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!

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

We're about to start getting some design concepts for the renewed marketplace within the next few days and we aim to have decided on the categories by then as well so if you have any suggestions or wishes please share them with us now.

We're aware of 1 and 2 and work on getting this fixed asap.

It's been a month - how much more do we have to wait?
Both templates that I like still show my email...

You can hide the Phone number field from the Make Offer form

? How do I do that?
Also there should be some indication that this field is optional.

For-Sale landing Pages made easy, new designs and more!
It’s been a few weeks since our last update but I can assure you we’ve been very busy with further improving Efty and making the platform easier to use for both new and existing users. So, what’s new?

For-Sale landing pages: point and done!

As of today, new domain names that are added to your Efty account are automatically added to our parking zone-files. This means that all you have to do is point your domain name’s name servers to ns1.eftydns.com and ns2.eftydns.com and your For-Sale landing pages are live.

Pepper, Mokum and Rising: Three new For-Sale landing page designs.

We’ve added three fresh new designs to the For-Sale landing page Theme gallery and are collaborating with one of our favorite publishers in the domain name industry to release a few more custom designs shortly.

The three latest additions to the Theme gallery are:

• Pepper (with logo)

• Mokum (with logo)

• Rising (with logo)
  Easy on-boarding for new users:
  
  New users have their portfolios added to Efty within minutes with our new on-boarding tool that does a reverse Whois lookup on the email address (or addresses) of the user. If adding your domain portfolio to Efty was the biggest roadblock preventing you from becoming an active user in the past you should definitely sign-up for a new trial and kick the tires.
  
  Stay tuned for another big announcement in a couple of weeks!

@bluebox The bug that showed contact details on landing pages has been killed.

Hi Josh, it should work fine for .de. We did some upgrades on our name servers last night which caused some downtime. Maybe this was the case? Can you share one or two .de domains you have issues with?

Sure Doron.

One of them is Holo/Wear dot de

It seems the nameservers for that domain currently point at ParkingCrew, not Efty.

Already tried pointing to efty but keeps giving back error message; i just forwarded the message to you.

@Doron Vermaat:
As I said I am happy with Efty, with 2 nice sales in March, but there is an issue that you could address:
I keep getting a lot of clicks on Buy it Now button with most of them coming from people who have no intention to buy. Every click automatically starts Escrow transaction, which is then active for 10 days waiting for a payment. After a click I have to manually take down the BIN prices at Efty to avoid double sales. It becomes a problem when there are so many false transactions. Sometimes I even get several BIN clicks from one spammer, and several Escrow transactions started. And I cannot know it is a false transaction until several days later...
1. Could you implement an optional email confirmation of a Buyer before he can start Escrow? I have this feature at other domain sales platform, and it helps to eliminate spammers.
2. Could you associate the first BIN click with automatic change in sale method from BIN to "Offer" or to "Not For Sale" to avoid double Escrow transactions?

 

[Doron Vermaat]

@Andish We're looking into email verification for buyers and those that inquire about your names. As for 2, we will look into that too. Makes sense!

Help us pick the best domain name marketplace design.

Offering a customizable domain name marketplace and enable domain name investors to generate leads from end-users without paying a dollar in commissions has been one of the many drivers behind Efty’s success so far.

We are proud to host and manage domain name marketplaces for hundreds of domain name investors across the globe and sent thousands of offers and inquiries from end user buyers to our users every month.

Great domain names deserve a great marketplace

The custom marketplace is one of the features in Efty for which we receive a constant stream of request, ideas and suggestions. We’re listening to you!

A massive redesign of the custom marketplace is currently in the works and some of the many exciting new changes is that soon you will be able to specify your own color scheme, pick a background image from a gallery of high quality photos and last but not least showcase your domains with logos (if that’s your thing).

To get a fresh perspective on design options we decided to tap into the very talented design community over at 99Designs and hold a contest for a fresh new design that is professional, responsive and with great UX.

Here’s where you come in:

We’ve narrowed down 100+ submissions to eight designs and we need your help to decide on the very best. Head over to https://99designs.hk/web-design/vote-mwr6yw and leave your rating and comments.

Don’t forget to tell us why you like (or don’t like) the designs you’re rating! (And, yes, each will have a beautiful, mobile-friendly version.)

Bug report: in Insingts -> Landing Pages, sorting by visitors, extensions etc. does not work.

UPD: Now it works OK. Must have been a glitch.

 

[bluebox]

I would like the ability to remove "make an offer" from the contact form.
For some of the names I have a firm BIN and I don't want to haggle - "make an offer" suggests I'm willing to sell for less.

We're working on implementing email verification on all offers which should prevent any spam from coming through.

@sumosan There's a solution for this. Use the following format (on all your domains): http://www.efty.com/market/d/bandmanager.com/

Let me know if this works for you.

Very helpful. I was also looking for such "direct links" to landers, to be able to use them at "for sale banners" at parking.

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

Was it launched already? In fact, bulk edit of "DOMAIN USP'S" would be helpful. Can't see it now.

Overall, I spent some time on learning Efty yesterday and I think landing pages look really great. I say so based on years of constant testing probably everything, looking for best productivity in terms of sales. I expect great conversions and I'll be switching part of portfolio now to check it.
Simple, clean and just beautiful landing page can't disturb in supporting sales and likely helps, especially for generic names for small business / for people who don't need to be familiar with the process of buying a domain name, marketplaces etc.

Very good project Efty! Thanks!

I like the domain age feature though for some reason it does not pull this info for .TV domains - has to be entered manually. The landing pages look nice.
