Email from Sedo

[Togoodhlth]

Day 1 - Up like 300%
Day 2 - Up like 270%
Day 3 - Up like 150%

I knew there would be fluctuations. One of my best earners is earning next to nothing and some non earners are now earning.

Im happy my rev. is higher than before I just wish I could find the right keyword for for a domain which was earning better before the change.
I'll take the good with the bad in this case and hope the earnings stay where they are or better yet increase!

Theo, why haven't you moved your names out of SEDO with the problems you always have Not to say your threads are humerous.

Find me a guaranteed suitor and I shall flaunt my 700 domains at them faster than a New Jersey hooker drops her panties.

MIne, started improving, since my last post.

 

[domainah]

my CTR has improved slightly as well as the EPC, it hasnt almost doubled like for other people, some people will never be happy, but I am not gonna cry about improvements, I like the new choices of layouts, not sure what effect they are gonna have, but its good to have more choices

With 3 hours of stats ahead of us, revenue for Sunday is a pathetic 30% of "2x". Seems that the grand announcements have little substance.

not bad so far

From the 17th, I've had some nice improvement.

End of day results: x

In other words, back to the "good old" paltry earnings. My "impressed" face lasted only a day and a half.

As noted yesterday, today's earnings are on par - or even lower - than the earings prior to the fanfare announcement. I am definitely very disappointed. Not only Sedo earnings dropped to the old levels, also my top earners dropped, in favor of a bunch of low traffic domains. I am more geared to believe Sedo produced artificial clicks, hence revenue, across the board on all accounts. Dozens of domains of mine that don't get clicks, suddenly received clicks on the day of the announcement, temporarily raising the total revenue. At the same time my top earners' PPC was once again slashed by 50%+

although most of my ppc's are up and the average as well, payouts for adult names are def down as well as the ppc-floor which seems also to be lower, and I am still trying to figure out the consistency for many keywords, it would be interesting to know if Sedo is still making frequent adjustments or if this is the somewhat of the final draft so to speak

Find me a guaranteed suitor and I shall flaunt my 700 domains at them faster than a New Jersey hooker drops her panties.

So in other words they are better than anyone else you have found, but not good enough

Aside from Sedo I don't think there are a lot of other parking services out there that would send out emails telling their clients how great it is that their best performing names will be earning less.

Some of my observations so far:

Click-through ratio has increased.
More domains get clicks.
Revenue has subdued after a 48 hour rise.
Top-grossing domains' PPC dropped.

I didn't do any optimization past the Sedo email. All of my domains' keywords are optimized "by hand", therefore I am confident there is little that can be done to increase revenue. Unless Sedo reveals us some high paying keywords that we can use for relevant domains. Therefore, I can compare the "before" and "after" figures and see a modest increase (after the initial spike).

More revenue than before? Sure. But still, the revenue "cut" is low.

Mine works better.

 

[pelican]

with the new layout, CTR increases.

if there are more layouts to choose, it will be better

 

[Theo]

Is it my idea, or has Sedo changed the default template to the Light instead of the Classic?

 

[Theo]

Seems that the fanfare of the "great gains" is officially over.

The trend is one: down down down. PPC is painfully low.

Figures from yesterday and today bust the myth that optimization solves anything.

Yesterday and today I've had the same number of hits and clicks (actually, more clicks today so the clickthrough ratio is 1% better). But revenue is 30% down.

How come?

Simple. PPC is 30% down today.

So much for the advertised new feeds that'd multiply our revenue.

Get your act together, Sedo. I am already looking into other providers.

 

[Theo]

Completely disgusted.

Your changes dropped the PPC for my top domain from $0.30 to $0.08

Is that what you call progress?

Is this what you call going forward?

Where is the promised increase in revenue; other than the first 48 hours of your new "feed" it's been going down faster than a hooker's panties.

i am really ( !@#$%^& ) right now ( and sorry for the language) - sedo tried several times to "optimize " my +1000 names and my revenue went down the drain every time - so just last weekend i had to ask someone ( jay) to approve my keywords again and eveything worked fine ( other than my revenue is still 30 % down since the change. today a got an email that someone again is trying to optime my domain - KEEP YOUR !@#$%^ hands off my names if you don't know how to improve the account !!!!!

 

[Theo]

Shame about all the hype. It'd be interesting to find out how much $$$$ is Sedo making off our backs. Traffic is not free. WE are doing Sedo a favor, not the opposite.

I'm in talks with Fabulous etc.
