The New REVOLUTION in Domain Parking is HERE! - Bodis.com

[matt_bodis]

Introducing the New Revolution in Domain Parking Services, where the clients actually matter this time around - Bodis.com.



That's right. We have negotiated the highest possible revenue share with third party ad providers, and out of this we are giving our clients a lifetime of 100% revenue.

Today is the beginning of CHANGE in the domain industry. Many of us are tired of all the domain parking programs that hone in most of what we should be receiving. The Revolution has STARTED.

As of right now, Bodis.com offers the following:

• 100% Revenue Share
• Search Engine Optimized Templates
• Customizable html title, html description, and page title of templates
• Customizable images for templates
• Auto-optimizable and manually customizable keywords/urls for advertisements!
• Simplistic and easy to use management interface
• Customer support that cares about its clients
• Customer support that responds within 1-2 days.
• And more as the program progresses...

I am hoping the majority is happy with where we are heading in the domain industry, and that everybody here is happy to see Bodis.com. We will be working extensively on adding user suggestions and feedback into the parking service.

Hopefully we can make a difference in the industry.

Aside from this, I'd like to point out a few more things. The lifetime of 100% revenue share is applicable to anybody that applies within the next 1-2 years. The revenue share may decrease after that only for new clients. Right now Bodis, LLC has the budget to keep itself afoot with 100% revenue share for another 1-2 years time.

Enjoy the website and feel free to leave any feedback/comments in this thread.

I think this is the crux of the matter and I'd love the answer to this. To say that quality traffic converts would imply that the revenue isn't computed until after a site is visited and the result is known. As far as I'm aware, that isn't possible here (revenue sharing rather than paid for the click).

Matt, can you clarify more without disclosing anything that you consider proprietary? For us running the domains, we'd like to improve our quality to improve our revenue. Without some form of metric, that's impossible. It would serve your needs and ours to improve the quality so if there were some tool (even a quality of click counter in the stats) then we'd have something to go by.

Quality traffic simply means that people are coming to your domain looking for something, and they are finding it there. Thus high potential to convert to a sale. What metrics he uses isn't really important. (unless they're flawed)

Here's a couple of factors I supect he'll be using as most of the other services do the same:

If your traffic is coming from china and they're clicking on links that say "buy realestate in denver", there is really no potential for a sale there. Thus you would have low quality traffic. (This metric would be advertiser demographic vs buyer location) Note that this same traffic could be high quality if you were running ads for something like "Get a job in a shoe factory" Traffic from china isn't absolutely without value. Its just not worth much to most advertisers on the other side of the world.

If you have 100 people visit your site and 99 of them leave without clicking on anything you are pretty much the definition of low quality. Given the example used before of EatingDisorders.com, if you are running ads for local clinics, support groups, related books ect, chances are people who visit would be clicking. If you're running ads for chocolate bars and escort services because they pay better theres a problem. (The metric here would be looking at visitor ctr)

If you have a domain like 1s9.com you are pretty much going to have low quality traffic. There is little chance that the people who visit your domain are all coming there for the same reason and you can target them with a specific ad. With a good name like eatingdisorders.com its all up to you whether you provide quality traffic by setting a good keyword or poor traffic by not doing so.

If you are using some gimmick to get people to go to your domain, then there is no question you have low quality traffic. This is true regardless of what the gimmick is. The people didn't go there and click on an ad because they were interested in buying that product. Your gimmick got them there. Thus the traffic is of low quality.

As for a measure of how good your quality score is, just look at your ctr. If you're getting 90% thats awesome. If you're getting 1% chances are you need to rethink your keword giving less thought to what pays well and more to what your visitors are really interested in.

 

[sdtrader]

This may sound a little harsh and critical but I am speaking in general terms and not directing this to anyone in particular. It is simply my feeling about this whole matter and how it is affecting everyone posting here.

I am a little surprised at all excitement this Bodis stuff has created. I am also surprised at the way people allow themselves to be victimized. I mean come on, really. Some young fella comes along and says he will "revolutionize" the domain parking industry and will single handily out-do all the established, well staffed and equiped businesses already providing this service. Bingo,everyone jumps aboard invests all their time, energy and investment into it.

