Looks like Uni has new BIN and make offer landers.

- You can now make an offer on "make offer" lander vs. request price (old).

- BIN lander now tells you IF the domain can be immediately transferred to you vs. just telling you 'MOST of the domains can be instantly transferred to you...' (old).

Another thing: toward the tops it says:

A great domain can be the key to your success

Don't you think it would be better to say:

A great domain is the key to your success

It just seems like the wobbly "can be" could serve to validate the part of the potential buyer's mind that is hesitant about making the purchase.

Imagine a make-up company advertising like this:

"Our makeup may or may not make you look more beautiful."

I used to go to sleep, and have a slew of inquiries from India, 99.9 percent of which were all a waste of time, those are now all quiet, they must have filtered out poor, or non serious leads with some change in steps, or verification? Which I really don't mind, who wants to waste time on $10 offers.

I thought it was strange why I hadn't received one inquiry in nearly 2 weeks, i'd usually get 2 or 3 a week. Then I realised it was due to their landing page changes.

Previously, a buyer would have to fill in their basic details before even opening negotiations, this is where all the dud leads come from. Now, an offer is required in order for the lead to funnel through.

Yeah, you're right. It's a little off in that wording. Not sure how big a deal that is.

It also repeats this sentence twice: "We've helped thousands of buyers..."

And it says Copyright 2016 on the bottom.

Again, not sure how much any of that matters but just noting it FWIW.

Seems a bit rushed, i.e. the re-design and copy. And IMO it matters a lot. Hopefully, they fix those.

Edit: If you're talking about professionalism and confidence and whatnot in your sales pitch, those little things matter.

I agree, however this is likely a copy recommendation from the legal department.

Saying that this domain is the key to their success is too close to warranties and guarantees. What happens when someone buys a domain and their business fails for another reason?

Most of these changes look like they are the result of situations they have run it. I can only speculate, but that is typically the reason behind change of copy such as this.

Also, it says on BIN landers:

Payment methods are accepted: Visa, Paypal etc.

That sounds a bit weird, i.e. '... ARE accepted'. Not a native English speaker myself but shouldn't it be just 'Payment methods accepted' or 'Accepted payment methods'. The current wording sounds a bit off to me. But again, not a native English speaker.

you know things are real bad when non native speakers like you and me are pointing them out.

I guess they didn't even bother to read twice through their landers. not cool.

Dryness continues....

Anybody else noticed a change ?

I sure have. Used to get verified inquiries at least weekly and unverified pretty much every day but since they changed their landers, I haven't got one single inquiry :)

When I click on a domain , I can see a message "Hidden from DNS" in orange background.

Not sure whether it was there before, or what it means .....

Means if uniregistry ever releases its sales, it won't be released publically.

I noticed they removed the phone number that had been showing up at the bottom of the page, at least on BIN landers.

Some of my names show old lander while some show NEW. I hope the false inquiries will stop now

"Can be" is safer to use than "is".

Success requires more effort that just having a great domain.

I am experiencing a wild drop in inquiries after this change :(

Could be unrelated though....

Same here but could be because the new landers make it clearer that you're inquiring about a domain name. Got all sorts of weird inquiries with the old landers...

Modern marketers tend to only ask for an email and once this is provided, they may ask for a couple more information, in an attempt to make it super simple and attractive for the prospect to engage.

A form with many fields to fill out looks intimidating...

Yea inquiries are way down, they must be bouncing for some reason, it looks like they are more chatty, and making offers more now, good and bad. The number of inquiries are down, but the inquiries getting thru are communicating
more.

Serious people will follow thru

I even made a test inquiry to make sure they are not blocked. It went through, no problem.

Do you guys have BINs or Make Offer only ?
