Domainer Billy Frank Jones thought he had hit a major jackpot when he logged into his Sedo account several days ago.
To his amazement, his monthly total for November exceeded the usual $50 by more than $22,000.
“I almost fainted seeing the total for November being about $22,900” – said Billy, drinking a soda. “At first, I thought it was a glitch with Sedo’s reporting system, so I refreshed the page. The amount didn’t change. The next day I decided to call my Sedo rep and ask a few questions.”
Billy described to us how he waited through the long-winded message at Sedo’s phone system, before realizing he could press ‘2’ at any time to talk to a customer service representative.
Once he explained the situation, there was a 3-minute pause while the Sedo representative examined Billy’s account activity.
“So the dude came back to me and said that everything was in order. Someone had actually clicked on a link that generated $22,850.15 in earnings for my account. A single click! That’s when I screamed on the phone like a teenage girl watching the Jonas brothers in concert!”
Billy plans to buy a new car with the money generated by that single Sedo click. He’s after a car wide enough to place a large decal of the big check Sedo will be sending his way in a few days.
“What baffles me is which advertiser actually bid up this much for a click and what did they advertise on my domains parked at Sedo. I actually asked the rep but they would not disclose this information. I guess that’s an once-in-a-billion-years click!”
Traffic at Sedo skyrocketed in the past few days, after people frantically attempted to replicate the $22,850.15 click that lucky man Billy Frank Jones received for his parked domain.
AHAHAHAHAHA. That click was mine and it was in error. Can you please tell Billy to return my money to me and he can keep $1 as a reward. Thank you.
Man I never get such clicks… LOL
Must be said, this is funny, but the fact it is on domaining.com must have many people actually believing this.
$23K for one click?
I am truly baffled by this, can someone explain the logistics behind this?
I don’t think an advertiser bidded that much for a click, so it has to be a CPA %-like deal?
Someone bought a yacht or home from that click??
I bet he’s not getting his money!!! Don’t plan to spend the money before you it gets into your account.
Steve – too late, the check probably has Billy’s name on it by now 😀
Korey – do you use Sedo or DomainSponsor?
Andy – do you go by the mantra “It’s on the Internet, therefore it must be true!”
Hello – Hello! 😀
Nelson – where’s my rebate dude???
iam sorry to say this is simply can not be true , just a nice well written joke
That’s perfectly right. The average EPC had a major increase in the last few days, I’ve seen clicks reaching 1000 – 5000 USD per click.
Probably some high investment going on, I suppose recession is finally over 🙂

Good to see Sedo viewing our report with a great sense of humor 😀
Going to check my Sedo account for a Christmas bonus right now 🙂
You make my day!!!
Too bad – I experienced the same thing (with a “0” less in the figure) in 2007, when I really was into test parking my domains everywhere. Name of the company was P*rked.com – u know who 🙂
So frustrating that they sold their company – their payouts were just ‘out of this world’!
Also I didn´t invest in automobiles, since I think the return of investment is the worst possible, except you managed to run over Tim Schumacher for example with that particular car.. ; )
I’ll believe it when I see the check.
too good to be true….
let me chk my sedo account balance..
