Bodis 2.0 - Page 43

Keep it clean. Like the original Bodis landers. No nonsense to deflect away from what needs to be clicked

I found the original bodis plain landers were great. No content etc, just relevant links on the page.
And if a domain gets no traffic without content, then it simply should not be parked!

Develop it instead of parking and lowering genuine type in traffic revenue.

I am definitely not entering the content development game. You wrote a perfect explanation of the direction we are heading.

I don't believe there is technology right now to successfully develop content based sites. All search engines de-index or drop rankings significantly sooner or later. Yahoo Search is the only one still ranking parked content sites, and eventually it will go away.

The problem is, Google and Microsoft at the very least, make your site worthless in the rankings if it is resolving to the same ip address / name servers as thousands of other sites.

Their new system also will recognize that 100,000 content developed sites all have the same design structure. Only Yahoo is lagging and I bet they will either lose market share in the future, or update their algorithm.

At the beginning of Bodis we did fairly will with content based sites because we were new and Google and Microsoft did not recognize us as a farm of parked domain servers. Now we are recognized and not worth much for keyword terms. I don't think any other parking company is either.

Also, I used to develop mini-sites, which were even better than automatically developed parked content sites. I had a name of a celebrity that had 600 visitors per day. Over 6 months, the visitors did not increase at all on the mini-site. What does that mean? Unless it is a full-scale user-valued site, it will not be successful in the long term.

So here we are, after 2 years, I've learned a lot, and the main thing I learned is to stay away from making Bodis an automatic content development system. At one point, we had 60,000 domains parked with Bodis. 80%+ were content sites, but they contributed less than 10% of our revenue.

Natural type-in domain names are by far the best deal.

And the new template is a one-click template, but it also comes with related keywords, search box, and most of what our 2-click template comes with. It is much cleaner, and has higher click thrus for type-ins especially. Once we know what a user is looking for, a one-click template is better. Unlike other industry one-click templates, we have our related keyword system, so we quickly find out what visitors are looking for and it'll improve overall revenue. On one-click templates we also have the ability to use multiple keywords for our set of ads which is a plus to increase revenue and CTR.

It will be interesting, especially in the next few weeks because I have a big surprise.

And if someone does not believe me about the content based sites being de-indexed, take a quick look at most domains parked with a parking content development company and go over to bing and type it in with the .com, it is nowhere to be found. Google, on the other hand, only lists it if you type in the whole domain name with extension, but won't rank any keyword terms on the page anywhere high enough for a click. We had I think 5 clicks per day maximum from Google for keyword terms when we had thousands of content sites on Bodis. It is just not worth it for us. Now that Bing and Google are fighting, and Yahoo is slipping, the future is not bright for content sites.

I think there is no future for automatic content developed sites unfortunately. Google is fighting hard against MFA, spam, and alike. It will only get harder. The only way is to manually developed a user experience-enriched content site that is the only thing that makes sense with originaly content and on a dedicated hosting machine.

Glad you agree with me there

I was astonished when parked bought whypark. I use both incidentally. I like to spread my eggs

Only used whypark since it was free, would never pay for that, can easily do that myself for free..
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=484866

I just assumed whypark was a fad that would soon run it's course, so when parked took it over it came as a complete surprise. Surely a company like parked can see there is no future in parked content pages, as google et al will slap them eventually, if not already. Perhaps whypark saw it coming and offloaded at the first offer they got

ns1.bodis.com
ns2.bodis.com

The following error(s) occured:

Error : Nameserver ns1.bodis.com cannot be queried for SOA
Error : Nameserver ns2.bodis.com cannot be queried for SOA
Please correct this as soon as possible and keep us informed by mail on
staff@eurodns.com so that we can proceed to the update of your domain.

This SOA nameserver issue that was brought to my attention by several users since the very beginning should now be fixed. It usually was a problem with ccTLD registrars such as EuroDNS and similar.

The issue should now be fixed, and you should be able to safely change your ccTLD nameservers at registrars such EuroDNS without a problem by pointing them to NS1.BODIS.COM / NS2.BODIS.COM.

We currently do well with international traffic, so I thought there was no better time to fix this issue.