Its one thing to put a few domains of insignificance to try it out and see what it is all about or spend some free time playing around with setting up the parking pages. But we got people here saying this is a business for them yet they entrust everything to the latest kid announcing his new venture that has their benefit in mind. Aren't there enough Registerflys and Kiddie Hosts doing this already to suggest that caution be used when operating your "business" or making important investments. If I was a car dealer I surely wouldn't entrust my car repairs to a backyard mechanic.

Whats worse is some would consider asking for reinstatement. Sounds to me like some people never learn or else are begging for more punishment.

Some have mentioned sueing and who knows it may be successful. However if someone sold me oceanfront property in Nevada and I tried to sue it would create a chuckle in court. I do not see this any different.

Whether a pure scam or a shady business operation the routine is the same.

1)New exciting scheme is announced. No more having to put up with dealing with the big bully you are use to. Get in early and reap the rewards.
2)People jump in head first without checking for rocks.
3)Things aren't happening the way they were told it would.
4)Everyone is reassured that things will improve.
5)We Believe!We Believe!
6)Things get worse.
7)We have faith. Whats the matter with all you non-believers don't you see what a fine job so-and-so is doing for us -after all how do all great acheivements happen without a gamble? Thank you so much for all you are doing on our behalf.
8)The lights go out and everyone is left cursing.
9)Despite the clear result there always remain a few unconvinced hangers-on.

This happens time and again. If you don't believe me follow the progress of the revolutionary green zap which declared it would change the payment processsor business since Paypal was a greedy monster fo asking 3% fees to run their business.

In summation, I don't think it is a sound practice to invest too heavily in
unproven startups especially one man basement operations. They can be fun and sometimes worth a small gamble but don't expect it to to be a winner very often.
Parking companies may seem to have the upper hand but when you look at the fact they have staff,overhead,and all the other things that make it all function such as hosting,accounting,etc is it unreasonable if they share the advertising proceeds. After all the domain owner only has buy the domain and point his nameservers. Of course I am suggesting a fare share but the domain owner shouldn't really expect 98% either.

While I am not calling Bodis as a scam as this juncture I am certain of its inability to
continue. Again lets face it, if all is as reported, there is a fourth rate ad server telling it to jump and it jumps,lie down and it lies down. To be successfull as a parking service a company has to be able to provide some leverage by saying we having a significant domain pool,do you want our business or do we go elsewhere.

Ask.com does not have an advertising base that can provide any kind of relevant ads
for serious parking the way that Yahoo and Google can provide. You're fine as long as you advertise credit cards and you can usually get a link for car insurance in Alaska.
But if your site is about Argyle socks, all your sock links take you to some online poker ads.
In turn the ads don't convert and the ad provider cries " poor quality traffic".

Eventually for bodis the end comes with a letter something like:

Dear Bodis Thingy;

We regret to inform you that all of our ads have been pulled from your domains
and your account deactivated. We are forced to do this because of our advertisers who demand that we trim down our accounts to only those that can supply high volume of members with a diversified high quality traffic. Members with only 300 domainers does not provide the type of traffic we are interested in ,
Good Bye.

 

[thetruman]

OK I see it this way. Matt tried his very best (and I am sure of it) to set up a parking company that suited the need of domainers trying something NEW and ORIGINAL (and it is). Probably (this is my guess) the business plan wasn t that comprehensive and this caused the disruption we already know about. If you are a BIG parking company with a huge lucrative portfolio that is in business since long time you will probably get better conditions of payment (net 15 , 30). This is not the case because this man has started a company from scratch putting all his effort and some good economic investment.
I saw people showing support and kissing arxxes because everything looked so smooth and easy and return was banging. Well I saw the same people spitting on Bodis and blackmailing to sue the company. Be a little more flexible and try to understand what this guy has been through on his own (as very little support he had certainly from the members). What probably is happening is that he is currently being payed on 45 days base.Let him process the payments and stop moaning. If you trust the guy, you stick with him otherwise you have alternatives, develop your site , put it on Sedo or whatever, but do not complain and moan for a 3 4 days delay, acting like a german bank manager...this is painful. And offending people dignity like I saw in the "firing" post of the past is very sad. If I have a friend that is going through a moment of difficulty I HELP him, do not dig his grave.
Sorry to let out all this steam, but if I was in Matt's shoes it would be difficult to me to keep that quite this long... I admire the guy

 

[matt_bodis]

Basically all features / suggestions that everyone noted - are in development as we speak.

