900$ in 4 months for twentytwentyworldcup.com ? What am I missing here ?

Interesting fact: 13 bombs could take down the entire internet, since the root has only 13 servers for all tld's. The 13 root servers all (redundant) point to all the various tld servers like com/net/org... Once the root is gone, then all the tld's go poof... com/net/org/info/tv/cn/us/de... all go poof.

the boat, by the looks, lol

the amount of overs each side gets to bat.

It's a much faster paced version of the game that most people would'nt be familiar with unless they were into cricket.

Big twenty twenty cricket world cup finished about a month ago.

Teams from Countries like Australia,England,Pakistan,India,South Africa,New Zealand,Zimbabwe, West Indies, Sri Lanka just to name a few. Not all sport is American.

It was big....Surprised he only made $900

This may sound a little harsh and critical but I am speaking in general terms and not directing this to anyone in particular. It is simply my feeling about this whole matter and how it is affecting everyone posting here.

I am a little surprised at all excitement this Bodis stuff has created. I am also surprised at the way people allow themselves to be victimized. I mean come on, really. Some young fella comes along and says he will "revolutionize" the domain parking industry and will single handily out-do all the established, well staffed and equiped businesses already providing this service. Bingo,everyone jumps aboard invests all their time, energy and investment into it.

Its one thing to put a few domains of insignificance to try it out and see what it is all about or spend some free time playing around with setting up the parking pages. But we got people here saying this is a business for them yet they entrust everything to the latest kid announcing his new venture that has their benefit in mind. Aren't there enough Registerflys and Kiddie Hosts doing this already to suggest that caution be used when operating your "business" or making important investments. If I was a car dealer I surely wouldn't entrust my car repairs to a backyard mechanic.

Whats worse is some would consider asking for reinstatement. Sounds to me like some people never learn or else are begging for more punishment.

Some have mentioned sueing and who knows it may be successful. However if someone sold me oceanfront property in Nevada and I tried to sue it would create a chuckle in court. I do not see this any different.

Whether a pure scam or a shady business operation the routine is the same.

1)New exciting scheme is announced. No more having to put up with dealing with the big bully you are use to. Get in early and reap the rewards.
2)People jump in head first without checking for rocks.
3)Things aren't happening the way they were told it would.
4)Everyone is reassured that things will improve.
5)We Believe!We Believe!
6)Things get worse.
7)We have faith. Whats the matter with all you non-believers don't you see what a fine job so-and-so is doing for us -after all how do all great acheivements happen without a gamble? Thank you so much for all you are doing on our behalf.
8)The lights go out and everyone is left cursing.
9)Despite the clear result there always remain a few unconvinced hangers-on.

This happens time and again. If you don't believe me follow the progress of the revolutionary green zap which declared it would change the payment processsor business since Paypal was a greedy monster fo asking 3% fees to run their business.

In summation, I don't think it is a sound practice to invest too heavily in
unproven startups especially one man basement operations. They can be fun and sometimes worth a small gamble but don't expect it to to be a winner very often.
Parking companies may seem to have the upper hand but when you look at the fact they have staff,overhead,and all the other things that make it all function such as hosting,accounting,etc is it unreasonable if they share the advertising proceeds. After all the domain owner only has buy the domain and point his nameservers. Of course I am suggesting a fare share but the domain owner shouldn't really expect 98% either.

While I am not calling Bodis as a scam as this juncture I am certain of its inability to
continue. Again lets face it, if all is as reported, there is a fourth rate ad server telling it to jump and it jumps,lie down and it lies down. To be successfull as a parking service a company has to be able to provide some leverage by saying we having a significant domain pool,do you want our business or do we go elsewhere.

Ask.com does not have an advertising base that can provide any kind of relevant ads
for serious parking the way that Yahoo and Google can provide. You're fine as long as you advertise credit cards and you can usually get a link for car insurance in Alaska.
But if your site is about Argyle socks, all your sock links take you to some online poker ads.
In turn the ads don't convert and the ad provider cries " poor quality traffic".

Eventually for bodis the end comes with a letter something like:

1)New exciting scheme is announced. No more having to put up with dealing with the big bully you are use to. Get in early and reap the rewards.
2)People jump in head first without checking for rocks.
3)Things aren't happening the way they were told it would.
4)Everyone is reassured that things will improve.
5)We Believe!We Believe!
6)Things get worse.
7)We have faith. Whats the matter with all you non-believers don't you see what a fine job so-and-so is doing for us -after all how do all great acheivements happen without a gamble? Thank you so much for all you are doing on our behalf.
8)The lights go out and everyone is left cursing.
9)Despite the clear result there always remain a few unconvinced hangers-on.

Are you talking about the .mobi timeline?

...
So I'm not really surprised that these companies don't have geographically separate servers. These businesses are still small, with only one (or at most, two) offices.

Come on nobody lost their lifetime savings...

and we will probably never hear of Bodis again.

I entered the whole domain name business offlate ....just 4 months back. twentytwentyworldcup.com was the 1st domain i ever bought, optimized it and parked it at bodis and gained 900USD in revenue via bodis.

Wow, and it's for sale for only $148 at Sedo.
