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.
