Each marketplace has its own pros and cons and I thought it would be a good idea to start a discussion about changes folks would like to see on their favourite marketplaces.
I'll get the ball rolling...
Uniregistry Lander:
I've lost count of the number of times I have received inquiries on domains from people who confuse the lander with an actual website, it's mind boggling. I strongly feel their landing page could do with a revamp to make it a little more obvious that they are submitting their info on a domain inquiry.
Setting names to PPC parking tends to filter much of this confusion but there's some names I just want to leave on straight up landers for various reasons.
Here's one of my names and the number of inquiries it has received to date, 10% of them have been people interested in acquiring the name. I called up many of these leads and all were a little embarrassed they didn't realise their mistake, but perhaps the lander isn't clear enough as it's a mistake I repeatedly see.
On the plus side, they're great for collecting leads.
Sedo parking pages:
They're butt ugly and completely outdated,I've noticed my adblock simply serves up a blank white page, disabling ads via parking settings remedies this problem. Why don't they have a simple option like with other parking companies to redirect straight to the for sale landing page?
Sure, we can forward the names directly via our registrar panels but that's terribly time consuming for a large portfolio. Plus I'm not sure you'll get the 10% commission rate by doing so.
Payment Plans.
I notice undeveloped recently introduced this, kudos to them, I honestly feel this should be an industry standard with the way domain prices are going, particularly on higher value sales.
