Hi,
I own a .it domain insurances related.

When I login in my google adwords campaign manager, I notice that the keyword bids which exactly matches my domain name targeted to Italians is up to $0.60.

Also, the keyword I set up with Sedo should pay up to $1.14.

Why every click (and I got a lot of clicks) pays me only €0.03???
Ok, I won't get $0.60-1.14 but I was expecting at least €0.15-.20
I've noticed that with almost all of my Italian/French/Arabic names.

Where are the moneys going?
 
it is not calculated that way.. adsense rotate their ads. So, you wont always get the high advertiser.
Some of a time within a month, you will see your click goes higher that normally
 
ok, I can understand that. But the domain is regged by almost a month now and I never got a click higher than €0.03
 
I have a domain that gets very targeted Brazilian traffic parked on Sedo and I've noticed the same thing. Every click is 3 cents. I'll be moving that one off Sedo very soon. I wonder if its just Sedo's standard operating procedure to screw you on international domains?
 
Same thing here.Seems no matter how targeted my foreign traffic is (even English speaking Indian traffic),I only get a paltry 0.02 Cents a click. With the US/EURO exchange rate,€0.03 per click actually looks GOOD to me :huh:
Ouch. Come on Sedo.
 
Let's say you have natural type-in traffic for a domain, would Adsense be a better solution as you're cutting off the middleman (in this case, Sedo) ?
 
I think so.
Now I'm going to try domainsponsor..
I'm going to develop the domain anyway, but I just don't have time/money right now.
