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.

have stats been updated today?

Not yet.

 

[yusoab]

wow

i'm so glad i trusted my gut feeling and only tested the waters at bodis with a few domains. i too have traffic domains from many countries as well as typos, many of those obviously have trademark issues. i also have a very large portfolio of dropped domains and god only knows where that traffic is coming from. i just don't have the time to be tracking traffic from 5000 domains. i'll keep my generics and domains i'm 100% sure have north american traffic but only as testers. a 10 or 20% gain in revenue isn't worth
losing a month or two of income on hundreds or thousands of domains.

now i'll just hope for the best that my typos and dropped domains didn't cause my account to be deleted along with my income. not a good feeling inside right now...

Must be alot of people right now freakin out everytime they check there Email.

Good job Matt.
Those of us who have quality traffic do not receive the payouts we deserve because advertisers are afraid of suspect traffic and outright fraud. So the tougher you get on fraud, advertisers will have less qualms about paying more per click.
You'll always have complainers, but numbers speak louder than words. If you're able to produce high payouts (by convincing advertisers that 98% of Bodis traffic is legit) you'll have good portfolio owners dying to get into Bodis.

1 Oct : stats updated.

 

[Fka200]

LOL. Yes. I'm hoping that the e-mails have already been sent out... super afraid. Large amounts of domains = possibility your traffic might not be good enough. Although I play by the rules 100%, I'm still little scared. I really love Bodis :D.

Interestingly enough comicbookguy when I saw the email notification of your post in gmail, the web clip in the header was "Dictionary.com Word of the Day - mendacious: untruthful; also, untrue."

I'm guessing that Matt has been bitten by some mendacious behaviour from some of the people using his service.

Matt, I can understand why you need to clean up this service because if you don't the advertisers will cut the feed and then none of us will get any money. On the other hand, you need to remember that most of us here are honest & you can't just go assuming that all your suppliers are engaging in fraud.

A bit more transparency on the criteria for suspending accounts for reasons other than fraud would be appreciated. So far we know that Japanese are banned. What else?

 

[StantheMan]

It's really upsetting

I have really worked hard to optimize my landing pages. I have hand-edited about 100 domains and have been excited to see the site develop.

This is really upsetting, I haven't done anything to the traffic. If I have some domains that are a problem, I would like to get rid of them.

I was one of the first to log in and share ideas to develop the pages, so this is really upsetting to me. I have really worked hard at these sites.

I'm just floored. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.

I totally agree but maybe these domains should have been banned and not the persons entire account. Its hard to understand when you dont know what you did wrong and then you might have hundreds of dollars you were expecting and your not getting it now. I expect as the night goes on there will be alot of post complaining about getting terminated. I do understand there frustration as they dont actually know what they did and they are now not part of this great Parking Company -Bodis.

 

[CoolMark]

I'm one of the lucky ones, my account is still working. I know my domains all comply with the rules, no TM's, no porno etc, but what's this supposed to mean???

If you have domains that have bad traffic and bad domains, you will be banned but revenue will still be dispersed.

If you have good traffic domains, you will stay.

I didn't see that in the terms when I signed up :hehe:

Matt, if you're going to be that vague you could at least invite us all to submit our ID's to have the domains checked by you or someone else in the know. We should have the chance to remove any domains that may have bad traffic voluntarily and the only way we can possibly know is if you tell us which ones are bad.

I've got loads more domains that I haven't moved over to Bodis, some because they aren't suitable, and others because I haven't had time. The way things are at the moment I'm not going to chance it, they might be good, they might be bad, I don't know.

I think all my domains are good, but presumably other people think theirs are good too.

We need to know what's good and what's bad, that's all there is to it.

 

[Makis.TV]

There is a lot of unacceptable domains parked that are bringing in clicks from the wrong places.

Hello Matt, does unacceptable means fraud clicking or something else?

 

[StantheMan]

I agree about getting rid of click fraud

I also own a small business, and have done some online advertising. I once came home and found that I had spent $800 in advertising on that day - and had no clicks. I had to eliminate several countries after that - so I hate click fraud as well.

