Sedo doing poorly lately, or is it just me?

**randomo** · 08-06-2008, 02:53 PM

So far this month, my domains parked at sedo have 300+ views and a total of $.28 (yes, twenty-eight cents) in revenue. This produces an RPM of less than $1.

That's a small dataset, but it reflects a downward trend that's been going on for months now.

Everybody else having the same problem?

(Would it be much different if I went into SedoPro?)

Last month has been awful and I am on Sedopro. Revenue has shrinked by a half.

**biggedon** · 08-06-2008, 04:18 PM

even for SedoPro, last month was pretty much the same as the month before...which was "decent" considering ppc revenue is down everywhere on average.

i've gotten some $3 and $4 clicks on a few names so far this month, so that looks promising

It seems like EVERY month starts off slow as advertisers readjust what they want to spend. Traffic and clicks have been consistent but revenue is lower.

**randomo** · 08-06-2008, 04:28 PM

I agree that there's an overall downward trend. However, here's a comparison of my parking stats in the past 30 days:

sedo
1,757 views, $9.22 revenue (RPM = $5.25)

PARKED
1,321 views, $23.96 revenue (RPM = $18+)

I know everyone's mileage varies ... just seems like sedo is doing even worse than usual when compared to other options.

Sadly, for me it is the opposite. Parked brings in a lot less revenue for me than sedo.

For me Fabulous performs better than sedo. My sedo average PPC is .04 cents, Fabulous is .20. My best click was $17 for a poker term.

**ksinclair** · 08-06-2008, 08:03 PM

PPC rates are pressured in general. I dont think its unique to sedo.

sedo just sold a domain for me. For that I am very grateful. No sales
anywhere else, so I am sticking with Sedo. They have sold a number of
domains for me this year.

For parking revenue >> parked.com
To sales your domains >> sedo.com
Or you can use parked.com to monetize your domain traffic and used the "this domain is for sale" to redirect to sedo broker pages. In general , sedo ppc is equal to namedrive , around 0.03$ per click for me.

It's all about the source of traffic. Asian traffic is cheaper than European or American traffic.

Depends on the domains..... My Adult domains don't perform well at Parked, but the non-adult domains do, I'm earning more than double at Parked than at SedoPro... July was my best month at Parked all year, Honest.

Good point.

Still no such luck. sedo is still horrible for me these last couple of months. I'm wondering if I've been affected by the new "Auto Layout Rotation tool improving CTR at 11% on average"?

But, Parked is way off as well compared to pre-Summer months.
