Sedo parked page with your own sales channel — Customize a

Sedo lets some clients send sales leads to different channels than Sedo’s marketplace.

An alert reader came across a parked page using Sedo that caught his attention.

Rather than Sedo’s standard message “The domain example.com may be for sale by its owner!” with a link to the listing on Sedo, the message looked like this:

Essentially, the owner of the domain is using Sedo parking but collecting sales leads itself.

I reached out to Sedo, which confirmed that this is an option on a case-by-case basis. The firm doesn’t recommend it since it results in a lot of unqualified sales leads. (And of course, it bypasses Sedo’s sales system, too.)

Another thing I noticed regarding Sedo’s parked pages lately is that the “for sale” signs are getting more prominent. Clients have been asking for bigger sales messages for a while.

Here’s an example with the “for sale” message at the top.
