Has anyone used undeveloped.com to sell domains? They claim to be able to increase a domainers sales by 54%.
No, I don't need revision of mine.
And I don't need breakdown by portfolios
Just overall sellthough and by categories, types, length, extension.
I've been on Undeveloped for a couple of weeks now. 63 domains, 400 views, zero leads, and I still don't have access to the Dashboard.
Hello,
It would be nice to know from which domain comes the lead, corporate or not.

I'm not clear about inserting a Google Analytics ID - will that show stats for all domains as visits to Undeveloped.com or will it break them out by domain? I can only see option to insert one GA ID and what domain should that ID be created for in GA?
Hi Carob,
Due to the complexity of setting up preferences in Google Analytics (GA), we can't offer personal support in setting up your account. But when you add the tracker code at Undeveloped, we add that tracker on all your for sale pages (including the ones hosted on Undeveloped.com) and all traffic is recorded there.
You can in your own GA account also lookup data per domain but we don't have a guide for that (yet). When we have more time on our hands we'll write a blog post about it.
Kind regards,
Reza
I believe it's www. undeveloped. comMy question really is, when generating the GA ID what url to input?
Hi I am familiar with using GA on a number of sites. My question really is, when generating the GA ID what url to input?
In GA you go:
Analytics >Admin >Creat Account
Add:
Account Name
Website Name
URL
Because Undeveloped asks us to not change the contact info when we push sold names to them, a lot of owners take control of domains with the seller's contact info still on the name.
More of an issue for the new owner, I dare say, rather than for the seller.
It would be good to add a option to display other currencys for some domains as having just one set with a large portfolio isn't the best..
I was told the only way is to register another account
Because Undeveloped asks us to not change the contact info when we push sold names to them, a lot of owners take control of domains with the seller's contact info still on the name. And they don't change it. I regularly get e-mails from GoDaddy asking me to renew names I sold on Undeveloped in the past, or telling me that the nameserver has been changed, etc.
This may just be a GoDaddy issue, because other registrars change the owner info automatically. But I think it could be mitigated if when Undeveloped pushes the domain to the buyer at GoDaddy, they could select to change the contact info rather than once again pushing without a contact change.
Am I the only one who doesn't like getting e-mails about domains I no longer own? That I sold, and the new owner should be getting the e-mails, and may need to see them in fact.
Not really, as you have stated, it is your policy to please buyers unwilling to leave a domain at Godaddy for 60 days and for that reason you will not do a preemptive whois change.So to conclude, this isn't our preferred process either but it's forced on us by Godaddy's lock-in policy.
Hi Carob,
Ah, I see. You can input there whatever you want. One of your parked names or Undeveloped.com if you prefer that.
Not really, as you have stated, it is your policy to please buyers unwilling to leave a domain at Godaddy for 60 days and for that reason you will not do a preemptive whois change.
So really you need to tell buyers upfront that 60 day delay will happen so they accept it in the ToS, and you need to educate them to the fact that they can change DNS on GD and start using the domain right away. That takes a bit of writing and maybe a bit of time, but it is just a cost of doing business. Otherwise you are just transferring risk onto sellers who may not even know it.
I can't see how you can offer escrow service without removing the seller from the Whois. ICANN define the registrant as the owner. If someone sells a domain and whois does not change, they can force the registrar to give it back no matter whose account it is in. It is in the buyer's interest to for whois to change at time of sale too.
PS: telling buyers upfront that they have to wait for 60-days will result in you not selling the domain. That's a huge waiting period for someone that has paid for a domain and is looking to develop it.
Hi thanks for the info.
For anyone not aware of it, having done that and supplied GA code to Undeveloped, you can see your results in GA by going to >Behaviour >Overview >Page Title, where you see a list of titles - each page title contains the domain name so you can see which domains got views.
You can see visitor city, country, language under >Audience >Overview
You can see real time visits in GA. Looks like Undeveloped's visitor stats shown at Undeveloped update daily, or is it more frequent than that?
I wonder if Undeveloped have considered letting us input a unique GA code per domain?
Do you exclude pageviews by logged-in users?
Developing has nothing to do with the registrar. Once they have the domain at Godaddy they have full control of the DNS and can use the domain instantly. There is no delay.
It probably is not important and generating a lot of codes might confuse users. Not sure what the advantages would be, probably you could generate more specific data and also link domains to Google Search Console data (maybe you can already, will check). Years ago a parking platform called something like Noomle or similar let you put in unique GA codes per domain as I recall.We haven't thought of adding a unique GA code per domain. This is the first time we get that feature request
While possible, there's simply no advantage in doing this - both for Undeveloped, and for you, the owner. The way that it's structured is extremely flexible in GA.It probably is not important and generating a lot of codes might confuse users.

As handy as this, it would still be great if we had the option to localise the pricing for our domains to make sure we get the price we set. It's all fair and good saying that an auto-conversion is done to help buyers understand what the cost in their regional currency will be, however with the way currency rates fluctuate this makes it hard to price your ccTLD offerings effectively.Hi Wizard,
This topic has come up more often. We show the local conversion rate of each buyer on your landers to automate the process so you don't have to edit currency settings for thousands of domains.
So a Chinese buyer will see automatically the RMB equivalent of the price you ask so they know exactly what the cost is. And our payment provider allows them also to pay in their local currency which is converted to your main currency.
Not sure if this issue has been brought up before, but I checked "domain was sold" by mistake! now the landing page shows message that domain has been sold on undeveloped and the domain is no longer in my dashboard, tried to add it again but same result, any idea how to fix this?
Is there any way to hide completed/closed transaction from the sales activity in the dashboard?

If someone has a portfolio made up of mostly .com domains and therefore has chosen USD as their currency display but then wants to make sure they get €1000 for a .eu domain, they have to estimate what USD value is best for that instead of setting the actual currency and not having to worry about the current exchange rate.
Case in point: only two months ago a EUR1000 was USD1130, today it is USD1151.
I know my example is exact, and in reality most would set their pricing to account for this, but at the end of the day wouldn't it be better if the price wanted is the one that could be specified to begin with?
