Sedo Offer Views

[jasoncs10]

I got 22 Offer Views on one of my domain names i came up with while drinking coffee a few days ago. The domain has only been on sale for about 72 hours. Is this a good sign that offers will start to probably come in soon, because its just barely been on the market?

Maybe. Lately there seem to be a lot more offer views and I am not sure where they come from - could be:

From the link from landing page to sales page.

From searches on Sedo.

From affiliated sites like DomainTools.com

From bots or scripts that check prices or who is listing domains (owner's location and day/month of joining is an identifier).


I'd like to know why views are going up - before I believed they were humans and a lot of views often preceded an offer or a sale, but not now, so I wonder if scripts are crawling these pages or Sedo are just no longer excluding bots from their stats.

Anyone got any ideas?

no this still doesnt make sense, because other domains for sale for a while often still have 0 offer views

im not sure but i have had a lot of offer views on my domains on sedo in the past and never received an offer for them,

I have sold domains on Sedo which had 0 views on the parking page and the offer page, no idea how that happens.

i think sedo stats are total mess.. bots in parking stats.. other stats messy too.

biggest mess of all is that $60 industry leading min fee on your sales.

good payment/transfer/escrow service though

i totally agree, it should be $200 min, better would be $600.

2 years and 0 sales on sedo.
Is it work this platform?
And I've 2 domains with XXX offers views every month.
Numbers of views means nothing.

In my experience, Sedo offer views mean absolutely nothing. Also, you tend to get views for names that are about to expire, regardless of quality. Must be some bot activity involved because the aforementioned phenomenon is happening consistently.

I'm getting cynical. They're probably from SEO and website design spammers.

 

[biggie]

don't be concerned about "views"

only clicks, inquires, offers and sales, matter

imo....

 

[Asfas1000]

It could be Sedo's bot or employees cheking for expired domains, which need to be removed from an account.

From my experience: if you reg the domain recently and got many offer views it means the previous owner is checking on domain and biting his nails for letting it drop, if it's reged some time ago then someone is thinking about buying but not liking the price or don't wanna sedo registration (pain in..). Just but few good words and your email address in offer description and replace@ with (at).

only sales matter I'm afraid

 

[biggie]

only sales matter I'm afraid

depends on what matters to you

clicks on my ppc pages, matter, as clicks generate PPC income

inquires matter, as they provide "field interest" data

offers matter, as they illustrate dollar amounts that "field interested parties" are willing to offer


and of course, sales matter.


imo....

May or may not be related - but i noticed sedo pages now being indexed by google when i was searching some of my domains.

Bot filtering is very weak on Sedo including their Offer pages...

 

[DNGear]

When you post a domain in Reg of the day, There would be a chance checking our price.

From my experience, offer views on sedo bare no relation to the number of offers you will receive on a particular domain.