The URL Forwarding is our #1 wanted feature. It is coming in 2-3 days.

 

[copper]

On the contrary, my PPC is very low compared to Sedo. A member here mentioned that he got $ 7 a click for a travel domain but I recvd only $ 6.50 for 10 clicks. I don't understand how this occurs. I have used the same keyword " Travel "

Even for same domain, same keyword at same
parking company will give different PPC every time.
I think it depends on which ad your visitor clicked at.

Another possible reason...
Let's assume below for "Travel" keyword.
1 advertiser bid for $5/click - budget $500 meaning 100 clicks.
10 advertisers bid $1/click - budget $500 each meaning 5,000 clicks.

Again, assume bodis.com gotten all of the above bidded
ads from upstream providers such as Google or Ask.com

Google may pay $2.5/click to Bodis.com for the $5/click
ad until it reaches advertisers budget.
After that, $2.5/click will not show any more on your page.

Page on your domain will show $5/click ad and $1/click ads at the same time.
Your visitor may click $5/click or $1/click, you never know

My forex names are going really low in terms of PPC i.e. 35 cents, but on Sedo 1.5-4 euros a click.

Every Domain/keyword PPC value is different at different parking company.

Parking Company A:
Vacation/Travel/Tour related domain - $1 average PPC
Stock/Trade related domain - $2 average PPC
Mortgage/Loan related domain - $5 average PPC

Parking Company B:
Vacation/Travel/Tour related domain - $2 average PPC
Stock/Trade related domain - $1 average PPC
Mortgage/Loan related domain - $.5 average PPC

Parking Company C:
Vacation/Travel/Tour related domain - $5 average PPC
Stock/Trade related domain - $.2 average PPC
Mortgage/Loan related domain - $1 average PPC

Each domain work differently at different parking companies.
You need to find best Parking Company for your domain.

But, in general, from my very short/small testing...
Bodis - Much better than Sedo
Parked - Much better than Sedo
Bodis against Parked? - not enough data to compare

Bodis -

• Still under beta (I consider beta ) and improving fast.
• Support - Fast
• Statistics - Not much with few bugs, but, improving.
• Payout - I am happy with stat, but, waiting to see actual payout

Parked -

• Fully functioning, mature and keep getting better.
• Support - Fast
• Statistics - Plenty and happy with it.
• Payout - pay twice/month and on time every time except
  one time which delayed few days caused by paypal issue.
  But, paid 10% extra for few days of delay

If everything goes well with Matt, Bodis will become one of
the major parking companies real fast especially after first
few actual payments are made to members.

Bodis Domain Management Process

Joe, I have noticed that on some of my domains I have a number of different problems with the ads, ex:

-Some ads are completely irrelevant in relation to the links
-Diferent links show the same ads
-Some links show no ads at all

Of course this only happens on certain types of domains, like soccer for example, not being a top sport in the US will show irrelevant ads. Ex. Last week I customized the LeonelMessi.info domain but could not get any ads about Leonel who is one of the 5 top candidates of winning the Best Soccer Player of the world award this year. Another example: I customized QatarSportsGuide.com and the majority of ads were about Dubai and Kuwait which are different countries in the Middle East.

