Hi everyone,
I'm planning to start a free ad network where you can use your existing traffic to multiply the amount of people who see your domains and I want to ask for your valued opinion. Thank you in advance.
Why am I doing this?
Many small time domainers feel like they don't have as good a shot at selling their names as the bigger players. I was looking for a way of bringing all of our portfolios in front of more eyeballs in an easy way.
How do I plan on doing this?
I would offer you a free membership where
You may ask: But why should I share my traffic with others?
I strongly believe that most end-users are looking for a very specific type of domain and the more domains they would see on the ad network, the higher the chances of a sale would be for everyone. I'm thinking of setting up quality standards and a review process to ensure a high quality inventory.
My questions to you are:
Georg

I would offer you a free membership where
- You get unlimited free landing pages, and you can forward as many domains as you want, each domain to its separate landing page.
- Each page contains a "This domain is for sale" message for your own domain and then below it there are links to domains from other members.
- In turn, your domains will show up across the whole network of other domainer's landers.
- This means we automatically promote each other's domains, using existing traffic, in the spirit of cooperation. My goal is that everyone should benefit from this.
- Here's the important part, because I know many of you already have your domains pointed/forwarded to landing pages at Efty, Afternic etc.: You will be able to keep your existing marketplace or self-hosted pages, because my service would just link there. Potential end-users visit your domain, see the lander and have the opportunity to click through to your actual sales page. Note: This will only work for non-exclusive marketplaces because the ad network lander would be the first thing people see and that's something, as you might know, that's not allowed on BrandBucket etc.
- The other domains listed on your page will change after a while to create some rotation. We could also think of only showing related domains, for example links to Crypto domains being shown on the lander of a Crypto domain. This will increase sales.
- The whole system will bring more eyeballs to every domain of every member and therefore will multiply all of our efforts.
- I have experience in building reliable web services, and I know every visitor/potential lead counts. I have also built similar ad networks previously.

My questions to you are:
- Would you be interested in giving such a mutual promotion network a try? Would you be OK with displaying other people's domains on your landing page, possibly after a review process done by you so you could personally approve each domain?
- What would be your additional feature requests, if any?
