RG, the keywords were "Children Books". If Sedo does not make use of the keywords, then it's pointless.

See keywords at the top right in light gray.

DreamBook: (keywords "Children books")
http://acroplex.com/stuff/dreambook.jpg

Sweet.org: (keywords "Sweet Chocolate")
http://acroplex.com/stuff/sweet.jpg

I see what you mean, it appears the domain is being targeted rather than the keywords you selected....another screwed up bug at Sedo.

Its been days that cant login at main login screen, I keep getting: "This page is accessible only to Sedo members" But when I use the blue shaded login to the right on that page, it works!

GRANNY PANTIES FILLED OUT

My, you are a Greek Adonis

Historically My Top Earner at Sedo...March totals through yesterday:

Views
3,187

Clicks
302


Click Rate
9.48%


$/click
$0.11

Revenue
$32.88


Clicks are affected by the CTR which tells me the ads appearing are not relevant to the keywords.

CLICK RATE HAS BEEN AVERAGING BETWEEN 45%-50%

REVENUE HAS BEEN AVERAGING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $150+ PER MONTH AND HAS BEEN STEADILY INCREASING SINCE NOVEMBER.

No matter how many times I have gone in and revised and restored keywords and tried to override the landing page, it keeps going back to the bullshit that is not getting the views. A generic adult landing page.

I have done this perhaps 8 times for the month of March. March has been a dismal month. Yet, "some things are out of my control" response keeps coming back to haunt me.

I know Doc. My clickthrough for the past and current months fell to single digits while traffic was steady. Do I need to mention how the PPC yo-yo'ed also?

It's despicable that I have to wait now till the weekend is over, for my keyword changes that include Sweet.org to be approved! Currently the parking page displays all sorts of porn links.

I have a Parked account already. I just need a freaking time slot to move 700 domains over.

Ditto to that...2982 at Sedo, a few hundred else here and there. Not bragging on the number of domains or the quality (or lack thereof) but I should not have to keep going back into my account and changing shit back to what I want it to be only to have it changed again. Not a damn page that I have designated as Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, or Spanish is coming up in any other language as a lander other than English.

Sure, got drop down boxes to select a language but what in the hell is the point of selecting a language, keyword opimization, and monitization if it is going to be ignored from the get go. If I want Japanese lander, I don't want English. If I want adult products I don't want adult incontinent diapers.

Sedo just doesn't get it.

Screw em all. They all suck. Dopa not answering emails for weeks now and none of my Chinese domains showing up in the control panel, NameDrive getting traffic and some hits paying $0.00, Parked pages rather generic looking, control panel okay but not getting the CTR, Moniker Traffic Club has never let me log into my account and as much as I do like Moniker as a registrar their support sucks for matters other than domains and have not responded to a single email regarding that issue for weeks now. And sedo? talk about beating a dead horse.

The time spend on moving, optimizing, selecting, keywords, tweaking and all the other BS just to be pissed off with the results in the end is not worth it.

Get my taxes done, tweak a few existing sites and THEN...take that time spent laboring on the above scenario and bullshit and develop my own template and create my own landers with feeds and links like CJ, Linkshare, Yahoo or AdSense.

The success or failure will rest squarely upon me but at least I will have control over my portfolio and will not have to listen to any more bullshit excuses from piss poorly trained staff that find it easier to lie and mislead rather than get a real answer and a correct answer the first time.

And then you all won't have to be subjected to my rants and raves on this same topic over and over. Simply fed up with this shit and the volumes of emails that I am collecting to show just how pathetic many of these services are.

Oh, is the internet closed on weekends? Per Sedo policy and procedure, it must be.

Where in the hell is that monkey photo?

It is a classic and it needs to be revived!

Bring back the PPC (Payment Pecking Chimp) photo and the dart board landers!

After careful research I came to the conclusion that Sedo operates full-staff on April 1st. Only this year it falls on a Sunday.

Tell us how you really feel Doc Com :)

I know what you mean. I had to move some 3000 domains from Sedon't. Not an easy task and it took a few months to get down to the nitty gritty and I had to take a hit on the lost revenue.

However I have more than made up for that now. The ROI was within 3 months at parked.

If people don't make the move, then SEDO will continue to play there silly games. They are fully aware the trouble it takes to move, in fact they are banking on this.

Why do you think they call it SEDO (monkey see monkey do), I for one opted to REDO, and I am content not a complaint to be had.. Sales are great and 1000% more sales this year alone than the entire 2 years at SEDO. I negotiated the share with Parked (got more than I asked for).

If the landers are not working, then you have to ask why some of my domains get 10 visits and 70 clicks (and I get paid for the multiple clicks)

My only complaint now is that I need more traffic names to park.

I trust parked to pay me my share (twice a month) and I have full autonomy on who I sell with. I even record every click through to my sales links.

Success is not a door, its a stairway. SEDO wont change its attitude unless you change it for them. The only way to do that is with your index finger.

You can build a house on a dodgy foundation, but sooner or later you are going to have to rebuild it. The longer you wait the more it costs. Don't fool yourselves into believing that sedo will change.

The domains are yours.. You will survive without SEDO, sedo will not survive without domainers. Never forget that it is you who pays there salaries.

I invested my resources on a whore and wonder why I am not being loved.

Google, Yahoo should contract with individual portfolio owners.

Enough of these parking page parasites.

Folks, this was the last straw.

As of 10 minutes ago, all of my Sedo portfolio was moved to Parked. It was a bit tricky at eNom as their tool for global edits is limited but at Parked the uploading was painless. I checked a few domains for keyword relevancy and I am impressed.

Now on to the profits!

I run same situation for freesamples co uk. It does not matter which keyord you try. I think it is related to G not SEDO. Best way is to move the domain somewhereelse.

Already did TurNIC. Only kept 2 domains at Sedo due to localization.

BTW congratulations on the soccer win. Best team won.

If it was related to Google, then the same issues would apply to programs like NameDrive, therefore it seems to be sedo-centric.

Theo, you have made a great decision with Parked.. be sure and talk to Donny :)

Other than a DNS redirect, what did you have to do? Bulk load domain names in Parked?

Why did you go with parked over Name Drive?

I wanted to try Parked as I opened an account a while back but didn't go through the actual process of moving out domains in bulk.

Yes, copy/pasted almost 700 domains and the update was instant.

Only glitch I found: the "for sale" message does not get updated live each time you change it; the workaround is to delete it and enter a new one.

It should update as soon as someone visits the page.

I did reload the page but the caching of it was remote.