Don't know what to do in these cases except may be wait a while and try other keywords. I have other other interesting examples but the above ones are enough

GIL

GIL,

Here is my Domain management process for Bodis. I hope this helps:

1. Log in to your account
2. Click "Manage Domains" link, located in the left nav
3. From the list of your domains, click on the one you want to customize
4. Make sure to click on the second radio button named "Custom Landing Page"
5. Add your Title, Content Title, customize the Content Text, SKIP IMAGE UPLOAD for now,
click on Toggle Search to "On"
6. Click on the "Save Changes" button at the very bottom,
make sure you get a green check and "Domain has been updated successfully" message
at the top of the page. If no, correct any problems in the above.
7. Enter your keyword phrase into "Left Navigation", then click "Create Links"
8. Copy and paste the list from the generated "Links" box into a text editor
9. Click on the "Save Changes" button at the very bottom,
10. View your site and check each link on left to check the ad links page,
if ad links are not acceptable, delete that keyword link from the list in
the text editor.
11. When finished checking all the keyword links for that keyword phrase, repeat steps
7-10 with another keyword phrase until you have 15 acceptable keyword links
in your text editor (remove any duplicates)
12. Copy and paste the final keyword links list from the text editor into the "Links" box, and
click "Save Changes" at the bottom
13. Select various color schemes for your site
14. Create GIF or JPG image, 326 pixel wide by 171 pixel high that is less than 30 kb
15. Click "Browse..." to upload your image file. If you do not see a confirmation message,
just re-upload the image again.
16. View your site and cofirm everything is as you want it.

 

[bradskid]

I am new here, and although I spend all my time in the chat room and not posting, I have seen a lot of people talking about Bodis. Good stuff, Bad stuff. My results have come in swings of up and down, like everyone elses. But I don't mind it. I am not worried, and if one day I don't get a single click I accept it. Why? Because there are 100 other options if you want to park your domains. Everyone here knows fully well that this is a community project. It isn't headed by a large company, with endless resources. You either put your faith in it, and wait it out... or go somewhere else. How many people in here can't stand Sedo? And that is one of the wealthiest, most staffed companies out there. And they still can't please most people. Here is a guy that put this together for the community, and everyone wants to moan and spit all over what he is doing. Get a hold of yourself, pour yourself a nice healthy glass of reality, and if you still can't help but go into a furious rage when you open your bodis account every day and you haven't made $20 the day before... re-evaluate what you are doing in this business. No one has forced anyone to do anything here, and as such there shouldn't be a single complaint in this thread. Just my .03 cents. (I took a spare penny from my bodis profits and added it to my .02 cents btw.)

 

[bradskid]

Honestly, I think everyone should just put in your keywords that you want, get your domains how you like em, and not look at your accounts for a month. Let the man do his thing. Let them work on the next version and do whatever tweaking needs to be done. Clearly other parking companies aren't cutting it for anyone, and somehow this one already has dreamlike expectations because everyone want's something that doesn't exist..... Free money. If you have domains that aren't performing well, then work on YOUR end of it. I don't know him personally (matt that is), as I am relatively new to this game, but I am a business owner and I know it isn't easy to get off the ground. Heck, it isn't easy once you are off the ground. But it is especially hard when you have hundreds of people questioning you daily and expecting immediate answers or results. Or knowing that your reputation can be influenced by a couple people posting negative things on a forum. Here are some things I have noticed about bodis though, and this is only my experience.. but I would guess it applies to most others as well.

1. Am I making more per click than with other parking companies?

My answer: I am not making ridiculous amounts per click, but the $.15-$.20 average is about 3 times higher than with any other parking service I have been with. I have only tried 4 total, but it is higher.

2. Are my pages getting indexed?

Answer: I have noticed almost ALL of my pages with bodis are indexed in google. My pages with sedo would get indexed, but never with a title I could choose or keywords and content that I could choose.

3. Do I feel like supporting a company that is clearly focused on helping out and supporting a community such as this, and is also being actively involved?

Answer: Yes. I would support such a company even if I was making less per click than with other parking services.


My point is this. Nothing is going to happen overnight, and anything worthwhile in life needs to have a good amount of work put into it to grant you rewards. It doesn't matter if it is a business, a relationship, a sport, ect. The same rules always apply. Domaining isn't easy. You will not get rich quick doing it. Even Kevin Ham had to bust his rear end to make it where he is. And he got in before it was big. I have only been doing it for a short period of time but these are the things I know.

