    Not for me - I've now moved more than half of my revenue to better performing parking services, most notably Streamic.

    Must be an all time low for us today - a few mega clicks which makes the front page overview look great but when you trawl thro' the rest of the clicks it's very very poor including loads of tiny clicks for key words that should earn far more.

    Why is this happening? :confused: There has to be a reason.

    It would be nice to get an explanation from the Sedo reps, however don't hold your breath. I have spent loads of time to optimise all my domains, making sure they are relevant but it just seems to be going down consistently. Relatively I am doing no better than before the August changes and as mentioned above only because I'm getting the odd high value click on low traffic names.

    I had 2 domains make decent money and everything else was about 0.03 euro per click! Now the 2 making money have dropped.
    I reckon the high paying ads that were showing have either gone or dropped down? to be honest i haven't had the time to review it.

    I would echo the sentiments above. I have spent many many hours optimising each domain name parked on Sedo. However, our earnings have plummeted over the last few weeks.

    A tough question without knowing all the details, but would you say that the increased likelihood of selling second-tier .eu domain names if they are parked with Sedo outweighs any increase in earnings from parking with other providers?

    All I can say is, the recent good performance from Sedo that was on decline on Adult domains now appears to be over...

    From personal knowledge and contact with some of the biggest players in the adult biz, all I can add is this:

    Advertiser CPC is much higher than any parking payout EPC ratio wise...

    The money is going somewhere BUT -

    It's not going to domainers...

    Time to reconsider.

    With the contacts I have in Adult, I could do a better job myself...

    Azam

    Think it's all relative to the maths...

    With 5mil. names in sedo, if you only have 100 or so names, the odds are stacked against you...
    Severly stacked if you do not have any Top domains OR you are not using advertising...

    TBH - The only things supporting Sedo right now are:

    1) Money made from domainers who park.
    2) Money made from domainers using advertising.

    Prior to the release of auctions:

    3) Money made from limited sales .

    IMHO - It's only that fact that they have introduced auctions, with the ability to submit without bids that make it worth the while as the ratio of 'for sale' to actual sales is small...

    Let's face it, your free to just list your names on Sedo anyhow and park where ever...

    What is now missing IMO - is added value for all - esp. SedoPro members...

    With SedoPro page layouts available now to all, their is little to no incentive to stay...
    Esp. when none SedoPro are getting priority over us when they wish to submit to auctions...

    Personally been waiting over a week now for a reply from brokers...

    I'm looking forward to the eventual reply though...
    Should prove very interesting with the quality generics and KW rich names submitted...
    Esp. when I consider some of the crappy names currently in auction...

    All in all - IMO - appauling!!! Things decidedly downhill...

    Just a case of 'better the devil you know' for now...
    BUT - not for long...lol
