Where Professionals Park on the Web: Sedo Launches New Parking Service for Large Domain Portfolio Holders

Sedo, the leading online marketplace for the buying and selling of domain names, has today announced a new elite parking program, SedoPro. SedoPro – the first offering of its kind – provides parking professionals with improved statistical analysis tools, greater control over site optimization and page layout along with personalized attention from a dedicated account service representative. SedoPro’s technology and service expertise offerings combine to maximize the return on domain portfolios.

SedoPro empowers domain holders to manage their portfolio similar to a set of investment assets, including the ability to view high and low performing domains, the geographic origin of their traffic as well as which sites are referring traffic. Parking professionals can then use that information to optimize their Web sites by better targeting the advertisements displayed on the page.

“Offerings such as SedoPro show the necessary maturation occurring in the parking market – to optimize revenues, professionals must often go beyond bland text-ad pages,” said Matt Bentley, chief strategy officer of Sedo. “With portfolios in the hundreds and thousands of names, advanced tools are necessary for sophisticated parking management.”

Additionally, SedoPro bundles the exclusive Page Elements™ feature, which allows personalized content to be added to the site such as images, search fields, and custom links, while choosing from five unique page layouts. This content gives parked pages the look and feel of a typical Web site and significantly improves conversion of traffic.

Some sample SedoPro parking pages can be found at Wiki-Software.com, DanceRadio.eu, Uni24.com, and LondonGuide.eu.

SedoPro customers will also receive a personal account manager, whom they can contact with any questions on their portfolio. SedoPro Account Managers are dedicated to developing custom solutions for meeting the needs of professional domain investors.
