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 uploaded one thus far ezbabysites.com I will see how it goes, but I already like the fact you can customize text, and types of links as well as pictures to be displayed. I may play around with background color, but I am pleased with the results so far. Especially if its a site you want to develope you can state as such to hopefully bring folks back for updates.


Thanks!

Update: I have had the domain name above that gets 300+ visits a month but never a click. Already the first day I got one for .30! It proves that this particular model that allows for customization, is a much better option than the standard parking page. Bravo!

 

[zand_stein]

I hope to be getting my portfolio together shortly and sending it your way.
I got some ideas too

 

[matt_bodis]

Very nice - I like the idea of there being no minimum payout. Also, which TLDs are available for entry?

Most TLDs should be functioning right now. There are a few less-known ones that haven't been added. If there are TLDs that are not functioning, please email to [email protected] so we can have it added.

I filled the application and send it on Friday[I presume], got a response today that my application is rejected[adult names] and will be archived for the future.

Yes, adult domain names are not allowed at this point due to restrictions from our partners. They will be allowed in the near future. It is a work in progress. Once they are allowed all the denied adult applications will be re-searched and accepted.

so we don't need keywords. its automatic?
also will there be assistance with and sales. escrow servive etc . any auctions?

Keywords are REQUIRED. No ads will be displayed without a keyword. No assistance with sales.

Creating Folder coming any time soon?
I find it much easier to maintain domains with folder option

Yes, it is coming! I will keep that high on my list.

Matt is there any way you can hide payment info,i know that you have to log in to viws those info but i think is better if you can display at leat last 4 digts of them , you know information like bank account and routing numbers are very sensitive to display them out without hiding some numbers.
Hope you will take a minute to reviws this

I will put it on my to-do list.

Maybe I'm paranoid but are there any plans for securing the service with SSL?

You're paranoid.

I tried deleting some domains and got error messages:

1. Element 1655 is undefined in a CFML structure referenced as part of an expression.

This popped up in the middle of my domain management page and wouldn't go away. Had to click out and log back in.

2. Division by Zero. Had to click out and log back in.

Interesting find. Will have that fixed tomorrow.

Whats with the Adult and TM domains prohibited? Is this true? Not so much the adult but TM domains? Well everybody has TM domains.

Well adult names are temporarily not allowed. They will be soon. And trademarks, well ... no parking company is supposed to allow them. The thing is, typos are fine as long as they don't infridge on a major trademark.

Matt,

Would you please clarify the use of "Keyword" for the domains. You titled the field in the singular. Does that mean there can only be one keyword per domain? Can it be a phrase (multiple words)? Some valid examples would help.

I will have to make it clearer on the website then. You can use multiple words. For instance, any of the following qualify as a keyword:

"Games"
"Video Games"
"Web Design Company"

You shouldn't make keywords on the Automatic template too specific, since then the links that are generated are even more specific. Play around with it until you find the desired results.

Is the redirecting URL available to use my onw DNS?

Expect URL Forwarding to be an option in 2 days.

Matt, trying to add some exotic extentions, too bad i got the dreaded invalid tld error, please fix.

Please do let me know which extensions! PM me if you can! Thank you!

On the domain report, it looks like visitors(is that unique or impression based?) are cast as strings which makes sorting awful (1,1,102,2,24, etc etc) please try to cast those as integers so you can actually sort correctly

On the full report I'd like to see CPC and RPM as well.

Will definetely take a very close look at this in the morning.

I put a few traffic names on there, But it wont change over to the custom template for me.

You must select custom template radio button, and also use an image and have atleast 1 link. If you still are having trouble, please PM me directly.

How often, and when, are our domain stats updated in our accounts?

It would appear that all parked sites are 2-click landers (requires viewer to click twice before an ad, and therefore revenue, is generated). Is there any plan to offer a 1-click option (ads on initial landing page)?

How about providing us a status report? How many active members so far? How many domains? Some kind of indication of overall traffic, CTR, and revenue generated?

Domain stats are updated once per day for the revenue earned the day before.

Actually, the 2-click outperforms the 1-click landers by far for most types of domains. The only place where I'd see 1-click landers doing a lot better is very bad typos where the visitors would accidentally click an ad on a 1-click lander - and obviously that is not good for anybody. Advertisers get angry, our ad providers get angry, and then the parking company is left with smaller revenue payouts.

With 2-click landers the revenue is also better.

I guess I can give a small report since it is really OUR domain parking program. About 600 members. Over 4000 domains. So far, 3 days. CTR is above average. I remember reading somewhere where parking companies had average 10% CTR or so....well it is a lot higher than that. But I can't get into these figures, it is confidential information with Bodis and the parking ad providers.

I got some ideas too

Feel free to send them to [email protected]. Thank you everyone!

