Hey
Would like a review please on Jag.tel
The Site Plan Is Simple I'm Listing My .Tel's That Are For Sale And Thinking Of Charging A Small Fee To Back Link Or Might Do it Free Or Might Not....I Will Keep The Domain Sale Page.
What Do You Guys Reckon??
P.S Be Honest I'm Cool With It

I'll take a crack at it.
As an end user, I don't like the tiny urls--I don't like not knowing exactly where I'm going (in this case, Sedo). The only reason I clicked on yours is because you're a regular on the .Tel thread, but a casual lander just might hit the back button.
I think Telnic left the URL information visible for a reason: so that landers can decide if the link looks trustworthy or something to avoid. Yes, the Sedo URL with its long subdomain thread structure is clunky, but your destination (from a technical standpoint) is trustworthy, and so it should be out there and visible. That long URL carries a lot important information for the lander, even if he/she doesn't know the specific site (for example, he/she could do a Google search on Sedo before deciding to click on the link).
Recently, I was nearly burned by a tinyurl (a downloader site); fortunately, my security caught and zapped it. But I have become wary of tinyurls.
Also, I think I would consider creating a subdomain (on Jag [.] tel) for each domain you plan to sell. That way you could place the entire Sedo link on that page (and the Sedo URL wouldn't seem so huge, with only one or two links per subdomain). Also, the profile and keywords could be customized for that particular domain, thus strengthening your sales pitch and SEO of the domain. You could even state your minimum price or "Make an Offer" on the link description.
For example,
Adware.Jag[.]tel or Adware-tel.Jag [.] tel (I don't like this sample as well, but I thought I'd put it out there anyway.)
Beeb.Jag [.] tel etc.
This is what I plan to do with Aftermarket [.] tel (I haven't done it yet, though--for now probably a better example is memoir[.]tel, though is not a sales site. Maybe someone else can offer a better example). As soon as I get it together, I'll add it here.
Your profile could specify that links refer to .tel domains: "Click on GoTo links to view .tel domains for sale."
Creating subdomains offers other benefits as well (Google loves 'em, especially if they have rich content, even if terse. On memoir [.] tel, all I did was create a complete sentence in each subdomain profile. Lucky accident on my part, which I plan to replicate on the Aftermarket[.]tel site. Note that I used the long blogger URL for each subdomain with no problem).
See
On the SOLD domain (Lesbian [.] tel, you could pump up the value of .tel domains by revealing the price realized (that is, if you don't have a non-disclosure clause in your sales agreement).
You have a great term (jag); I think that three-letter .tels will do VERY WELL, if
1. They are real dictionary words (Jag is)
2. And/or a popular acronym (Jag is both dictionary and acronym)
3. Premium letters (though for real words, this is less important)
4. Pronounceable
One thing, though, the word "Jag" does not convey a sales platform; however, given the other strengths of the name, this may not matter a whole lot.
After all, Apple.com has nothing to do with selling apples.
Still, perhaps, you should convey the sales aspects of Jag[.tel] in your profile, such as
Jag The Internet Guy
Domains for sale
Click on GoTo links to view .tel domains
or
Jag's Domains for Sale
Click on GoTo links to view .tel domains
"Jag The Internet Guy" already appears in the keyword section. It's kind of catchy, but doesn't quite convey the sales aspect of your page.
Also, I would add another cluster of high-searched keywords having to do with domain sales.
Well, this is one opinion--maybe others can chime in as well.
