Hi Charley, if you don't have a problem with it i can answer some of your questions as well.

You can submit your domains to leaseThis.com and if they are accepted they are listed as domains that can be leased on the LeaseThis.com website.
Your domain(s) remain parked to your parking provider of choice until an interested party would like to lease your domain(s)
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/industry-news/284674-domain-leasing.html

At that point your domain will of course not be parked anymore but used by the leasing party at a agreed period of time, for this a contract will be set in place and agreed upon.

You know beforehand how much your domain(s) will yield in revenue, so you have to decide to Lease the domain or continue Parking if the lease price does not meet your expectations.

This leads to your other questions,

Quote:

- Should I lock the domains?

Changing the nameservers is all what is required for someone to use your domain and i don't believe unlocking is a process required for changing nameservers, i haven't encountered this though.

Your admin email and registrant information stays the same, you will always remain ownership.

Some registrars do have a locking system in place to change anything on your domain such as admin email, nameservers, contact details, forward...
Check with your registrar for this, all the main registrars don't require any fees for changing this...some do unfortunately.

Quote:

- Can I transfer back the domains in case the domains aren't earning as much on the Parking websites I am curently using.

You know beforehand what you will earn on a monthly basis so you will have to decide if the proceedings of leasing the domain(s) is more attractive then parking your domains instead.
Lease Pricing can be discussed when interest is shown for your domain(s).

You have agreed to a contract and you have agreed upon the compensation you receive on a monthly basis. At this point you can't transfer back the domain(s) to your parking provider.

Expectations can not be disappointing since you know beforehand what you will earn.

Quote:

- I have changed my contact information[except for my email] for some registrars to make myself private. Will that be a problem here?

I would not recommend to use this method to make your contact details private, your whois needs to have valid contact information or reflect a legitimate proxy or organization.

I don't know if you mean that you already have a legitimate proxy registration in place but i thought i should let you know about this

Domains with invalid WHOIS information can be revoked. So it wouldn't be recommended to use an alias as "Joe Smith" for your registrant name for your domain(s).

This question was also addressed by Jonathan though:

Once a lease is requested we contact the owner and thoroughly verify all elements of ownership. Keep in mind that the DNS will have been switched for 30 days before any payment is issued to a domain owner so collecting money from a fraudulent domain lease is impossible.

I hope that cleared some things up for you?

Just got off the phone with leasethis.com

I informed them that my domains are showing a "page under construction" page. This page needs to be a parked page and offer the domain for lease/sale etc with a link to leasethis. Atleast thats what I thought was going to happen if nameservers were changed. Currently it does not and I'm told this is in the works. Name servers changed back to my original page.

Also, any sales of a domain through leasethis is not anywhere on their site as far as commision. This is also under works. I did find out that any lease earnings are spit 60/40 domain owner/leasethis.

So until they get it all straightened out, I wouldnt change your name servers just yet.

LeaseThis as i recall and understood did not offer parking services from the DNJournal cover story.
It was also not mentioned by LeaseThis on the forum as well.

You keep your domains parked with the parking provider of your choice, your domains are listed at the LeaseThis.com website and LeaseThis will make efforts to find advertisers for your domain(s).

Hopefully advertisers will also find it's way to the LeaseThis.com website to pick domains that are relevant to their objectives.

It would be nice to see that a link on a parking page would point to leaseThis.com and a notice that the domain can be leased.
I guess this is something where Trafficz will jump in sooner or later.

From the DNJournal article:

I think this means a notice that the domain can also be leased will be integrated on the parking page and a user friendly way to get started as an advertiser when landing on a Trafficz parking page, to be redirected to the LeaseThis.com website.

not a bad idea. i dont have some nice domains yet

Seabass · 02-01-2007, 02:35 AM

40% Seems steep to me, especially if it is supposedly being pitched as an attractive alternative to domain parking. That percentage only seems justified if they spend the majority of the money received on advertising to attract new domain leases.

Taking the 40% into account I also wonder if the domainers would up the lease price to the point where it is overpriced for leasing, thus basically killing this model, or take most of the interest out of this business model.

Damion · 02-01-2007, 05:41 AM

In my opinion 40% is a fair share, taking account with the efforts that are being made to attract advertisers (LeaseThis has been crossing the country nationwide -->U.S.) and these type of efforts will surely continue along the way.

Not only that, LeaseThis also puts in efforts to find advertisers for YOUR domains if they have enough potential, and not only for a specific category when for instance potential advertisers will be contacted if they would be interested in certain domains of a certain portfolio that is presented.

LeaseThis also approach potential advertisers with YOURDOMAIN.com so all in all the service that is provided is something you will not find ANYWHERE else.

On top of that, you discuss the lease price and you always know beforehand if the revenue yielded is an improvement of your current parking revenues or not. Each domain is a domain on it's own so there is no need to UP your lease price in comparisement to others since there is no standard lease price you need to comply with.

