SedoPro Voted Best New Parking Program at TRAFFIC East

November 17, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Cambridge, Mass., November 17, 2006 – Sedo (http://www.sedo.com), the leading online marketplace for the buying and selling of domain names, today announced that its professional parking program, SedoPro (http://www.sedopro.com), was voted Best New Parking Program by over 1,200 professional domainers at the TRAFFIC East domain conference last month.

SedoPro was elected from an increasingly crowded field of domain parking programs—over a dozen have been launched in the past year. According to Matt Bentley, chief strategy officer for Sedo, the new service differs from existing offerings by focusing exclusively on professional domain portfolio holders with high quality traffic.

“Domain professionals are looking for a more sophisticated set of features than that offered by other parking programs,” said Bentley. “SedoPro responds to that need by giving users advanced analysis tools to determine exactly what visitors are doing on their parking pages to maximize revenue.”

SedoPro, which launched just last year at the TRAFFIC conference in Delray Beach, Florida in October 2005, has experienced over 500 percent growth since the beginning of 2006. The award was presented to Sedo executives at the TRAFFIC awards ceremony on October 26 in Hollywood, Florida.

About SedoPro
Over a year in research and development, the SedoPro parking program was designed as an exclusive service for professional domainers with the highest quality domain names. It is the first parking program to offer powerful analysis tools giving domain owners the ability to see exactly where their traffic is coming from, and how visitors behave on the website. It is also the first and only parking program to offer PageElements technology, which automatically optimizes parking page layouts for maximum revenue.

SedoPro members experience first class service with a dedicated Account Manager to assist with portfolio setup and optimization. They are also invited to the exclusive annual SedoPro Partner Forums, which this year featured workshops, networking with industry elite, and a world class soiree at a historic, 600-year old castle in the Netherlands.
