BODIS

@TroyBodis hi...yer major sys upgrades ongoing now..is it like system backup or actual bodis enduser changes? if latter then where can we read about all new changes? ty

I am very sorry for this unintended delay, as thread notifications appear to be hindered lately.

Hello @alcy,

As @pablohc86 mentioned, the Related Search Terms are mostly being used for suggestive purposes right now; similar to how the Master Keywords were handled in the past, but our Tier1/G ad provider is still taking the top 1-3 RS terms into consideration, while the remaining RS terms tend to be broader, with their relevancy improving over time.

hi...help me understand..when I enter some search terms... why then on my ads page it does not show them all or shows some ads unrelated to the terms I entered...?

I mean what is the point of u letting people enter search terms if they wont all display or if half the ads are unrelated to those terms? ty

These ongoing updates are mostly database related, which will hopefully help to improve the overall Bodis end user experience. However, you can expect details regarding any major account changes/updates to be posted to our News and/or Blog pages.

Thanks.

Hello @Jurgen Wolf,

Both of these options are still on our radar. But hopefully we can include a much requested balance notification option within a shorter time frame.

Thanks.

can someone explain to me..is it possible for any registry..say .org.. to flag a domain for spam/abuse just by having it parked on bodis...or any company I guess..

Hello @alcy,

Some registries have strict guidelines regarding ad parking and domain parking in general, but we are very proactive in ensuring our ads and landers comply with these requirements, making registry flaggings quite uncommon at Bodis.

However, it is more common for the .ORG registry to place domains on serverhold (DNS lock) if the registrant is believed to be undertaking some form of domain abuse.

Thanks.

ok tnx.. but let me clarify..if someone has a .org which becomes.locked for abuse.
and the owner never ever did anything other than park on bodis.. does this automatically imply the cause of it is park ads? if not..then what do u think could cause it? or sometimes it just happens by registry mistake? ty

Hello @alcy,

No, it is not automatically implied that the ads and/or parking lander are the cause, even with newly registered domains.

It is more commonly due to domain name registrations that violate/abuse the legal rights of a third party, or are a high risk of doing so.

Thanks.

Afilias is behind .ORG
They use Spamhaus, SURBL and other blacklists.

@Jurgen Wolf we haven't seen any issues.

Probably blocked by our firewall, have you requested the landing page a few too many times by any chance?

Please DM me your IP address so I can confirm, thanks

@matt_bodis ,
blocked by your firewall?

If a random IP is blocked just like that, isn't that a bit worrying regarding how much potential traffic might be lost?

Hello @Hypersot,

I believe this would only affect IP addresses that make repeated page requests within a very limited period of time, but maybe @matt_bodis can clarify further.

Thanks.

Yes, it was firewall.

When we will see this new sales form via plain http, any ETA?
Currently it works only for SSL visitors...

OR

You plan to redirect all plain http requests to httpS?

Hi Jurgen,

Over next 1-3 weeks we will start to increase until everything is on the "new parking" with new sales landers. More to come on that.

News I just saw from Bodis https://www.bodis.com/blog/y-ads-integration

The domain counter for Unassigned folder shows 0 instead of proper value.
Please fix this bug.

And please set CURRENT MONTH on Calendar by default or add this option to UI settings.
Was asked many times.

Hello @Jurgen Wolf

Thank you for notifying us. I've just forwarded these details over to our developers, so we will have an update for you shortly.

Thanks.

3 weeks elapsed - I don't see any changes on my domains.
Via plain http - the same old parking lander and the same old sales form.

Here no changes as well since 2020.

And when I click Revenue today/yesterday filter on Dashboard - calendar remains ALL TIME.
Fix this BUG.

Hello @Jurgen Wolf,

We do apologize for these delays, but our developers are still working to improve the "new parking" system as we speak. The legacy landers are expected to remain in place until we are confident we can fully transition over without running into any problems.

Hopefully, once this task is complete, our developers can focus on bug fixes/requests, as well as improving on existing features.

Thank you for your patience.

Other than the usual gradual drop in visitors from month to month for most of my domains (due to dying backlinks), my EPC rate has not dropped over the past several months, and my CTR% actually increased last month due to what I believe to be the new Bodis default park templates...I am curious to see last month how much of my traffic was pulled for the Y! Ads integration Bodis just started introducing since I won't know that until the 7th of the month. Prior to that when they introduced it was very little, but I think they are slowly pulling more traffic and applying against my domain portfolio. We should get more visibility on this in the future once they tie it to individual domains later this year. Will report if it adds anything more than 1% of total revenue since that can be one reason for a drop in reported visitor traffic...
