DAN.COM Domain Marketplace (Official Thread)

[DAN.COM]

DAN.COM (formerly known as Undeveloped.com) is on a path to be become the biggest domain marketplace in the world. We use state of the art technology to solve everyday problems buyers and sellers in the domain industry face. At DAN.COM we focus on automating most processes required to buy & sell domains to increase a more efficient and active secondary market for domains.

What sets us apart is our strong focus on product development and customer satisfaction. We leave nothing to chance and every single feature and element we introduce is professionally and carefully designed and built.

DAN.COM is ranked in the top 5 best-rated marketplaces in the world (According to the biggest review platform Trustpilot) and in the domain industry, we're the domain marketplace with the highest rating with an average of 9,4 out of 10 points.

At DAN.COM you will get the highest value for the lowest commission around. Due to our domain transfer automation, we can offer significantly faster handling of domain transactions and payouts (usually within 24 hours) at the lowest fee charged by any domain marketplace.

We've been the first on many fronts and proudly will continue to keep innovating. We were the first to offer optimized for sale pages since 2013, the first to provide payment plans in the form of lease to own and rentals and also the first and only domain marketplace offering free SSL on all domains parked with us for over a year now.

Commission on DAN.com is 9%. If you bring your own lead the commission is 5%.

Thanks for clarifying. Still would be nice option not to have DAN.com in the title & description meta on the domain for sale parked page hosted by DAN.

Let’s not confuse DAN marketplace (which has almost nonexistent buyer traffic and sales, especially compared to something like Afternic or Sedo)

Two Year review Afternic DomainAgents Sedo DynaDot Flippa Uniregistry UNDeveloped (DAN) marketplace
https://www.namepros.com/threads/tw...registry-undeveloped-dan-marketplace.1141640/

and what everyone is talking about in this thread, which is parking your domains at DAN and using their landing pages, where any resultant traffic has absolutely nothing to do with DAN.

Hi Xynames,

Which data source do you use?

For a company that's significantly younger than Sedo, we're doing pretty good in terms of attracting continuously more buyers directly to our marketplace.

The word spreads quite fast and our TrustPilot reviews show why buyers keep coming back to DAN when they need a domain.

We see some buyer brokers even exclusively only purchasing domains via DAN due to the effective processes we have in place.

The above is just a snapshot. 6 months ago we didn't attract this many buyers and in 6 months we'll likely attract at least 20% more buyers to our marketplace. We keep increasing our investment in DAN to increase our marketplace efficiency & liquidity.

Kind regards,

Dan

I totally agree with you @DAN.COM in terms of sales and popularity.

Since last 6 months you messed your search algorythm in such a way that some extensions(.xyz) would never show in first pages. All they were showing garbage extensions.

I used to have some good sales.

Now,I lost hope on DAN due to your favourism on some extensions.

My data are empirical - based on comparing sales of the same 1500 domain portfolio across multiple platforms.

Your traffic data might be including every person who lands directly on a domain parked at DAN - such traffic has nothing to do with marketplace traffic.

without removing type in from overall traffic, that mean nothing.

FYI @DAN.COM - If using an ad blocker extension in browser, the DAN "chat" feature/icon does not show up on the domain sale page. When the ad blocker (tested w/ AdGuard) extension is disabled, the chat feature shows up. Might want to change the code for the chat so that it is not affected by ad blockers?

It was already posted by me a few times - no any reaction.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

And their Chat has nothing to do with their code...
They use 3rd-party Intercom chat widget - which is banned by many adblockers... that's why it is not displayed.

Good stuff!!

Just closed my first sale with Dan (negotiation) on an inbound lead. Quick payment, and a fun seller experience!

@DAN.COM please keep installments optional and keep the ability to set number of installments as it is now, I hope that you do not change that.

Some of us do not like installments at all, or prefer few installments of 3 to 6 months.

That's incorrect. We process 6M uniques a month on our for sale pages (that traffic can't be pooled by parties like Similarweb) and 1,6M directly at DAN.COM.

 

[DAN.COM]

I wholeheartedly agree with you both. If DAN can implement Internal balance than its gold for both us and DAN too. It might turn some sellers as buyers as some of us might invest some portion of our funds in expanding our portfolios, which infact will double the commisions for DAN.

We'll offer the option to manage funds at DAN instead of cashing it out after a sale in 2020. We need to put some regulatory pieces together before we can offer this though. Since we're playing the long game, we first have to make sure we can offer that feature in a legal way (As a marketplace/Registrar, you can't just hold funds in escrow, it's not allowed).

When you send them a bunch of domains to add, do you submit any proof of ownership?

I only use their “live” chat for this purpose and it always takes maximum 24 hours (also on weekends). I do send screenshots to prove I’m the new owner.

I hope @DAN.COM will implement something similar to Sedo’s TXT verification.

We're first adding the ownership verification via nameservers, after that we will likely also offer a DNS based TXT verification for the sellers that manage their own DNS.

 

[DAN.COM]

They stopped getting my emails for a couple of months already. Now with every not added bunch of domains i need to go to the chat. My guess it's some oversmart spam filter at their side or whatever. And they are not going to do anything with that. The only thing that really pisses me off in DAN.

That shouldn't be the case. Can you send us some details about this so we can look into it?

@DAN.COM please keep installments optional and keep the ability to set number of installments as it is now, I hope that you do not change that.

We're keeping the current installment option active and are adding a new option for sellers to choose from.

The new model converts better and makes you more money because you can start charging a markup, but you can decide which of the two financing options you use.

Have a great day!

Dan

On to your next sale! Congrats!

 

[Ostrados]

I wonder if anyone enables this setting: "Redirect your buyers to your internal marketplace for sales pages"

What it does is redirect the domain from name.com to dan.com/buy-domain/name.com
chat button will be visible thats the only advantage I found for using this option.

Recently I started using this option to give potential buyer chance to chat with Dan staff in case he is confused about how buying works.

what do you think? any disadvantage of using this option?

 

[Bonsu]

@DAN.COM can you kindly let us know the registrars you have an escrow account with in other to make sales of domain under 60 days lock to be pushed

 

[Ostrados]

@DAN.COM

In landing page (of any of my domains) there is a list of most popular domains from my portfolio shown. I noticed that those domains get most views in a snow ball effect, which means some crappy domains will always stay on top of the list because they were uploaded first to my portfolio and got past visits earlier.

Please add a method to customize this "popular domains" list from my portfolio, I wish there is option to pick them manually.

Also it will be highly appreciated if we get more detailed traffic stats, showing source of traffic on the domains:
- External traffic (ex: type in)
- Internal traffic (ex: visits from inside dan.com)
- Organic traffic (google, social media..etc)
