Bodis landers VS BIN landers

[davidc1]

Hello,

Is there anyone who made a test using bodis as a lander ?

I now use dan landers and also list my domains on sedo and afternic.
I tested bodis during few hours and see that I have significant revenues using them, so i'm thinking of using them for my landers yearly instead of dan.

Is there somebody who tested them for selling domains, there is only a link at the top of the page, it's ads focused and not sale, but maybe the difference between them and dan landers for making domains sales is not so high.

It's not so easy to calculate the best ROI with and without parking.

Hi

totally agree

my last 5 sales all were domains parked with ppc ads, 4 on sedo and 1 on afternic.

I am still waiting for the 3 top domains you have that generate that traffic income.

I called your bluff and your shilling.

Hi

i wouldn't post my top 3 ppc earners either
who wants everybody to know this info and why should i provide keywords or something for folks to try and reg typos of them?

are you gonna say i'm bluffing or shilling too?

why isn't the proof that was provided acceptable?

imo...

 

[davidc1]

you could earn 100k a year from parking? sure, don't let me interrupt your delusions, I am starting to enjoy your fairy tales.

look to my above dashboard : https://prnt.sc/mLgHR5mpLe-F
that's stats with parking's domains only...
if i add my sales domains, i would make much more but dont know if i could lose sales for the moment...

I am surprised people still use Bodis.

 

[AEProgram]

maybe @TroyBodis could tell us more about that.

This has already been discussed and nobody can provide any example domain that auto forwards when it detects adblock. I urge people to stop destroying sales and immediately halt any landers that are blocked for millions or tens of millions of people unless you have some names you do not care about selling. Bodis already confirmed on here that their page does not render for ublock, so the arguments over this are by people that should never be trusted. If they cannot admit to something bodis themselves stated, they are just misleading people and potentially causing serious financial loss.

This same issue applies to some of the sedo landers I tested.

 

[LoveCatchyDomains]

Please post the domain that you have at bodis that redirects to dan if you use ublock. I asked many people, nobody has shared such a domain, when pressed, they all admitted they were full of shit.

tinymovies.com. Using Microsoft Edge with Ublock, it directly went to Dan rather than the ads. There were others where that was also the case, but I decided to directly point them to Dan directly due to the much higher desire for sales over ad-revenue.
I tested it before posting that fact. Perhaps it is different with different browsers or even different operating systems. But that's what was happening for me and UBlock Origin.

If I were interested in traffic revenue, my strategy would be the following:

1. choose all the names that you don't think would get you in TM trouble if the ads the parking company placed looked like infringement. Especially, exclude the high value/high price names where many companies might think UDRP might be cheaper than buying the name.

2. Put them on parking (or rotator) for 1-2 months.

3. check the results and separate the best parking performers. Probably, top 10-20% of your names. One criteria could be "if the annual expected revenue is above the renewal cost by % or more". So for this group, basically you don't care as much if it sells or not. It works like your dividend stocks. And, of course, some of those will still sell via AN/Sedo as an extra bonus

4. For the rest, use for sale landers at Dan, Afternic, Sedo etc.

 

[AEProgram]

1-2 months is not long enough, some names earn revenue within 6 months even within a year.
The basic problem is 99% of domainers are really impatient and don't understand how domain investing works. They blame parking or sales landers. The actual problem is always the lack of quality names. And waiting is the key.

A blank lander is never good regardless how much you twist that blank pages won't matter.

Hi

i have some in this group
and looking to add more members.

This is exactly what I do. I park everything at Bodis for a trial - if it generates revenue it stays parked, else it gets moved to a domain.io lander. If a domain makes more than its reg fee I will leave it parked forever.

If you're selling any .app domains I would put them on Bodis at least (or domain.io) so that you don't lose the HTTPS traffic (.app domains don't work at all without HTTPS). You can generate your own SSLs for free of course, but I would rather let someone else handle that.

And while this is most important for .app domains, I feel this way about all TLDs. Who is browsing with HTTP only in 2022? If you don't have SSL enabled landers you're leaving money on the table, in my opinion.

no diff imo. if u want domain u just don't care about contact form or how it looks. we should all be way more worried about the half or so visitors not seeing any lander or park ads on bodis due to many adblockers around. now that's depressing and should make all think twice about parking

 

[davidc1]

Just the sale method. Should be URL. Like this (domain and exact URL are edited out, was normal afternic ns5/ns6 destination page). Most likely your setup is already the following, as your domain was forwarded under ublock -

Show attachment 224661


Also, 2 tier ads should be globally enabled just in case /not ads involved as they are (u)blocked, but this appears to be necessary/.

