Atom / Atom.com - Marketplace (formerly Squadhelp)

[JudgeMind]

Hey Folks,

I've just started using squadhelp.com to list some of my brandable. So far I have 76 domains listed, there is no fee to list. I've had some decent action so far in the way of interested buyers but no sales as of yet. I've only been with them for 1 week now.

A bit of a summary review of SquadHelp:

PROS

• No Listing fee
• No Logo design fee
• Ability to submit your names to end users holding naming contests
• Ability to chat directly or send a message directly to end users.
• Stats of your marketplace domains are shown in the marketplace dashboard.
• Their customer service and support has been great, 24hr a day chat.
• Ability to increase or decrease the list price of your domains or to show a discount. You can decrease or increase the price yourself by $200. If you want to lower more, you can contact support.
• End users can shortlist your domains before they make a decision on which they want to purchase. The number of shortlists is shown in you marketplace dashboard.
• When you submit your names you get to set the price you wish to get. Because their commissions are high I recommend listing at a higher price to offset the commission costs.
• Their landing pages are fairly basic but they work. Because the marketplace is fairly new, I'm sure we will see style improvements in the future.
• One thing I really like is they accept multiple extensions. I have listed .co and .io along with .com
• Each seller gets a direct link to their marketplace portfolio, HERES MY PORTFOLIO. It is handy if your trying to p[promote your portfolio through social media.
• I like that their marketplace doesn't have tens of thousands domain listings like BB. They are fairly strict on the domains they accept to list and so this helps keep the number of domains in the marketplace down and gets your listings more exposure.

CONS

• Their commissions are very high, depending on the domain name they are usually between 30% and 35%. However, there are no listing fees, no logo design fees, so in the end their commission is very similar to brand buckets.
• Their logos are not top quality, in fact I requested to have some of my logos remade.
• I think they have a big backlog of logos to design, the wait time for logo design has been around 1 week, but your names are still listed while the logos are being designed.
• After your names are accepted you need to agree to their commission rate, at this point you also need to apply your own keywords, descriptions etc. I found this was very time consuming.

yes, the name I bought was from another seller

I think "Atom owned" means registered by Atom, not the seller, in this context.

Has everyone else's direct lander visits taken a hit lately? Looking at the chart, mine are almost half of what they were the previous week.

I'm assuming the bot filtering algorithm is aggressively removing these too.

Now it's back on the rise, for me at least.

(IDK if it makes a difference, but I don't have a large volume of premium names listed alltogether.)

Yes, same thing here.

Anyone else noticing the stats often don’t match — the map on the main page vs. the one after clicking ‘View more’ (no matter the filters)?

It feels like a tale of two planets.

@Atom.com, following up.

Meanwhile, let's play 'Can you spot the differences'.

Here too it's not synchronized; the 'map stats' shows 7 visitors just within the past week, and 'domain stats' show 7 visitors total. 7+7=14.

And there were many more from the dates in between, and the time preceeding that, that come and go.

Dear ForumGPT,
can you help sort my picture collection, please. For example, I can no more decide which of the following pics is the Bitcoin chart until 2024 and which one is my Atom portfolio of the last 90 days.

Personally, I’ve completely stopped trusting the statistics being shown. At this point, I don’t even know what’s correct anymore and what isn’t .

Starting one by one:
1. Luckily, Views are back in the Domain List, but we can’t sort by them (which should be easy to fix & very useful for us). [Edit: I've just noticed we can sort it from the menu, but not directly from the table like other values].

I don't see the views column back

‘Views’ are only visible in the new version of the domains table, they are not available in the old version.

I just checked the new version and the same, I don't see them

I just checked the new version and the same, I don't see them

Try manipulate button at Domain stats in view header (first row).

There is the Plus button inside DOMAIN STATS column. After pressing it you'll get more details with 'Views'

Thanks!

I think I prefer the old version

Anyone else also not seeing "Views & Discovery" visit stats from yesterday (27th). I went into the View Details and still not there.

Yup, same. Had Sep 26 show up yesterday, but seem to be missing the 27 today.

Thank you! Once I read your reply I realized I had the dates incorrect. I've corrected them now.

 

[Chris Co]

They must be watching , the 27th has now just appeared on my chart.

[Chris Co]

My whole time with Atom has been basically just doing standard listings on the white label @7.5% so I haven't seen much of any other stats then the ones your mentioning. This weekend for the first time ever I've decided to try a few premium listings but that was more to open up the wholesale market.

So for the 27th I see... 1171 Direct, 58 Platform
Approval rate always been 0 for me since I don't do premium, now shows 61.11 and site avg 6.49
Portfolio popularity been 0 as well with site avg 50%, now shows 84.43% for me.
So I've gone from zero stats to stats overload this weekend since it's the first time I'm actually doing anything with Atom besides standard listings so I got stats overload in every category now.