I have no problem with the percentages, if you make better revenue with leasing a domain then it's an improvement and regarding overpricing that is a matter of discussing price with the advertiser.

I don't think there will be domains overpriced only domains with competitive bids from advertisers.

Overpricing the lease prices wouldn't be in their (LeaseThis.com) best interest, thus putting the company in danger. I believe these guys to be smarter than that. The share that LeaseThis.com wants for their services is actually quite fair, especially considering that THEY have all the leg work. Granted, once their portfolio of potential clients has grown, their job may become increasingly easier, that doesn't change the fact though, that we [the domainers] still don't have to do anymore than we've done before. On the contrary, some of us may even have to do less. Don't get me wrong here, i am not saying that LeaseThis.com is going to solve any and all problems, but in regards to the recent PPC revenues, even from good domains and the recent performance of parking companies, the fog and blankets they place over their business and confusion they are either causing or supporting, LeaseThis.com is offering an opportunity that i, as a domain owner, simply cannot turn down. Essentially we're getting the best of both worlds; Your domain is not rented? Good, leave it parked and generate money, Your domain is rented out? Even better, because the rental revenue is based on a fair evaluation of your domain and your parking revenue is being considered in this evaluation. So far, unless i'm really from another galaxy and don't get the concept, i see this as a win-win situation.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=284674
If LeaseThis.com wants their percentage of the revenue? Fine with me, so far they have not given us questionable performance (they're so young they didn't have a chance yet

) their evaluations and pricing convention has not dwindled into oblivion,....overall, and that's truly just my opinion, i'd rather lease my domains out at any time than have them sitting there being parked. Ultimately, any type of renting your domain, provided that the renting party is playing by the rules, it's going to increase the value of your domain in the long run. More traffic, better ranking, more recognizability = higher valued domain.

just my .02 euros though.

duceman · 02-01-2007, 04:55 PM

40% isn't bad. Remember that you are getting a fixed rate of return every month the domain is leased.

How many times have you seen your revenue on your portfolio swing 20-30% in one month? And how many threads have you seen that start out with "WTF is up with *****" when RPC nose dives. Not to mention the summer season when traffic is low.

Charley · 02-02-2007, 12:14 AM

I finished importing the domains. But it doesnt allow me to seggregate them into different categories. Can that be done after all the domains are approved?

HeavyDuty · 02-02-2007, 01:00 AM

I would use the spreadsheet returned as an attachment instead of the online form. I noticed all of the keywords I included in the sprsht file were used. I imagine it's much easier for LeaseThis to copy'n'paste the data after they check it's content. Besides, it gives you (the dn owner) a little more input as to the disposition of your cherished dn's

It's been 4 business days, I'd like to hear some kind of feedback in the forum soon.
It's way too early I guess, but hey!, I'm an impatient person LOL!

Regards,

Seabass · 02-02-2007, 07:19 AM

My point was simply that if say, you make more or less $1000 a month on a particular domain parking it, and say if you want to make more on it by leasing it at, say $1,300 a month, you need to add the extra 40%, which is $520 to get your $1,300. So the advertisers bill is now $1,820.

Thats all fine and good, but will the $1,820.00 invoice to the advertiser pan out for him in the bottom line? It might not work too well for the advertisers at these prices. I believe it will for ultra-premium generic domains, but I'm not so sure about second rate domains that domainers are dying to optimize and have stuggled with to make money.

We all know that Google/Yahoo are taking about 50% of the pie so maybe there is enough play for it to work, but I believe the 40% is too high b/c with thousands upon thousands of domains they will be sitting on a lot of money and may ultimately hurt the market with that high percentage. We as domainers will obviously add that 40% in to cover ourselves and still make more than parking.

Also, based on personal experience, I have done redirect deals with advertisers and it seems to always go one of two directions - totally smashing success or horrid failure. It all comes down to the quality and targeting of the domain, and even more important what the advertiser does with the traffic once they get it. They should not buy the traffic before they have a winning formula for traffic conversion or they will be very sore when the deal is done.

*verbster* · 02-03-2007, 06:18 PM

I submitted several hundred domains a couple of days ago. Today, it looks like the approval process is in the works, as I see about 2/3 are now listed in the approved section of my account pages.

I haven't really taken this too seriously yet...I'll have to find out what happens next...if I have to do stuff for each domain or what.

Sure would be nice to hear from someone who actually leases a domain! Even $20 a month would be something to hear about.

goodkarmaco · 02-05-2007, 01:26 PM

Verbster,

Atlhough it is inspiring to see a name get picked up and the owner gets paid for leasing his name for $20.00, that in itself is not a award to the program. For the program to be successful to domain owners the percentage of names offered and the percentage of names actually leased or sold has to be fairly high.

