What will it be? We're in favor of a tiered, transparent and published revenue share deal, one that pays a higher percentage on the more revenue an affiliate earns. Theres inherent problems doing this which Ive highlighted in another thread, No1 reason being obviously the "this might encourage click fraud". So, current status is that were still working on the minutie.... If you are invited onto our program i will say that you will be better informed than perhaps ever before.

I believe, and RJ will correct me on this if im wrong, that were also in agreement in letting you guys migrate your google analytics code onto our paid platform. Ok, there going to be a mound of "im being reported 2000 visits and you guys only show 1100" problems in doing this, mainly because what stats programs report isn't the same as what ad providers report. But we'll see, Im happy to take the flack.

What we can promise to you is that we will never shave your earnings, be deceitful or underhanded - and we do expect the same honesty from our affiliates. See you soon



Sounds interesting. I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but what feed will be powering imodo?

I guess I will have to wait a while to try it out...

Predominently our feed is served by Yahoo.

Rightly, they are tentative with regard to allowing their feed to be used (certainly in the initial stages) so unrestrictively. So, for certain traffic, we are redirecting visitors to a flat google adsense feed.

When we open the program to all in early 2008, it is intended that the entire platform will be yahoo served..

The site goes live on November 4th according to what -RJ- said so I would wait until then to apply and then send either Badger or -RJ- a PM about getting the acount approved. That is probably your best bet for getting accepted.

sounds good , i've just set up a 1plus account , so hoping that will help to be accepted , looks to be the ultimate in parking , i'd say this will send the competetion into overdrive , which can only mean good things in general for domain name owners, i guess in another 12 months time as things advance in domain name parking and auto site generators , domain name values surely can only go up , due to the ease to set up what will look like a great site and the sites future money pontential.

Correct. US traffic will see a more traditional style parked page served by Streamic. It should fit the same style and theme as the regular iMODO pages, but without the content features. This is a temporarily solution to restrictions Yahoo has imposed. iMODO has authorization to serve content and ads to every country except US and Canada.

No, don't believe so.

Badger/ RJ - Do I have to wait until official launch date of iModo to register or do I have to PM you even after the iModo's official launch date to get an account?

To get account, is there any restriction such as # of domains?

Do I have to have 1plus account to get into iModo.com?

For our launch phase one: Were accepting 1plus and namepros members who meet a certain criteria. Were also inviting others of whom we know.

For our launch phase two: The program will be extended to others but we will always ensure we know of whom our users are before we let them in.

Sorry if this doesnt work for some of you, but parking has changed, I think its time the good guys were no longer penalised as a result of the few that are bad.

A lot of the time weve spent in development has been to build what weve called "domainalizing" click protection.. Our PhD level techs have built this with advice and help from the guys at Yahoo and Google. This ensures we are better informed as to who is clearly breaking the rules on our platform. However, there is no greater protection than actually knowing the people youre in partnership with in the first place.

Sufficed to say, if you're a good guy then we want you on board, in return we will ensure your earnings dont slip because of the actions of others..

So, again my question on top which didn't get answered. Will the program be supporting IDNs = non-US based traffic?

Thanks.

rickkumar is on a distinguished road
Some questions:

1. Will 1plus.net account holders automatically convert in to imodo.com account holders or do they need to reapply?

1A. If yes to above, so will the system be ready on Nov 4th to handle conversions of all the 1plus.net members to iMoDo? I am planning to test and if your performance exceeds others, then I may move 1000s of domains to iMoDo.

2. Based on your test, how does the revenue performance compares to established players such as DomainSponsor, TrafficZ, etc?

3. Do you see a traffic increase in your tests? If yes, what kind of increase?

4. How are you planning to avoid the issues/penalties for duplicate content by the search engines?

Thanks for your responses.

Non-US based traffic - yes, absolutely. In fact overall it's preferred over US based traffic at this point since we have a better ad feed to serve non-US based traffic.

I don't have an answer about IDN's at this point. I'll try to find out.

Yes, all accounts will be transitioned over.

Testing is still in progress, it's it a bit early to report. The content based landing pages worked well with 1Plus.net. The same should apply to iMODO.

There won't be much we can do to avoid this as things are now. Any sites using non-original content can't expect too high of search engine rankings.

Planned features will counteract this by allowing for user and domain owner generated content, giving the search engines more unique content to index What you're seeing now from iMODO is a very basic version of what you'll be seeing 6-12 months from now.

Badger, a few questions. I see a Yahoo content feed rather than a Yahoo feed for domains or search. From my knowledge, the Yahoo content feed pays less. Secondly, as time progresses, with content feeds there are bound to be many non paying links..more like dead links. The most important point being, content feeds could be great for domains that receive less traffic, but once you have a portfolio which receives high traffic, both Google and Yahoo are bound to step in and block certain traffic for search results, resulting in lower CPC.

If you remember the Marchex deal with Yun? They tried something similar with their internal domains and after a month or so, got entirely blocked and had to return to straight parking. What are your thoughts on this? Or are your feeds going to be non content/direct feeds from both Yahoo and Google?

There will be no back filled content on the platform. What you are seeing is again, still an unfinished product.

Better still, in the event we detect a "no return" for ads, were seamlessly redirecting visitors to an identically themed google served parking page.
