Efty Marketplace Example

Spaceship Spaceship
Watch
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....

Still in process of setting it up but currently pointed to....

Interesting stats one sees within the different menus...

-# of domains by TLD
-# of domains by year of original registration (though graph is a little crowded; perhaps a table would be easier to view)
-analytic stats as to visitors by domain, referrer, page views by domain

I also like the fact that I can choose to not display certain domains on the site. I am showing some Spanish domains but only a portion of them.

Hi there,

I am one of the co-founders of Efty. Thanks for the feedback! As for the marketplace functionality I wanted to give you heads up that we're completely revamping the design at the moment and will offer two complete new designs soon.

You can read a bit more on our blog: http://blog.efty.com/post/142999837234/help-us-pick-the-best-domain-name-marketplace

We expect to roll this out in just a few weeks from now so stay tuned.

Below are a few design mock-ups so you can have a sneak peak.

We're putting the finishing touches to the new marketplace design as we speak. You can list domains with or without logos so it's going to be a great feature for brandable enthusiasts too. Here's another sneak peak of one of the two designs that we will push live very soon.

Ahhhh!!! I love it! This is an industry Game Changer! IMO, It forces brandable marketplaces to really prove their worth if they're going to ask for listing fee's and exclusivity of our domains! ✊✊✊

One question though, when is this very soon you speak of? I'm excited!

@Grilled the screenshot above is from our staging server meaning it's already alive and we're just ironing out the last bugs before we ship the code. This should be pushed live for all users within the next couple of weeks.

@Doron Vermaat , my Silicon Valley brother! Thank you for the heads up. You really outdid yourself there with the gif, and I really appreciate it!

I'll be on a Brandable VisionQuest until the new launch. Perhaps, I'll stop by EFTY to refamiliarize with the platform first. Best of luck, and smooth sailing to you and and the entire EFTY team!

Does Efty support CCTLDs? When I import .com.es and .com.py domains they appear as blank (I only see the .com.es & .com.py part and not the domain)

@rvo Efty supports the fast majority of ccTLDs. It seems .com.es and .com.py are second-level domains which is probably causing the issue. Drop us an email at [email protected] and we can look into this as we might be able to add these extensions for you.

A small update to share with everyone. We now support Google Analytics tracking for both your marketplace and all your For-Sale landing pages!

Frank Schilling once said that it's the industries "dirty little secret" that the fast majority of domains sell via direct navigation (aka landing pages) but I don't think it's fair to criticise BB for making a percentage of their sales this way when every other marketplace out there that is offering parked pages such as Sedo, Afternic and even Flippa is doing the exact same thing.

If BB (or BR) would offer transparity and a lower commission on sales completed via it's landing pages it would however be a real game changer and I might be tempted to list more of my names again.

Inspiration to spend $10 / month and give Efty a chance to aggregate and market some niche domains. :D

Why?
My point is I support marketplaces who's policies and transparency I agree with most. If NR likes your name enough, they'll spend their resources writing a description and create a logo for free without asking for exclusivity in return.

In order for businesses with better practices to thrive in a industry, I believe competition needs to respect these companies accordingly. There are of course other technical factors to consider, and that's when, I believe size of marketplace and dilution by insiders should be looked into when the only route of selling an exclusively listed domain is through the company who double dips through charging listing fee's for some and with commission fee's higher than major marketplaces such as AfterNic and Sedo.

Why?

Welcome on board. Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions, comments or suggestions.

As for the new marketplace designs: we will start to gradually roll out the new features to everyone that has a custom domain setup for their markeplace within the next couple of days.

So have you implemented it yet?

Neither the theme nor background images are like chosen in the settings...

I have borgen + landscape pic but it shows old theme with some ugly brownish image.

Ok few thoughts - things are way too messy and inconsistent:

- header and footer are waaay too big - too much wasted space

- "premium domains"? how do you pick which are premium?

- if I don't upload logos I get these fugly, crooked (why the hell are they crooked?), not even fitting... something. Just show the link and price/make an offer or perhaps give us option to choose color and font for logos

- I added "efty market sales price" , it only really shows on the first page of sands theme, nowhere else

- one of the themes shows "call us", how do I get rid of it?

- for those who have js disabled it doesn't load names (on "view all")
- borgen template doesn't even have "show all"

- I hate infinite scrolling - everything started to slow down after a few loads and completely froze after around 100 names. Showing more than a few hundred would be impossible. Just give us option to pick how many names we have per page (100) and use normal link

- on narrow window (sands theme) the text/link overlaps "make an offer"

- when I searched for something and then for something else the "search" button wouldn't work, I had to press "enter" (sands theme)

Etc etc

Definitely not ready for release.

Overall the themes look nice on the examples above but without adding categories, phone, social buttons etc they look quite empty...

And about the regular landing pages - I tested one of mine and after submitting there was a lag before I was shown confirmation.
The whirling thingy that shows me to wait was pretty small - perhaps make it bigger and on top of the "send offer" button to make sure people don't close the page before offer is properly submitted...?

@Shams

categories are accumulated based on the categories you have assigned to your domains. You can't customize these for now.

@bluebox Thanks for the feedback - much appreciated!

- You can select up to nine domains to feature on the homepage as 'premium". Just search for the domain in your Efty account, click Edit, open the Marketing tab and check or uncheck the Premium box.
- If you don't like the way domains are presented in Tiles i recommend to switch to table view (Settings > Efty Market)
- Efty market price not showing in search Sands design search result: If you change to Table view it shows but in Tiles view it doesn't. Thanks for flagging, we'll get that sorted!
- You can remove your phone number from the Settings > Profile page.
- Can you email us a screenshot ([email protected]) of where the text overlaps the button?

I already removed all names and pointed main domain to landing page - but it was sands theme if I'm not mistaken, main page and width around 800-900px

BTW - there's no way to revert to previous marketplace url? (the one on efty.com domain)
