Matt's not old enough to be a pessimist yet. :hehe:

the best post i ve seen for months now

Matt, if you read this, is there any chance the legacy management section could be put back up so we can at least check our stats? For those of us with hundreds of domains on Bodis, it is kind of disheartening to go for nearly 10 days without knowing how any of our domains are performing... and if they should be elsewhere in the meantime.

I think everyone needs to chill and get a life.

He'll get there when he get's there and all the whinging and bitching ain't going to change that.

"Chilling" and "getting a life" have very little to do with questioning the status of an update that is days overdue... While it may be that nothing happens as a result (Squeaky wheel getting some grease?), folks asking for the ability to check the status of domains that have been parked for over a week without the ability to check stats are justified in asking for a sit-rep beyond what has been provided.

We can keep things civil, but there's nothing wrong with asking.

Before you complain anymore ask yourself these questions:
How much do you pay a month to use Bodis?
How many other parking companies offer 100% rev sharing?
When was the last time Sedo or DS asked you what you wanted to see in there new parking program update?
Can you move your domains to another parking service during the meanwhile?
Once this update is complete has it been promised to help revenue, your revenue?

if you still feel like complaining here is an idea: Go Start your own parking program, offer 100% rev share, build it around the needs of a community of domainers and then let us critique your work, your deadlines, and your speed.

I think you are missing the point here. First, I really don't see anyone complaining. More like asking questions. For those of us with large domain portfolio's, making a large portion of our incomes from their profits, it is more than in our right to at least ask to be able to see the stats or performance when we have been in the dark for almost two weeks. For me, I make hundreds a week in parking, and in a good week upwards of a thousand. So for me, this long without monitoring performance levels definitely affects things. I would be asking the same questions with the other parking companies I use ( parked.com, fabulous, and sedopro) if they did an update and I was unable to track my income for this long. And the main reason I ask if it is possible to at least see the legacy management control is because from what were were told by Matt, it would be roughly 24 hours without stats.

Also, It is a major pain to switch the nameservers on large portfolios of domains, and for those that are indexed, it drops them out of SE's rather quickly. It's not as simple as just "switching your domains over for the meantime". Also, I was ready to move many of my domains away from Bodis, but then Matt said revenue was up 25% and the control panel would be ready in a day or two. So I kept them. But now, I am still seeing the same arbitrage ads but cannot confirm if revenue is actually increasing. All the while my domains revenue stays unbeknown to me. Once again, I'm not complaining. But for those of us in which this revenue is our livelihood, I feel we do have some implicit rights.

Stop taking the high road. You aren't special. We all have legitimate concerns.

At what point did bodis come out of beta and into a commercial service?

The two are not mutually exclusive, whether or not there is a fee charged.

I'm updating the Bodis.com in next 10 minutes.

 

[namenut]

Morning Matt,

Give us a heads up. Natives are starting to put on warpaint and stack wood. :notme:


EDIT .... Just a couple of minutes late. Good to hear from you Matt. Hope all goes well.

 

[JamesDavid]

I am looking forward to the update!!!!!

 

[matt_bodis]

Oh yeah, that European feed that we have now is the YAHOO EU feed, and it is doing good. I can't wait to announce new ways of monetizing domain names in a few minutes.

 

[GILSAN]

Greaaaaaaat! :blink: :blink:

 

[jhansen]

Bodis.com is temporarily down due to a service upgrade.

[Kaleidozone]

Sounds great!

 

[namenut]

Bingo!

I'm in !!!

 

[matt_bodis]

Phew. Almost there, just got to open registration + login.

Okay so what is the BIG way of monetizing domain names that a lot of people have not even heard about?

PPV = Pay Per Visit. (AKA Zero-Click).

We pay you on a visitor basis rather than click basis. That means your visitor comes in and is automatically redirected to the advertiser site and you get paid for that visit. Cool, huh?

Great, now I have to take a nap since I haven't slept since July 7th, 2008, and when I wake up I'll open the login/registration since I have to carefully monitor that as that will have a lot of things functioning all at the same time. Hopefully people get happy over the Zero-Click as I nap. :]
