Recently registered domains (1-2 weeks old) were blocked by Registry (Afilias.info) due to spam activity (their reply).
Some of them were also marked as BAD in Spamhaus DBL - and I manually removed all these victims.

The domain which was blocked at Bodis - you have in your DM archive.
It was already discussed last Summer.

And victim at Bodis was in Spamhaus DBL...
I already posted: https://www.namepros.com/threads/bodis.484866/page-219#post-7354880

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Spamhaus DBL is a dynamic list... they update it in automode...
So if all is perfect at Bodis - then why this domain was blacklisted by Spamhaus???

@Jurgen Wolf

As you said yourself in a previous post, the IPs are shared. The MX records are also shared. If we remove the MX records from your domains, it's still possible something could have your doman flagged as a result. First off, we're not even certain this is due to the MX records. But if it is, there's no guarantee removing MX records would make a difference.

As an example, we're blocked every now and again by the Great China Firewall and have to adjust our shared server IPs. Since all domains are hosted on a single or group of shared IPs, it only is enough for some company offering their services to simply blacklist the IP and all domains are unaccessible via that specific service.

This is more the nature of domain parking/monetization unfortunately. There can be things done to help reduce this issue, but it can't be entirely eliminated/resolved.

The same is true if you're using shared hosting for instance.

The only advice I can provide at this point is if you're concerned about it, switch to CNAME/IP forwarding for time being until we can offer a way to opt out of MX.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

IPs are shared... right...
But anybody can send Abuse to Spamhaus (with original Email headers) - and this IP will be blocked.
Even if you just gather the email addresses for 3rd-parties...

 

[matt_bodis]

It's definitely concerning. Anything that gets an entire IP range or IP blocked is extremely concerning to us. Because, in the long term, that actually hurts us rather than helps us.

Can you PM me the 12 domains at PC, and 1 at Bodis that have the issue?

@matt_bodis

Is it possible to remove this from the listing page?

"Note that the owner may disregard your inquiry if your offer does not meet his or her expectations."

We understand why this message is important for some sellers who do not wish to have low offers, but it also seems offensive to a potential buyer. Is there a way to delete this part of the message if the seller does not want to use it?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

There is better way... It was asked already few times...
Add just plain Contact Form... ParkingCrew has it from the beginning.
Without mentions that the domain is for sale and without Offer field.

Thanks for the info.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

And the mentioned text can be safely removed - it has no any impact...
I regularly receive the lowball inquiries on Bodis... they submit even $5 offers...

We believe every offer is an opportunity to discuss further with a future friend and business partner.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

From my experience - nothing to discuss with such bidders...
Waste of time... and exceptions are very rare.

@matt_bodis
Please review your filtering of US bots... it is very weak...
Every month my portfolio at Bodis gets thousands of visits from the USA according to your reports - and just X clicks per this volume.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

For example, already ~2.1K US visits to my portfolio in December - and just 1 (!) click per this volume.

New domaincheck tool also shows domains which are not (yet?) faillisted by G, but receive no ads due to reasons like blacklisted_domain, spam, impersonation (!), etc. A few years ago, I was sometimes able to "clean" domains where G itself showed warnings in search results (not safe browsing and the like), and, resultingly, did not show ads on parked pages. It was enough to add the domain to webmasters console, confirm ownership, review the issue reported by G, and submit a request stating that the domain is now clean (recently acquired).

However, for the domains detected by the new bodis tool as blocked (not faillisted), google webmasters tool shows no issues at all. No "security issues", no false "safe browsing" alarms, nothing at all. All good. No way to submit reconsideration request.

Is there any workaround?

 

[tonyk2000]

It also appears that a number of domains with a lot of bot-powered or otherwise bad traffic are faillisted or blocked from G parking with "spam" reason. So "spam" (as per G) does not necessary mean unwanted emails.

For a few domains, I see this bad traffic in the logs of my server (forsale landing pages). So, should I start using parking for these domains - it would not last long. G will see the bad traffic and block the domain, earlier or later... Most are already blocked though (checked with bodis tool before adding to the portfolio).

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

I don't have any faillisted domains at Bodis...
All such domains I moved to Sedo and Dan...

So for me this Bodis stats is really very strange... US traffic is coming without any monetization...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

MX traffic is also counted in Bodis reports?
