Was concerned that views on a few of my Sedo parked pages just seemed to evaporate recently so thought I'd spend an hour looking at them to see if I could do anything to improve things.
I noticed one of my sedo parked pages looked nothing like expected. On checking a few more of the 400ish domains I have parked there it seems the handful of adult domains are not using the parking template I selected, there's no mention of Sedo on the page, the keyword isn't in the source code and there's no mention of the domain being available to buy. This came as a surprise and possibly explains why traffic/clicks has fallen off lately. I even had to go and check I hadn't sold the affected domains to someone else and then even went back to my registrar account to make sure the domain was still in my account there!
Have I missed some news about Sedo parking and adult sites maybe?
To be safe I'm pointing the nameservers elsewhere as these aren't the pages I parked and I guess I'm getting no credit for any clicks on these strange pages.
Without wanting to sound too negative it seems things have gone weird lately. Almost every new domain/website I add to Sedo thesedays spends days/weeks in a verification queue and never gets checked until I find a reason to query it with CS and now it looks like I need to check over 400 domains to be sure it's my parked page showing up! On top of this, what few clicks I get are rarely worth more than 2c which seems a remarkably low share of revenue. All in all I'm starting to feel very uncomfortable with things. I can't put my finger on anything but I sense something is horribly wrong at the moment but I'm not sure what it is.
Am I alone in this experience?
