    sedo freezing stats again.. surprised??

    Again their stats begin to freeze.
    And my today's revenue is %40 less comparing to yesterday.
    We got a post from SEDO saying all clicks during freezing period will be added. But every freezing day my revenue is going down.
    When it back to normal my revenue go up.
    That makes me think

    for me revenue is good, but sedo just gives errors for any parked domain at the moment.

    Yep hasn't been updated for about 4-5 hours now.
    Every freeze results in revenue down no matter what sedo say. I am at 60% normal daily revenue. Last few times they froze and 'added them on' I ended up with 75% of daily revenue on average.
    What was the downtime for when they were supposedly upgrading servers?

    If they're not issuing search results, its not a case of just a stats freeze - theres real money being lost. time to flip to plan b until they sort it out.
    When using google for counts - use double quotes for usage counts for multiword terms and set "match type" to "exact" for all search volume lookups. Click here for more info

    There's my views for last 5 days
    Quite noticeable.
    They ARE issuing search results - I wonder if the companies providing the ads are being charged everytime someone clicks.

    I'm really beginning to think this is deliberate. Sedo do this WAY too often and if you consider the amount of money we all lose (that sedo keep if they are getting paid at other end) during these 'freezes' - they are onto a real wage booster.
    I emailed, no response. I would be very interested to hear what sedo have to say on the matter because this is unacceptable. Some people make a living like this - I wonder how the sedo team would feel if they had to work for nothing.

    Well I have sent a PM to Sedo here asking that he come out publicly and tell us all what the problems are and how they will be resolved - with no bull.
    Emails are ignored - this is the only way.

    However landing page seems to be working from here (which makes it even worse). Try out http://www.miserysignals.com and tell me if you get a landing - it does here.

    I would like a response from Sedo myself, since Matt (not admin Matty) is a member here. I know there's a ship to run over there, but how about letting the passengers know what's happening? How about it, Matt, what's going on?

    That's what is galling. All my domains seem to be working fine so I can imagine the advertisers being billed for each click and the money 'disappearing' into the void that is sedo's frozen zone. I think now at the very least Sedo should be matching our stats from the 2nd with those of the 1st if they wish to keep a positive reputation.

    You think they're even aware of the problem?

    Nothing on their website.
    No response to emails.
    No response to PM.
    No explanation on any domain forums.

    8 hours passed
    still no revenue
    Last month probably a toltal of %3-5 of our revenue went to trash because of their database problems.
    It seems this month it will be much higher.

    Same thing is happening for me - when you click on an advertiser link you get the message -

    Error

    There were errors processing your request:

    The domain could not be found

    Please correct your input Back...


    So Sedo is recording views, but no revenue is being earned because no advertisers are getting traffic! I sure hope Sedo pays out on their error!

    The question in this case is - will Sedo compensate us fully for lost revenue? DomainSponsor does!