More tomorrow. Or should I say today, when I go to sleep at 4 am and wake up at 9.

I have been unable to select custom colors.

1. The color popup doesn't work. (FF,XP,Popup Blocker)

2. When you enter colors via hex code into the box, it defaults to standard on save.

3. Have sent you some tld's via pm, they are not working.

On the whole I must say, I'm quite impressed with Bodis.

The description on the first page is excellent, can use custom content!!

 

[goodkarmaco]

Thanks for all your hard work. I think this will evlove into something real good. Take your time and we will alll be patient, as it is in all our interests to have it a success.

 

[gnie]

I am not able to change template colors, too.
And I wonder how to park with white simple template.
Someone let me know, please

I think you change 'custom' to 'auto', that will give you the plain template.

 

[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.

 

[Kaleidozone]

Thanks for the acceptance email! Can't wait to get started this afternoon!

 

[Soheil]

Got myself and account opened, and parked all 68 domains on it.

 

[welshy]

Matt!

Custom image problems seem to be sorted, it sometime take 2 attemps before it accepts the custom images but it does work, however I am still not able to edit custom colours for the template, do I have to input the colour codes or should I be seeing a colour pallet to select, because I don't get ant pallet?

Anyway here's what I got so far, looks preety nice , will be moving the bulk of my portfolio over once all the glitches are resolved, Nice One Matt.

A couple of them still revert back to their old NS, but I just changed them this morning. I love the layout and will be uploading pictures more suitable to each of them, but I used my namepros avatar as a test and it works great.

Now it's back to dreaded other work and I'll be busy on Bodis again later today.

Now THAT's what i call a useful idea!!! :tu::tu: (rep+)

Also, the inquiry note when someone wants to buy a domain, it would be great to offer a brokering service that can route the funds & domain to the parties performing the exchange. However, if someone makes an offer on a domain, make sure you get a deposit of % of the offer amount. If the offer is accepted the deposit turns into a non refundable deposit, forcing the buyer to follow up to his legally binding agreement or lose the funds to Bodis (50%) and the seller (50%) for administrative reimbursement. If the buyer follows up and actually finalized the deal, the buyer should only have to pay the remainder between the deposit and the accepted total price. If the offer gets denied, the deposit is refundable or re-usable for another offer.
Shouldn't be too hard to do and would actually meant that we, as domainers, have a certain sense of security for once. - just an idea, though.

It is not possible. Please pm me the domain name. It must be a bug.

Are there any sites that offer free images that are simple to download and have less than 30kb for custom images
thanks

Find an image that you like (and are free to use) and right click it and save it and then use your photo editor to resize it.

guys I know is against parking company, but is anyway we can just give a hint which names or keywords pay you the most at bodis.I dont mean to give out everything but just an idea like for name you can say insurance, loan, medical etc. and for keyword you can say single word i.e "bank" pays better than mutiple words i.e "online bank"
Just a suggestion

 

[Psych101]

I took the plunge today and stuck a few names in. I must admit it is the most user friendly parking site I've ever experienced. In ten minutes, I understood it all. I am still learning at the other parking sites after years of parking there. ^_^. My question is, do I wait for ratification before I change the DNS to Bodis? Thx...
PS: No need to answer. I will know automatcally in a day or two. Thx for having me!
PS: Slim, I sent you an instant message answering your question. I deemed it best not to promulgate it here. Perhaps I will initiate a post on the subject. Use that url to get the payouts of all key words anywhere. It's all relatively the same at all parking sites IMO, but it's been more lucrative for me to put key words that people are looking for on my domain names (more ckick thrus)! Not what pays the most!!!

 

[Erdy]

I'm not planning to list any adult domains but my application was rejected because of adult domains.

I don't like adult domains. I have almost no adult domains. I'm not planning to park any adult domains and I was rejected because of adult domains. I'm very dissapointed the way this adult domain issue was handled.

Because I don'tt plan parking any adult domains I don't understand why I have to wait until adult domains are accepted.

 

[goodkarmaco]

I always change nameservers before I park the name as it may take a while for the name to propagate. The site is pretty user friendly. Have you been able to upload pictures? I can't seem to get that feature to work for me.

Maybe the click was from your IP block.
Upstream providers do block possible free clicks.

Also, the inquiry note when someone wants to buy a domain, it would be great to offer a brokering service that can route the funds & domain to the parties performing the exchange. However, if someone makes an offer on a domain, make sure you get a deposit of % of the offer amount.

If the offer gets denied, the deposit is refundable or re-usable for another offer. Shouldn't be too hard to do and would actually meant that we, as domainers, have a certain sense of security for once. - just an idea, though.

I second this idea but you want him to take on all the parking services and domain sellers at the same time?

Bit of a tough sell,

But if you are up to starting this, would really be interested.
Send me a PM and we'll get this rolling...

Oh,
