We can be confident with Epik, but are buyers also confident.. This is the whole point. same question can be asked about other marketplaces as well. Where do buyers hangout,..at landing pages or some specific sites like Godaddy. We need some stats. For example where would a Chinese company go to buy a domain. Where would an European go (Sedo?). I see very high percent of Chinese visits at Sedo, but I know they are mostly bots, because I didn't sell a domain to a Chinese at Sedo.
Epik's new default landing page is great. If it also tracks visits, it would be even better.
Sedo and Afternic have partners, this is their strong side. It is difficult for newcomers to expand in that direction. We see Sedo sales on dnjournal every week, which is free advertisement. If Epik does the same, it can compete with the big two in time.
