I guess I am not a rock star after all ... since I first posted about my Vote-4-Profits record it's actually gone up to 9% sell rate, but just had my voting power adjusted downward in a big way. Ouch.

It would be nice if there were a daily limit on how many domains someone can submit. Very annoying to have to scroll through a crappy a-z portfolio when I don't feel like narrowing by category. I'd recommend a 25 domains per day limit, but any cap would be a step in the right direction!

Absolutely agree. Too many single-submitted domains being lost in the shuffle. I always seem to think about when I am submitting my domains just to avoid such mass-listings.

Norris416

Is there an active thread for posting links to your Bido portfolio? My first auction is coming up 4/15 and I want to get the word out.

PS - Thanks Garrett-Bido for being all over everyones questions here. Its nice to see some strong forum support from you "guys"

Thanks CMason & Dtagr for your support on my idea to limit the daily # of submissions to 25. I took Bido's advice & posted the idea in their feedback section located here: Customer Feedback, Ideas, and Concepts for Bido.com

It is clearly titled "Daily Limit of 25 Domain Submissions Per Member" - please vote on it if you agree & lets get this ball rolling!

Here is the full text of my proposed change:

There has been a LOT of support for variations on this idea from what I've read - both here, and in other forums - but many have been shot down because "it doesn't fit the companies vision for liquidity" or something along those lines.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=560553

This would not hurt that vision in my opinion, because it still allows for up to 25 domains each day - many more than most people would want to liquidate in a single day. This would help prevent those who regularly post well over 500 domains at a time, not because they want to liquidate, but because they want people to sift through their entire portfolio and maybe have a couple of their Bido reserve prices met. This forces people to either slog through all of them (which is generally slow due to how your viewing panel is set up), or to filter by category, which isn't always desirable because it means you will either need to go through each category (including the one with X hundred), or you will miss some of the submitted domains.

There are many benefits to having a daily limit. Presumably, it would increase the quality of the domains people are voting on (or at least the number of domains from any one user, preventing an overflow of "rotten" domains). This idea would also help selling because for the majority of Bido users who only submit several domains every so often, it would prevent submitting your domains, only to have them bumped so far down the list due to a mass domain submission of X hundred, that they get lost in the shuffle.

I'm tired of wading through portfolios! Please place a daily limit of some kind! Trust me, it will help the buying experience & the selling experience - all the while maintaining & bolstering your company's vision. Yes, this actually helps your vision of liquidity because those who take advantage of your no-limit system generally have reserves, meaning they aren't interested in liquidating - they are just interested in selling at a good price. This comes at the EXPENSE of those who are truly interested in liquidating - the folks who are drowned out in a sea of bad domains with Bido reserves. Not having a daily limit is what is hurting your companies vision, not the other way around.

Thanks!

I don't know if limiting is really the answer (and I am not a mass uploader myself; I think the most I've ever uploaded in one day was around twelve.) Simply changing the FIFO format of the voting page would fix this problem without having to single out any particular user or group of users.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=560553

The voting page is really the single biggest impediment to the system in my opinion, between having to sort through endless lists of domains plus the "live refresh" (for want of a better term) feature as I scroll down. Getting rid of the live refresh and replacing the current voting page with something that just loads up the day's list of domains, or domains entered since last time I logged in, or something along those lines, would fix the problem with the voting page. It just isn't conducive to trying to give the market a serious look when I can only scroll down to the bottom of the viewable page, then get another eight or twelve domains in which I'm also not interested, then scroll down some more and wait for the refresh etc.


Frank

Gradius

I completely agree that the voting page needs to be revisited, but I do not think fixing it will solve the extent of this problem. I'm pretty sure most Bido users do not fall into the category of "mass uploaders," and that is my whole point. It only takes 1 or 2 people each day, uploading hundreds of domains at a time, to make the "Bido experience" a lot less enjoyable for everyone. This will be the case regardless of how streamlined the voting page is, IMO

I'm on board with a limit too. While I'm still new to Bido, I can appreciate how brutal it gets when someone dumps 100 + weak names.

My first auctions are coming up this weak. Here is a link for the upcoming sales. Please take a moment and pre bid if you're interested or vote on my other names.

Bido should try a limit to how many "free" submissions they allow sellers to list just as they limited how many "free" votes members get.

If a seller wants to list more domain names, say more than 25 per day for instance, then maybe it would be good for the seller to use Bido credits per additional # of submissions.... just as voters are required to purchase or use Bido credits if they want additional votes. The weight seems to be on the wrong end of the scale here and should be evened out IMO.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=560553

It doesn't seem fair for voters to be given a pay to play scheme when it is they who have to deal with the headaches and hassles of sifting endlessly through domain names while sellers just keep dumping hundreds of non marketed afterscrap domain names on a semi-professionalized platform where, unfortunately, words seem stronger than actions and ideas in instances such as this.

