This has got me very interested. I posted it over at namepros and no one was interested in the topic. I see it as a way to sell names at higher prices to less sophisticated buyers at Godaddy and other registrars. Seems like an important topic to me.
But, I'd like to know specifically how to get my name a part of the list of names that comes up at the registrar as related premium names. I did some tests at Godaddy and all of the proposed names form Sedo were ones that had Asking Prices on them (above the default min bid of $60). Whatever the min bid price, that was the price at Godaddy. Considering most people don't place asking prices on their names at Sedo, does that mean that most names will not be a part of this? And if I place an asking price on a name, do I need to enter "FP" in the min bid field too? I see no instructions at Sedo. You'd think they would want to tell us how to use thise great new feature.
Looking for any info on this please.
Here is the enter text of that part of the announcement:
Strategic Partnership with DomainsBot
Sedo announced a strategic partnership with DomainsBot, the domain semantic search engine. Under this new partnership, a visitor searching for a domain name on a registrar or Webhosting company's site that has integrated the DomainsBot suggestion tool can now find search results of quality, related domain names that are available to register, as well as domain names that are for sale on Sedo's secondary market. "This partnership provides an enormous amount of value to service providers by increasing the domain registration rate and adding a new revenue stream without additional costs," said Mark Klein, Sedo's Director of Business Development " The tool itself adds tremendous value to the customer experience by making it increasingly easy for people to find a domain name that fits their needs."
When a Webhost company or Registrar integrates and displays the Sedo portion of the domain suggestion tool to its users, Sedo will pay the costs that would normally have to be paid to Domainsbot for the queries executed and will also pay the service provider commissions of any transactions that come through Sedo.
"Having Sedo sponsor our name suggestion is a terrific win-win for the entire market," said Emiliano Pasqualetti, DomainsBot's Chief Operating Officer."This gives registrars the opportunity to increase their sales and profit from the exponentially growing secondary market at no cost, and registrants the advantage to find the most relevant domains available for sale in one place."
DomainsBot, founded in Rome, has been active in the domain name industry since 1999. Over the last two years DomainsBot has taken over the leading position in the domain name suggestion market, working with such registrars as GoDaddy, Tucows, and Register.com. DomainsBot is now extending its offerings into the secondary domain name market, providing essential tools to domainers for name generation and analysis. To learn more about DomainsBot visit |
