Efty.com Review

[MapleDots]

I am thinking of trying https://www.efty.com/

I'm wondering if I can get some pros and cons from members.

I have almost 300 domains so these some of the items I would like to discuss before signing up.

1. Getting the information in via excel seems to be the best option, is that correct?

2. Do I have to transfer the domain to efty or just change nameservers?

3. If I only change name servers then I have added more work because I have to maintain dates and prices in efty plus watch my registrar.

4. They seem to be in bed with Escrow and the buy now function looks like it depends on that. Is there another way to do buy now? I have my own payment processing machine and I use it or bank transfers.

5. Are there any other costs other than the quoted monthly fee.

6. Even using the excel spread sheet it looks like an awful lot of work to get everything in when there are 300 domains involved. Is it worth the time and effort on top of information already supplied by my registrar?

7. Is there a similar service and how do their tools compare?

8. Uniregistry looks like it may have similar services and ultimately it would be easier to manage the domains right from the registrar but I'm not hot on paying a 15% commission on sales. Discuss Uniregistry advantages if any.

PLEASE NOTE: Stay on topic here because I don't want to clutter up this thread with bantering.

If you have any legitimate questions about Efty to add please continue the red numbering sequence with the next number starting at #9.

Have you selected the "Custom Background" landing page theme as well?

ooohhhh....now it looks so nice!
How can I change the "bullet points" in that landing?

Doron,

Great job building Efty to what it is so far. As soon as the landing page speed gets sorted out, I'm going to sign up.

One suggestion on a lander: What about something like HugeDomains.com?

HugeDomains is set up to convert like crazy with all of the psychological elements in play.

Thanks!

To me it looks much more confusing than the efty ones. But maybe it is just a matter of personal taste.

Hi everyone, as promised I wanted to give a quick update on the landing page loading times. We have pushed several updates live throughout the week that should result in improved load times. Please let us know if you can notice any improvements or not. We'll be closely observing load times within the weeks to come and make further tweaks when necessary.

Lots of great suggestions and comments in this thread and I'll get back to all of them shortly.

Lots of great suggestions

I have 2 more

- Payoneer Escrow logo on "Custom Background" landing pages

- The ability to leave the tagline blank ( This premium domain name is available for purchase! )

Thanks

Doron I have a suggestion which I think is very important and needed which is:

The option to remove the Make offer box in the contact form. Either option to remove it or rename it to inquiry. Also the " Make Offer" text at the top of the contact form should be replaced with "submit inquiry"

I say this as currently you are obliging the potential seller to make an offer always (this is not just with Efty)when he or she may want to do an initial inquiry and not put anything down as an offer and you can talk about an offer price once you get a conversation going.

I feel that this one change will make a big difference.

What do other efty users think about this?

Did you had a look at the UDRP safe and INDRP safe landing page themes? These don't have the "Make offer" field in their forms.

Thanks Doron I will look into those themes.

Thanks Doron I will look into those themes.

You can easily view them all from www.eftylent.com by using the dropdown menu in the top right corner.

Hi Doron, ive noticed that for all UDRP safe themes, for any domain names with more than 14 or so characters the landing page does not condense the page when viewing using your mobile phone browsers. Desktop is fine.

This could do with being looked at. For any domain which is longer than 14 or 16 characters, when using your mobile phone, in either chrome or internet explorer browsers, the page is completely messed up for UDRP safe themes, it completely stretches the page and everything is all over the place.

Thanks

I don't see anything in the top right corner or a place where I can browse through the themes. Can you post a screenshot of where to browse the themes?

Okay so I opened it after enabling VPN and it opened. I don't know what's wrong. Most of my domains are working fine.

Just tested domain landing page load times at Efty and they are still ridiculously slow and now it is beyond unacceptable. We are talking snails pace loading times as of today the 1st of August.

I am now DONE with Efty. That's $84 dollars down the drain.

Can someone please suggest alternative, fast landers ? (even if it is a wordpress site, i'll take it, anything will be faster than efty) I am not keen on Undeveloped (15% commission is a major put off) and Uniregistry, despite fast load times is not great.

 

[Doron Vermaat]

Hi, @peace800 and everyone else. We just finished a huge development sprint in which we pushed a lot of changes live that should result in improved load times. Would be great if you guys can provide some feedback on the load times of your landing pages during the last 8 hours or so.

Checking things out, I see the load speed has improved, quite a bit at this end. Thanks

I know now, that usp means unique selling point. The area where we can add suggestions to make our premium names even more desirable. I use indrp1 template mostly, and was wondering if it was possible to put the domain usp's on those forms? They can also be used for other reasons than selling, and I feel this would be beneficial.
Anyone else use the indrp or udrp and feel this would be a plus?
