Afternic - Premium service?(100+ reseller sites), Some concerns/questions?

[Sandern]

To join this afternic premium network, from this page,

(where they link you to 100+ reseller sites), compared to their standard listing version.
Number of resellers on premium, is 100,

a) what do you have to do, besides register?

any fee? any verification?


b) for your domain to be listed here, do you have to leave your domains at your register,

and can just point these domain dns to point to afternics name servers?


c) if listing on this afternic premium network, do you have to transfer your domains from your current register to afternic? or you can leave them at your register and just point the dn servers

d) Does your afternic domain listings each get a landing page?
-can you show an example of them?

e) if your domains are listed on afternic landers (or whatever way they do it), do they allow tracking from google analysis?

Can you please explain how the Afrernic Premium network works, with these following concerns please

Your help would be appreciated to these questions, thanks

20% fee in case of sale.
Also don't forget to submit the required Tax form - to be eligible for payouts.

Afternic is not a registrar, just marketplace + network of their partners (where your listing will be shown).
Park on their nameservers - if you want, or just list without parking.

Google Analytics is not supported, if I recall correctly.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

And read their FAQ!

Thank you Jurgen wolf.

What are the pros and cons of Parking on their name servers?

What are the pros and cons of listing 'without' parking?

If listing without parking, can you list on another lander platform (uniregistry, for example) ?

Thanks

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

No pros to park there.
BuyNow listing (means: with fixed price) is enough.

Then you can park and list on other platforms in MakeOffer mode, or you may use your own lander (Contact Form).

Thanks again

if we list the domains on other platforms, (or our own lander),
then we wont be parking there.

and then if not parking there, do we have the choice to use Buy Now, or also 'make offer', or only Buy now?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

You may use ANY options...
But try to avoid the simultaneous BuyNow listings at different platforms.

 

[Sandern]

thank you for your assistance. I also read your replies to a similar Afternic post all the way back from 2017, so thanks.

a) When listing this way in Afternic to them 75million viewers, are these viewers mainly investors/resellers? (compared to End users) ?

b) Can the same strategy as listing in afternic... be done by listing the domains in Sedo too?

(listing, without an initial fee, but with the 20% fee when it sells) ?

c) So listing domains in Afternic AND ALSO listing in sedo, for increased exposure? would you advise this?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

SedoMLS network for 20% fee is just for fun, because no partnership between GoDaddy and Sedo.

The most exposure is from Afternic BuyNow listings...
Because endusers will see them on GoDaddy website, where most buyers/endusers check the domains in their searchbar.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Sedo is suitable only for really liquid domains... with natural type-in demand...
So you can park it on Sedo with fixed price and it will be sold at 10% fee.

 

[Sandern]

Thanks again,

I got a little bit confused,...

so if you use afternic with the NON Buy now listings (but make offer instead), does that mean end users will not see them on the godaddy website?

In other words, will End users not see the domains on the godaddy website unless they are listed on Afternic only the BuyNow listing option?

or are you saying 'less' end users will see them, compared to using the BuyNow option?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Most registrars/partners show only BuyNow domains... that's why no any sense to list MakeOffer domains.
I don't remember exactly if GoDaddy supports MakeOffer listings...
Try... List and recheck GoDaddy after 2-3 days...