We do not want to see another situation that occurs in the auction houses. That is four or five million names listed for sale and a very small percentage actually selling in any given day, week, month, or year.

For this program to fly its all about the marketing aspect of it. The window of oppourtunity will only capture domainers attention for a short while. So it all hinges on the sales force actually working its names and contacting end users, and converting that interest into leasing or actual domain sales.

This is not being done by others and is the deciding factor if the program will fly or not. If they do those things, ( contact end users) they will take a large part of the domain sales market.

I agree, unfortunately i have not a very positive feeling about this due to the fact of inactivity displayed by leaseThis.com in this thread - which should be monitored on daily basis to provide good interaction and feedback and to stay in touch with the overall opinions on LeaseThis.com.

In regards with feedback i also have not received a response from my inquiry to Kristine i mailed out on the 29th of January on advice from Jonathan.

I don't understand the philosophy displayed by so many businesses not to respond to inquiries at all or in a timely manor since this is mandatory for a successful or to be a more successful business let alone a startup in the making.

Question 1 - What details do we need to forward to you and to where? For ex. I have a domain name that PPC people will be interested in. Do i just forward the websites of these people or are any other details required? the thing is apart from the details that is available in the whois and in their website, i may not have any new contact info. About them. please let me know on this...

Answer - If you have leads you can send us the name of your website along with name, email, phone number of your potential lead. If you have more information feel free to include it as well.

Question 2 – - I informed them that my domains are showing a "page under construction" page. This page needs to be a parked page and offer the domain for lease/sale etc with a link to LeaseThis. At least that’s what I thought was going to happen if name servers were changed. Currently it does not and I'm told this is in the works. Name servers changed back to my original page.

Also, any sales of a domain through LeaseThis is not anywhere on their site as far as commission. This is also under works. I did find out that any lease earnings are spit 60/40 domain owner/LeaseThis.

So until they get it all straightened out, I wouldn’t change your name servers just yet.

Answer – At this point in time don’t change your name server until a lease has been made. In our production release we will have this available.

Question 3 - It would be nice to see that a link on a parking page would point to leaseThis.com and a notice that the domain can be leased.
I guess this is something where TrafficZ will jump in sooner or later.

not able to open the website right now - trying from past 30 mins. anyone else facing prob?

Mike · 02-06-2007, 10:28 PM

No problem with the site, but with the navigation.

example: there are hundreds of domains listed in each section yet i cannot jump from screen to screen to browse through the available domains. Maybe it's just me or is there no "next and previous" button?

also, accessing each domain and editing it's settings is getting a bit much, and that's just from my perspective, with a very small amount of domains listed. I don't even wanna know how someone with hundreds of domains deals with it. Is there a check box function anywhere to check off a set of domains that will be running under the same circumstances? example: domain # 1,2,8... etc. are all going to be $20, billboard, For Sale: Yes, Price: $200...

it would streamline the entire operation and make it a lot easier for the domain owner.

Is it worth leasing my domain names......I have a few about 10 jun domains. I also checked out digipawn.com I applied there and got no replies from them

goodkarmaco · 02-14-2007, 02:50 PM

It is not worth listing junk domains. To make money they should be domains that will be seen as giving the client a image in their marketplace that will allow them to compete with established sites that have good names. That takes a prestigious name.

We all know that Google/Yahoo are taking about 50% of the pie so maybe there is enough play for it to work, but I believe the 40% is too high b/c with thousands upon thousands of domains they will be sitting on a lot of money and may ultimately hurt the market with that high percentage. We as domainers will obviously add that 40% in to cover ourselves and still make more than parking. Also, based on personal experience, I have done redirect deals with advertisers and it seems to always go one of two directions - totally smashing success or horrid failure. It all comes down to the quality and targeting of the domain, and even more important what the advertiser does with the traffic once they get it. They should not buy the traffic before they have a winning formula for traffic conversion or they will be very sore when the deal is done.

Maybe it's just me or is there no "next and previous" button? also, accessing each domain and editing it's settings is getting a bit much, and that's just from my perspective, with a very small amount of domains listed. I don't even wanna know how someone with hundreds of domains deals with it. Is there a check box function anywhere to check off a set of domains that will be running under the same circumstances? example: domain # 1,2,8... etc. are all going to be $20, billboard, For Sale: Yes, Price: $200... it would streamline the entire operation and make it a lot easier for the domain owner.

Instead of the static, let's-sit-back-and-wait-for-people-to-come-to-us model of PPC, LeaseThis actually has a sales staff ACTIVELY looking for advertisers.

To make money they should be domains that will be seen as giving the client a image in their marketplace that will allow them to compete with established sites that have good names. That takes a prestigious name. __________________ GOODKARMACO, "Tenisonline"
