    Sedo - Stop showing Adult ads on generica names

    I'm hoping a sedo employee will actually read this and by chance respond.

    sedo has started showing adult ads on generic domains, based on the words or letters in a domain.

    I have several with the letters ass ( as in pass, grass, etc.. ) and Sedo completely ignores the the keyword optimization and category selection.

    SEDO has also ignored all my request to stop showing PORN on my websites. WTF SEDO ?? When will you start a trouble ticket system so these type of issues can be tracked ??

    I moved 99% of my domains out. Problem solved.

    Re: Sedo - Stop showing Adult ads on generica names

    interestingly, sedo has canceled some of mine cause they contained adult information in the domain. like Arcoplex, I moved mine too and my problems were solved. now making more at parked.com than sedo.

    Re: Sedo - Stop showing Adult ads on generica names

    Hi guys.

    There seems to be an issue going on lately as our ad provider has blocked certain generic domain names from being optimized correctly (I’ve seen it with a few other domains as well). Just like a lot of you have noted in this thread and another thread http://www.dnforum.com/showthread.php?t=217757, it seems that our advertising provider has picked up various adult related terms in domains or terms that could potentially be construed as alluding to adult terms and subsequently categorized the domains as adult.

    We are well aware of this issue and are working at resolving this in the quickest fashion. If you feel that one of your domains is miscategorized or the ads are not resolving as they should, please send me a PM and I’ll take a look and make sure our technical team is aware of it.

    Thanks,

    Monica

    Re: Sedo - Stop showing Adult ads on generica names

    Monica I pulled my entire portfolio from sedo because when I have sweet.org displaying a bunch of raunchy sex ads I am losing value on the true aspect of the domain; I am not a porno-squatter and I don't need to keep checking my generic keyword domains to see whether sedo is displaying relevant ads or just porn.
