Efty is here: Great software helping domainers make more money.

[Doron Vermaat]

​

When I started domaining 2 years ago it didn't took long before I realized I got disorganized. With a growing portfolio of so many domains at different registrars, listed at multiple marketplaces and parking companies, things began to slip through the cracks.​

I lost the overview, often forgetting to add or remove domains from marketplaces and in some cases even forgot to renew valuable domains. I needed a tool to help me manage my portfolio and to give me clear insight in my performance as a domainer so I reached out to long term friend and software genius @lionel_efty and we decided to build Efty.

Here’s why you are going to love domaining with Efty: ​

@pablohc86 done.

Wish I noticed this before, but I'm registered now! lol

A couple bugs/typo I noticed ...
- I wasn't able to add a .pw name with a dash. It seems like this creates a mysql error.
- With bulk editing, hovering "Mark 'Development'" gives the tooltip "Mark 'Dropped'"
- "Development" is not available in Status drop-down for single editing

Thanks for spotting. We're going to be fixing this asap and I will update here once done.

Cool, thanks.

A suggestion for the portfolio page, it would be nice to make the email address optional, not automatically filled from account info and requiring hiding all contact info to hide it.

This has been fixed. We will look into the .pw issue asap too.

We will look into this. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi, services sounds interesting, is it like Above.com? Or how does it compare? I want to give your service a test drive soon.

 

[Doron Vermaat]

@1NiteStand I have never used Above myself but from my understanding they focus on monetization through pay per click parking while Efty is more focused on helping you sell domains by generating leads from end users. Feel free to sign up and kick the tires by adding your domains and get acquainted with no limits and no obligation during a free trial.

Small update: we just pushed a much requested feature live that enables you to see individual visitor stats for your domains. Just open the domain within Efty and you will find the stats under the Marketing tab:

@dv82 thanks for that. What are the benefits of parking at Efty instead of parking at places like Sedo, Voodoo, etc. ?

Efty lets you customize your landing pages. Also, we do not run any ads on the page so the focus is %100 on generation sales inquiries. Here's an example of such a lander: www.bandmanager.com

Here's my thoughts on PPC parking vs For Sale landing pages:

We just pushed a bunch of updates and fixes live:

Efty Market

• The bug with sorting is fixed in the table view of Efty Market. Pinned domains are perfectly set at the top of the list, while the rest of your domains are sorted alphabetically, as they should be.
• The IP address of the sender of an inquiry is added to the new inquiry e-mail.
• It is now also possible to search on TLD’s in the ‘Search domains’ field in the top of your Efty Market page.
• In edit domain mode, when you set ‘Display on Efty Market’ to ‘no’, the landing page is automatically killed (gracefully) as well with a custom 404. This allows you to add your development and not-for-sale domains to Efty, knowing that they are for your eyes only.
• When using a custom domain for your Efty Market, you’ll have a sitemap attached to your custom domain as well (check the footer of your Efty Market for the sitemap link). Before, the sitemap was linked to an efty.com/market subpage, disregarding your custom domain.
• All inquiry forms and landing pages now have e-mail validation
• In settings > Efty Market, you can add an alternative e-mail address to use in your Efty Market en landing pages (header and footer)

Domain management and landing page stats

• While in domain edit mode, you can hit the edit button next to the name of the domain (‘Domain’ tab). This enables you to capitalize the domain after an import (e.g. ‘myawesomedomain.com’ => ‘MyAwesomeDomain.com’), making them more attractive for potential buyers.
• Last but not least, we bring you landing page stats per domain! If you open a domain in domain view mode in Efty, you’ll find the total number of visitors and the amount of visitors in the past 30 days at the bottom of the marketing tab. Also, make sure to check out Insights > Landing pages, for an overview of all domains and their pageviews.

I joined efty few days ago. I am having problem with upper and lower case of .com. I entered some of my domains in upper case and some in lowercase. I can change the capitalization of domain but not TLD. Is there anyway to change it? If not, please add a feature by which we can change capitalization of TLD.

You can now change the capitalization of the domain name before the dot. Why would you want to change the capitalization behind the dot? Can you give an example?

By mistake I have entered DOMAIN.COM in same cases and domain.com in some. Now two different cases of .com will make my portfolio look bad.

Ok, got it. The best thing to do is to delete the domains and add them again. As for now it is not possible to edit the TLD.

I know that. But it will be better if you give option to change capitalization of TLD in near future. Otherwise Efty is quite great. I still have lot of things to explore in it.

 

[Doron Vermaat]

@Jitesh Prasad thanks for the suggestion. I've added it to our list and if possible we can take it up in the next development sprint.

Can you add a function to get the latest whois info associated with a domain name? Like, a small icon when clicking shows you the live whois info, and asks if you want to update to it or similar.

We added this last year. Just click the blue refresh button next to the domain and we will refresh the whois info for the domain. Here is the corresponding blog post with all the info:

[1NiteStand]

I have an idea for a blog post you could do, list some similar apps to efty and do some comparisons of features, prices, strengths/weaknesses etc.

Currently I can't see any of my domains listed in Domains>Portfolio or Dev, Sold, etc... its just empty window, but Insights>landing Pages lists domains fine.. what's up?

I feel there should be a support form button or link or ticket system that allows me to report bugs or get support, although I am using trial so that maybe why I can't see anything.
