Undeveloped.com Experience

[JudgeMind]

Has anyone used undeveloped.com to sell domains? They claim to be able to increase a domainers sales by 54%.

The redirected variable and pure landing page (plus logo switch) is to do with the option to redirect buyers to SSL pages is it not?

@alcy yes! this is what you have to do, and your search bar will dissapear:

I just tried it in my account and it works

i'll give it a try.. but it clearly says "host on undeveloped" which implies set your dns to undeveloped.

but I'll check it and try. ty.

I can confirm just a second ago vrflex had a search bar with the redirect variable. Just checked again as I was going to post and looks like that change fixed it!

lol

you were actually right!

I hope it works for all my domains! will run some test later.

thanks!!!

no doubt this little dilema we had with this stuff willl be helpful to other people in future with similar issues!

Generally, there is a reason for everything... Even if it isn't clear right away

As a coder myself I understand how these things come up. That is why I always caution on the side of the web operators... Especially in the case of @Undeveloped - as I have communicated with them frequently and they are eager to find problems and fix them.

Yes I had this problem awhile back and that fixed it.

 

[DotKing]

So I get the whole picture now. I was right about Undeveloped intentions. They just didn't count that someone can use their buy now page externaly. Like, if you dont use their DNS obviously visitors will come from Undeveloped listings... which is not always true. Good to know this 'glitch'

well.. it clearly wasn't very obvious how to find this fix.. only one guy found it so I'm still gonna say undeveloped didn't make enough effort to make things clear about that on their website..

for all we know.. even the fix we did just find could be just a bug with an unintentional result
as a coder I am sure you know those happen too

I mean you know.. it says "host your pages with undeveloped".. hosting means changing your dns to undeveloped.. no?

I don't think they benefit any on a nameserver change vs a redirect. Bottom line is they want the traffic so they can make the sale and collect the commission. Both methods produce the same results.

I think this fix was posted in this thread (or another Undev. related thread) awhile back. I know I saw it on NP because I had that problem and it was fixed after that.

 

[domains21]

@alcy does your non-hosted at Undeveloped domain now show as Parked in your Dashboard, or is it still greyed out?

Hmm... actually, the P denotes using For Sale pages rather than being parked so I'm confused.

 

[Michael M]

I think it is a matter of new features being added and the marketplace evolving - and someone not thinking to change the code or realizing this side effect. It isn't detrimental in any way.

But it does appear as if this is a "bug" or a situation of not educating the user about the different consequences of that check mark being on or off.

Edited for grammar

Excactly, they should just add explanation about this in checkbox label.

@Undeveloped
I wanted to sort the domains by the parking parameter, and I noticed that there was no such possibility. It would be useful to know which domains are not parked

I'd like this too. A filter for this would also be extremely useful

 

[DAN.COM]

@Undeveloped

so whats the deal with the landers not being same (domain searchbar on top etc) when we redirect to you via url.. versus doing a dns change?

I mean, can you officially say that you do this cause its technologically not feasible to have same landers in both cases? or do you do this to just get more folk to change their dns to yours cause u somehow benefit from it?

why not just make it simple for all your clinets.. and let them have same lander no matter if they wanna url to you or dns to you.

for some people its just much easier to redirect. why should they be penalized by seeing that stupid domain search bar on top of lander if they do this?

Because a parking page from a product perspective is not the same as an internal product page which you land on via search for example.

The entire user experience is also different based on how you land on one of those pages. So it has absolutely nothing to do with penalizing sellers, it's just proper product design.

We have to implement that indeed. Thanks for the note.

 

[DAN.COM]

thanks.
you must also have your dns set to undeveloped then.

Hi Alcy,

We don't have any logic in place that adds or removes the search bar based on if the domain is parked with us or not. The way you navigate to the for sale page determines if the search bar is shown or not.

Kind regards,
Reza

Hi Reza,

When will we have $ / € / £ options for corresponding domains covering the U.S. / European / British markets? (instead of having 1 default currency for ALL extensions)

Hi Reza,

We've solved that problem in a more intuitive manner. We already support showing the local currency in almost all countries in the world. So a Chinese buyer that lands on a USD/EUR or GBP price will see the equivalent in RMB already directly on the for sale page.

See for example the EUR conversion rate I see because I visit a USD listing from Europe:

Once implemented, this will be a gorgeous, functional, and innovative integration of blockchain technology. This isn't shoehorned - it's effective. Really looking forward to future disclosures on this project.

Fantastic stuff, Reza.

It sounds great. I especially like the rental aspect and being able to sell or buy parts of a domain portfolio.

But I have to admit I don't understand some of the technical stuff. When we talk instant transfers, is that if Undeveloped becomes a registrar or already with today's registrars?
