Is parking at Afternic a good idea?

I mean for selling purposes.

Price request: Useless.

Offer received: Once happened verbally, and it worked. Not sure how else it would work.

Parking: not tried (does it exist?)

Sedo parking is very bad, and I believe it is made bad intentionally. Looking for an alternative.

Parking must have IP tracking. Sedo doesn't have a useful tracking service. Maybe create your own page and Google analytics ID? Is G Analytics good? What I do't like about G-A is that it is a spy, and can do more than spying when it is on a webpage, like freezing it, or doing something to prevent sale. I prefer scriptless sites, and mine were so and they did well. Now everyone seem to surrender to scripmasters, who are not necessarily site owners.

A parking service should allow us to get emails whose domains belong to us and are parked there. Email forwarding should be automatic, unless disabled. Does Sedo, Afternic, Efty provide email forwarding service?

I sell at Afternic, but I never redirect my domains there. I always send traffic to my own domain sales site. I don't see any reason at all for anybody to receive my traffic for free, and do whatever they want with the traffic. Mostly they don't care. Besides. My method enables anybody searching Afternic for a domain, to plug it into their browser and buy it 20% cheaper.

No need to park at Afternic.

What is Bodis? Something like Efty? Any similarities or differences worth mentioning?

If you park at Afternic, do you get traffic stats?

Yes. But not user friendly & difficult in getting historical stats.

Put a Google Analytics insert with Bodis and you'll have a lot of stats. I also, have tried other parking and the Bodis page is pretty good-albeit with 3 ads per search term. I add the "Highlighted" For Sale banner on my domain parking page.

Could you give us a link, maybe?

Stub,
ActiveAdultTravel.com is a Bodis landing page. (Don't click the ads, please.)

It didn't resolve for me. So you are probably losing a lot of visitors to that page. Not so good. If you are trying to sell a domain. IMHO.

If you want a good landing page, try Epik SSL Landers ;)
No need to have your domains there, just add them to your account, Bulk park them and set nameservers.
Dan landing pages are good too (if you want to sell your name)

Some people have reported Afternic landing pages not resolving, so using them is a risk - I would never use them, you just won't know when they are not working.
