I was shocked yesterday when i received an email from sedo saying my domain was banned, a copy of the message:
We are writing to inform you that the domains listed below have been suspended from Sedo\'s services because this domain(s) is a potential violation of Sedo\'s policy against domains that include obscene or illegal subject matter. While Sedo strives to protect our users rights to exercise free speech and maintain a marketplace with a vibrant and diverse collection of domain names, we apologize any inconvenience that this may cause.

In the course of removing such domains from our system there is the possibility that otherwise legitimate domains were suspended due to their inclusion of terms used in different contexts. If you have any questions about this decision please contact your Sedo account manager or the Sedo legal department at legal - at - sedo.com.

Sincerely,

and the amazing thing is that this domain is the highest domain marking money on my portfolio per month at my sedo account :)

i emailed sedo and they said they will ask google and reply

any quick parking provider that can setup me an account quickly? i'm losing hundred of euros per day for this action
 
Put it at Parked, watch the revenue triple.
 
Move it to Parked.com!
 
i have moved it to parked along with other high traffic names, they are kinda performing lower than parked due i get paid on sedo in EUROS and on parked in USDs
 
Was the banned domain Adult related?

Any European domain (.co.uk, .de, .se) performs better @ sedo.

that doesnt really matter, they do the conversion, I had to switch from Sedo's US parking to European Parking when I incorporated outside the US and they adjust the income by the exchange rate, so the USD-EUR doesnt matter. I am sure not every domain performs the same, but why stick with a company that doesnt even give you a warning and doesnt compensate you for such actions?
 
I think you when you start adjusting some aspects of that domain name and it continues to auto-optimize at parked you will find yourself making alot more at parked with a much higher ctr% and thus higher earnings
 
no its not an adult domain and the keyword i was using was 'business'

i feel people would click more if the results show on the main page like it used to show on sedo

instead of two clicks before the ads show to the visitor

this could be the reason of the low income compared to sedo

is there a way to switch it?
 
Parked uses Yahoo feeds that determine whether the page is a single or double clicker. But double clicker pages have the advantage of customization: you can add your own content, images etc.
 
You guys recommend Parked for .co.uk domains?
 
no its not an adult domain and the keyword i was using was 'business'

I thought it might be, because Sedo banned many of my adult domains...

I moved all my domains out of Sedopro and into Parked, and I can honestly tell you that my revenue has nearly doubled, Most of my domains are business related, and about 20% are Adult.
 
Google has just banned a domain of mine, any idea how to get it "un-banned"?

Which companies do you guys recommend for .sg and .com.sg domains?

So generally Parked pays the best for you guys?
 
search registrar for .sg and you will it here, it was discuss long time ago.
 
I tried parked and the stats were way out of whack. Maybe good for some but sure sucked for me. Was not even close to the traffic I get
