Register your domain name

Recently started receiving plenty of hits and some CTR on domain with fairly specific subject name and appeal. I had chosen the keyword. Now, however, the ads showing on the first page are totally unrelated to the keyword and of no interest to anyone who has browsed or found the domain via a search engine. I contacted Sedo and this was the reply.

"We are able to apply a keyword to the domain which acts as a suggestion to our advertising partner. However, our advertising partner is able to override this suggestion if they feel that users are searching for another term/subject. It seems that they have done so with regards to xxxxxxxxx.com. Unfortunately, there is nothing Sedo can do in such a case."

Anyone else had a similar experience or reply from Sedo?
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Guy

Yes and what they have told you is correct.

If you park the name over at namedrive you'll get the same unrelated adverts and they both use the same provider.
