Very nice layout congrats much more elaborated but not complicated.

And nice adding the next report generation feature, was always a mystery when reports would update.

I just wanted to say that Troy was super prompt and helpful to me - I really appreciate the level of customer support that I have seen so far. Anyway, it turns out my issues were based on confusion about how Bodis worked in comparison to what I was used to. Also, on a side note, I love the new layout changes! Much easier to find my way around (for me anyway).

Thanks so much!!

I really appreciate your complements, and I do hope that your domain names are now performing as well as you had hoped with us.

We're glad to hear that you are enjoying the new site so far.

Thank you.

I have a question about the new bodis deal here. Has it always been domain sales through escrow.com?

Hello,

I believe that I sent you your reset information a little earlier via email.

Please let me know if you experience any further difficulties logging in.

Thank you.

Up until now, we have been handling all domain name transactions via our own escrow services, which is why we have been able to provide such a cost-effective price for our clients.

So does this mean I have to go through someone else now for a higher price? I liked bodis handling my sales.

 

[TroyBodis]

After February 1, yes. However there are some added benefits to using Escrow.com, such as additional payment options and the ability to determine which party covers the escrow fees.

So does this mean I have to go through someone else now for a higher price? I liked bodis handling my sales.

Bodis team, the recent upgrade is fine, thanks a lot!
BUT! Please add an opportunity to set custom related links either:
- (at least) one set of related links for all visitors
- (better) language-based related links: different sets of links for different languages

Not only the "primary ads provider" often returns unrelated nonsense as related links. Also, it is simply dangerous to park some domains with Bodis or any other provider that does not offer an opportunity to customize links. Example: we have (made-up example, but close to some real domains we own) BlueSky dot something which should naturally show airline travel etc. - related links. Since some large company called "Blue Sky" offers asset management services, the "primary ad provider" elects to return related links about asset management. As the result, if we park the domain with Bodis - we will receive UDRP someday, as we use the domain in TM sense. Should we park it with Sedo/DS/Internettraffic (just to name a few) - where the default related links can be overwritten - we'd be fine...

Before now, we had our own escrow service via our marketplace. It only supported a few TLDs and was very limited. Our marketplace never quite took off and we barely had any sales. Most if not all the sales came in through the parking pages. Most users also wanted to use a reputable escrow service so we decided to integrate Escrow.com. We charged 5% on our market, while Escrow.com charges as low as 0.89%. That's why we decided to stick with what we already know and that's just domain parking. You can now use an inquiry, the integrated Escrow.com form, or use a custom URL that can use any marketplace/escrow out there (Sedo, Afternic, etc).

Thanks for the feedback.

This is something we supported a long time ago and then at one point our upstream ad provider wanted us to switch this feature off. Things have changed since then and it's a feature we can definitely bring back, however we'd have to make sure each related link is approved by our staff. Long time ago, when we supported this feature, we've had a lot of scammers abuse it by putting high paying keywords on domains that had completely irrelevant traffic.

So yes it can definitely be brought back if implemented the correct way this time around.

The next few months are heavily planned out, and there's a lot of innovative things I hope to add to our UI / system. I will add this idea to our tracker, thanks.

Still no reset emails on either of my account email addresses. I am anxious to see the new site! I did just receive the "Announcing the New Bodis!" email at 9:15 (eastern time) so I am receiving emails OK.

AGAME: pm on the way.

That's nice but showing there low doesn't set me at ease when the high can be more. If its not broke why try to fix it. Reason I came to bodis was for stability and over the years have added thousands of domains. Not feeling very stable right now and worries me.

It just wasn't a viable business for us. The market segment for us was not a success. At the same time we felt there are other services in the industry (such as Escrow.com) that do it better than we did. I'm sorry.

 

[baseballworld]

But you don't wanna make it so bodis isn't a viable business for all of our thousands of domains either.

[TroyBodis]

Could you please send me a personal message with you Bodis account information or email us at [email protected] and we will look into this.

Thank you.

Great changes Matt!

Would be nice if we were able to sort domains by status (active/inactive), sale status, template type, etc. under "Manage" section.
