How Much Lower Will It Go, Sedo?

[Fearless]

my theory is that, those who paid for the advertisements have reached their budgets for the number of clicks at the high rate, thus they either quit the program or choose lower cost keywords.

just a thought!

It's way too much a drop. It would have to be a conspiracy among the top 10 bidders to drop that much. They would all have to agree to drop their bids from $1.50 to $0.12 at the same time.

i think by now it is obvious that talking failed. no higher revenue - no traffic. all of my domains are already parked elsewhere. i would advice everyone to do the same. it's time to show that domainer community can do more than just complain

please tell me the best way to get refund. where can i park ?

Temperatures dropped across Florida yesterday; that's nothing compared to the PPC drop at Sedo. Congrats guys, the weather guy was right about a freeze.

What sort of a refund do you want. If your not happy with the money you got, you could forward it to me.

Moving names elsewhere , I have had enough.

Also waiting for D from Sedo to provide me with a reseller.com usernumber so I can transfer a "sold" name and get paid, only one week and three emails now - probably need another week or two and 10/12 more emails!

Thanks Wolfis. I would smile, but today (yesterday) was my lowest day with Sedo in the entire 3 years. In fact, I made half as much money today with 1 domain at NameDrive as with 650+ domains parked at Sedo. Not because of lack of traffic or clicks, but because Sedo's PPC rates are the worst in the industry.

This will be a busy weekend for me, moving all my names to NameDrive.

After a bit of a recovery - my revenue is well down last few days also. Strange (!) because my parked names elswhere have performed as usual.

like I said on the other thread..I dont think its strange, because they keep paying people that have .mobi domains parked that get more than 6000 hits a week
http://www.sedo.com/auction/auction_detail.php?language=us&auction_id=5039&tracked=&partnerid=

so they are basically taking our money and giving it to people that were frustrated with their .mobis...

Who types espia.mobi? Are you kidding? This is definitely a bogus, redirected traffic sale.

I don't know what stinks more, the Sedo PPC or the silence over the dead corpses of unprofessional business.

 

[domainah]

Exactly..they are taking OUR money..

 

[wolfis.com]

i will move my last 300 and some names tomorrow if it does change .

Well, my Sedo results this month were quite reasonable, while DS dropped tremendously.

You mean you don't type espia.mobi every day at least - somebody does - 6000+ per month - very acceptable figures for a spanish? name in a new extension.

Nearly all my .mobi get at least 10,000 type in's per month. :smilewinkgrin:

Come on Sedo - get to grips with this business- you are going downhill rapidly.

 

[evibe]

I am going pretty good at sedoPRO...
sure, the program has its good and bad days but come 'on guys...
we are in the domain ppc business... how can we ever talk about a stable
income?

I never had a problem with contacting my account manager (or getting a reply)

 

[Terminator]

I have had many problems with Sedo, optimization settings changing, account manager not replying to support tickets, teen domains suspended, the list goes on. HOWEVER, I have tried most PPC providers, and Sedopro has the highest net earnings for my domains out of all of them, this may not be the case for your domains, but it is for mine, regardless if they pay for 1 click, I'm earning almost double that of Traffic Club, Namedrive and Fabulous, this is no exaggeration.

I'm not saying that Namedrive or Traffic club pays less for every domain, Namedrive does pay less for Adult domains, Sedopro pays better, Traffic club also pays well for Adult using Skenzo, but not as good as Sedopro. You need to move your domains around and find which providers work best for your domains.

The funniest part of this thread is the number of whiners complaining about SEDOPRO for months now and still using them because they do not find better elsewhere. Go figure.

 

[namestrands]

Its more down to the time they invested into optimizing their domains, and most do not wish to go through all that again. Everyone has a right to gripe, SEDO is a great concept and if ran well would wipe out the competition, we all know that and hence the reason for demanding change.. you may see it as whining, others do not share that opinion.. all attempts at complaining are meant to be constructive.

SEDO never do explain these issues.

Evibe I disagree on the PPC Issue.. Consistantly I make +/- 10% each day on Adsense. All my domains at parked.com are on a v.high percentage share and the PPC remains REAL and also consistant. The only Rollercoaster revenue is SEDOs as the PPC is not REAL.. and the rumours of SEDO cross subsidising its junk .mobi revenue with is somewhat alarming and needs to be addressed.

I park 1 domain with SEDOPRO, I got out a long time ago, every now and then I throw them a bone, each time they confirm my contempt
