I have a domain which is getting around 500 hits per day - 98% of which is from China. Parked at Sedo it is only showing about 15 views and no clicks per day. What can I do to better monetize this traffic?

Everyone has their rules for eliminating spurious traffic. You can try it on another PPC service, but Sedo is the only one that I know of who is really doing something for Chinese traffic at this time. In general, Asian traffic converts terribly because they do not even read our character set. What is really needed is for someone like Sedo to team with the Chinese equivalent of Google.

sedo says they do but they really don't.. you get zilch, nada, nothing.. for chinese traffic, they do not count and pay for it from my personal experience and many others who i have spoken to as well...

best thing is to setup a "mini" web site with google adsense on it.. that is probably the one and only way to at least make something.. google supports chinese, japanese, korean.. and another dozen languages or so last time i checked'
 
Thank you for the replies, guys.

I'm a bit confused...
Any mini-site which I would setup would of course be in English. Chinese would not be able to read this correct? Are you saying the AdSense would be in Chinese? They might click on something?

And isn't Sedo aligned with Google? So wouldn't they presumedly be showing these ads now?

Thanks for the input.
 
I have a Vietnamese name doing the usual 3 cents per click thing without a problem and a friend has some chinese and korean ones. The key is the keyword, go babelfish what the heck your domain means or what it used to be and put that in for the keyword :ok:

Also check the DNS stats (don't use sedo nameservers) and make sure the traffic IS traffic and not image pulls. I have names getting 20-40 "views" a day, all image pulls.

You won't get more than 3 cents per click but hey at least they pay.
 
how do you know your domain has much filtered traffic
when it is parked at sedo?
they don't offer any filtered stat. do they?

you know when you host the domain on your own server.. and afterwords compare your own stats to sedo's.
 
China has so much megawatts of hardworking 24/7 human click manpower that if you were to draw one sq cm on a map of China one sq meter in size as an area that generates human click potential, Yun Yee's $164m network value to Marchex would have made double that amount in PPC revenue in just one day.

I parked it for a few days at a different ppc service which does show where the traffic is coming from. Moved it back to Sedo as they're the only ones who supposedly are paying for Asian traffic.

Don't know about image pulls and such though. I do have a resellers hosting account which I use for various websites. Can I somehow point this domain er, umm, "somewhere" to find out exactly where it's coming from. And how do I do this?

Thanks!

LOL! That is the funniest thing I've read in a long time.
 
Do you guys find the same for Taiwan traffic? If not, anyone know a good place to park .com.tw domains

(Mandarin and Taiwanese)
 
well, chinese is the worst.. traffic from korea, japan and taiwan is a little better but still not all that great and banned in most places (ppc/affiliates)
 
taiwon is bad never knew that LOL