I don't have all of my domains with bodis, and I doubt I ever will. Every domain has it's place where it performs best. But on a whole, 400 freshly registered domains at bodis made more for me in 5 days than 1200 domains at sedo did in a month. And these were all unoptimized with the automatic lander using the domain as a keyword.

And to matt, keep up the good work. There is a certain type of person that can make it as a business owner, and you seem to be the kind that can. I would personally reconsider the 100% revenue share, but you definitely have the vision and the devotion to make it big.

Thanks for putting this together. +1 rep point added.

 

[Varon]

Okay, some of you guys are gonna hate me for saying this, but as a fellow domainer with around 100 domains on Bodis, I too feel your anguish. But lets not start degrading someone's character just because things aren't going well. I'm not sure why we keep talking so much about what "may" have happened or what "could be" happening. If we are witnessing declining RPC's, just take a few minutes/hrs of time and change your DNS servers to a range of 20+ parking companies. I know that most of us have spent days/months customizing and building dream domains, but You and I did it without an express guarantee that our fortunes would stay the same. We have to expect uncertainties of the domain industry. It sure hurts to see the Bodis RPC start falling, but we always have other options rather than just hurl accusations at Matt.

Life has its ups and downs and Matt seems to have done his best. We were all praising him when things went right and now when CPC's have fallen, the same people are after him. There's no point to this. I saw my revenues decline to about 14 cents a click and I'm just moving my names to other servers. Hopefully, if things get resolved at Bodis, I will be able to point my DNS back. Lets just accept this fact and leave him alone. Give him time to fix things right. Give him a much deserved break guys.

Nobody forced us to join Bodis. Its just like the stock market, when you see your stock prices decline, you either sell or wait for things to get better. There are no express guarantees of performance when we buy stocks. The same here. The choice is ours. Lets take it this way or the other. We can either change our DNS servers or wait it out till things get better.

Lets have peace guys and let Matt have peace too. From what I know, quite a few of the domains which were on Bodis were domains employing automated clicking software, with many guys having a cash bonanza for the first few months. These guys literally killed Bodis. Its sad that because of the folly and greed of these few, even the genuine domainers were affected. But thats life and lets hope things get better..

Matt, have a nice thanksgiving day. Enjoy the Turkey and take a holiday break.

 

[verbster]

If you stand for nothing,you will fall for anything.

Your signature is exactly right, xxfireflyxx. It's time to make a stand. Time to stop groveling.

Great work thus far Matt

Are you kidding me? I've never seen such BS in my life. What's the matter with you guys? You should be outraged by this garbage. Everyone should click back and read the very first post of this string...then tell me what a great job Matt's done.

I think our member base will go from around 3500 to 300 in next 2 days. And after that there should be some really nice revenue increases. And we plan to keep our member base really small from that point on.

I'm dumbfounded. This is how you reward all of those loyal Bodis members who stuck by you...by perpetrating a disgustingly huge bait & switch scam? You're using scammers as an excuse to behead 90% of your customers!

I don't give a shit if I'm not one of the 300 for posting this. I'm totally disgusted.

It's one thing to begin over with a fair submission and acceptance policy; it's a whole new low to crap on the people who stuck by you and believed your it's-going-to-get-better promises.

This isn't a game, Matt. What you're doing is criminal.

 

[prateekj]

I know everyone is pissed with Matt, and to be honest I was too when I saw THE MAIL.
However, this lasted for a grand total of 1 minute and 23 seconds.

In fact, I would like to thank Matt and congratulate him for even conceptualizing something like Bodis.

This was the first time that I ever imagined Domain parking as a means of livelihood. In fact, before Bodis happened to me, I had only around 15 domains under my belt earning $15-20 a month. Today, this figure has jumped to an incredible 230 and I am earning over $500 a month only through parking. And guess what, none of this would have happened if Bodis hadn't happened.

Matt is a true revolutionary and a great visionary and I am pretty sure that his vision will inspire a number of new startups in this fledgling industry offering higher payouts than ever before.

Unfortunately, all great revolutions have to come to an end some time or the other and like the rest, I too am immensely disappointed with the fate of Bodis.

