What exactly do you mean by adding your own images?

You can add your own images by going to the Manage Domains page, then clicking of the domain name of your choice. When you see the landing page, click on the image and the image manager will open up.

From there go to Upload Photo, and you can upload and crop your own photos of your liking.

I take it there will be no change in the 'hue and saturation' settings ?

 

[Shammy]

What is going on?

This thead is dead.

No hue / saturation changes

No tool tips

No cpc accounting

Worst yet, no income

when does sign up page re-open ? it still showed Registration temporarily disabled as we upgrade our service.

Seems like things freeze and hang quite a bit now.

One of the strong points in v1 was how the custom description, keywords, key terms and header were picked up by search engines and led to sales inquiries. I had more interest and offers through the old version of Bodis than Sedo and Fabulous combined. Since v2, I don't think I've had a single inquiry or offer.

It's would be nice to get "This Domain May Be For Sale" links on all the pages. Even though the new system will be like Sedo's, having any system is better than nothing...especially when the revenue is not as expected.

Something odd happened with a couple of my landers, but perhaps I'm doing something wrong. I customized some of the content (which was indexed by Google with good placement, yea!). But I think I left it on "Auto" by accident. Now that content is gone and another set of "dynamic" keywords has replaced it, along with some weird content. A few others that I hadn't customized now DO have custom content (see bpacancer.com). Note on this one I didn't customize.

While the added content on the non-customized domains actually looks good, does leaving a domain on automatic put the customized content at risk?

Weird. Seems the thread has completely gone dormant?

I changed all my domains 4-5 days ago to AUTO to see what happens. I just checked a few of them and notice the same is happening as with your domains. Actually I found that the keywords generated by AUTO are completely out of wack.
As an example my domain africanbeaches.info gives me the following keywords here in Portugal:

• Nomad
• African Cup Of Nation
• Psychology
• Health And Beauty
• Debt Consolidation
• Investments
• Insurance
• Legal Help
• Beauty
• Gift

My allteaflavors.com gives the following keywords:

• Multimedia
• Music
• MP3 Music
• All Internal
• Dota All Star
• All Hot
• Mariah Carey - My All
• One For All
• All Star
• Refinancing

Now I'm going to have to check all my 140 domains to see what other surprises are in store!

Gof, if you hit AUTO again it should go back to your customized content.

How does the revenue compare to what it was not on Auto?

Also, the keywords optimizes over time AND by country. I for instance, see a different set of keywords in USA - unfortunately also not for beaches. But if the revenue is better or close to the revenue that was on the custom, then I'd let it settle and optimize - hopefully it can pick up the right keywords over time. If not, just switch off the AUTO button and then switch off the KW button.

What else can I say right now. There's nothing much to say, other than we've been working hard on our own management tools to help assist people quicker and easier.

Hopefully in a week or two we can get back to fixing our user interface, adding a new earnings report interface, etc. Registrations are finally scheduled to open October 16th.

I don't like a systems that auto optimizes keywords overtime. I've had bad experiences before at ParkingPanel. One of my domains, and adult domain, over time optimizes the keyword to Osama bin Laden. I guess the evolution must have been somewhere along this line. Adult movie >> Pornstars >> Actresses >> Famous People >> Osama. Either this or someone kept searching for "Osama" from my parked page resulting in the systems believing that Osama is a relevant keyword for my domain. I had to re-key in all the original keywords.

Is there a timeline for getting the "This Domain May Be For Sale" links up? Management tools are nice, but being able to sell domains is pretty important.

Ditto. Aside from still getting irrelevant sponsored links, not giving a visitor the option to buy my domain is a main reason I might need to switch domains.

I have to echo this sentiment Matt.

I've had several contacts via whois on names at Bodis.
I've not received an email from Bodis regarding any inquiries.
May I ask if Bodis is receiving inquiries on our names parked with Bodis?
What is Bodis policy on inquiries "it" receives on our names?

If it helps, we are can give you guys a temporary inquiry just like the old system, until we have the marketplace live. We can set that up within the next few days.

Aside from that, we have SO MANY things coming in the next 7-14 days. Both on our end and your end.

We are really getting better with our tools to help manage YOUR domains. We've put a lot of work into that last 2-3 weeks. So this should help us better optimize everyone's domains manually. But for Bodis users, what we have lined up is a bunch of things really.

1) We will open registrations for new users starting Thursday the 16th. That's our scheduled date. Hopefully we will make it.

2) When registrations open, the Add Domain Names will be flawless and you'll be able to import anywhere from 100-1000 domain names at once WITHOUT waiting more than 5-10 seconds.

3) We are adding in manual approvals of your keywords. This is just a way for us to help prevent high paying keywords being "smart-priced" by our upstreams because of the people that abuse them with non-relevant domains. So that should work somewhat smoothly. It will help us a lot more in the long-term.

4) We are adding in tour pages right before registrations for Parking, Buying, and Selling. I am very happy with what we have came up with.

This will all happen in the next 7 days.

Afterwards, we are working on a lot of things starting with the Bodis.com user account management. You'll have a whole new domain reporting interface. I am not sure if we can still provide a breakdown of PPC vs ZeroClick, although you'll have charts, you'll have referer breakdown, you'll have keyword breakdowns. You'll be able to learn a lot more about your domain traffic.

This is all scheduled to be available within the next 2 weeks.

On top of that small additions such as a domain search option so you can search for domain names if you have too many, and some people have asked for a Payout page where they can see their past payments that were disbursed to them. We want to include that as well.

So we have a lot of things on our plate, and take my word for it, we are always working on finding ways on how to improve your domain revenue. We have a small team, 2 people. Compare us to some other companies that have 200 people and I think we are doing well. It will just take time.

is bodis like imodo?

That would be great.

Question:
Today I logged into Bodis to find a domain with 14 visitors and $.14 in revenue. Then I logged back in about an hour to find the domain is down to 2 visitors and no revenue. This has happened multiple times lately. Is this just the system correcting itself?

Also I had a domain making a solid $1+ per day average in Sept, Since October 1 it has had NO visitors.... it is a VERY Generic term that has to do with the stock market and usually when the market goes south its revenue goes way up..... The domain is a type in traffic name and has ALWAYS had consistent visitors... why does it not now... Could the Bodis system be blocking it?

Also is there a legal way for me to check the traffic? For example can I have a friend across the US just go the page (no clicking) and see if it registers the traffic or becuase of the whole Zero Click thing is that the same as click fraud?

Thanks

I have the same problem. My revenue in October down 90 percent. I had to move most of my names for the time being. I had one name with lots of traffic that made $1 or so a day. Now nothing, maybe a few visits but nothing like it was.
