting a lot of 404 errors daily.Yesterday I got 404 errors 22 times for this domain.Apart from 404 the report shows 2-3 regular visits for this domain.
The name servers are okay and if I open the site for a test (I have done it only once...just to test) it is displayed correctly instead of a 404(Not Found) error.
I have no clue what's happening to this domain..
kindly help...
Thanks..

You aren't losing any revenue because of the 404's. Usually they occur because, in the past, the domain had backlinks to something other than the index page. What Parked does is serve up the index page for all those 404 connections. I'd trust Parked stats over Sedo's any time.