But I never thought I would be accused of it!

I have hundreds of hours in optimizing these domains. I ahve a lot of expired names that I have bought. I go through a process of checking the backilinks to make sure they are from genuine websites (not sites just made for links). I then check the words in the back link - so I can match what that person is looking for - and then you have a good match with the consumer and the advertiser. I then check the wayback machine to make sure it was a legitimate site - and that it hasn't just been parked for a long time. Again, i try and match the content - although sometimes I expand it a little. I then try and create a graphic appeal - many times I can create a better looking site than the original. I then write unique content to put on the front page and make use of the right keywords in the text. I basically have been treating them like a small mini-site. Some of my sites have a high conversion rate because they are precisely what was being searched for and does not look like a parking page.

If you looked at my domains, you would see that I have hundreds of hours invested. Why would I cheat and jeopardize all of my own efforts.

This is really depressing, because I have worked so hard - to have it just taken away.

 

[gorilla_bob]

From my understanding of everything so far:

There seems to be alot of pressure from the ad provider for Bodis to make sure that their parking service is getting legitamate traffic. These are traffic that have a high chance of converting because they are either generic or have good type-in potential.

If Bodis fails to weed out this traffic, there is a high risk that the ad provider will cut streams altogether--thus ending Bodis and it's services.


I also am under the assumption that alot of the reduced CPC and CTR have been because Bodis in the last several days have initiated a fraud tracking system in order to monitor fraudulent activities on it's network. Once the fraud audit has been done, I am assuming that revenue will go back to it's norm if not even higher at the levels seen in August and early September.

I really hope that this is the case.

If Bodis is truly a one man show, it would be very difficult if not impossible for Matt to try to weed through each portfolio's owners domains and judge each domain whether or not it has potential to be of fraudelent nature.

I think what is happening now is that we are seeing the character of Bodis...for better or for worse... it is a "one man show". With this in mind, only so much can be done. Because of the resource constraints, Bodis is now trimming it's services to only what Bodis determines to be high quality portfolios at it's sole discretion.

From reading Bodis' TOS, it's worded in such a way where Bodis can do whatever they feel like.

" * The Program reserves the right to terminate any agreement at their discretion at any time....
The Program reserves the right to change any of these terms and conditions at any time without notice. "

The above should ring true to nullify any rights that anyone thinks they have on this parking platform. It's not deceptive, most companies have such type of loose open ending TOS in order to protect themselves.

The point here is that Bodis is postioning itself now to only reserve it's services for high quality domain portfolios at it's discretion.

I think it's a smart move given the pressures and constraints that Bodis currently faces, but it does leave the door open for another parking service to come in and take hold of services for those left outside. Only time will tell if another parking service comes in and scoops up the customers where Bodis leaves out.

hello,
my all domains are directed for visitors come from google.You have to pay money , it is not right !

 

[RaiderGirl]

They will just go back to where they were parking before.

Moving to a new provider is like moving your money to a new bank, You have to start building trust with that bank all over again, the new bank has no idea who you are and is less likely to give you the benefit of the doubt, thereby closing your account if your found to be in violation of its policies.

 

[gorilla_bob]

Raider,

That's pretty true. I'm just thinking that with the inception of Bodis, the industry has taken notice, and that there is still room for a brand new parking company to take over where Bodis leaves behind.

Bodis as their motto states, did start a new revolution, and I'm hoping that some internet pioneers can step into the shoes as well and really rock the industry.

Oh boy :td: :td:

 

[Popusearch]

Can we assume the money raised by the terminated accounts will be refunded to the advertisers? If not who gets it?

 

[Dombuyer]

If you have been using Adwords or some other method of gaining revenue, you will be banned with withheld revenue.

If you have domains that have bad traffic and bad domains, you will be banned but revenue will still be dispersed.

If you have good traffic domains, you will stay.

And from now on only high quality portfolio applicants will be accepted into the parking program.

