Sedo Wins Domain Name Wire Awards for Top ‘Domain Parking Service’ and ‘Best Place to Sell Domains’

Sedo, the leading online marketplace for the buying and selling of domain names, today announced that it recently swept two key reader-voted awards from Domain Name Wire: Top Domain Parking Service and Best Place to Sell Domains. The award wins further demonstrate Sedo’s ability to deliver the services and features domainers demand in a rapidly evolving and highly competitive market.

Sedo was the clear leader in both categories. For Top Domain Parking service, it received 32 percent of the vote, with the next highest competitor receiving 14 percent. In the Best Place to Sell Domains category, the margin of victory was even higher, with 36 percent of readers choosing Sedo and a mere nine percent selecting the next highest competitor.

“Sedo proved innovative with its parking services this year, which is reflected in the survey results. It also added its popular auction feature for domain sales,” said Andrew Allemann, editor of Domain Name Wire. “Many sellers are finding the auction format an ideal way to get exposure for domains and sell at the right price.”

“This announcement is major validation that we are doing the right things in the parking space and continue to excel as a marketplace for secondary domains,” said Matt Bentley, chief strategy officer at Sedo. “We look forward to bringing even greater value to professional domainers for the remainder of 2007 and beyond, and thank Domain Name Wire for the opportunity to participate in the awards.”
