Thread: sedo offer for LLL.in

Hi all,

I just got a sedo offer for $60 for an LLL.in with 2 premiums, 1 non-premium letter(w). After sedo's fees, i'll only get $10 at this point. Any suggestions on what i should do from here? i suspect its a reseller trying to get this one for cheap. I actually got this name off the available list of LLL.in. Appreciate the advice.

I think if you park your domain with Sedo, you dont have to pay the minimum commission fee!

Sedo: "No minimum fee if the domain is parked with Sedo; only the flat 10% rate applies."

so should i change nameservers to sedo? will that still work?

Also, the name is probably regged @ mitsu. i thought you can transfer the name for at least 6 months after regging?

In the same transaction in which I buy at Mitsu I instruct them to use sedoparking as nameserver (if you read their board carefully you will see the link to click). In other words, I immediately send the domain to park at Sedo. No 6 month wait.

The problem is that I get almost no clicks at all for the .in domains parked at Sedo. If there's a better place to park, I'd appreciate any suggestion.

If you are trying to sell domains through Sedo for less than $600, you should generally always park them at Sedo, otherwise the commission will kill you.

I'm not sure if changing the nameservers once you've received an offer will work.

Cool that you got an offer on the domain so soon after buying it

@newyorkdude - parking elsewhere isn't going to increase the amount of traffic you get - a domain either gets type in traffic or not. However, generally other parking companies pay better than Sedo for clickthroughs.

Thanks for the advice Jeff. i actually countered the offer last night with $900, but today, the person cancelled the bid

yes, i am pretty happy i got an offer on the name. it just shows how LLL.in are growth domains, for real. More action in the future for sure with these type of names.

That isn't my experience. As I wrote here a little while ago, I started parking on Google for Domains. Maybe half of the domains I now park on Google were formerly parked on Sedo. In the few weeks I've been doing this the results have been eye-opening.

I get many, many more hits on Google per name. By an order of magnitude. Small numbers, but larger small numbers.

The same domain gets more hits on Google than on Sedo.

The problem is I haven't gotten many clickthroughs on Google yet, while I have gotten many more on Sedo. My theory is that the landing page on Sedo is MUCH more attractive than the landing page on Google. The landing page on Google is drab and uninspired.

Maybe my Google landing pages will get better if I get larger numbers. I hope so. Maybe Google will install more attractive pages is this method [Google for Domains] becomes more popular and earns more $$$$ for them. I certainly hope so because even though I get far more hits on Google I get much [not far, just much] more $$$ on Sedo.

@newyorkdude - it could well just be bot traffic. Some parking providers are better at excluding this than others. I don't know much about Google for Domains though.

Oooops, the correct title is AdSense for Domains.....but you knew that.
