The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
Epik's new landing pages and even the new default landing page look good, but there is no visit tracking.
So it is very difficult to know whether outbound efforts are working, because people don't like replying emails
(although my emails are never boring).

Sedo has partial visit tracking. Afternic has none as far as I know. Epik has offer tacking but no visit tracking. Dan has both?

the question you ask leaves SEDO off

so the whole thread is an Epik promo again?

The thread might be either Dan or Epik promo, it is hard to decide which one.
Though it may be just a "curious" domainer who wants to know which one is the best lander.
That's the irony of it, we will never know for sure :laugh:

The landers themselves run on a global content delivery network powered by our February acquisition of BitMitigate.com. As a result, the landers load fast in every place, and look great on web and mobile.
Hi Rob,
It may just be my experience, but it seems to me that there is not quite as universally fast loading (at least from here in western Canada) compared to the situation say a month or more ago. This is only the case during 'peak' North American hours, i.e. middle off night still run fast. It is still pretty fast, but have your tech people noticed any slowing. I presume if I am right, and maybe I am not, it is due to many more people using your great landers and more interest in names listed for sale on your site.

Curious that no one has mentioned Uniregistry? I don't use them (mix of Epik and Dan for me) but they have a good pipeline of sales coming through....

Bob,

You are right. See Canada today:

We'll have that down shortly.

The challenge with Sedo landers is that the PPC landers are completely blanked out by ad blockers. The new non-PPC landers may fare better but they are redirects to Sedo.com, so there is no implicit SEO value to these domains whatsoever. The domains themselves have overwhelming SEO potential which is why we built the Epik landers around the thesis that each domain should have its own narrative.

Example:

https://laptopcomputers.com/

Many folks sharing examples in this thread:

https://www.namepros.com/threads/discuss-your-epik-experience.1146613/

Very important though is that I believe landers should NOT be "buy now." They should be Make Offer. When you do this on Epik, we send you the full details of who made the offer. You can reply via email and discuss the options, or you can accept their offer. Either way, you can use intelligence in crafting the deal -- buy now, lease or finance.

The landers themselves run on a global content delivery network powered by our February acquisition of BitMitigate.com. As a result, the landers load fast in every place, and look great on web and mobile. Check it out on mobile:

The landers are multi-language and multi-currency -- it changes depending on the user's browser preferences and detected IP location.

The traffic stats are collected at the network edge, so no delay in visitor counting. If you want to add your own Google Analytics, you can do it for each domain easily. See the how-to articles:

https://www.epik.com/support/knowledgebase/selling-and-leasing-domains-on-epik/

https://www.epik.com/support/knowledgebase/enable-a-coming-soon-or-domain-parking-page/

Also, anyone can use this service. If you are a NamePros user, you can be approved to use the SSL landers on your non-Epik domains. As such, people are moving domains to these landers in batches of 5,000 on a now daily basis, because of early success with it.

When you make a sale, you can use sales proceeds or leasing income to fund transfers or new creates. Our .COM promo right now is $5.49 all-inclusive through month-end. .COM transfer is an equally insane $6.49 also through month-end.

For offers that do come in, if you want help closing a deal, just ask.

Can we use Epik landers for the domains that are not registered at Epik?
If yes, how?

The problem was traffic to Vancouver was routing over Switzerland rather than through the US Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).

Pretty bad-ass that we can fix that on our own network, right?

Also, our Asia ping times should get a lot better in the next 24 hours. A new Japan CDN node is coming online today thanks to @Miao.

Check the Performance Tab:

Later this week you will be able to drill down on the visit number and see the visit activity detail.

If yes, how?
Hello,

Yes it's possible.
Import your domains to your portfolio.
Change your nameservers to ns3.epik.com and ns4.epik.com
Then go to Build > Park this domain :)

Gube,

Not a problem @Rob Monster Epik's network is growing fast, we control 100% of the routes and traffic that goes through our network, any optimization needed we can do it on our side. Epik has a live Network Weather map for anyone interested. https://as34962.net/

Just PM @epik and we'll approve you for that. You can add domains under Domains --> Add domains:

https://registrar.epik.com/portfolio-import

And then just activate landers and marketplace:

https://www.epik.com/support/knowledgebase/selling-and-leasing-domains-on-epik/

https://www.epik.com/support/knowledgebase/enable-a-coming-soon-or-domain-parking-page/

We don't approve it for everyone but NP members pretty much always get approved. It is by approval to prevent scammers from listing inventory they don't own.

For the record, we don't even know the OP of this thread. I am not even sure he/she is an Epik client.

Great thread. I just followed him/her now.

This is not a dig - I love Epik and use them but this thread has gone off topic.....less promotion and more peoples opinions on their choice of the best lander would be appreciated......a lot these posts could be made in the Epik thread......

Is Epik planning on allowing logos to be uploaded for names and also for display in custom marketplace ?

The feature will be useful especially for clients selling brandable -type domains. Nice logo or concept helps to sell such type names better .

Yes, good idea. Would you replace the Epik logo in upper left? Fine with that, by the way. @Ala Dadan will make that happen here shortly. I suggest:

1. Default logo as account-wide preference

2. Domain-specific logo as optional override.

Would you ever need more than one logo?

Upper left is OK?

Thanks for rapid response. I don't claim to understand the technical details, and frankly I had always thought that Switzerland was between Washington State and British Columbia - you are telling me that is not right? :xf.grin:

I have to say - I'm very impressed with @Rob Monster interaction with customers. This is the only way to truly build an amazing product.

Loads of big companies could learn a very valuable lesson from this. DAN also do this well, but it's a rarity.

In regards to best Lander. Test the ones that work for you but I'd say DAN and Epik are definitely the leaders right now.

A vendor is pitching the idea of using Push Notifications inside of SSL landers:

Yes, the image is hideous, but set that aside. Would this be useful for automated re-targeting of people who visit your landers to hit them about price changes, or invite offers?

TrustRatings.com will be quite legit. We are still scouting for a Product Manager for the business unit and may spin it out into its own NewCo just to keep things firewalled. Right now we are incubating it. I believe it will be a winner. The competition is capable but they are overcharging big-time.

Is the OP referring to the appearance of the lander or the best lander to get sales? If the latter, the best of the three is Uniregistry hands down. Uni may be ugly but behind Uni's lander is a professional, dedicated sales team committed to following up with buyers and brokering your sale.

This is a huge added value.

Many buyers don't want to deal directly with domain owners. They prefer having a reputable third-party broker the transaction, both for trust and for perceived fairness in pricing.

Of the three, I'd take Uniregstry all day.
