However, I think the problem is the following: Have you ever been in the role of an advertiser? Have you run a PPC campaign on Yahoo? If yes, you probably know that the traffic you receive from parked domain names is just not quality and doesn't convert...

Matt has some business sense and saving the ship is his priority now.

I hope all who are somewhat and probably deserved bitter about this see that he is making every sensible option available to not choose big or little domain owners. Saying he has a different agenda is not true as we will find in a while many small domainers will be announcing that they are still members.

He is allowing members known in Namepros to come back in with a simple email to him. So if you are known to Matt and your account has been deleted, email him and he may reinstat you. That is awesome and I hope many who have had their accounts closed take him up on that.

I am going to start looking to Bodis to improve quickly. On a lighter note, you can pretty much count on it, ( it can't get much worse).

Enjoy those you care about.


Wow cool. This is nice to know. Thx bro. I just emailed Matt for reinstatement of my membership.

This is really discriminating and unprofessional attitude, it's like only active namepros member are honest and have good traffic domains. I know it's private program and that he can do whatever he wants, but with this behaviour Bodis will lose lots of professional customers with quality portfolios. Even if my account gets unblocked, I would never move my domains back to Bodis, now when I know that my account can get suspended any time because of my "low or medium traffic" domains.

I understand the frustration of everyone booted. I'm still in for now, but who knows how long? I'll probably be gone after this email....

What I'd suggest is a group effort to make something positive out of this. With all the talented NP group, certainly there are a number of people with the knowledge to create a parking system. Maybe, not from scratch, but there may be a system out there that is in need of a shot in the arm. Maybe NP members can invest shares to hire a programming staff. The investors would reap the benefits by getting a return on the success of the system.

What if....the NP membership pooled together to create a TRULY transparent parking system? With all the things we all crave for: Open books, customization, html abiltiy, revenue sharing, statistics, optimization, etc.

I'd suggest this:

ONE domain name ONLY per member to start. Nobody has to give up their money makers, however, that one name is reviewed, maybe even voted on by NP members, so it has to be decent. If accepted, that one name is part of the system. By doing this, you can take only premium names to form agreements with the major advertisers or click banks. No trashy domains.

Once the system is in place, allow a tightly NP controlled acceptance into the program to eliminate fraud right from the start.

A system like this would quickly become the leader because most domainers are fed up with the status quo.

What do you think?

Agreed - I sent Matt a PM a while back... I still haven't heard anything....and... thinking about it...I really don't care.... why should any of us grovel to be included it what is essentially a underperforming beta program run by a juvenile? Hats off to the young man for attempting to be an ntrepreneur and all that, but I neither have the time nor the inclination to concern myself any more about this.

Matt... you make your bed... you have to lay in it... good luck but goodbye.

To everyone else who is whining... build a bridge... get over it.... it's not as if it's repeat Registerfly The kid screwed up... you all knew what you were signing up for... if you didn't, then more fool you!

ACCOUNT DISABLED on Thanksgiving Day.

I almost aways take the high road, but this is a crock of S**t.

In nine years I have never clicked on my own links. Never!

So now I am cut off not due to my mistakes, but due to the founder's mistakes.

Shoddy, very shoddy.

Now, I feel better, and back to the high road!

I got kicked out too for "low to medium quality traffic". I got an average of 12+ uniques per day on own of my domains. Another domain of mine got up to 30 uniques in one day with an average of 10 per day. I say that's pretty darn good for a domain name with only type-in traffic.

Whatever, life goes on and I will be moving to greener pastures.

I'm out as well, it's not that bad for me though since I was comparing Bodis and Parked and the day before I received the email I transferred all of my domains to Parked. I was probably removed because I didn't have a lot of traffic, which was due to me testing the alternatives.

I too got the same reason for being dropped. I think there are a lot of 'good' visits not being recorded...For example; I had a domain parked with Sedo that was averaging 500-600 visits/mth. I changed to Bodis and I get the following..Sept - visitors 223, Oct - visitors 122, Nov - visitor 30 .Seeing this dramatic loss in traffic I changed the domain back to Sedo on Nov/12, since then the same domain has had 1003 visits! This is over 3x more traffic in 11 days at Sedo than two and a half months with Bodis......Makes you think eh!

I just got an email this morning - got booted too. Due to low to medium quality traffic or minimum amount of traffic sent. All my traffic is type-in.

I have 13 domains at Bodis as a trial. Here are the stats...

Report Date Visitors Clicks CTR Revenue
November 2007 12744 1997 16% $168.12
October 2007 13768 1692 12% $244.13
September 2007 10312 1925 19% $478.51
August 2007 7246 1507 21% $485.84
Total: $1,376.60

How can these be considered low traffic or low quality? Also I've not received ANY payment not even for August.

These are Australian domains which might have something to do with it.

Can I ask other people who are in this situationb what their stats have been?

Thanks

I wonder who the 300 that made it through were. I got my e-mail today as I expected. Should be interesting to see how Bodis goes along in the future.

I doubt it would accomplish much, TOS first line reads:
