Efty is here: Great software helping domainers make more money.

@1NiteStand can you email a screenshot to [email protected] so that we can look into this? Everything seems to be working fine on our end at this moment. There's a green "feedback" button on the left side of the application btw that you can use to report bugs or ask for help at any given time btw.

You asked, we listened: Add logos to your landing pages!

Many of you told us you’d like to build a visual image of a domain by “packaging” them with a logo. We all know that logos help sell domains because it’s visual and they give the domain personality. But wouldn’t it be nice if you can save yourself the 30% in commission that the popular brandable marketplaces take?

I’m very happy to share that as of today you can upload your own logo to each of your for sale landing pages enabling you to create even better looking landing pages for your domains.

Check out these landers to see how awesome a custom logo will look on your domains:

• JetInsider.com

• Celebsy.com

• NewYorkReporter.com

Adding a logo to your landing pages is super easy, just open the domain name in Efty (make sure it is parked with us first!) and open the Marketing tab. Click: Upload custom logo and hit Save.


And boom!


Oh, and last but not least: Efty landing pages will be completely white label for users on a monthly or lifetime subscription so there won’t be any distractions for buyers that are about to inquire about of your domain names.

As always, drop us an email at [email protected] if you have comments, suggestions, need some help with setting up your landing pages or if you just want to say hi!

I've glanced at Efty previously, but Michael Cygers engagement in the project made me take a closer look, as I've been looking for a whitelabel landingpage solution for our portfolio.

Just signed up for an account, and I really like the whitelabel solution to the landingepage, however, it seems that you can only use the predefined english-language landingpage setup? If so, any plans to make the text of the contactform submitfields customizable so that you can use it for other countries and languages?

I see there was a request for multilanguage landingpages earlier in this thread, but I would rather have an option to customize the formfields, than to have to choose a predefined languagepack.

It seems the developers are both from non-english speaking countries, so I hope you can appreciate the wish to customize the Efty system to cater to non-english markets. I personally think it will open you up to more potential users, as I'm sure, there are many non-english domainers, who are seeking a platform for their non-english domainnames.

Really happy to see Efty taking off. Doron has been great to communicate with and very responsive in trying to improve this platform and give us what we want.

Hi @Troels Thank you for the suggestion. You are correct, we've had a few requests for this so it is definitely on our radar. Please note that you can already use any language (including double byte characters) for the intro and USP on the landing pages.

@indiegrind Thank you!

So far I really like Efty. One small suggestion is to add an option that makes the field 'offer' on the contact form a mandatory field (now it is optional). It would be even better if the Efty user can add a minimum offer price. That way, an inquiry can only be submitted when they enter an amount higher than the bare mimimum you want to accept. It prevents receiving lowball offers on liquid domains.

Efty lets you customize your landing pages. Also, we do not run any ads on the page so the focus is %100 on generation sales inquiries.
Here's my thoughts on PPC parking vs For Sale landing pages:

Hi

i think the article is misleading to claim that parking is dead, when/while there are still many choices that offer ppc services. and that this service should not be using the term "parking" in relation to the nature of what "parking a domain is".

one "parks" a domain to monetize the traffic, and since there are no ads on your pages, then there is no earning potential for the domain owner, outside of a sale.

to say that "parking is dead, how efty solves it" is an illusion, because it does not revive what they claim is dead.

i think you should promote what you have to offer, without casting shadow over what still works for others.

A lot of investors these days have a focus on making money from domain names sales rather then from PPC revenue. This is the group we try to help to perform better by offering better parked pages. Many investors still use traditional parking providers (by a lack of better options) as a way to let visitors know the name is being offered for sale while these pages are often optimized for ads and not to generate inquiries or interest from potential buyers. We honestly believe we help solve this problem, especially for domain names where the PPC revenue is negligible. In the post I do recommend to keep domains that make decent parking revenue parked with your preferred parking provider. I do know that PPC parking is still alive and kicking for some domainers and I agree with you that the title could have been phrased different. I am a marketing guy however and I like to provoke a response/discussion when I write content.

Glad you like Efty so far and thanks for the great suggestion. I will see if we can implement these in our next update. Our landing pages are a work in progress and we have many great improvements and updtaes planned for them in the future.

Hi

while i appreciate your reply, it's still filled with untruths and misconceptions

and being a marketing guy does not preclude one from being forthright

by continuing to state you "offer better parked pages" and to state that "Many investors still use traditional parking providers (by a lack of better options) as a way to let visitors know the name is being offered for sale while these pages are often optimized for ads and not to generate inquiries or interest from potential buyers."

those statements are not true, as i and others still receive quite a few inquires and sales via ppc webpages.

as sedo, voodoo, domain name sales, domain sponsor, parking crew all offer options to receive inquires and offers

if you offered "better parked pages", then you would be paying a higher percentage of what current ppc providers pay and selling a higher percentage of names than those same services do.

what you are offering are "landing pages" that users can customize in hopes of selling their names, but a landing page that doesn't monetize traffic, isn't better than a ppc page that does.

i only post in contrast, to provide some clarity to that subject.

imo....

Thanks for your quick reply. I did see that suggestion earlier in the thread, however if I'm asking a potential buyer to pay $25000+ for at domain, I need the landing/offerpage to be perfect. And in my part of the world, having broken language or mixed language, is a worrying factor that many associate with fraudsites.