And yet I applied weeks ago and still haven't heard a thing from you, despite having one of the best high end generic portfolios in the business. It's truly laughable Matt. I was anxious to see what you're doing, but if you can't see which portfolios you should court and which you shouldn't, you're not approaching this sensibly.

 

[VirtualT]

We need to know what's good and what's bad, that's all there is to it.

Good traffic is reasonably targeted and monetizes well for the advertiser ie natural type in traffic

Bad traffic ie from typos and viral sources does not.

Questions about traffic

When talking about quality traffic, What about expired traffic ?

I have bought quite a few, and always thought that if you checked out the links, that they could indeed be quality traffic. If someone is looking for a site on a specific topic and clicks that link from a search engine, then if you can optimize the landing for that particular product - wouldn't that be excellent targeted traffic. The buyer was looking for that product, and found it on your page.

I'm hoping that Matt will review my account, as it was terminated - and I don't understand why. All of that work, and the email says I want even get paid for the work I've done the while 90n days. I have some really nice sites that I have worked long hours optimizing - tweaking the pictures, the text, the keywords...

If there is a test/program to test the traffic, why can't we run that test on an individual portfolio and throw out the domain that is generating questionable traffic?

You may want to contact Matt directly. His personal email was given in an earlier post by him (cfguru360).

 

[sirengirl]

are people getting emailed about this or how are they finding out (just curious)

and would it not be better to ban certain domains instead of whole accounts (assuming accounts are a mix of 'good' and 'bad')

I found out when I tried to access my account but could not, then I checked my email. I have found this whole experience, frustrating, humiliating and quite upsetting. I'm sure I am not the only one here who acquires names from tdnam, or other drop catchers. So, if it can happen to me it can easily happen to someone else.

Bodis, cannot be the only parking company who answers to the rigors and pressure of feed providers. There are many more established and much bigger companies than Bodis, but I have never had a problem with any of them.

As I wait for this situtation to be resolved, I wonder about the idea of a domainer who starts a domain parking company, is it revolutionary? Heavens ban the bad domain(s) but not a persons whole account. Unless, the person is making hundreds on a three word hypenated .info, assume that most of us especially on NP, are honest folk who are in this for the long haul.

Good job Matt.

You'll always have complainers, but numbers speak louder than words. If you're able to produce high payouts (by convincing advertisers that 98% of Bodis traffic is legit) you'll have good portfolio owners dying to get into Bodis.

Hmmm...since this is your first and only post, please don't assume (unless you have a million dollar portfolio with only type-in names) that you may acquire an expired name that may possibly have "bad traffic" and find yourself terminated. In other words for many of us honest folk, it may be the domain not the domainer that's at fault.

 

[Soheil]

The revenue is reduced from the revenue that was previously had on Bodis. Now the revenue is nearing the numbers that we receive from other parking programs.

If the revenue are near the ones that we are experiencing from other parking programs it makes it more difficult for us to keep on with Bodis because of the loss in functionality that one would get from the other parking programs.

The "New Revolution in Parking" for me was the high revenue. That's what got me hooked to Bodis. Imagine if Bodis had the same revenue as with other parking programs. How many of us would stick with Bodis? I don't think a good number. The whole selling point of Bodis is that it will increase your revenue. So I'm hoping that Bodis will remember it's roots and concentrate on things that will maintain or increase it's previous revenue generating numbers.

- Bob

Thank the Lord that I moved out of Bodis 2 months ago. They still need to unleash my remaining revenue. My account is still open but all domains from the listing have been removed.

Alas, we wait for IMODO.COM... let's see how they make us happy!

 

[shemaine]

Dissapointed with Bodis

I am guessing 20%-30% are going to be terminated.

ok I have been having lots of bad news with Bodis lately.
The Filter system caused much trouble, My October stats is the worst in my entire life !!!! I have 200 domains parked there, and only 1 click was recorded !!!
I 100% guarantee that the system has a major problem.

and now I see people's account getting suspended, so I guess what Donny said was right after all.

If my portfolio continue to make only 1 click a day, then goodbye bodis, hello Parked.
