I recently tried these guys out for parking unused domains. I had been using Tucows (and am once again using Tucows) but was unhappy with their reporting.

After several days with Sedo and racking up about $100.00 in commissions they informed me that I must be abusing the system somehow because their advertisers were not making enough money, therefore the commissioned were seized and account terminated.

I'm sorry, this sounds like the problem of the wizards who decided to put ads on a parked page, not mine.

I parked 20+ pages there and had 200+ unique views, but only 4 click throughs that total $.20.

So, my new thing... unpark all of the pages.... create forums to generate traffic. See where it goes from there...

Domain parking is not where the game is being played at the moment.

I had a long time ago a complain from sedo. They just wanted to know where the traffic comes from. I could explains that, they look into it again and everything was fine.

If you have much European and Asian traffic sedo is fine, for mainly us traffic there are plenty of other optioions (there were many other topics here in the last weeks discussing that. You will find them).

I would recommend contacting Sedo Customer Support to resolve the issue cooperatively. There are several similar cases as yours.

Probably wouldn't work since I already told them that they were hot garbage and i'd be sure to make that public.

I understand now. You could try using another Parking Company in that case: DomainSponsor, Skenzo, NameDrive, Parked. I would not say they are all perfect, but still worth trying.

Ok, when you would tell me such things I also wouldn't help you to sort the issue and wouldn't mind that much to loose you as client.
