Go to the homepage of the website DNAcademy then click on the link right at the top of the page.

Can't disclose. It was news related and I was told by BB news names don't sell.

It is funny how everyone demands BB to be transparent....yet sellers need to be secretive.

yet sellers need to be secretive.

His sale did not relate to the BrandBucket experience. You are not investing into his company via listing fee's. It is his choice what he wants to share with you. You saying it's funny, is IMO, very disrespectful.

Not all BB sellers who report their sales here are as transparent as they lead you, and everyone else, on to believe.

Great news for you sellers. Before when you would search for a name it would go to a landing page that would then direct you to another page filled with other sellers names. How many potential sales were lost by your traffic converting someone else's sale when they saw a name they liked better.

Seems like BB has finally made a move that benefits the traffic producer only. When you click the Buy It Now button it goes directly to a purchase link instead of showing 10 other names to choose from instead. Great move for it's sellers. Many times a buyer becomes paralyzed to pull the trigger on an impulse buy when to many options are given. Instead of actually completing a sale they leave because they become overwhelmed. This is a monstrous step in the right direction.

I seriously doubt this decision was made by Krell because many times a sizable portion of those 10 names on that page were his. Will this affect his sales? Absolutely. One way BrandBucket is trying to possibly level the playing field for everyone and produce more sales. For once I actually applaud BrandBucket.

Great news! This issue has been brought up many times. Now, if we could just add our own keywords and categories...

 

[DNGear]

I find some keywords set as plural like shields,edges, ridges...If they correct it, it would be perfect.

Last week, i had one sale.

Adding keywords is a whole other issue that "The Director" uses to his advantage. Most "regular" sellers have around 10 keywords per domain. On many of the names I looked at Krell sometimes has as many as 40 or more keywords per domain. His keywords are double, triple, quadruple what yours are. You do the math, how many more times will his names show up in searches than yours?

Does this account for the crazy sales rate that no one else has? I'm no mathematician but I would say a resounding Yes. You can't look at names he recently added because he has not had time to add in new keywords. Look at his names that have been already in the system for a month or more and you will see massive amounts of keywords added. I'm sure we will get the typical response to not question his integrity but facts are facts. The screenshot below shows one of his names with 40 keywords. 40!! If he can have 40 keywords then everybody should be able to have 40 keywords also.

Agreed. I was kinda surprised with other market places that might reject your name but still ask you money yo list :D

@Grilled May I know why you disliked this post ?

I am electing to ignore you going forward. I have strong reasons to believe that you are on NP for specific reason of attacking anyone who has BB related concerns and I don't want to waste my time responding to you.

How do you avoid paying BB listing fees on expired domains that were previously published on BB?

I assume you email BB and ask them to republish the domain (waivering the $10 fee)?

It happens automatically.

If you try and add a name in the usual way and it says something like 'this domain already exists' (I can't remember the exact phrase}, then email [email protected] and ask them to transfer the domain xxxx.com into your account. I would also include a link to the whois for their ease. It will just appear in your account in the same state it was in by the previous owner (published or not published).

I am not sure if it works like this. I tried an expired name (not currently registered) but was once listed and the message said it was a valid name. Same message appears (valid) if you type in a name that was once sold.

I will be honest... your post was TRICKY enough that I almost considered liking it :P

I went to mediaplow's profile on BB, and I could NOT find another listing with anywhere near 40 keywords... Yes I looked deep. As of now you are using a one off example and pretending like it is the status quo... Which is very misleading.

It's always happened like this in the past for me, but send them an email. Julia, their support is always super helpful .

Thank you for looking into this @Domainzy Will you share more of what you found? Is there an average amount of tags per domain? I don't want to waste my valuable time on this if you have already conducted this study.

If we knew an average amount of tags, we could use this as a standard number, to use to evaluate against the number of tags our domains have. A general standard of uniformity would be helpful, in my version, of the ideal marketplace. There are always exceptions, but these are things I feel like a marketplace should spend their time worrying about rather than adding thousands of domains to their personal accounts without considering the ripple effects..

No, I haven't. Please feel free. Looking at my own portfolios I noticed that the average was 1-2 lines of blue keywords.. So about 15 to 20ish keywords.

I checked 20 of my names and 20 of Krells names on page 6 of both my and Krells portfolio site and krell had no more keyword tagged to his names than I had for my names - I have a lot of names with between 20 and 30 tags

I just did the same here. A complete random spot check on around 20 of my names and 20 of Krells. Same findings.
