Michael Krell-one of your competitors has an interesting "button" that lets the seller "tweet" his listing onto Twitter with one easy click-has BB ever considered this? Obviously it also gets more people to the BB site at the same time if you did it. It also contains #domains #startup etc (up to 140 letters re Twitter). It's a great idea that costs nothing. Thank you.

Look at those five great big buttons at the bottom of the website on every page.

The thumbnail for new domain name BenchCloud is just terrible.

Can you... bench a cloud?

re: Michael Krell and Zalooi.com-approx. 5 days ago I posted here that I had a domain sitting for about 90 days at BB-approved but obviously fell through the cracks-Michael Krell told me to PM him -I did and 5 days later
Zalooi.com is up-running and with a great logo design. Michael did a great job on this one.

Strong statement from a BB cheerleader-That logo looks fine and they also gave you TOP dollar for this name-TOP.

Voting on brandbucket is still there but you can't get credits anymore to list your names. I don't think I will pay the listing fees if my names aren't shown on the front page when listed. Currently the only new domains that show on the front page are "staff picks" typically names that are valued over $2000, says a rep from BB.

It is pretty easy to make front page. I had 2 last week and currently have 2 also. I have the 1st one at the moment BTW

... CoolAnalysis !

But "making" the front page only lasts a day or two so it is not the end on the world not being there. I doubt it is really a valuable opportunity to show in front page.

It looks as if they are adding 100 per day. I understand they're a private company and don't have to disclose anything and they could probably stop right here and just sell inventory but I think at this point-adding all these names-BB should let potential sellers know if sales "ratios" are still the same with this many names as they were with less names. If they are or are increasing that's fine but if they aren't that's an issue. Being one of 17,000 is not great UNLESS they are selling more names than before-which they very well could be-if BB doesn't release this information one has to assume they're not selling more re the "ratio" and they're just collecting listing fees plus 30% whenever they do sell a name. Hopefully that's not the case but remember the founder's interview on DomainSherpa where she basically said "sellers should be happy with what they get if it's $2000 ( minus 30%) and they paid $10" (paraphrase).

I have had 30+ names listed on BB now for over a year, the only sale I made was for a front page listing which sold within 3 days of listing. Having said that, my experience shows it is very valuable as none of my other names are selling and likely not even being seen amidst the 17000+ other names.

So, I won't pay for listing names at least until I get some sales to justify the investment.

Actually it is very important to be on the front page (staff picks) because when someone visits BB for the first time they don't understand how anything works and especially don't understand the search features. When they land on page 1 they will probably continue to page 4 or 5 before they try anything else. This almost guarantees any name that starts on the first page will be seen for almost a week on the first few pages of BB. Most domains are not put on the first page and the only way a buyer can see them is if they sort by "Date Added", but who do you think really does that. For every 1 that lands on the first page there are probably 10 that don't so you do the math and figure it out. If there is about 50 names per page and you don't make the front page that means when 1,000 names are added every 10 days your name will end up being close to page 20 when someone chooses by "Date Added". So your wrong it is a death sentence to not be on the first page!

Ok. I never thought buyers were browsing page by page. If I needed a name for my company I would search by keyword or part of word that I want to see in my name. But I guess it is possible that some people just have no clue on the name they want and are browsing pages and pages of names.

It would be interesting to know the ratio of names that sold while showed on the first 10 pages versus pages 11+.

I think we'll see momentum slow down when many people run out of free credits, likely within the next few weeks.

I still have credits for 9 domains. Also finally my 2 more domains got published and 6 are queued to publish.

How do we delete a name we no longer want to sell ?

Ask them to remove that domain name. [email protected]

If,once published, my GreatBuddies.com or FundClient.com don't make the front page at least for a while there's something wrong. You are so very right about that front page-it's really getting to be very much like being on the first page of Google in search. Anyone who thinks it's not important is fooling themselves.

I initially done that many hours ago and yet to receive a response.

Awaiting patiently.

Where are we with regards to submission dates and approval/rejections?

It now takes between 5 and 7 days.

ApeXX · Jul 31, 2015

Anyone watching the GD coupon thread? Looks like GD has in effect discontinued their .99 domain coupon program for the majority of users.

Combined with the return of BB's listing fees, I'm curious to see how this effects BB submission rates.
