Parking-wise: NameDrive vs. Sedo

[aliengg]

I recently moved 50 of my premium .mobi to ND from Sedo due to disappointment with the revenue that Sedo hands down.

I did the same thing with my Chinese IDNs before, but that didn't work out.

But I was so surprised and impressed that ND gave most of them more than $1.00 per click. For BigTruck.mobi and Biosensor.mobi, I even got $3.62 and $3.30 PC. The PPCs were confirmed as they stayed that way for more than 72 hours.

Just for my curiosity, I, then, moved Digital-Ren.com to ND. It's weird that a name which gets stable 290 uniques daily (reported on Sedo) dropped 50% traffic. So I am wondering if some people couldn't access ND's DNS. The PPC was as low as Sedo's.

Anyone uses both ND and Sedo here? What's your experience?

I would like to share some of my stats when I used to park at SEDO.

November 2004 $3348.68
December 2004 $3292.23
January 2005 $2806.17
February 2005 $1626.35
March 2005 $814.00
April 2005 $415.71
May 2005 $414.15

Jun 2006 everything was moved to Fabulous and Domain Sponsor and been great since.

haha

Why would someone try to enter a .mobi that wasn't ever developed? Makes no sense.

Yeah, I believe Sedo is robbing us. I have a website that is listed, but not parked with Sedo. I put a 1 pixel iframe linked to the parking page. The web counter told me I got 500+ uniques daily (5000+ IP in 8 days), but it has not gone over 800 on Sedo in 15 days.
I emailed Sedo, and their reply was:::

we have been having similar cases turn up recently. Please be assured that none of your revenue will be lost as a result of what is being reflected in your personal account.

We have recently been doing some maintenance on our servers so the updating is probably delayed a bit. Please let me know if you experience this again after the weekend.

Oh yeah, updating is delayed a bit... a bit=a few years?

Curiosity, maybe?
They are all premium or better.

Oh? Check with your registrar. You might have set something wrong.

I have a few parked at namedrive---the only problem I have with them is too many .01 and .02 clicks
I have a credit card rewards name and I have had 2 penny clicks on it this week---you would think a credit card click of any kind would be good
