Dub.io - A new tool for parking your domains

[Kevin Johnson]

Hi guys,

My name is Kevin, been following this forum for quite awhile, but joined because I wanted to share a news. I am a VP of product at Dub.io, which is a small tool that our team has been building for a few weeks.

We wanted to see if we can create a new (and hopefully better) domain parking tool. We've named ourselves "Dub.io" - nice and short. It works like this.

1. Sign-up and you will get a website - to which, you can of course point your domain to. However, if you don't want to, that's ok. We will give you a Dub.io sub-domain.
   
   
2. Once that's done, you can start "populating" the site with contents. This can come from RSS feeds, YouTube videos or just from the web articles. Dub.io takes care of automatically crawling these and inserting into your site.
   
   
3. Each content can also be automatically tweeted to your designated Twitter account (this will usually bring more traffic and also get you some followers). You can also set up so that it's automatically posted to Blogger or Tumblr sites too.
   
   
4. And of course, you can monetize it. Right now, we allow you to insert your own Google AdSense ads and VigLink code. The best part? You keep all the revenue generated from your sites. We don't take anything.
   
   
5. Each site is all responsive to different screen-sizes. We try to include a variety of media types like images and related videos so contents are more engaging. Right now, we are in a "testing" phase, so everything is free! We would love for you to come and check us out and let me know if you have any questions.

Would love to discuss via this thread or if you have any questions, you can email me at hello @ dub.io

Thank you so much for your time guys.

How do you make sure RSS sites show "For Sale" banners?

 

[Kevin Johnson]

@Adam27 there is "For sale" menu item in the parking site admin panel.

How can I promote amazon affiliate products with dub.io?

 

[Kevin Johnson]

@aryindey Get yourself an Amazon affiliate code and then you can add that to your parking site on Dub. We've documented it here

Is it possible to display a BIN price?

 

[Kevin Johnson]

@Adam27

You can enter the Buy-It-Now price for each domain if you click on them in "Domains" under "Sale" tab.

I'm assuming that was your question. BIN price will then be displayed in "portfolios" and "parked pages". For parking pages, we are upgrading it so that it's better displayed throughout the site.

 

[GoKaizen]

The BIN price should be displayed on Dub.io RSS sites.

Any live examples to view?

Hi Kevin,

I'm receiving lots of emails. Some of them are really important. A feature which allows us to star the important ones would be nice. Not so urgent, though. Just an idea when you guys have time ..

 

[Kevin Johnson]

@creataweb Sure. here's one - http://chesswho.dub.io/ PM me and I can give you more examples.

@Adam27 Can you tell me which RSS feed you're referring to?

 

[Kevin Johnson]

@NitroJunkie Looks like you're getting quite a lot of emails in regards to purchasing your domains - which is awesome! You're talking about starring a message in the "Inbox" right? Will look into this and get back to you soon! It's a good idea.

 

[creataweb]

@Adam27 Can you tell me which RSS feed you're referring to?

Didn't see any Amazon related links but thanks

 

[Kevin Johnson]

@creataweb No? Are you using an ad-blocker by any chance? I've attached a screenshot. You can see the Amazon affiliate links at the top of the page and on the right hand side.

yes

 

[Kevin Johnson]

@creataweb As in "yes" you are using an ad-blocker? Then you probably won't see any ads displaying. Anyway, the screenshot shows you those links. I suppose you can test by turning off your ad-blocker.

@NitroJunkie

It wasn't too difficult, so we just went ahead and implemented it. You can now "star" a message. Also added "Starred" tab in the inbox, so you can view them separately.
