    Exclamation Sedo removes Obama & McCain domains from its marketplace

    In yet another hasty move, sedo has inexplicably begun to remove political domains from its marketplace. It is uncertain how far the pattern searcher reaches, however Carolyn from the support department mentioned that their legal department decided to remove domains that contain the name of the US political candidates, Obama and McCain.

    Yep - they just blacklisted these 3 .com's from my account:

    McCainJokes
    ObamaJokes
    McCainRules

    So I threw the first two on eBay ....

    I take great offense at this move by sedo, especially as it's a blatant attempt to control the domain market outside of any truly objectionable material. sedo did not offer an explanation when I said that these domains pulled valid ads related to politics from their Google feed.

    Best American inflatable manufacturer in the USA. Domainers.. if you need extra money working a weekend job contact me for info on becoming a inflatable rental operator. Dominate your local inflatable rental and party renal market with your online business skills. It is a fact, if I can you can too. Average small rental operators $3g's-8g's a month.. medium operators $20g's-50g's a month .. and the big boys make over a 100g's a month. Neither group has your online business savvy.

    Take the words out of my mouth!!!

    I just finished removing all my domains from sedo, wasnt a big deal for me there parking program really sucks and they pay low, so I never use. Most of the doamins are parked with Parked.com and or developed PPC site.

    I just listed them with sedo for "sale exposure"

    so no love lost I am sure for both parties!!

    Beaware Sedo there will be a point in your future where you wish you didnt make dumb decisions especially agaist me.

    Luckily, I let it drop a while ago.

    sedo is the "KING" of Parking and they can do whatever they want.... So they think.

    All of us made sedo what it is today, we can knock them down to size right now by doing one simple thing.... Pulling our domains!

    If you voted for our current President in 2008 to prove you weren't a racist,
    please vote for someone else in 2012 to prove you're not an idiot. Thank you

    they know we need to sell domains, but i havent sold many for a while.



    anyone interested in boycotting sedo? they really need to wake up. i have had more negative experiences with sedo than positive.

    BEATHILLARYNOW.COM is still on sedo. what the F!? are they only selecting names to their desire?

    This is not a big surprise to me. Technically these are tm domains (famous names) and they can be legally taken away. Although this is a very sudden random decision.

    I would rather not take my domains off the biggest domain marketplace, unless you have a better choice. There other sites such as Afternic. However, Afternic already banned Gambling domains, adult, and many others.
