Has the recent drop in standards been due to improvements to your site ? I do have one gripe about your service which I think is an important one. The easiest way to upset your customers is to not offer an equal opportunity to your members. Obviously we cannot all own 1 word.coms and a large proportion of your business must be with mediocre domain names. However when it comes to selection of domains for your Top Domains Category, there is something seriously wrong with the selections. In June I looked through this category and was astounded at the number of poor quality domains accepted by your selectors.( at least 20). If these domains were posted in this forum they would be classed as reg fee or slightly above. If the excuse is that they are brandable, then that could apply to almost any domain name. To me this raises a few questions. 1) How do they pass the quality test. 2) Is there favouritism being shown to certain customers. 3) Do your selectors buy and sell domains on your site,(and if so do they own these dodgy domains). I have been in business for most of my working life and one thing I know is that you have to operate a fair playing field to continue being a top player. If you would like a list of the domains mentioned I can provide one. Your comments are eagerly awaited as communication with customer services about this matter received no response.
Our Brokerage Department makes the decisions as to what domains meet the standards of a Top Domain. Our brokers have experience in brokering top sales in our marketplace. As employees of Sedo, they do not buy or sell domains themselves. Sedo also does not own any of the Top Domains.
To be approved for Top Domains, your domain(s) should meet most of the following requirements:
ยป The domain is short, a real word and is easy to remember
ยป It is a generic domain, e.g. like car.com, creditcard.com or books.com
ยป The domain is easy to spell and not prone to typographical errors
ยป The domain is product-related and therefore has a high commercial value
ยป The domain doesnโt violate any third party rights (e.g. trademark rights)
ยป The TLD geographically matches the language of the domain name
If approved by Sedo's brokers, your domain will be marked with a small yellow circle with a black "T" in the center. If not approved, your domains will not be subject to this icon.

No problem. I think that it is possible to use multiple keyword phrases, but to truly get the best results on Sedo, you want the keyword to make sense. I think that because it uses Google ads, it syncs up well with Google Adsense and the results they show. One more thing to keep in mind. I was told by my previous account manager that the order of the wording in your keyword does matter. For example, "real estate" should produce entirely different results than "estate real". That is, if Google does not override the keyword based on the domain name itself.
If any of this is incorrect, please correct me Stephanie.
Thanks Sleepys!

When selecting Keywords, and multiple words are chosen, our ad providers will choose the advertisement feeds based on the logical order. And if many words are chosen, our providers will choose phrases where the keywords overlap, which may result in irrelevant advertisements being displayed.