So for me personally, I do require full control and customization of the text and title before I can utilize your platform. So I'm crossing my fingers for a platform update.

Hi @dv82 ,
I sent an email to ask at efty.com two days ago but I have not heard back from you. Currently, portfolio page and landing page is only in English. Do you plan to support other languages in the future?

Efty ended the beta trials. Now you need to pay for a subscription. Has anybody signed up? What do you think of Efty?

I am considering to become a lifetime member in the hope that you will improve this service. Here are my thoughts.

1. You say landing pages will be white label for paid members. Will the portfolio page be white label too?

2. Your domain landing pages look good, but I cannot say the same thing for portfolio pages. Are you planning to improve that?

3. Currently, there is no minimum offer. I think it is a must have feature.

4. It would be great if I could bulk edit domain prices.

5. I don't like your random url structure. It should be like www outofoffice domains/domain/BandManager.com instead of www efty com/market/domain/9r/BandManager.com/. I want to park my domains with DomainNameSales and have a for sale banner link which points to domain landing page at efty. With current url structure, I need to edit all for sale banners one by one at DNS instead of using one url for all: customdomain com/{DOMAIN}.

6. You should let members get rid of Google, Alexa, MajesticSeo logos and lines on the portfolio pages. I think they are pretty useless and confusing for end users.

7. There should be a phone number field in the offer box.

8. You should show price as $250,000 instead of $250k on the portfolio page. Many people in other countries don't know what K stands for. It would be confusing for them. Some may think it is $250.

9. It would be good if you show IP and Geo location in the inquiry email.

10. There is captcha on the domain landing page but there is no captcha on the portfolio page. I think there should be.

11. I could not find a way to search inquiries. Members should be able to search inquiries by email, name ip and domain.

Hi Doron, i would really like it if i can pin upto 10 domains of my choice on the first page of my marketplace.

Hi @sumosan - Thanks for the great feedback.

1. We are considering this. I will update here once I have some news on that.
2. Let me know what you would like to see changed or improved upon.
3. This is in our planning.
4, 5, 6 and 8 and 10 and 11. Thanks for the suggestions. We will look into this.
7.This is in our planning
9. We already show the IP address in the inquiry email. When you check the inquiry within Efty we show you both the IP and the Geo location. I will see if we can do the same in the email. Should't be difficult.

@Joshdns - Thanks for the suggestion. I personally think 10 is a bit much as we only list 10 names per page but we can consider to increase the number to 5. I will discuss this with the team and update here once I have some news on this.

2. I think portfolio page looks too plain. I like the features your competitor provides for the main page.
10. Let me explain what I mean. When I click on one of the 'make inquiry' buttons on the portfolio page, it opens a pop up box. There should be captcha in that offer box.
www efty com/market/ajax/market/add_inquiry/id/351/user/5/

If you can get that portfolio page to include the logos we've uploaded, and look anything like BB/BR then I think you'll be inundated Doron.

It's a great site, good luck with it!

i am going to download it now and review here. Thanks! a newbie here. Will post only true review.

@Reu Torah looking forward to your feedback!

P.S - No need to download anything as the application is in the cloud!

yeah i notice its not software its a web script. You must make an desktop application which opens webpage from internet.

i developed desktop application for one of my web script earlier and this time too i am going to develop desktop application for my chat script called PhpSunChat. I will let everyone knows when desktop software application is available from my website to use with my web script.

B.T.W your web script is for domain management i thought it would show me how much traffic i generate from searches and web.

Hi @Adam27 a mod moved your comment from another thread to here (so I just got to read it). There's quite a few NPers that have subscribed to our paid plans following the beta. Some of them include @indiegrind , @Shams , @Joshdns and @vinsdomains.com - perhaps they are kind enough to share their experience with you here.

On a side note, you can still sign up for a free 30 day free trial before you decide on one of our paid plans. The lifetime membership however is a introduction offer and will only be available until the end of this month.

I love efty.com

@dv82 hey there
Im about 7 days out from trial ending..may i suggest a few things?
i think the Usp's should be Shown on mobile devices instead of the "Get in touch to discuss the possibilities" and No logo displayed at all. I have quite a few domains with extensive USP info but none is shown at all on mobile or tablets.

Some of the time ill add a domain and it will say it is 67 years old first registered in like 1949 and such..rare but happens,no biggie though lol.

Is there a chance of,when someone is browsing your landing page,Custom domain page, with all of your tiled domain listings..that the Domain itself be clickable for a computer/laptop? So it will take the browsing person to that domains page,instead lf them having to open a new browser and manually type to look at it,along with them never seeing a logo unless they actually Typed it in? On mobile,and tablet it works fine; Opens a fresh new browser with that domain you clicked on..but on computer ive noticed none of the 5 little buttons work (google,alexa etc ones) or the name itself either. Maybe its just my experience.

Just a few things that have stuck out at me,making me hesitate about jumping in for lifetime membership just yet. But i think you guys are brilliant with the setup and idea! Thank you

@Lonewolf5503 - Thanks for the suggestions. Landing pages will be completed revamped within the coming months. We will be introducing different designs to choose from and showing the USPs on mobile pages as well is a great idea. The missing links on icons on the marketplace in Tile view is a known bug. I will follow up with our development team to see if we can fix this asap!
