Can I get some details on Afternic's "Expanded Promotion?"

[markfromslo]

Can someone please explain in as much detail as possible, Afternic's "Expanded Promotion". I know it's 20% commission, but that's fine, so let's not harp on that. I just want to know where my names show up, specifically, that they would not normally. I see the list on their page of some of the 25 or so partners, but where on those sites, and what are the sites not listed.

Does anyone have first hand experience with this?

I'm not seeing domains (marked as "expanded promotion") appear as expected on some of the partner sites which leads me to believe they may not all be fully operational yet or active in the expanded promotion program.

Some of the partners (like Register.com) don't have anything more than a "Buy this domain" button which forwards back to Afternic. And it's buried so far down in the results page as to have practically no exposure value.

BuyDomains actually lists the domain for sale (excellent!) and take the buyer to a BuyDomains purchase page. This is what I call a true partner, substantial exposure, and the value in this scenario is far superior to what Register.com are providing.

It's a nice program, I've had a couple price requests through it including one the other day for a nice .tv I own. It's cheap and gets your domains some really nice exposure, go for it!

Do you find it works best for high end names, or all names?

Also, do you have to plug in a price you'll sell it at? I've got 5,000 names and I'd likely just want to do it for about half of them, and that would take weeks to sit down and set prices and check off Expanded Promotion for all of them. I've asked Afternic if they would do it for me if I supplied a list, but I've not heard back from them yet.
