Hi Shaun and thank you for taking an interest. I've now had a response which said...
Thank you for contacting us. I'm sorry to hear that you've been having problems with your parked domains.
I've taken a look at xxxxxxxxxx and able to see a standard Sedo parking page (see attached screenshot). The parking page includes information about the domain being for sale.
If you are still having trouble with any of your parked domains, please let us know. It would be extremely helpful for you to include screenshots to document any issues or problems.
If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards,
The screenshot mentioned wasn't attached but I'm not surprised by the answer I got given the post I made first thing this morning... although they presumably didn't notice that it was the wrong template being displayed and apparently have no idea that different pages were showing yesterday (and maybe for some time before that for all I know). Whether people have/are losing out on clicks/revenue I haven't a clue and it seems noone else has either.
I'm still keen to hear if anyone is making parking actually work for them with anything but the most obvious type in domains. I just can't see how you can earn anything near a worthwhile amount for the time investment needed. It's certainly beaten me as all I seem to achieve from it is a load of invisible and thus less valuable domains.
I'm not trying to criticise Sedo particularly - my question applies to parking generally. I'm quite prepared to be told I'm a numpty as I can't see companies like Sedo investing all the time and effort in parking that they do if it doesn't pay at least some people generously.
