Free for-sale landers by NamePros

Happy April 1st!

We have exciting news to share with you. This year, our April 1st pranks and activities are changing exclusively to adding useful features each year.

For our first April of this new initiative, we're bringing you:

• Free landers by NamePros
• Guide to free domain parking by NamePros

After a very successful closed beta with select PRO members, industry leaders, and Large Portfolio Holders, we're finally ready to share it with you for its public beta! Special thanks to @Future Sensors for going above and beyond in every way to help us test and improve during the closed beta.

Now it's your turn!

We hope you'll like what you see!

All feedback and suggestions are appreciated.

That could be added. Is that something you’d like? Any others?


It’s a reasonable concern, but we believe it can be overcome because:

Time will tell.

I agree with Nick - this facility could be useful if you include GBP

I think BIN and Escrow Integration would be wonderful. Escrow already advertises here so I hope that can be worked out between y'all?

 

[dirk]

I'm just thinking out loud here...

What might be cool is to have auction landers as well and have that integrate nicely with the nP auction section.

Once you have your API going, get auctions/sales pages listed on expired domains and you should get loads of additional traffic. Profit for all

While you're at it, start a registrar that offers below cost pricing for namepros members only.

You may want to hold onto that one for next April Fools' though

At the moment it sounds a bit far off, but given the speed with which the NamePros sales landers have been developed, NamePros could fulfill a central hub function in the future, to which registrars could join. Domains that have been successfully verified for ownership via NamePros can then appear in the registration path via affiliated registrars.

I also thought of a community effort when responding to incoming offers via the sales landers, where you can designate a few trusted NamePros members with whom you can jointly devise a strategy for responding to leads. These trusted members can do this voluntarily or on a small fee basis.

Such things are all possible because NamePros is already a community where members rate each other during domain sales on the forum.

I like your thinking. Paul is gonna be a busy guy

With enough coffee it should work.

In any case, it is very nice to see that the things that are now being created will not be short-lived, like the brilliant game that was launched a few years ago, also on April 1st.

To me this is more about advertising Namepros than making a sale.
If an end user click on Namepros link and see all the activities here (appraisal, domain name buyer request etc..), you will not have a chance to sell the name.
It's just my opinion.

Thinking it will definitely direct end users here which may pretend to be domainers to save some dough. "I need a financial domain budget $100" Looks nice just not a fan of directing end users to every domainers domains over just my own inventory. Would say once everything ironed out be nice to have a paid remove namepros white label solution but if it's on the namepros domain name no hiding that. This would probably work better on a generic domain name where free account=namepros advertising and paid account=no ads.

That would just be cruel.

We all like to have some fun, but NamePros wouldn’t mess with someone’s business like that. NamePros is a serious business, and it has been for many years.

Many of us working here are beyond grateful for it. Projects like these, which only a small part of the team worked on for about a month total, will probably help others see what we’ve always seen: NamePros is amazing!

Yes, this message is biased.

Oh well. Time for the mods to step in.

We hope that the NamePros brand provides some value to the landing pages. It is well recognized, even by people and companies that have never used it.

For 20 years now, NamePros has been showing in search results for searches about domains and registrars, including the household name GoDaddy.

It’s inaccurate to think that this community is a secret to buyers, or that they would care to learn about domains like a domainer when they’re tasked by their employer to buy a specific domain name.

From my previous post:

Buyers can be educated that there are cheaper domains available but if they want your domain name, then your price is the price. They cannot go elsewhere to get it cheaper.

Serious buyers will understand this reality, even if they don't like it. It's just the nature of domain names.

But, time will tell.

Waiting for the thread "First sale with Namepros sale-lander"

 

[Recons.Com]

A very commendable initiative. At least, shows that NP ownership, management, administration is very proactive and keeps adding to free services.

Regarding myself, I will wait until NP can provide stats about the conversion of those pages and how it compares to the industry standard ones. As they look now, I don't expect they are fine-tuned for conversion. A landing page should have minimum distractions.

 

[alcy]

is it just me or there seems more np emphasis and ads on there than the domain for sale... we all appreciate the initiative but u scare away 90percent users here with np written all over it and In front 84848 bigger than domain name etc.

 

[alcy]

u guys do realize gazilons of domains are being sold having nothing but email or phone of seller in plain text.. no serious buyer needs more than that to begin contact and whatever more u think they need is all in your heads...not buyers.

Thanks to @NamePros, @Paul, @Future Sensors and all involved in this development.

While many considerations go into lander choice, this opportunity to have free, SSL landers where the domain investor can directly negotiate with potential buyers will be attractive for many.

Thank you NamePros for yet one more reason that this is such a great community for domain investors.

This is far better than an April Fools prank!!

Maybe a dumb question, but is there a way to delete names from your portfolio that use NP landers? I can't seem to see a way where the domains and landers for my account are listed.

Or does one simply change the DNS and the system detects they are no longer pointed and will remove them?

Thanks in advance for clarification.

Some good ideas, from a variety of folks, got posted recently. But, this ain't one of them. IMO.

Domainers spamming the internet with parked pages is not a new, or user friendly idea.

Making NamePros a 'spam engine' is not wise, or a noble 'no commission' act, for an ad rev domain forum.

Odds are... ~98% of the people who land on them will be disappointed and a bit mad at it, and NamePros.

Odds are... Google Search will ban NamePros parked pages along with virtually all the other parked pages.

Implementing ideas that don't tarnish the trade, and get domains banned, is a better way to go? IMO.

Beyond the buddy plan, what standard is NP using when considering whose idea(s) get implemented?

Hi Bob,

Each domain in the Verified Domains section is clickable. A red colored button should then appear to remove the domain from your portfolio. Removing multiple at once is not present yet, but will be soon.

After removal of the (verified) domain from your portfolio, your sales lander will change back to a parking lander again, because it's no longer associated with your parking account.

As long as you're using NamePros Parking nameservers, the parking lander will continue to show, but you will no longer receive inquiries for the domain. So I think the best order to do this is to change DNS first to another place, wait a while, then remove it from your NP Parking portfolio.

Also, NamePros will periodically check if nameservers for the domain are still pointing to them, and will move the domain from Verified to Unverified status automatically if it's seeing other nameservers.
