What they don't share is how many of the purchased domain names were from people browsing the marketplace, or were type-in traffic from the domain that was then purchased through their platform.

Could many of those sales been direct sales or for a fair lower commission if the domain was on a different platform?

Exactly.

It is impossible to make a meaningful comparison between a marketplace like SH that mandates using their landing pages, and requires exclusivity (may not list anywhere else), because there is no way to list simultaneously the same domains at SH and...someplace else.

The closest comparison you could do is to list the EXACT same domains at say, some other marketplace, using their landing pages, and NOT listing anyplace else, for say, six months, and then listing the SAME domains at SH for a consecutive six month period (or, vice versa, listing at SH first, and then someplace else), however even this test wouldn't necessarily be reliable, because what if a few names sold at the place you first listed them at, during the first six month period, and then none sold at the second marketplace. Would this mean that the first marketplace is better, or simply that the better names sold off first and what was left wasn't saleable?

It really doesn't take a genius to realize that a claim like
<<If my calculation correct SquadHelp sold more domains than BP [or BB]>>

or anything along those lines is completely unverifiable, and more importantly, irrelevant even if it were verifiable. Since SH is an exclusive marketplace, that means that names listed there may not be listed elsewhere so it's absurd to claim that SH is selling more domains, even if this were true, the domains listed at SH are not listed for sale anywhere else, so, what are you comparing anyway? You're not comparing the same domains.

Unless there is a way to compare the exact same set of domains listed at both SH and someplace else simultaneously, you will always be left guessing as to whether one marketplace or the other is better.

With these places that mandate that you use their landing pages AND be exclusive to them (list in no other marketplace) it is impossible to know whether the name sold just because of people landing on the landing page or anything at all to do with their marketplace.

Yup. Very few seem to know about or use this feature on BB. The concept seems to be a fail at BB due to the process being set to manual mode. Same concept is a hit at SH, in fact their entire business model seems to be based on this concept. Because it improvised. SH went ahead and applied some AI to the process, making the submissions automatic.

Can anyone advise me on the proper method of removing my domains from Brand Bucket? They've been there for well over a year, lots of visits but not one bite on them. I think its time to get them back into my hands... I just dont know how and I assume there is a 30-day window where if it sells then BB gets their fee?

just tell them you want to remove the names
they want you to keep them at BB for another 30 days

and then your account becomes marked
as
not in good standing
or whatever they call it


in order to be reset into "good standing"
you need to transform
ALL
your approved names back to them

lovely .. right?

I lost my faith on BB when I saw the visitor stats. There were two views on average per name per month. My worst names have more views on UD.

But I guess that is bound to happen when you have 50K + names .

How many do you have at BB?

I have 2 domains there. They get lots of traffic, but from where I can not tell. Are they bots or good traffic? Not sure. I've lowered, raised, lowered again, and raised and lowered prices again -- it doesnt seem to change the traffic nor has it resulted in any bites. So I think it might be time to get them into my own hands again and see where this traffic is coming from and how might I convert it into sales.

Anyone else experiencing a very quiet period at BB? I hope it is just me... I don't have access to their Slack channel, so can't ask other sellers there.

No sales for me so far in 2019. I know it is normal to have periods without sales, but this is the longest I have experienced in recent years.

You’re competing with an onslaught of hand regs. The “Brand Bucket” is getting very large indeed. Unless your portfolio with them is growing at the same rate as their entire offering, your sales will obviously go down.

I'm not sure how many names they are adding these days. But the review time is certainly extremely slow again.

I am done with brandable sites. I would rather sell my domains at a lower cost and pay less commission so we get a larger audience.

Having a decent domain sitting at $4500 for a year doesnt help anyone. People will see the number and walk away. You cant lower it in most cases and most people will think their offer wont be enough. I can put the same domain up for $2500 and get more potential buyers.
