In the domain industry, there are plenty of services available to help you promote your domain names. Some platforms cater more towards domain investors, whilst some have the ability to reach vast numbers of end users.

GoDaddy’s Afternic platform, for example, has partnered with a number of domain name registrars to help promote any name listed at Afternic. According to statistics from Afternic, domain names on the company’s premium network have exposure to 75 million qualified buyers per month.

Sedo is also a popular destination for end user sales, with thousands of companies paying five, six or seven figure fees for domains listed on the marketplace. Companies such as Flippa, GoDaddy Auctions and NameJet offer investors the opportunity to sell their domains to other investors, freeing up cash for other purposes.

As you see, there are a number of different sales platforms available to list your domain names on. But how many sales platforms do you list your own domain names on? That is the question we are asking in this week’s poll.

What I'm saying is with Bodis, you only rely on 'type in' traffic, but with a registrar like uniregistry, you can set up a nice lander with inquire or buy now and still have your names in the marketplace.

I don't see the benefit of Bodis over Uniregistry for example who can track parking etc anyway ;)

Because almost all endusers visit the necessary domain directly...
It doesn't depend on platform at all... you may even use your own page...
At ParkingCrew I have the same amount of inquiries as with Bodis...

I saw even $32K sale of domain which wasn't even parked... totally unresolvable.

p.s. If the domain is quality - they will find you even under the ground...

All these so-called "sale platforms" exist just to grab your money... up to 20%... some kind of parasites...

IMO, Listings at Afternic and Sedo truly matter. Not because people always look for domains there but because of their distribution network (GoDaddy first and foremost). I guess (based on data and estimation) that up to ~50% of Mike Mann's sales is generated by these platforms (and because he sells a lot and regularly it may be a strong indication of a rule). All other marketplaces don't essentially matter, besides good simple lander. This opinion applies to global domain market. Specifics of local markets may vary. ~AW
I have had that experience with Afternic too, but I had not focused as much on domain sales for a few years, but then I got a broker at Above.com, and their landers have resulted in a lot of decent offers. Not saying they all are vary high, but I have had more offers since using Above's lander for a month two than I had in the last 5-10 years.

So I assume you have to set your name servers to Bodis? What are their pages like?
I think the owner of Bodis (@matt_bodis) is a member here, you can look him up and ask.

This is a style of selling which is aimed on making impression that you don't sell. It may result with lower number of inquiries (close to zero) and loosing some potential buyers. But when you finally sell, the revenue is likely to be extraordinary. It's a style of selling a'la RS.
Recommended for truly premium domains only. Low quality domains will likely remain unsold forever selling this way.

How do you setup landers in above.com? I've been unable to figure this out and their help section is terrible. Would appreciate your help in this matter.

Contact the broker (sevan@above), if he thinks you have names he can sell, he will take you in as a client, but here is how it is done:

Go to the Monetization tab, then to Folders, create a new folder, he told me to call my brokered names "Brokered", and then h told me to change the settings to 100% and to have them go to a lander. You can have them all go to another source too, but that is how the settings work... Right now I am having trouble with their system though.

Sedo and Moniker marketplaces are indeed good, yet not the only places to sell a domain. DomainBrothers.com has expertise not only in acquiring domains, but also development, marketing, strategy creation & consultation.The advantage is to leverage the popularity of that kinds of services in hope that someone will find your domain and buy/make an offer.