I personally hope, actually I am pretty sure, that Matt will come back with a bang in the near future. In the meanwhile, I would like to wish Matt all the best in his future ventures.

 

[npcomplete]

Hey Kate
Could you (or Marc) explain these figures for the non techie folks? I'm definitely intrigued but can't make heads or tails of it.

blaknite is basically correct on the geography part. Sorry for not explaining. These are called "best practices" on the net. The dns system translates the domain names into ip. The .de tld enforces this, while in others it is a recommendation that is not enforced.

I was surprised that a well known high quality monetizer like Fabulous.com is not following recommended best practice in setting up their system. I was not even remotely surprised by bodis.com, but fabulous.com was a big surprise.

There are at least two things to consider:

1.) keep critical services like dns geographically separated, so natural problems like storms do not take out the system... or a bomb...

2.) keep critical services like dns on distinct portions of the net from a "topological perspective". That means on different "subnets" (groups of ip addresses). Routing is done by nets/subnets so "router tables" do not have to deal with every ip on the net. Basically this means that the two name servers should be connected to the net in different ways, regardless of geography.

Both geographic and topological diversity are important.

The traceroute utility traces the path from your host to the target host. The target hosts in this case were the two dns servers ns1.fabulous.com and ns2.fabulous.com. When you connect to anything (like a web server) on the net, your connection travels through a large number of "routers" along the way that tell your packets where to go. In this case there were several routers along the way before I get to ns1.fabulous.com (14 steps). What was interesting was that the last router before ns1.fabulous.com and ns2.fabulous.comm was the same. The fact that the two numbers were only one number apart raised suspicion, but it does not mean that they were on the same network (but a good hint). The same router in the next to last step adds more ammo to that suspicion. I could do further detective work to nail it, but my *guess* is that we have enough to raise serious suspicion.

...snip... (correction/deletion - thanks Patrick)

This relates to what I was talking about in another thread about my work on DARPA Ultralog, which is a system for battle-hardened survivable distributed computing.

bodis.com: no surprise

Bend Over Domainers It's Showtime

Bodis, the parking company with the unusual name...... :o :o

 

[AnnaBodis]

Hi Everyone,
Just stopped by to thank everyone for the support and wishes. Its great to see a community that really cares about a company and its owner. I promise to stay out of the saddle for a while and help Matt with Bodis. So any questions about payments and any other support issues you may have can be now forwarded to either [email protected] or [email protected]. You may see double replies for any questions that you have sent while I was out because I am reviewing all emails.

Thanks again for everything!

 

[matt_bodis]

Custom images have been fixed now. Should working without that acceptable image problem.

Well, just like with other services, if you select something on one page and don't save it, then go to a second page, then the data on the first page will not be saved. Hehe...

The purpose of the Show All setting is so that you can make changes to all your domains at once.

Now I am aware that the simple layout may be plain - but it should be effective for many domains. I am already planning a revamp of the domain parking service. So far all is going well. The revamp should be make adding and modifying easy. And it should have 1 layout which is user friendly and completely automatic. No keyword necessary. But the only way we can do that is by collecting data of the current domains. So it may be a rough start, but this is a very important rough start in order to make it easier in the future for everyone.

 

[matt_bodis]

You must make sure that you have selected an image rather than just the category name for the images. Some categories do not have images. You will know that you selected an image when you see a Preview of it on the right hand side.

Also, for everyone: KEYWORDS are REQUIRED. You may add keywords when adding domains or manually later by going to Manage Domains > Click on the domain name.

The keywords propogate the links. Without the keyword, we cannot determine links for the domain name.

Content text title length error should be fixed now.

Adult domains should be allowed within a few weeks.

 

[SKG]

Matt, a suggestion. Is it possible in the section where you can upload your own picture if you can set it up whereby we can upload a video let's say from youtube. This would be great for media related sites. In a way it would be like this as an example, www.skg.tv that enom/demand media is doing. This kind of parking would be state of the art and a new hybrid in the parking model, imo.

Thanks and you are doing a great job. Your service is very appreciated.

