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: ​

Efty helps you manage your portfolio, giving you clear insight in your performance whilst helping you to boost leads, sales and revenues. It is the starting point for all your domaining activities. Say goodbye to endless mailbox searches and farewell to eye-numbing spreadsheets. With Efty you gain control of your portfolio, make informed decisions, save time & money and increase sales!

Efty already has a myriad of great features. Here are some of the best so far:​

Custom landing pages - Your own marketplace - Sedo integration - Beautiful statistics - Easy adding and importing - Financial insights - Customizable dashboards - Mobile ready!​

Join our free beta for and help us make Efty even better!​

We’re working hard on turning Efty into the one tool that every domainer will love to use and we need your help and feedback to make that happen. Sign up for a free beta account today and please let us know your comments, questions and ideas for further improvement in the comments below or directly through the feedback field in the application.

Thank you Doron, I will wait for these changes. But please let me know if there is an option to edit landing page for all listed domains in bulk, perhaps I am missing it.
I do like the financial reporting features

Bulk editing landing pages will be included in next week's update. I will update here once it's live.

Better, Faster, Stronger: the new Domains Overview
Our analytics show us that with almost 8% of all page views the Efty Domains overview is where you spend most of your time. The grid of domain names that allows you to track, manage and sort your portfolio is the backbone of Efty.

I’m very happy to share that this backbone has just become a lot better, much faster and stronger!

• Lightning fast search and sorting of your portfolio on more than 20 different criteria.
• Immediately see which domains get the most inquiries.
• Easily export any type of data report to excel with a click of a button.
• When you add or remove fields these custom settings as well as your latest search will be saved for your next visit (when using the same browser).
• Last but not least: You can now bulk edit minimum offers, Escrow.com BIN prices and the for-sale landing page theme for up to 100 domains at the time.

Go give it a try and let us know what you think!

Thanks to Saro, Declan, Daniel, Rob, Towhid and Rod who helped us test and beta the new grid! It’s gotten so much better because of you.

Great job Team Efty with bulk domain editing. It makes working on large portfolios easier. Thanks!

I am VERY pleased with Efty and it's landing pages.
Within first week I got more offers than in half a year on Sedo and Afternic. :D

Minor issues:
1. Please note that landing pages Kiefer, Spring and Silk display contact email even after turning it off in options. North and HongKong work ok.
2. I get flooded with junk offers with letters instead of numbers. Can we somehow deny offers below numericly stated amount above minimum offer being sent?
3. Can we design some action after Escrow is started? Like a banner "Transaction in progress" and taking off escrow button? My client clicked Escrow twice and I have two escrows running...

Thanks Andish. That's awesome to hear

We're aware of 1 and 2 and work on getting this fixed asap. Let me look into 3 and see if this process can be improved upon. Have a great weekend!

Email confirmation would be a nice feature. I would like to have it to avoid junk offers with fake addresses. You can make it optional to your users.

Hi @sumosan
9. We already show the IP address in the inquiry email. When you check the inquiry within Efty we show you both the IP and the Geo location. I will see if we can do the same in the email. Should't be difficult.

Also, you still don't show Geo location in the email. It would really be helpful.

A few questions:

• How do I 'Unpark at Efty'?
• Is there a way to track visits to landing pages?
• How do we refresh nameservers/WHOIS or how often are these refreshed?

A few questions:

• Is there a way to track visits to landing pages?

Simply change the name servers for the domain that you would like to "unpark". If you decide later on to use Efty For-Sale landing pages again all you need to do is point your name servers to us again.

You can track visits to your landing pages under Insights > Landing Pages.

 

[Nerevar]

Desperately need the option to mass-edit the sales pitch, or at least to mass-revert to default sales pitch.

That is my question too. Can we refresh whois in bulk? I have 1100 domains with outdated whois.

I hear you. I also very much would like this to be implemented asap. I'll do my best to give this a higher priority on our development road map.

That is my question too. Can we refresh whois in bulk? I have 1100 domains with outdated whois.

There will be a weekly auto Whois refresh for all your domains in the next couple of big updates. With a bit of luck this is live before the end of Q1 already! cc @JRayers

Curious to know what is the best converting landing page at the moment in terms of number of domains deployed on / number of visitors / number of leads?

At the moment we don't have started analyzing any data on this yet but we'll surely will do so in the future, The most used/popular design so far is Kiffer.

Is there a way to take the Phone Number field out of the landing page? I feel like it could be a deterrent to someone making an inquiry. They might not want to give up their phone number, but feel they have to in order to complete the form and may just go away without inquiring.

 

[DNGear]

How can i bulk modify? like setting landing pages.

Hi Nat. You can hide the Phone number field from the Make Offer form but the field is optional, meaning the buyer or interested party is not forced to leave a phone number when making an offer.

Go to your Domains overview. Select the domains you like to bulk edit (up to a 100 domains max), click the "Edit Selection" button on the top of the grid and then click "Bulk Edit".

I did that. Thanks for your help.

@Doron-Vermaat

I did an experiment: I added a domain with a (supposed) renewal cost of $2,000 and purchase price of $8.
That decreased my Cockpit: Profit by $2,000. I though it should be decreased by $8.
So, may I ask how is profit calculated? Maybe it is a projected profit at the end of the year or something?
Thanks!

 

[Robin A.]

Will you be adding "categories" to the marketplace? I'd like to sort my domains by "keyword domains", "6 letters", etc.

I responded to your email. As mentioned we have a big revamp planned for all financial statistics and I will update everyone here about these upcoming changes when the time is there.

Yes we will. And visitors to your marketplace will be able to sort a search based on the number of characters, like max 6 for example. These are the current categories. If we missed any please feel free to make suggestions.

$domain_categories[] = 'Arts';
$domain_categories[] = 'Business';
$domain_categories[] = 'Brandable';
$domain_categories[] = 'Shopping';
$domain_categories[] = 'Entertainment';
$domain_categories[] = 'Computers & Technology';
$domain_categories[] = 'Internet';
$domain_categories[] = 'Recreation & Travel';
$domain_categories[] = 'Society';
$domain_categories[] = 'Sports';
$domain_categories[] = 'Health';
$domain_categories[] = 'Career & Education';
$domain_categories[] = 'Home & Garden';
$domain_categories[] = 'Games';
$domain_categories[] = 'Adult';
$domain_categories[] = 'Finance';
$domain_categories[] = 'Transportation';
$domain_categories[] = 'Numeric';
$domain_categories[] = 'Short domains';
$domain_categories[] = 'Other';

@korganian already suggested we add the following:

legal
clothing
food
pets

 

[Robin A.]

Can you give an estimate when the category update will come out?
