Perhaps I have the wrong kind of domains.. and what with all the major problems they have been having as of late just makes me wanna stay away until they can sort out the technical issues.. of course they are great at saying sorry.. ;-)

I am not sure how long your testing for the domains you moved over to DS is, but as stated by howard above the key to better results at DS is the auto optimization, which takes between 2-10 days depending on traffic for each domain. (It always helps to jump start the optimization by making a few targetted searches on each domain, just make sure u don't click the results)

DS does allow you to optimize domains with keyword exclusions.

It all depends on your portfolio. I have some names that jumped 120% by moving to DS. A few casino and adult domains that jumped 75% by moving to fab. Sedo habitually performs better on non us traffic, Fab on casino and adult domains, and DS on others. But this is based on my portfolio results, each person could have different results.

dont use the ref detect, you need to put it in the url, so that will not happen

I think looking at one domain isn't a big enough sample size. I've been really happy with TrafficClub, because they split test your domains across Google, DS, and SBX (if you have adult traffic). You can see my review of TrafficClub here:

i agree w/namestrands also.......they are good for explaining fluxuations in revenue.

you never know if others are having tech issues!

I've heard that domains forwarded to DS (or anywhere) are not ranking by Google. I have about 100 domains at DS. The question is, if I remove the forwarding from one of those domains and build a site for it, will the PR recover or will it be permanently zero? I'm just wondering if anyone has an experience with this. Thanks.
