The DNS may be still propagating for some users...it is for me. Can take up to 72 hours for all the links to start working properly for all users.

You should have an option for people that want to continue using the old interface. IMO.

 

[Dave]

Its much better than before. :tu:

The logo still has "beta" in it though.

Congrats , very clean and simple interface , i will probably miss the old estibot interface since we went
together for so long but i can surely understand the need for this change .

well done !

Time to move on, the old interface is history. I do realize that it's going to take some time to get used to the new interface for those who were active users of the old one, but I'm confident that once you get the hang of it, the new one is so much better.

It does feel nice to hear that some of you got attached to the old interface.. thanks for the kind words. I personally had a love-hate relationship with it towards the end. The new one is so much more reliable and powerful, thanks to Luc's magic.

 

[Brujah]

looks great! I don't know why anyone will miss the old interface. haha.

 

[seotogo]

The new interface and results page looks great. Very helpful, so thanks for letting us know.

Wohoo magic eight ball appraisals!

Does not work at all...

 

[RogueWriter]

Wow, very clean, excellent job.

 

[MicroGuy]

Before I could do 500 names in the fast bulk appraisal. Are we now limited to 100?

 

[gazzip]

Looks pretty good and alot more professional although I have'nt played with all the tools yet.

I have a question for Esa and Luc

I just did a whois check for namepros.com on estibot and it shows the owners email address in full plain text, as far as I know this will make it very easy for spammers to gather the address by automated means.

Other places usually disguise the email address or use an image to show it which makes it harder for spammers.

Check how whois.sc does it if you don't follow what I'm trying to say.

Did you think about doing this ?

Thanks

Hello,

Whois queries for non-registered users are limited to 25 per day per IP just like domaintools and other whois sites. We also have measures in place to prevent bot and automated queries.

For registered users, query limits depend on the account level.

We are aware of possible spam risks but at the same time many of our customers use the whois to contact potential buyers or to copy-paste the results into other applications. Having a non-cloaked email is time saving and more efficient than typing the email into another client and possibly making a typo.

Thanks for the suggestion however. I have considered using an image cloak a few times but chose not to so customers can more efficiently utilize the tool.

Nonetheless, if we notice abuse you can be sure that we will introduce it.

Thanks!

 

[gazzip]

Hi, So will all the whois searches that are peformed be indexed by Google or will it be blocked ?

Thanks



.

 

[Luc]

All the whois searches are private, just like all domain appraisals and everything else done on our site.

The only way to get a whois record crawled by Google is to link directly to the whois result page, but we have NOINDEX and NOFOLLOW in the whois output so if Google respects that, they should not index the page.

Thanks,
Luc

Thats great :tu:
I really don't like it when all you have to do in google is put someones email address in to see a list of all the domain names they own, in fact it sucks and I would think there could be potential legal issues (in some countries) regarding peoples right to privacy.

Nice to see you've considered it by putting in NOINDEX....let's hope it works !

Thanks and good luck with it :tu:

Are people here interested in real valuation metrics? It's strange that no one discusses the underlying variables that feed into a true valuation. There are many relevant and complicated factors that play into a comprehensive valuation. Comps of past sales is a consideration ... but a fairly weak one.

Estibot's author has created an interesting device, but people are putting blinders on in their endorsement of it. It's worth repeating estibot's disclaimer (below) before the gullible start putting stock in this. There are an alarming number of people beginning to quote estibot in the forums. Like an impressionable kid becoming indoctrinated to crazy Farrakan ramblings. Propaganda becomes reality ... if it goes unchallenged.

Estibot Disclaimer

The dollar valuation is not to be taken literally - it may change, and it is only an aggregate of the various metrics. Do not make a purchase or sale decisions based on this appraisal.

I love being able to use my old user name, but when you sign in, you have to search all over the place for tools.

Why not offer the search box just after log in?
