First, let me say l’m a relative newcomer to domaining. Yes, l have a lot of stars next to my name, as l joined NP about a dozen years ago—but shortly thereafter took a sabbatical to help raise a family until about 6 months ago.
I do have over 100 domain names now, and l just recently learned about parking, thanks to NamePros, and thought l’d give it a try. And when l read a bulletin from the Bodis CEO that users were going to be given the opportunity to list possible “ideas” for viewer look-ups, l thought l’d give Bodis a chance.
I loaded up my listed domain names with what-l-thought-would-be-inviting-subject-matter-to-folks googling my URLs. After a month or so, though, l was getting very low numbers of Clicks despite lots of Views on more than a few of my domains.
For example, my three most-visited domain names—Universearch.com, PeggingClub.com and MarryARussian.com—were generating next-to-no Clicks. I couldn’t help but go to such sites to see what the links were. I was shocked.
Anyone worried about artificial intelligence taking over the world need not worry if the “invaders” were using the same AI as Bodis “linkers.”
It was obvious why my Click-numbers suffered. I mean, for the most part, the links would have been laughable had they not have been costing me money.
To make a long story short, Bodis notified me that l was booted off the sIte for, essentially, cheating.
I did not know it kept records of who clicks on links, but l found out when l was told l was dismissed because l was costing the company money, as Bodis had to pay for my extremely infrequent looks at a link to see if it was even germane—and more often than not it wasn’t even close. Never mind that l’d never been paid a cent, and l think my total earnings were under $5. Hope you can stay afloat, Bodis.
You would think—at least l would—that a successful company would give a customer at least a warning of what he or she was doing wrong before permanently suspending him or her.
But out of nowhere, Bodis canned me. After finding out why, l begin to think that my dismissal was due to my extremely low traffic—and no wonder. The “linkage” was dreadful at best—or should say, at worst.
I was already looking for another “parker” that wasn’t clueless. If you have any suggestions, please let me know, and if you are a Bodis advocate—good for you. I’m a professional writer (check out “Married Not Buried” at HeartlandPlays.com), and l think we can make some money collaborating on a book—or at least an article—on how to overcome Bodis’ shortcomings and generate major revenue.
