• The New REVOLUTION in Domain Parking is HERE! - Bodis.com

 

[Fragger]

You are not alone. I have seen no change at all.

avp

nope, you are definitely not alone. Granted, I only kept crappy domains there because of the crappy revenue, but the rev is now worse than before. :yell: But, it really doesn't bug me because like I said, it's just my crappy domains! On a plus note, I had one domain make $52.00 on 3 visitors in the last 2 days at parked.com WOOOT

Is anybody doing better at Bodis.com than before?

 

[GILSAN]

I'm also doing worst than before, even though I've changed all the pics, I've added content and I've added domains. Still I'm hopefull that things may improve, even though I'm slowly losing faith.

Heck, if you are putting that much work into it, why not just develop them into minisites?! You would probably increase your visitors by 4-5X that way too... and I'm sure adsense clicks would pay more than the multitude .01-.05 cent clicks on bodis right now. :imho:

That's true. Will probably start doing that with some domains, or adding some affiliate products on others. I was just waiting to see if improvements would start showing up, but so far not much.

What are the new features in the domain management, I see the buttons but there is no information on what they do or are for?

 

[matt_bodis]

The tool tips are going to be in the next update which is either tomorrow or Wednesday, which comes with the ability to add in domain names much quickly and which will hopefully no longer be buggy.

I already have the search feature on the list. That will be added in the update following tomorrow's update, which should be in about 3 weeks. We already have the next 3 weeks booked up where our developer is working on a lot of things for the Bodis management, this way we can get to the marketplace and registrations. But yes, the search feature is on the list. A lot of people have requested it and it will be added in sooner than later.

So besides the tool tips, and search functionality, and icons that link to the reports from the management page, is there anything else that we should include specifically on the Domain Management page?

And in the meantime, I might as well explain the management icons.

Basically, "AUTO" is the icon that lets us completely AUTO OPTIMIZE every single element of the landing page. That includes using ZeroClick whenever possible, testing out both 1-click and 2-click and figuring out which works best, and also choosing the best template possible along with the best keywords based on the user's search history / behavior.

If that is disabled, you can still toggle all these options via the icons the the left of it, you have AUTO/1-click/2-click which basically allows you to either force a 1-click page, force 2-click pages, or let the system decide which is better as more and more visitors land on your page.

Then you have "KW". If enabled, this allows us to pick out and optimize your landing page keywords as visitors search, click the links, and click on ads. We optimize this based on their behavior. This is expected to be live tomorrow evening or Wednesday, which is the next update.

We then have the last option which is TP. If enabled, we choose the best template for the domain that performs best. Right now it only uses "Standard Site" in its auto optimization algo, but down the line as we add better templates, it will figure out which template works best for the domain. If disabled, you can manually choose the template. One of your options is the PORTAL template which I do NOT recommend unless ofcoarse you really know that this is the best template (it usually isn't).

I'd recommend setting all domain names on "AUTO" for now and giving the system anywhere from 2-3 weeks to figure out which domain will perform best on which type of settings. It takes time for the system to learn as it needs to collect data in order to do that.

Also, as an add-on you have "Master Keyword" which is actually safe to leave blank unless you have a domain such as "28323151.com", where we'd have no idea on knowing what keywords to use for it, then you can help us out by giving us a master keyword.

You can also mass manage all of your domains via the icons on the top bar, and the master keyword as well. The mass delete button is on the bottom. Domains need to be selected via the checkbox to perform any mass management OR deletion.

If we set it to Auto, there wouldn't be any changes until a couple of weeks later?

 

[matt_bodis]

If you set it to AUTO, it will begin optimizing your domain name immediately. Although, you may not see any revenue increase until days or 1-2 or even 3 weeks from now. It all depends on how much traffic your domain names are bringing in. It is also normal to see a small drop on AUTO at first since we have to factor in all the possible settings to get the best performing settings, therefore we have to test out all types of keywords / landing options the GOOD and the BAD. We don't know if they are GOOD or BAD until we see what your visitors are doing on the landing pages.

So I'd recommend setting all domain names to AUTO and waiting at least 1-2 weeks to see if you've had any revenue increase.

Matt,

Those icons are extemely dificult to read. I see 7 icons and I need to get really close to the screen to try and read them. Here's what I see with enormous dificulty:

TP - KW - AUTO - 1? - 2? - 0C - AUTO

So, if I hit the icon AUTO it will AUTO OPTIMIZE but if I don't like the results I can hit AUTO again to go back to the previous MANUAL OPTIMIZE. Is that correct?

I experimented with one of my domains and hit AUTO, but I don't see any alterations. Same picture, same content, same keywords. When will the visual change take effect?

 

[lumpenfolk]

Hi Matt -

You didn't mention the red 0C icon - I guess this is for the zero click mode which you explained a while ago. Some of my domains appeared with this already set.

Also I have been getting errors on some of my pages:

"cannot convert the value "''" to a boolean"

Is it that 0C is not yet active and this is causing the problem please?

Thanks.

Any idea when june payments are going out? It's now september and I haven't received my check for june. It's not much, but that shouldn't matter. Also, the check I got before that was a completely incorrect amount, and support said they would look into it and get back to me, and that was over a month ago. Maybe you should also consider adding a feature to the control panel that tells you when payments have been issued, and how much they were for........ Because it is now over 80 days past june and I still haven't been paid....

 

[onewordonly]

The new features look promising, thanks for the info on their use.

False payment for july 2008

Today I have received payment for july 2008 but the amount is false. I have earned more than double of that in july 2008.

Allready contacted support.

Hope someone corrects it.

Yeah same for me, although my earings were not very much anyway I received just over half of what it should be.

Same here! Paid less today then what is shown for July earnings on the Bodis website.

 

[GILSAN]

Same story here. I got about 20-25% less than what I should have.

 

[JamesDavid]

Same here, payment is about half of earnings. Not complaining just bringing to light that it seems to be happening to a good amount of people.

Thanks

 

[Poohnix]

Same here. Only off a couple of bucks, but before it's been on the cent.
Perhaps the payment list is out of sync somehow.. in that case some would get more, but I guess we won't hear from them.

.

 

[matt_bodis]

Ok, there was a problem in the payments. Not sure what it is and how it happened since we have been using the same system for over a year - but we will get it resolved and everyone will receive their payments.

Very sorry for this inconvenience, and I will have it resolved in no-time.
