Better earnings, more detailed statistics, and website-like page layouts add up to more money for you!

Based upon the tremendous success of our professional domain parking program, SedoPro, we will be introducing a number of upgrades and improvements to the Sedo Parking Program over the coming weeks. New features to look for include:

* More detailed statistical tools: Sort your domains into portfolios for quicker analysis. Find out where your visitors are coming from and where they’re clicking on your pages. Identify domains needing optimization, and view trends in your portfolio performance.
* Website-like page layouts: Help make your visitors feel at home with one of four colorful new page designs. Select matching photos to customize the look and feel of your parking pages.
* Better earnings: First, we’re now passing more of the earnings on to you. Sure, this means less revenue for us, but we’re hoping you’ll tell your friends about all of the money you’re making with Sedo parking, so they’ll park with us too! Second, we’re now using a new feed from our advertising provider, which will impact both CTR and CPC for many keywords. Although our tests show that the new feed performs better overall, some keywords will perform better than on our existing feed, and some will perform worse. Thus, you’ll want to double-check your optimization to make sure that you’ve picked the most relevant keyword possible, and follow the advice in our Guide to Choosing Money-Making Keywords.

So, when do I start making more money?
Most of the new features will be launched this week, but the shift to the new advertiser feed will be gradually phased in over the coming weeks. Thus, you may see some dramatic fluctuations in your parking revenue over the next couple of weeks. Please don’t panic! Although there will be a bit of an adjustment period, we know that the new feed does earn more money—and we will be passing even more of it on to you than we do now. So make sure to double-check that your keywords are focused, relevant, highly-commercial terms. It may take a few adjustments of keyword to find the right fit for each of your domains. If in doubt, please don’t hesitate to contact Sedo Support.

How much do you believe this may help with the poor revenue performance?


Best wishes,
Kimmy

This should make them competitive with the industry on most keywords, while they'll continue to outperform on international/multi-language domains. A key factor to improve includes landing pages and, most importantly, optimization. According to their new guide, we'll be able to see user search queries within a search page, which will improve manual optimization -- auto-optimization would be much better, but perhaps we'll get that in the future.

I posted this as soon as I saw it on the Sedo website (I’m addicted to checking it every couple seconds – just kidding but it seems like it), then I noticed that the Sedo representative who is a member here started this topic 23 minutes prior in a far more important thread which can be found here.



Thanks,
Kimmy
