question Afternic vs Namepros Lander

Hi

landers don’t sell domains
but gobaddy brand may give buyers more trust that the transaction will be completed

imo…

Both of these carry a lot of weight.

So far I sold 1 name from NP lander and I received the money and transferred the name in less than 1 hour.

Well, to me, there is no evidence to support the idea that one sale and one offer out of God knows how many domains, are the result of using the Afternic lander.

If you tested it for at least one month (preferably not during the summer), - say, Sept on NP and Oct on Afternic - the results would be much more accurate in determining which lander performs better.

I did exactly that two years ago and saw no difference, so I switched to NP, where I have much more customization power and better tracking options.

Personally over the last 25ish years I've seen no difference, wherever I point my names is where the majority of the offers arrive whether that is NamePros, Efty, Atom, Saw etc.... I've recently been testing Atom as I hear some people say that even though their domains are pointed to Atom offers are coming in from Afternic and I'm not seeing that on my end all offers are coming in to my Atom white label as expected. Majority of my sales over decades are direct with 0 commissions as very rare I sell through anonymous sources Afternic, Sedo etc... as I don't think it makes much business sense to sell anonymously if in this for the long haul. I'll take a sale wherever it comes from but I'll always favor DNS that points to my offers not coming in anonymously as harder to negotiate when you have no clue who's on the other end of a transaction.

Maybe Afternic brokers talk more professionally and convincing than I would do this myself.
I lately get inquires on UD and after my reply I no longer hear back from them.

You could use NamePros Landers to prominently display that the purchase will be through GoDaddy/Afternic (with it delisted there), and then send GoDaddy's checkout link, which has a much lower commission.

Best of both worlds.

2 Weeks ago I sold a name on Afternic. Then as usual I switched DNS to Namepros for 5 days. No offer.
I then switched to Afternic yesterday and got an offer on one of my names.
The problem with Afternic is I have to send the offer to the Broker to do the negotiation which would take a while vs I can negotiate the transaction directly here on Namepros lander.

The question is why I did not get any offer when the landing page is Namepros but I get the offer as soon as I switch to Afternic?
- Is it a coincidence?

This information is not only surprising but also very useful. Thanks a lot.

Just get another offer from Afternic this morning.
He sent 2 offers on the same name so hopefully he is serious.
