Bodis landers trigger AV alert

[Hypersot]

For the past 24hrs or so, my AV blocks all pages from Bodis with a 'download blocked' alert. I have tried the same domains on other platforms (eg. PC) with no problems. It seems this happens only with Bodis.

I'm using Kaspersky and the description of the blocked download contains this: "HEUR:AdWare.Script.Pusher.gen"

Does anyone else get these alerts or is it just my AV?

PEBKAC - yeah, i'm that old and I find it's still an apt description for many circumstances (usually when I contact support for something and I did something stupid, like manage to screw up a brand new macbook 5 hours after owning it and it needed a full wipe and restore).

Thanks for sharing that nifty old acronym. So the "Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair?"

Perhaps not. My Chrome browser indicated tonight that the site was not secure. So pehaps a TLS issue currently persists?

It's nearly always fitting...
AHH, ok, good, I often blame myself.
I just checked and i think you are right....

its entirely my mistake. xknit url forwards to the https whereas AmericanCruiseLies url forwards to http. Its my mistake in the DNS, and I didnt notice *sigh*

Could you explain what exactly was the DNS error? That might help others here that see a similar issue with some of their Bodis listings.

Sure, im an idiot.....but can explain, LOL

I have my nameservers set as the ones that the registrar uses. The reason being that If I use afternic, dan, sedo, SH etc, they all require different things like cname changes or txt records adding. You cant add txt records unless you are using the registrar NS.

My registrar doesnt allow CNAME flattening (eg I cant leave the root name blank, it has to be * or www), which is a pain, but all I need to do is a URL forward. I forward the root name to the Https:// www of the domain and that solves most browser problems. on this occasion, I missed the S eg I redirected to http and therefore that provoked the TLS problem. I am now going through them all to check them, add the S where missing and regretting my life choices (I should have just used afternic landers and be done with it, lloool).

For any of the curious, the other records I have in each domain is:

-CNAME * and CNAME www set to my bodis eg when you add a name, they tell you the CNAME records to add. Its a number like 123456.bodis.com. I cant add the blank ( as mentioned above)

-Txt records if afternic or sedo or dan etc have a hissy and needs it (about 10% of my domains)

I used to do a catch all for email, but got emails I really shouldnt have (like login and company / customer domains etc) and loads of junk, so I removed that from all domains.

Hope thats helpful

Thanks for the technical details. Right now, I'm feeling a bit like a PEBKAC with an ID-10T/1D-10T error trying to sort out the blocking and TLS issues!

Wow, so using the CNAME with the forwarding solves most of the browser issues? Would using this vs using NS1/2 make a difference with the TLS and blocking issues?

Haha, we all don’t know what we don’t know. Always happy to help others and to learn!

My preference would be to use ns1.bodis.com and ns2.bodis.com which I still do for some domains. It’s only the ones that I have problems with, or need txt records for that I then use the CNAME records.

If you want to send me a pm, I’m happy to help you further (though I’m in Australia, so will be after work tomorrow).

Thanks for your guidance. As a result, I decided to give Bodis another try, and uploaded most of my portfolio there using the ns1/2. Other than some initial tls issues, everything seems to be working fine.

Does it appear that the AV alert issue has been completely resolved? And the adblocker issues improved overall?

The only issue I had with Bodis and blockers (besides the obvious that ads are not showing) was that the sales banner wasn't always there.

Since then I have switched most of my domains for sale to Above.com's make-offer landers so not sure if that was fixed or not.

However, the few domains I currently have with sales-banners at Bodis immediately redirect to the link that the sales-banner contains when they detect ad-blockers. Not a bad solution if you ask me.

u mean if bodis ads page with banner is blocked it goes direct to what's behind banner...say bodis inquiry form for me... or do u really need to have a url redirect behind banner for this to work? like here:

www.lyz.co

 

[Hypersot]

@alcy ,
I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are asking (lack of sleep most probably )

What is the difference between what is 'behind' the banner compared to a redirect?

Whatever is setup for that particular banner is going to be used instead of eg. a blank page (due to lack of an ad feed or due to a blocker) which, afaik, is always a url redirect.

It doesn't matter if the banner redirects to a 'for sale' page or to Bodis' own inquiry form; they are all redirecting the visitor somewhere.

Haha tnx bud.. seems to me like u understood me perfectly. this is real good to known cause so many get blocked..
so at least having bodis inquiry or whatever banner points to is just amazing news
.. I.think to all.

tnx for sharing

@LoveCatchyDomains ,
it has been fixed now . I'm not sure how long the issue lasted so, hopefully, no domain got flagged.

How serious that can be?
Well, if a domain gets flagged it can be blocked by G (which means no revenue from them) and it might also -in extreme cases- lead to the registry blocking the domain (if enough people complain).. so,yeah, if you piss people off too much they might make a domain completely worthless.

There's a law against making something worthless on purpose. In fact,it could bring down the whole industry.

anyone else having blend in banner with highlight settings... hope its temp bug and they not getting rid highlight like they did for penetrating.. at 30usd earn per month that'd be the nail for me

They won't pay even if you prove traffic is geninue. 2024, & you believe they will pay?

 

[LoveCatchyDomains]

Yes, they paid today.

It was close to the minimum payout allowed, and an amount primarily left over from last year's earnings. Their prompt payment was very much appreciated.

EPC still are generally low fortheportfolio, but there have been some intermittent improvements. So, we'll see how this goes.

Nonetheless, for the presumably large number of domains you had parked, your frustrations are very understandable.

Brother stay away from Bodis, they will close your account if you want to ask about your payout.
I'm mostly my domains parked on different platform and i purchased only traffic domains after many hours research and i'm earning revenue from domain parking as well few develop websites.

i heard about Bodis on namepros and then i make a account on Bodis.com and after 7 days my revenue was $17 on my 5 domains, but yesterday i ask about minimum payout then they should reply my question, they said we have checked you're promoting your domains on social media platform like: linkedinn and twitter and this's against our Tos and for now we have closed your account and your revenue will held.

what a fool, they are earning money from our domains and they close your account in any time with so called reasons.

i'm getting revenues from sedo as well on afternic last from5 months but they never ask me about this.

anyway, i will suggest you stayaway from Bodis.

they want you can't promote your domains as well....

Perhaps this is more of an issue with the larger payouts? My experience has always been positive with them. The payouts have been reliable, including this month.

Has anyone had issues with them when the payouts requested are generally less than $100?

BTW, congrats on having found solutions that do work for you.

seriously you are right, it was my mistake because my few clicks come from twitter and linkedinn where i promoted my parking domains......but on this i was not aware for this....but finally after clarification they restore my account.....
Bodis really care about users.

More like people not reading rules they agree for parking and then spam every single topic on various forums that they get their account banned/closed from service.

Interesting hypothesis, but have you actually seen a correlation with individuals who complained about being banned and the number of "spam postings" they appear to have done prior to that happening?

And regarding the a/v alert issue, I was concerned when I recently did a relisting trial with Bodis. The concern about potentially getting flagged and blocked by G didn't materialize. Nonetheless, that's something pehaps worth monitoring?
