BODIS blocking a big data network that represents 40% of my traffic

[Nodoxy]

I have been using Bodis for about 8 years now. Unfortunately, a couple of months ago I found out they are blocking a major mobile data network from the country where I get 90% of the traffic that my domains get. That represents about 40% of loss in terms of unique visits for my domains. The data network is called Telcel and is for Mexico what for the US would be AT&T or T-Mobile, I mean the biggest mobile network in the country.

I opened a support ticket and let them know with full details about this issue. Unfortunately this has not been resolved and they don't seem to be doing anything to resolve it.

I have over 10K MX domain names and getting 40% of their traffic blocked is having a huge impact on my business. I tested about half of my domains with Sedo and Parking Crew over the past month and I can confirm this issue is only happening with Bodis.

I am posting this to help other people who may be in the same situation to do something about it as I know we don't always fully test that our domains are getting the traffic they should get from different sources. Also to see if I get lucky and someone from Bodis, different from the guy who attended my support case, cares about retaining a long time customer and try to fix this issue. I understand they may find difficult to reproduce the issue but I am open to help out as this is very important for me.

Finally, I would appreciate some advice in terms of alternative parking companies other than Sedo or Parking Crew that I have tested so far and they remain as bad as they were 10 years ago.

Why do you think that the traffic is blocked by Bodis? Without seeing examples and details, I would rather think that Bodis nameservers/IPs are blocked by Telcel. If this is the case, Bodis can't do too much about it.

I have been battling a reCAPTCHA nightmare for many weeks while trying to access my Bodis account, where it is impossible to solve the lame reCAP "challenge" to the point of defeat. Pretty close to closing my account.

Just have to wonder if others are having the same problem. I'm constantly clearing my browser history/cache.

I hated captcha on landers but there is option to disable it. so I'm good. I never had captcha on login. but I'm basically on always stay logged in.

Hi, just a little update on this one. I can confirm that is Bodis the one blocking the traffic coming from the Telcel network (Mexico), which is huge. To put this in perspective, imagine having the traffic coming from both AT&T and T-Mobile networks together in the US blocking the visits to your domains, that pretty much represents betwen 40 and 50% of my traffic.

Unfortunately after several months Bodis have not resolved this issue which is a shame because after testing several other parking platforms I believe they are one of the best.

Searching for alternatives, I am testing out Giant Panda with one of my domains but it looks like thety are still developing their platform and the addition/optimization of the domains is pretty slow at the moment, so this won't be a solution right now for me. I know they were awarded with the google ad feed recently so may be if other companies got google's feed, we might have some other choices out there.

Let's hope for more competition.
