discuss Best Lander Amongst Three.

[vij]

which lander Do you like or will recommend, and why, only out of these three? Uni-Dan-Epik

ps; none of the above not an option

 

[geekjojo]

The opening offer was $2200.

My reply:

We can sell it for $4200 or lease it for $150/month.

He accepted and he bought it.

I actually think I sold too cheap. Happy for him.

What made you buy that domain? You bought it for?

 

[topdom]

Does Epik track visits? I don't see it under performance. Sometimes it shows numbers (not IPs), but I think it doesn't work awlays either. Maybe there is a new type of landing page which I didn't try. Only IPs of whois checks are shown. What does whois check mean. Would most buyers check whois: I think mostly bots and other domainers check whois.

Voted for epik lander, it's clean and clear. I still not got any sales there but I will be pointing all of my name's to epik lander. Maybe I will slowly get transferred my name's there. Good job done by @Rob Monster and team.

The example is to illustrate you can have all three:

- Buy Now
- Lease / Finance
- Make Offer

However, for our ~9,000 O&O names, Make Offer is the standard. I just bought these hyphen names from a NamePros member:

carter-group.com
e-deposit.com
equity-group.com
red-parrot.com

The landers were live in seconds. I could customize but that is off the rack.

TrustRatings.com is nearly complete. On October 1, full Corporate solutions will be live. It is an A-team working on that project. Stay tuned.

The SEO part is really centered on the content editor. You can build a full one-page site with it for free with unique SSL. See here:

The WYSIYG editor lets you add media and formatted tables -- I did a quick and dirty lander for upcoming site called FediHost.com.

These are power tools.

We also have a full API:

https://docs.userapi.epik.com/v2/

If someone wants to use the API, they could use it to auto-populate their SSL landers with content. For details about that API feature, contact us. We don't want it abused.

@Rob would you mind sharing 1 successfully placed SEO result?

 

[frank-germany]

the question you ask leaves SEDO off

so the whole thread is an Epik promo again?

 

[topdom]

Epik's new landing pages and even the new default landing page look good, but there is no visit tracking.
So it is very difficult to know whether outbound efforts are working, because people don't like replying emails
(although my emails are never boring).

Sedo has partial visit tracking. Afternic has none as far as I know. Epik has offer tacking but no visit tracking. Dan has both?

The thread might be either Dan or Epik promo, it is hard to decide which one.
Though it may be just a "curious" domainer who wants to know which one is the best lander.
That's the irony of it, we will never know for sure

The landers themselves run on a global content delivery network powered by our February acquisition of BitMitigate.com. As a result, the landers load fast in every place, and look great on web and mobile.

Hi Rob,
It may just be my experience, but it seems to me that there is not quite as universally fast loading (at least from here in western Canada) compared to the situation say a month or more ago. This is only the case during 'peak' North American hours, i.e. middle off night still run fast. It is still pretty fast, but have your tech people noticed any slowing. I presume if I am right, and maybe I am not, it is due to many more people using your great landers and more interest in names listed for sale on your site.

Curious that no one has mentioned Uniregistry? I don't use them (mix of Epik and Dan for me) but they have a good pipeline of sales coming through....

Bob,

You are right. See Canada today:

We'll have that down shortly.

The challenge with Sedo landers is that the PPC landers are completely blanked out by ad blockers. The new non-PPC landers may fare better but they are redirects to Sedo.com, so there is no implicit SEO value to these domains whatsoever. The domains themselves have overwhelming SEO potential which is why we built the Epik landers around the thesis that each domain should have its own narrative.

Example:

https://laptopcomputers.com/

Many folks sharing examples in this thread:

https://www.namepros.com/threads/discuss-your-epik-experience.1146613/

Very important though is that I believe landers should NOT be "buy now." They should be Make Offer. When you do this on Epik, we send you the full details of who made the offer. You can reply via email and discuss the options, or you can accept their offer. Either way, you can use intelligence in crafting the deal -- buy now, lease or finance.

The landers are multi-language and multi-currency -- it changes depending on the user's browser preferences and detected IP location.

The traffic stats are collected at the network edge, so no delay in visitor counting. If you want to add your own Google Analytics, you can do it for each domain easily. See the how-to articles:

https://www.epik.com/support/knowledgebase/selling-and-leasing-domains-on-epik/

https://www.epik.com/support/knowledgebase/enable-a-coming-soon-or-domain-parking-page/

Also, anyone can use this service. If you are a NamePros user, you can be approved to use the SSL landers on your non-Epik domains. As such, people are moving domains to these landers in batches of 5,000 on a now daily basis, because of early success with it.

When you make a sale, you can use sales proceeds or leasing income to fund transfers or new creates. Our .COM promo right now is $5.49 all-inclusive through month-end. .COM transfer is an equally insane $6.49 also through month-end.

For offers that do come in, if you want help closing a deal, just ask.

Can we use Epik landers for the domains that are not registered at Epik?
If yes, how?

After:

The problem was traffic to Vancouver was routing over Switzerland rather than through the US Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).

Pretty bad-ass that we can fix that on our own network, right?

Also, our Asia ping times should get a lot better in the next 24 hours. A new Japan CDN node is coming online today thanks to @Miao.

TrustRatings.com - Very clever indeed.

Why use TrustPilot.com when you can make your own rating site?

Check the Performance Tab:

Later this week you will be able to drill down on the visit number and see the visit activity detail.

Hello,

Yes it's possible.
Import your domains to your portfolio.
Change your nameservers to ns3.epik.com and ns4.epik.com
Then go to Build > Park this domain

Gube,

Not a problem @Rob Monster Epik's network is growing fast, we control 100% of the routes and traffic that goes through our network, any optimization needed we can do it on our side. Epik has a live Network Weather map for anyone interested. https://as34962.net/

 

[Rob Monster]

Can we use Epik landers for the domains that are not registered at Epik?

Just PM @epik and we'll approve you for that. You can add domains under Domains --> Add domains:

https://registrar.epik.com/portfolio-import

And then just activate landers and marketplace:

https://www.epik.com/support/knowledgebase/selling-and-leasing-domains-on-epik/

https://www.epik.com/support/knowledgebase/enable-a-coming-soon-or-domain-parking-page/

We don't approve it for everyone but NP members pretty much always get approved. It is by approval to prevent scammers from listing inventory they don't own.

For the record, we don't even know the OP of this thread. I am not even sure he/she is an Epik client.

Great thread. I just followed him/her now.

 

[NickB]

This is not a dig - I love Epik and use them but this thread has gone off topic.....less promotion and more peoples opinions on their choice of the best lander would be appreciated......a lot these posts could be made in the Epik thread......
