Hey, domain sellers! 👋

We have a special surprise for you.

Continuing from last year (and last week), we have some exciting updates to share with you about NamePros Parking Landers!

First, consider this:

You price your domain name at $2,500. For years, hundreds of interested buyers want to buy it, but the price is too high for them. They don't even try to contact you because they don't realize that the price is negotiable or may change. Years later, you decide to lower the price to $995. How many previously-interested buyers would buy it at this lowered price? You’d never know — until now!

With our new Buy Now options, you can finally contact those previous buyers to increase your sales opportunities. 💸

Here’s how:

Our landers have an option that requires buyers to confirm their email address before they can see the price. Once confirmed, the price is available to them and their email address is available to you. Simple and effective. Learn more on DNW.com.

Our for-sale parking service is 100% free:​

  • No upfront fees
  • No monthly fees
  • No commission (0%)
  • No upgraded account necessary

Could you give us more details about what you mean?

Are you looking for a solution that automatically confirms when you received the buyer's payment and then it transfers the domain out of your account to the buyer?

Let us know what you had in mind.
I'm bolting out the door for a short while but somewhere above the Afternic integration (like paypal/escrow) was discussed...maybe I added the 'checkout link' part as the commission is only 5%.

Even if we as the seller would have to create the actual checkout link and send it to the buyer (real time integration might not be possible) it would be nice for the buyer to have that checkbox option.

The problem is that Afternic makes their links expire after only 7 days, so you'd have to update the links on every domain name every 7 days. With just 100 domains, that's 100 links to update every week. Without automation, it'd be very time consuming, inefficient, and time prohibitive. 😞

However, your buyers can choose the "Email" payment method on our landers, and then you can generate the Afternic checkout link and email it to them.

We could add another option for a "Buy at GoDaddy's Afternic" button, which will be the same as the "Email" payment method, but it'll inform the seller to create the link and send it to the buyer, and it'll inform the buyer that the seller will do this.

Would that be useful?

This was in response to when we might have visitor stats data (on 5-4) and I'm wondering if we are close to having it available.

@Bravo Mod Team, please take a look at my parking/selling account.

I've had 3 or so offers come in (shows in dash) over the last week but I never received a notice on NP's...also, no email notification(s) was received.

All the names have a min offer required with one having a 5K min offer but the 'offer' field says unknown on all of them. Does this mean they met the min before they could attempt contact?

I'm out the door for a while and I'll be able to furnish added info if needed when I return.

✅ We added support for Google Analytics (GA) so you can see the traffic to all your domains – even in real-time! – plus demographics and much more.

Just add your Google Tag ID on the Profile and settings page. Here's how: Setup guide.

In-house and proprietary traffic reporting by NamePros:
Our own internal traffic reporting is coming next! It’ll be more simplistic than sophisticated platforms like GA, but ours will be more accurate than all of them at reporting humans vs. bots. 😁

Edited to add setup guide for Google Analytics.

"Offer: Unknown" means that no offer was made by the buyer, so the inquiry did not meet your minimum offer.

You will only be emailed about offers if they meet your minimum (or you don't have a minimum set), but we automatically inform buyers about this for you. Then the buyer can decide whether they want to submit an offer or increase their offer.

We'll update that soon to "Offer: None" for clarity.

Okay, thanks for the info.

It is nice that we have a data base of people 'interested' in various names. If events require a fire sale, these would be people that might be interested in a blowout price.

On a somewhat related side note, will we be able to delete offers at some point?

We can add some features to NamePros Parking to make this easier.

However, CamelCasing can have multiple choices, so automation won't be able to decide which you like best.

Examples:
  • GoDown or GodOwn
  • Nowhere or NowHere or NoWhere
  • ButterFly or Butterfly
  • HighLight or Highlight
  • SunSpot or SunsPot
In those cases, you'll have to update the casing on the domain manually to your desired casing.

We'll let you know once it's ready.

It can be optimized to provide 95% accuracy (or best case accuracy) with few algorithms... Like first check if it is the dictionary word/name. In that case, no splitting like ButterFly. Then, for cases like GodOwn vs GoDown verbs in the end could be deprioritized, as they normally aren't last in English. Some popular end words for word+word could get prioritized like Spot (whenever spot is the second word, Camelcase Spot, not sPot), Stop, Place, Market, Shop, Store etc. (probably a list of 100-200 words). Or really, could be a simpler and more elegant solution where the priority for two word interpretation is based on the use popularity score for those. I am sure, Sun and Spot would win over Suns and Pot.

StackOverflow #195010 has some useful code to split multiple joined words, using the Viterbi algorithm.

Your signature has a popular example of this, too:

https://trends.google.com/trends/ex...ughter","manslaughter","man's laughter"&hl=en

There is a whole other set of CamelCase scenarios in which we have to decide whether we want to emphasize the most popular version or the least controversial version.

The popularity score may choose the controversial versions, which could be racist, offensive, etc.

It's a dynamic problem.

Yeah, very similar to what you had with ButterFly... Butterfly.com is worth 6-7 figures, Butter+Fly - reg fee... But couple of algo suggestions above would cover this... "if domain is dictionary word, then just capitalize first letter".

Again, the goal is not to get 100% accuracy. If few algos can cover 95%+ the rest can be cleaned manually. Algos can be added going forward as well, as you reveal more and more cases which can be covered with another line of code.
