Question About Sedo

[Lewstar]

Thanks to the active membership of NamePros.com, I've learned a lot about domaining.

Among other things, I've learned that NameDrive.com and Sedo.com are two of the best places to park one's domain. I've parked about 20 domains with NameDrive, and I thought I'd try Sedo.

The first domain I parked on Sedo was AmandaByrnes.com--a slight misspelling of AmandaBynes.com, a young female star of the new movie "Hairspray."

I checked the relevant boxes and included a couple of links--which did appear: "Hairspray," the movie & Amanda Bynes. However, 5/6's of the page included links for X-rated sites--which are not the kind of links younger fans of Amanda Bynes would like.

In fact, I've had 33 Unique Views and only 1 click. I e-mailed Sedo, and they quickly sent back an e-mail that the company is having a disagreement with the firm that constructs the parking page; I was told that the pages are either X-rated or they are not. I was also told that they hope to have a resolution shortly.

My question to you is, would you wait for the so-called resolution, or would you switch to NameDrive.com? Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

From my experience, NameDrive isn't any better at resolving problems with parking page contents. For one name I had that has the letters 'dors' at the end, NameDrive's system kept displaying ads for "The Doors Music Downloads" even though that has nothing to do with my keywords. I sent several emails, received one reply eventually that said they were looking into it, and heard nothing else.

So, it seems sometimes it's hit or miss. I signed up for bodis.com, created by a namepros member. Read more about it here:

I've yet to set up any names, but that site seems to give you a lot of control over your parking pages, so it may be what you are looking for. The 100% rev share isn't a bad incentive either

Hope this helps,
