Just letting everyone know that PayPal payments for September will be sent out on Monday. Apparently, this month PayPal couldn't clear the payments on time and the expected clearing date is Monday.

I apologize for this. As soon as PayPal clears the funds on Monday, the payments will go out to everyone.

The Wire, ACH, and Checks are all on time and have been sent out.

Thanks for the info Matt!

any chance of getting updated domains showing on the home page? The same ones have been showing for about two years now . . . many of them no longer owned by the same people or parked at Bodis.

 

[matt_bodis]

Verbster, new Bodis interface is in the works. There will be no domains on home page once that is live.

Love to wait for it, it's worth the time!

I think we should increase site optimization.Web site traffic less, should add more content or optimization. Attract more traffic to increase.

 

[matt_bodis]

There's a lot of things that can be done to increase revenue.

Although, not a lot that could be done to increase traffic. Content will lower the CTR. We already had it once before. It was also a mess to keep up with and manage.

Not many people want to bookmark and return to spam sites with automated content (or even unique content) with a focus on ads. We are really focused on traditional parking and monetizing traffic that already exists on the domain. That has the highest CTR and better end user value than mass generated spam sites.

Many businesses that are currently focusing on mass generated content are failing. You are no longer relying on just a small amount of upstream providers for ads, but once you focus on content, you are also relying once more on the search engine traffic from only 2 companies. And now since Yahoo has been replaced with Bing, you are not going to get much more traffic on mass generated sites, as Yahoo was the life blood of mass generated content spamola, as their algorithm was spotty.

From what I hear and see, most domainers like mass generated content sites because of how they look. But I am here not for things to look great, but to make everyone the most money. :P

Of course, I am always listening.

When are you going to start the Bodis 3.0 thread, Matt?

 

[matt_bodis]

Never. Everything will just remain as Bodis. No more version numbers!

But hopefully by the next update someone will like it enough to create the threads for me.

I think that's the answer we all need 'Matt. People don't need the looks of website on this tough time but what important is how a parking company could make the most money for domainers so they can keep their domain businesses running.

Bodis also count robot hits as visitors?

 

[matt_bodis]

We discard robots and invalid visitors from the visitor stats.

Thanks matt!

something is very wrong with bodis - i am showing close to half of the revenue yesterday and today it is only a fraction of what is normal.

 

[matt_bodis]

Today stats are delayed. Working on bringing it up to date as we speak.

There is definitely no revenue loss whenever stats are delayed as the revenue statistics are collected and stored in a database table every 30 minutes.

It's just the task that ports from one db to another stopped executing.

Your revenue drop is different from anything else. You have mostly domains that are banned from our primary upstream provider, and revenue will only continue to shrink for the tier 2 domains that are not monetized with our primary upstream provider. Not just on Bodis, but across the board.

All parking companies use the same tier 2 providers.

If you park only non-banned domains, I guarantee you revenue will not shrink.

over 30 % shrinkage within 48 hours - hmmmm - very strange !

 

[matt_bodis]

Hmmm, well judging by your account your visitors are down 30% yesterday. RPM is quite steady.

For instance, there are 500 visitors per day that is missing from your phantom domain, which is not even parked at Bodis.

If you move domains out then that'd be the reason why you have 30% less visitors, and therefore 30% less revenue.

Also you should know that approx 30% of all your clicks are from banned domains. Not that it has anything directly to do with the other 30% we are discussing, but it's still a significant amount and tier 2 doesn't have a bright future.

and if you would bother looking closer ,you would see that that was the lowest converter - the lowest RPM of all domains in my account - and it made only very very little - so the rpm should have been much higher and the total not much different - - but hmmm you are right of course !!

 

[matt_bodis]

I did see it. Just thought I'd get you on the last post.

Seriously though, aside from the phantom domain which accounted for about 10%, it is your banned domain name revenue. If you want, I can set you up a second account so that you can segregate the banned and not banned up until we get a folder support. This way you can easily distinguish.

eg 11/21 your banned domain revenue was let's say a 10
eg 11/22 your banned domain revenue was 5/10
eg 11/23 your banned domain revenue was 2.5/10

Before 11/21 it varied but usually wasn't ever as low as 11/23. We have a bunch of tier 2 providers for the banned domains. Sometimes the good ones either stop working due to tech issues, or stop syndicating for other reasons. Reasons beyond our control.

We, like Parked, have recently also lost a tier 2 provider that monetized a lot of international. It's more like the tier 2 provider lost themselves. When it comes to tier 2, it is rarely ever our fault.

But long story short, you can seperate the two and your life will be easier as you'll have more insight on what is going on with your domains.

We never make a dime on our banned domains. Actually, we lose money every day and every month since the incarnation of Bodis (for the tier 2 banned domains). Mainly due to all this time that is put into managing it. I don't think any parking company makes a profit from it. At least not anything significant.

issit possible to know what are the banned domain keywords so i dont need to move them from my curent parking company to bodis
