sedos parking pages are down???????

[PRED]

i wonder how often this happens?
their site is up, but the hosted parking pages are down. checked a load
anyone else affected?

 

[PRED]

it's still the same days later!
is anyone else finding this??? :?:
go to one of your sedo parked pages, is it coming up??? mine aren't

 

[katherine]

Fine for me.
Could give an URL as example ? Could be a DNS problem on your end maybe.

 

[typist]

some older threads describe the same issue in the uk. apparently some uk isps filter sedo parking pages.

 

[PRED]

here's a few examples:
www.1740.co.uk
www.sextoys.info
www.primp.co.uk

nothing coming up, but in the past have shown :?: been going on days now

if i check on a namedrive page, they come up fine. another reason to move away from sedo i think

They all work fine for me. DNS resolving takes one second or two.

Could be a DNS problem/weakness on your end.
Did you try traceroute on your domains ?

Didn't the take the time to click though
Oh and I forgot to mention I am on Colt (UK) network at the moment.

pred there always like that most of the time from the uk when i check
the pages 70% there down when i check from the uk. This means everyone
who is parked at sedo is losing uk clicks as uk users cant seem to get a the
pages to show 70% the time.

my connection ntl telewest aka virginmedia.

I cannot access some of my sites and I am in NY. My uniques dropped considerably today. This occured twice past week.

I hope sedo pays affected accounts for lost traffic and revenue. I know a few other companies do that for lost traffic.

I had this exact prob with a my ISP, I would contact them first.

My sedo pages are pulling up OK.

Pages are loading fine from BT Business Broadband. You should consider changing Providers. These Cheapo providers think they are doing people a favour by blocking out IPs that offer no real content.

I managed to get compensated from Telewest last year for their blocking of Parking Program IPs.

I told you Tesco should have remained with the supermarket business!

 

[namestrands]

Thats a bad word to me - I just lost a UDRP with them.

To me it looks like Sedo is blocking out many IPs for some reason now, I noticed that on domains that have for example adult or myspace topics, as those are the domains that get the most traffic from people trying to shield their ID or they are using some proxy. Traffic and revenue has dropped for those, I think I gotta move those to ND as well.

 

[namestrands]

Thats a tough call for any parking program, and I dont blame the programs I blame the scammers who abuse proxies.

Most Schools/Government Offices/Corporations, block access to non business related sites.. sites like myspace, ebay, games sites and of course adult sites.

The simple fact is that most will use some sort of proxy to by pass the filters, this is also true from people in Coutries like China.

I would assume that 30% of the proxy traffic is genuine, but it would be hard to figure out which were the 30%.

There is a solution however, you can filter the traffic yourself before sending to a parking program, its easy enough to detect proxied users. You could then just transfer them to somewhere else.

 

[Raider]

At Sedopro, Traffic and Rev on my Adult domains is very low, this must be why.

 

[domainah]

I understand the reasoning, but theres gotta be different way to get rid of their black sheep in their parking program, this is costing me money on myspace, adult, gambling traffic etc., if they would use a little more common sense like kicking out those guys that claim to have 1000s of hits on mobi pages that might be a good start and not something like that, thats just gonna have people move domains away

 

[NAK]

My revenue is at an all time low too and most of my domains are XXX, my uniques are 1/4 of what they normally are....I hope they fix this today and compensate us for the loss!