BTW "Afterscrap" is a universal term now .....not just from Afternic having done this with their platform while basically ousting their members from a quality listing service in favor of their own accord towards a quick turnover of lesser quality domain names and endless scrap with a pump and dump type scheme.

No offense Bido...I know you guys have what it takes....but I'm not so sure you are doing what it takes.... in this particular case.

Norris416

Friendly Suggestion: This might have come up in the 60 pages of this thread...

How about adding functionality that replaces this:

With an email that shows what the actually message is. Facebook does this very well. While I wouldn't expect an option to reply to the Bido message from your email. Its entirely possible to show the message in the email from Bido.

Why am I suggesting this? Because Bido.com is a memory and CPU hog and my office computer can't take it. Also because its probably a bad idea to be cruising online auctions at work.

Anyway, Just a suggestion. Would love to see it happen.

ComKind had a great idea. Over X domain listings = 1 Bido credit.

It could just be a cap on quantity but requiring a Bido credit(s) is good for everyone. I also am trying to look out for Bido and to be rewarding of their efforts beyond quantitative measure.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=560553

Bido deserves quality, not just quantity. Same for the buyers, sellers and voters. I think Bido is selling themselves short and causing a trickle down effect that reaches just shy of their members hopes of an ideal working platform. We don't want just another industrialized platform overflow of lesser quality domain names.

fm1234

Holy crap I sold a domain. Was starting to wonder ...

Gradius

I think ComKind has a good idea - maybe Bido needs to see a *more obvious* profit incentive before they will make a rational change!

Despite that I believe limiting submissions across the board would make Bido better for everyone (including Bido), maybe it makes the most sense to use Bido credits for extra submissions - provided you have to pay enough Bido credits! Under the current system Bido voters receive over 2000 bido credits per month, so maybe once people reach a certain cap, lets say 25 (although in this case I'd probably argue for 5), each extra submission should cost at least 100 Bido credits. The most important thing is that it the amount of credits isn't so few that it doesn't make an impact on limiting daily submissions. Otherwise sellers will simply wait until Bido voting credits are reset every so often, and with their pre-loaded spreadsheet will upload hundreds of domains (with no intention of using credits for voting - only for uploading once a month).

Whenever a company says a particular business strategy doesn't fit their company vision, we all know what they are really saying is they don't think that strategy will help their bottom line. And that is okay. It is a business, after all. That said, I believe regardless of Bido credit use, limiting postings per user, per day, will actually raise the bottom line of Bido. But I won't get into the nitty gritty details here.

An excerpt of Bido's official & temporary response to the proposed idea of limited the # of submissions per day to 25 per user (which is currently under review), is that:

"the first to vote earns the most if the item sells. This provides incentive for the community to scour the list of what's been submitted to find the gems first. For that reason, what we've found is that good items will be voted on, and will make it through voting, even if quickly buried by others."

You can't be serious.

As if I really enjoy wading through tons of extra domains in the hopes that I can earn pennies more on commissions because I am the first there...nevermind the fact that if I'm a seller, my listings may well have been buried by the same mass listers I am wading through.

Note to any businesses out there:
Whenever you have dozens of customers arguing that a free service should cost money in some situations - you know you have a problem!
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=560553

Hopefully Bido will come to their senses and realize that limiting daily submissions will not only contribute to Bido buyer's & seller's sanities, it will contribute to their profits as well.

Well, again, my problem isn't the existence of domains in which I'm not interested, just that I can't get to the ones in which I am interested. It would be far less complicated to change the page fornat than to either come up with some other system to induce volume sellers and/or a convoluted pricing scheme for uploads.

If it weren't for the way the site hogs up system resources and the fact that I can only see a handful of domains at a time, I wouldn't care if the upload page had 2,000 new names on it a day. I use NameBio to track market sales, and sometimes it has hundreds listed since the last time I checked. I get NameClerk's available domain letter, which used to send 25-30 names at a time but now sends 500+ at a time (most recent was over 800 actually.) Neither of these are an issue, because I can read, sort and catalouge the information without getting bogged down.

Besides, guys who load up 500 domains of ... let's say "varying" quality, with no traffic or rev, no information about registrar, expiry etc. (I'm supposed to just look it up in my spare time I guess) and then slap a $500 minimum bid on each of them are enormously entertaining, way funnier than most stand up comics are these days. I just wish that those guys were not causing the "market load" to keep me from being an active participant in the voting process. It can't be keeping everybody out, because domains I've submitted are getting votes well after submission (just had one today that I submitted on 26 March get its 10th vote.) But I just don't have time to wade through domains six at a time, which is what I basically get once I get to the bottom of the voting page and the "live refresh" kicks in.

Again though, it's not the mass uploaders causing the problem; it's the page.

It is a combination of both. Fix one or the other, and it's 1 small step in the right direction. Fix both problems, and everybody wins in a big way.