 

[matt_bodis]

It is a problem with apostrophes and special characters in domain names. It will be addressed soon.

How is everybody's revenue?


Edit: Special character issue in links has been addressed. You are now able to use keyword "Best Golf Courses" without a problem.

 

[matt_bodis]

Okay ladies and gentlemen, revenue has indeed been now updated in our database.

Here is basically the list of things that are coming SOON from most important to least:

• URL Forwarding
  
• Filtering out search engine spider traffic
  
• Inquiries seen via user control panel aside from being delivered to email
  
• Referer data and click data
  
• Preview template option
  
• Support for IDN domains
  
• Support for international characters in content text, etc.
  
• And more...

So basically these things are coming within the week. Most other suggestions won't be available until the next version of Bodis, which will take a few weeks. (It's in the works)

was it just me or did anyone else get a PM from RJ about this.. than all the sudden it was gone?

I got the spam too... and then it evaporated...
that was strange... thought it was just my pc... lol

Anybody have the answer ?

On many of my sites I've been using 2 and even 3 pictures to make up for the lack of correct pictures for my sites at the moment. It's more work, but I think they look OK. I use Photoshop and they must be 326x171 pixels and under 29,2 k in size.

there should be no reason why we shouldn't get paid for how many ever clicks a user makes.

I understand how repeatedly clicking the same one link on a parking page per visit would raise eyebrows....but clicking four, seven or 10 different links on the same page shouldn't be an issue.

One of the most desirable features in a Parking System is multiple click payment. If someone lands on a good parking page and is interested enough in the links to click on several, payment should be given for all the clicks; surfers who click on multiple links to find what they want aren’t guilty of click fraud; they just want to find what they’re looking for. The sponsors don't know or care if other links on the page have been clicked...they want theirs to be clicked...they are paying for that possibility.

On the other hand, limiting the payout for more than two clicks on the same link on the same visit would seem prudent. So instead of limiting any page to two clicks total, limit it to two clicks per link per page.

We are working on lowering revenue for poor quality domains and continually removing all scammers from the program.

Hmmm....quite a subjective strategy; any "lowering" of revenue means it's not a 100% payout for a click as advertised by bodis and accepted by customers. I had hoped bodis was a place I could finally consolidate all of my domains (good, so-so and poor) instead of having them all over the place. I have many domains that don't get daily clicks, but when they do, they are in dollars, not cents....so one click per month on those make as much as some domains with daily hits. So which is the poor performer, high ppc with few clicks or many clicks and poor ppc...or both? The minute a domain is determined to be "poor," most likely all it will do is hurt domainers...what does it matter to bodis if a name doesn't make a bunch of money? Server space can't be the issue, so why limit any domain a chance to benefit from a very good parking service like bodis? Or is this a provider mandate?

As for scammers, it would also be good to see guidelines for this term. For example, (without a preview option when configuring domains) is it a scam to type in a freshly designed domain to see if it looks okay? Or is it just a matter of fraud by clicking on your own domains? Big difference.

Bodis began with the right idea and the best of intentions…I’d hate to see such a revolutionary idea become just another sheep in the flock. Do the best you can, Matt.

Ok .... don't shoot me if this is a noob question!

I have moved several (54) names from Sedo to Bodis with no issue... however 1 name... theblackplastics.com will not resolve ...it keeps going to the sedo parked page even though I have changed the nameservers three times (once to ns1 & 2 at Bodis and then to the GD defaults and then back to Bodis)....and deleted it from my sedo portfolio names.... and yes I have waited hours/days for things to propagate.... I check the whois and see that the nameservers have changed on both occasions... I am not using url forwarding.... so I am just plain confused.... :tri:

Name Servers: (Last Update 8/6/2007)
NS1.BODIS.COM
NS2.BODIS.COM

Total DNS: (Not hosted here)
Forwarding: Domain is not forwarded.

How long has it been? It has taken up to 5 days for my nameservers to propagate. Also, I can see your site using the bodis landing page, thus showing it has resolved in the UK. The time it takes depends on where you are and your registrar.
