Bodis have got rid of the orange strip, the only options are now the tiny little text or the blue strip where the text is practically unreadable

Confirmed. Unreadable. So it is either unintentional design downgrade OR bodis is trying to minimize sales (= more parked domains in a long run).

yep they got rid of it. apparently affected ad clicking .. well now the blue one might affect sales.

The worst thing is, they sneaked it in over the last few days rather than announcing it.

Very revealing. But of course, why would they announce something that they knew would be upsetting to their customers?

From [email protected] after I told him we were leaving after years of parking at Bodis:
============
Hi Alan,

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your business and your honesty therein and wish you all the best for the test. Ultimately, you must always do what you think is best for your domains.

Wishing you a nice evening!
=============

I then told him @ParkingCrew had some great lander options @ParkingCrew to which he replied:

===============

Give them a whirl and let me know!

================
You have been warned Domainers!

Hello @domainer111,

We do apologize for removing the 'Penetrating' sale banner, without providing adequate notice beforehand. However, it was our intention to begin removing any sales options/features that have been getting little or no usage over the past 12 months, before we begin implementing some major new updates to our sales features later this year. The 'Penetrating' sale banner option was said to have only been used with <0.1% of domain names, and so this option was bound to be removed before work on our new features begin.

Also, I have been in contact with James regarding your post, and he mentioned that he had offered to implement a fully customised sale banner for you, with your own choice of HTML script in the meantime. It seems you chose not to avail of this offer, instead opting to issue an ultimatum to reimplement the 'Penetrating' sale banner within 24 hours, before dropping an offensive expletive.

Regardless of this unfortunate situation, we fully respect your final decision to explore other domain parking opportunities elsewhere.

Thanks.

Sales link lowers CTR own experience. who wants to buy a domain can find the contact via whois.

All you had to do was make the text on the light blue banner more readable. That would have fixed it. James did suggest the own hosted solution.

However, he then added that that particular solution could not be added to different folders, implying it's a global change.

It's a very messy solution. He sent two examples; one of them was not coded for the mobile, just one of many issues that arises with this. You'd have to be continuosly testing it, and of course you use the ability to set different messages.

we will sell 2-3 domains per month through who is.

this means u would sell 30 with banner. anyone who relies only on whois to sell is asylum material. gl

Hello @domainer111,

Yes, that's correct. Unfortunately, the banner script does have its limitations, as we generally only reserve this option for domain registrars.

However, until our new sales features go live, it is unlikely that we'll be making any other changes to our sale banners in the meantime.

Thanks.

Hello @alcy,

I'm afraid that I'm not at liberty to discuss the specific changes that we have in store, but I believe our users will be very satisfied with what's to come.

Thanks.

they kinda said they never announced it. we need to bury that banner.. I dont think bodis has habit of going back on decisions.. not that kinda company. well let's look forward to updates.. I think bodis announced one for like a year ago so it seems we are a year late. bodis is still my number one... with only one alternative at park crew with their awful.unfriendly ui which on mobile is basically unusable... and their revenue distributions model which favors those who make mo money for them... well.. bodis is last worthy player in this game for me. fno competition can be good or bad for us... but I'm sure bodis is feeling good about it

Yep, if you want to look after your own leads, the options are shrinking! It's basically just Bodis and PC? I emailed above.com not sure they have anything.

Definite issues with mobile on PC, if you use long text in your sales strip.

Think of all the options we've lost: DomainSponsor, Uni, Voodoo/Parked .. could possibly be an opportunity to build something from scratch, domainer led? Complete transparency on revenues would go down well.

 

[Mister Funsky]

Okay, so what's up a bodis?

First the camel case goes away. Then the banner options have been limited. After that, special wording can no longer be added.

Now, there has not been an update (for me at least) since about the 15th.

 

[alcy]

looks like bodis listened and made the banner more readable now so tnx for that..

 

[domainer111]

Common sense prevails.
