Minimum requirement to apply increases to 1,000 domains or $300 monthly revenue.
Domain parking provider Sedo has increased its minimum requirements to apply for SedoPro, its advanced parking program. The new requirement is 1,000 domains or $300 in monthly parking revenue. Meeting these minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance into the program; Sedo also considers the quality of your domains and traffic.
I’m not sure when this change happened, but I noticed it when sending an invite today. The prior minimum was $200/month in revenue or 200 domains.
In addition to earning more money, SedoPro has offered other fringe benefits over the past couple years. The SedoPro Partner Forum is perhaps the most enjoyable conference I’ve ever attended.
You can review Sedo and SedoPro on ParkingJudge, which launched yesterday. ParkingJudge allows you to rate and review parking companies based on earnings, reports/analytics, customization, user interface, and customer support. There are currently 16 parking companies available for review on ParkingJudge, and I may add parking alternatives such as WhyPark and EVOlanding in the future.
If you qualify for SedoPro and would like an invite, please send an e-mail to invite [at] parkingjudge.com.

Sounds like a good idea make it harder for people to get into the program, esp during these times.
Last time I looked you could get into google ppc with only 1 name.
Good luck to them but that is just throwing away money.

“I may add parking alternatives such as WhyPark and EvoLanding in the future.”
What about Parking aggregators like iMonetize?
Johnny says
It just seems like silly Sedo publicity stunt within the Parking industry for noobie suckers.
Everyone knows their payouts are horrible.
James Jean says
Agree with Johnny. There are much better opportunities out there without the stringent requirements of Sedo for parking.

Johnny, are you the guy Poe sings about in her popular 90’s hit song “Angry Johnny”? 😉
I can guarantee you that most Sedo partners are not “noobie suckers”. I like the phrase, but I think it works better within comments about GoDaddy services.

… and the winner of the “Shooting yourself on the foot’award is…. SEDO.
They seem to think it is still circa ’05.
At a time when those (everyone ?) with large portfolios of quality traffic names are scrambling to get the AWAY from parking and into affiliate etc., SEDO comes up with this jaw dropper.
Do they seriously think they have that much pulling power that they don’t have to BEG to get quality portfolios ?
Another SEDO gem straight out of FantasyLand.
Andrew Allemann says
@ Lda – I don’t understand what you’re saying. If you want to be in SedoPro, you need to earn $300 a month. That’s not much. If you have a good portfolio then you are earning $300 a month and you can use the system. If you earn less than $300 you use the standard system.
Stephen Douglas says
That’s the sad part, Double A.
On some portfolios I was regularly making over $1000 a month distributed across several PS’s, but they are now only making $200+ a month, a whopping 80% drop in revenue in less than a year. This isn’t an oddity for just one PS, but for them all. And, it’s not from a drop in CPC or uniques. !!!!!!

Exclusive clubs can be good. Sometimes its good to make something special, even if it is not.
