Sedo or Afternic for PPC

Ross1982 · Oct 24, 2004

Which is the best to park your domain at do you think?

GodBlessYou · Oct 24, 2004

I'm not much into that stuff, but my guess would be sedo.

Ross1982 · Oct 25, 2004

Anyone else?

Both are good for trying to sell your DNs not for PPC
For PPC try domainhop, domainsponsor or Fabulous

First of all, there is a sub-forum for this at DNF:

Under the Gold Forum: Search Engines and Traffic Building, then go to the PPC subforum.

Second, I review most of the PPC services on my website:

Domainhop..... never tried them, do they allow u to customize the keywords yourself like sedo?

Domainsponsor.... they're only good if you qualify for their "google feed (premeier)" otherwise I've found they couldn't compare to sedo.

Fabulous.... they may be good, but I'ver never been able to try them because of their minium amount of traffic domains you need to get in.

So, I stay @ Sedo.

I think fabulous wants a certain amount of domains , not a certain amount of traffic, right?

I was going to setup my account in August but was delayed.
Will probably do it soon.

OK, since this discussion did not move over to where it belongs, I will respond here.

You can select your own keywords at DomainHop, just like at Sedo. DH offers lots of customization options. As of now, they have no minimum for domains or traffic, but I am not sure how long that will last. DH and Sedo were both at TRAFFIC 2004.

Fabulous used to want 50 domains, but now they are looking for 100 for entry. They will be coming out with a higher tier program (Professional grade). Not sure what the entry requirement will be, just yet. I got this from Dan Warner, COO, at TRAFFIC.

In order to get higher return from DomainSponsor, you need to be in the Premier program, which has a 1000 uniques/day entry requirement. If you have the 1000 u/d, then, for most domains, you will get the best return at DS.

Sedo offers foreign language links and pages, which works real well for some names, but they are a bit thin on advertisers for some of these keywords in different languages. I expect that situation to improve over time.

Thanks hiOsilver! :-D

Here's what I think.

Sedo - Great for some keywords (maximum i get is $10/click for a single domain, just wish I had more traffic to it), seems to work really well for European traffic.

Afternic - Great for selling domains, lousy for PPC.

DH - Great for domains with high traffic but low CTR (works really good for my adult domains)

Fabulous - haven't tried yet so I'll probably try it next month.

DS - Simply the best ...DS rules

PPCincome.com - Excellent and very useful information available there, hope they get to evaluate more PPC programs.

cyphix · Oct 27, 2004

At this point, HitFarm is by invitation only, or so it seems. If you go to their website, there is "Coming soon!". I will probably test HitFarm next, if they send me an invitation. I met the president of HitFarm at TRAFFIC 2004, but I cannot seem to find his card.

And, I will make this point again, this thread actually belongs in the PPC Subforum, under the Search Engines and Traffic Building Forum. There are many posts over there discussing the various PPC providers.

I hope that you stopped the Smartname.com booth and had the opportunity to spend time with Ari Goldberger and myself. Smartname is the premier ppc solution. While in the past we had been by invitation only, I am open to review the portfolio of any Dnforum member. Our goal as major domain owners has always been to treat your domains as we would treat our own. Owning and managing domains such as marketing.com, woman.com, tshirt.com, ticket.com, soda.com, md.com, medicine.com, flying.com, boating.com, children.com, and many others, has given us the opportunity to build and invest in excellent technology, along with being able to offer things no other services are able to.

Some members of this forum along with other domainers have had wonderful results with us.

i would love to speak with any member to see if we can work out a custom solution for you

regards
