Efty Marketplace Example

[garptrader]

Today I signed up for the EFTY 30-day trial to test the look and landing page customization feastures. I already have a portfolo on another site. I was just curious what other domainers have done to see what features are available etc. I did notice it did not automatically upload my .TV domains but it did look at WHOIS to find most of the others - even those which were expired. I decided to "not publish" most of the Spanish domains on this EFTY site. Anyone have some examples....

@Doron Vermaat hello, I am planning to join the platform. Looks like a lot of good features, I had couple of questions.
- I understood that there is one domain for the market. And the other domains are hosted as single page landers or they need to be forwarded to marketdomain slash something?
- I am planning to use something like purechat, can I integrate it in the marketplace domain? Or do you have plans adding a livechat thing to the platform?
- For buy now listings, should we create Escrow buttons, or it is automatic within the platform?
Thanks

Hello, pardon my ignorance but I do not see an option for keywords on efty. Will that effect traffic to my domain?

Hi Marco. I am not sure if I understand your question but Efty doesn't serve any ads on our For-Sale landing pages so there's no need to add keywords. If you mean something else, please elaborate and i'll try to answer.

Each user can set up one marketplace per account. You pick a custom domain such as NameRockstar.com, TheDomainStore.com or UltraDomains.com for your marketplace. You can choose to park all your other domains with Efty so they will show For-Sale landing pages such as MovingUp.com or Diagnose.com. You are of course free to forward them to your marketplace instead like http://www.namerockstar.com/domain/MovingUp.com/ etc.

As for now you can't integrate services like live chat but we will consider adding support for such widgets in the future.

To create Buy It Now button we have a integration with Escrow.com. This is not automatic, you can choose to display certain domains with a BIN button.

Pardon my ignorance, I thought keyword and titles tags effected traffic and google ranking for certain key word searches. Every parking platform I've had offers it but I am very new to this still so again forgive me if this is common knowledge

You totally mess all different things here. Keywords and tags have to do with ranking (not traffic directly, but traffic would depend on ranking) if we talk about websites. Not domains nor parking pages.

If we buy the basic plan today, can we upgrade to the growth plan later in the year by paying the difference...or do we need to start a new plan?

Hi Doron, do you have pure buy now landing pages yet (without make an offer)?

You can upgrade at any time and pay the difference.

Not yet but i'm happy to share they will be added within the next few weeks!

Most parking platforms that allow you to set keywords do so for targeting the right pay-per-click ads. Efty For-Sale landing pages don't have any ads so there's no need for that.

Would it be possible to add a filter for lowball inquiries? I am getting ridiculous lowball offers through EFTY which I do not care to receive - like one yesterday for 1 cent for a two-word .COM. Perhaps a filter could be applied at an account level (each account holder would choose the threshhold) where offers below some threshhold do not go through.

I think at efty we can set minimum offer price in Edit Domain Section.

As @Shams already mentioned, Efty allows you to set a minimum offer amount for each of your domains. You can do so for a single domain or up to 100 at the time via the bulk editor. Let me know if you need any help with this.

Please let me know what you think about the site since I am still working on it...
And obviously if you find interest in any of my domains hit that offer bottom

The main drawback with the Efty platform is that the search tool takes up most of the page whenever you load a page or hit a category button.

We will add more themes to our marketplace gallery within the next few months, including one with a smaller header so the domains are placed above the fold.

Hey buddy ,What happened when a buyer clicks buy now button..as u say PayPal is not integrated.

 

[Potential.Domains]

Hey @Doron Vermaat

Question: Can the same Google Analytics tracking ID be used for both Efty marketplace and landing pages?

 

[musicman]

I will throw mine into the mix here. Check out www.NameTap.com

We currently use Escrow.com for the Buy-It-Now integration and are exploring the opportunity to integrated Paypal in the near future.

Hey @Doron Vermaat

You need one tracking ID for your marketplace url and another tracking ID for your For-Sale landing pages. For the landers you can pick any random domain to create the tracking ID for, as long as the name servers are pointing at ns1.eftydns.com / ns2.eftydns.com

More information about Google Analytics integration can be found here:

[musicman]

Doron,

If you add a bunch of names, it is hard to know which are added and which are not. My suggestion is to have ability to move import feedback over to see list or have ability to skip over ones that are currently in Efty. The latter is preferred. Thank you!

When one of my domains is used for the landers, what happens if the domain name used to create tracking ID for landers get sold? That is something not explained on Efty blog post on setting up analytics tracking IDs. Unlike the marketplace tracking ID, the site is not for sale - so no issues.

Would have been better if the marketplace tracking ID is programmed to use same ID for the landers.

I like it for the most part so far...

except I can't figure out how to use my own background image, I don't like the idea of using one of the same 10 background images as everyone else. That and my logo is too small, 300px x 80px is too small for the layout, it looks awkward.

I'm also still trying to figure out how to select more than one category for the domains. Anyone know how to?

 

[Doron Vermaat]

@Potential.Domains good questions. I'll check with our dev team and get back to you on that one.

@Grego85 - good news, we're working on allowing everyone to upload their own background images. Keep an eye on our newsletter for the announcement. As for the logo's, it's important that you eliminate any white space before you upload them. Feel free to email me yours and I may be able to help make things look better. As for now you can only assign one category to each domain.