If there are still any problems, let me know. So far I have tested from several registrars without a problem.

*verbster* · 07-21-2009, 01:34 AM

Any news on the "big surprise" mentioned a few weeks ago?

**matt_bodis** · 07-21-2009, 09:37 PM

Thanks for the kind words.

I wish you best of luck on the system, hopefully there will only be an increase in revenue in the future.

Verbster, it would not be much of a surprise if I were to say it now.

But in all honesty, I would love to tell you, but this is one of those things I don't say until it is ready to be presented.

Makis.TV · 08-05-2009, 04:35 AM

just an example: i have a greek traffic adult type in domain(cctld) for May 09 i was making:
Revenue per day: $0.35
RPM: $11.26
for June 09 same domain i had the following stats:
Revenue per day: $0.68
RPM: $13.29
for July 09 i had:
Revenue per day: $1.21
RPM: $17.75
and for August 09 up until now i m getting:
Revenue per day: $2..2
RPM: $23.51

keep in mind July and August are dead months here in Greece because many of us go for vacations and spend less time online.

Bodis is coming back better and wiser.

Thanx Matt.

*verbster* · 08-08-2009, 12:53 PM

Has there been any progress on the deal you were working on back in May that was going to change Bodis? (I know you won't reveal what it is; I'm just asking if we can expect it anytime soon...if any progress has been made.)

Also, are the new templates with the inquiry link (for sale link) working and ready to go live?

**matt_bodis** · 08-08-2009, 06:49 PM

Thanks guys for good positive comments.

I will hopefully have a preview for the new design by tonight / tomorrow. I've gone through many revisions, but a decision from a recent acquisition of mine blew them all away. And I think it will be very well accepted by the members.

It is taking longer because the new design is not just a simple re-design. It comes with a whole new image-matching system which completely outperforms the current one. The images are higher quality. We are spending a lot of time and money on the new images, and the designers are working with images 1 by 1 for thousands of categories to make sure that we get this right this time. This will be our third revision of landers, and hopefully the last for about the next 2-3, or as much as 5 years I hope.

The surprise I was speaking of is still in the works. Can't comment much on it, but will have a showcase of the landers shortly. Whether the surprise or landers comes first?...I don't know. Both are being worked on asynchronously. The landers really will need to be the final installment in terms of landing page design for us for the time being, so we need to make sure they are done right. And yes, the inquiry system does come with the landers. I'll let you stone me if it doesn't come with the inquiry system.

We are also working on completing deal with potential invesetor. So that should hopefully be complete this week, and once it is, it will give us a much better ability at taking Bodis to a whole new level.

I think I am at the point where I know the domain game very well. There's been a lot that I have learned through last 2-3 years, both in terms of domain parking and general business. Right now it is just a matter of building us up to where we should be. Hopefully I am right, and will be able to take Bodis to where my expectations are.

PS
To on!SPOT, yes August is one of the worst month of the year in terms of visitors, clicks, and revenue. I am unsure if it is end of July or beginning of August. I used to look at these statistics, and December/January are generally the best months, especially for shopping.

Looks like web site rather than parked page

I like it.

So, when is THE date?
I am particularly interested in "inquire/buy" link

firefly · 08-09-2009, 10:43 PM

Wow Matt! They look really nice.

Is that also direct to advertiser links on there? That would be really sweet. Also...is that a flag in the corner? does it show a flag from whatever country the visitor is from? When does it go live?

No date yet.

The inquiry would be visibly on the left-hand side and in the footer, similar to Sedo's landing page.

Since this is a mock up it doesn't have it, the final design will be tweaked. And yes, this design is actually from an actual site, which I recently bought and thought it fit a landing page perfectly. And it does.

Like I said, if no inquiry system, and I'll even ship the stones to you ahead of time.

I have fixed our email issues with Yahoo and Hotmail users. So all support email responses should now be getting delivered.

Before this, Yahoo would not deliver our messages, it would not even land in spam. Just completely disappeared from the face of the earth.

I have also taken over some of the support, so I will be answering all technical questions. I have been doing this for a few days and it has gone very well.

Hopefully this will clear up some issues.