With the above config, without adblock there should be parked page with forsale text (top part), and, in case of ublock origin, the visitor would be forwarded to the URL.

Yes I did that and confirm that it's NOT working with ublock origin

edit: it works but, the redirect needs a few seconds delay

 

[tonyk2000]

why they removed this great feature

It is likely that brave adblock simply became more powerful, bodis did not change anything imo.

 

[davidc1]

I decide to make a split test with my domains : dan landers VS bodis lander.

@tonyk2000 what is your custom text on bodis's landers ?

Results in a few days...

 

[tonyk2000]

@tonyk2000 what is your custom text on bodis's landers ?

As neutral as possible, just to make them click. "Click here to buy somedomain.com for your website name". Old uniregistry used this text, they likely tested a lot...

 

[DomainNature]

An advice about brandables and other domains which are not descriptive.
Do not park them, they will not bring anything, straight sale lander must be applied to them or better use marketplaces for brandables.
If user does not know of your new created brand they will never type it in, maybe by some rare coincidence.
In short it is not worth to park such names.

 

[AEProgram]

For the moment I have 2 sales through bodis landers and 0 through dan landers

Guys, ignore this person. There is no case even without the adblock issue, that a parking lander will do better than a sales page lander. Review the post history, he came to shill for bodis and shilling he did. Tell your masters to fix the adblock issue because it wont be long before most people with good domains stop using them.

anyone that suggests domainers should park names at a place that leads millions of potential buyers to a blank lander is either a parking company shill or does not have the ability to think properly.

If you tell me you do 100k a year in parking, I have a right to ask for some names and you have a right to say no.

 

[davidc1]

Did you try the Bodis landers with Escrow as a choice? If not, do you think that this might make a difference? Maybe businesses and professionals may more readily recognize Escrow.com as a name, rather than Dan?

No, escrow is a bulshitting non US buyer/seller

I now only use bodis on best parking domains only.

 

[tonyk2000]

I'm forwarded to DAN visiting tinymovies with ublock origin on: 1) mac, chrome 2) linux, firefox

 

[tonyk2000]

Maybe there a difference with Ublock origin and Ublock? Or perhaps the settings being used after being installed?

Ublock and unblock origin are synonyms:

uBlock Origin (or uBlock) is not an ad blocker; it's a general-purpose blocker. uBlock Origin blocks ads through its support of the Adblock Plus filter syntax. uBlock Origin extends the syntax and is designed to work with custom rules and filters. Furthermore, advanced mode allows uBlock Origin to work in default-deny mode, which mode will cause all 3rd-party network requests to be blocked by default, unless allowed by the user.

Source: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock

It appears that in most enduser configurations, which is also confirmed by members in main bodis thread, "URL" forsale setup (and only this setup) works for forwarding visitors with ublock. And, there is at least one exception - @AEProgram ...

In any case, there is a phenomenon of banner blindness:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banner_blindness

This thing alone is a good reason not to park routine forsale domains (with a forsale link or banner). So, if the domain earns enough with parking - let it be parked, but, if the primary purpose is domain sale - and there are no noticeable parking $$$ - then it makes no sense to park it @ bodis or anywhere else. Imho...

 

[AEProgram]

their pages are blocked by ublock origin adblocker, avoid

it seems that there is a redirect to dan landers when an adblocker is running

 

[davidc1]

post the domain that behaves that way

maybe @TroyBodis could tell us more about that.

any idea how many visitors roughly use advlockers and are affected by this? half?

also are u aware that if we enable globally tier2 then bodis randomly based on location and various algorithms will show tier2 ads for many tier1 domains... this was easily seen in my stats which is why I disabled tier2. we all know tier2 ads are as good as advlocker as far as sale potential

 

[DomainNature]

Not sure what exactly you people mean when you say that the redirect does not work with ad blocker.
I use Brave browser it has ad block enabled, the redirect was working fine until recent, I did not update the browser, I disabled updates, it is Bodis did something.

With ad block enabled when I visited some of my domains, it would show blank page then redirect to lander page after about 10 seconds, something happened in September that this does not work anymore.
In fact this were my suggestions to Bodis not sure why they removed this great feature, I even suggest them to improve timing so it will work faster, to improve user experience so they not leave.
Would not be surprised if it's Google request to remove this auto redirect.

Now think how can be something that did not updated to suddenly stop working?
Answer is simple Bodis side changed something.
