My Experience with Bodis.com

[irongloves]

So far my experience with Bodis has been really positive.

I've transferred most of my domains to them (I was on SedoPro and NameDrive before).

My revenue has increased like 60% and I don't know why.
I'm quite sure that both ND and sedo were eating a big chunk of my PPC revenue.

I assume also they made a very good decision to display only 5 sponsored results on the parking landing pages.

Everybody knows that less options (links, in this case) lead to an easier decision (click).

Still, I think there's room for improvements and all the following is some suggestion for Bodis.com:

1) It would be great to have a paid pop-unders option as an additional revenue source (sedo and ND have):
You should sign a contract with pop-unders providers/brokers. There's still people and companies who pay for ppv on the internet so I see some value in it.

2) An option to "capitalize" the letter of the domain name (Similar to ND).
I still think that DomainName.com is more friendly and gives a better impression than Domainname.com (my opinion though)

3) More templates.

I'm thinking what about if you display just the top 3 links on the landing, and nothing else? Would the CTR go up? Somehow I think so, might be worth testing it.

Thanks

Thanks for your input.

Templates and other new things in UI scheduled for Monday.

Capitalization I agree, I will try to find some way in the near future.

We have tried pop unders and they pay so little that you lose more money from PPC due to user being distracted. So pop unders only work on exit, but revenues are minimal and our PPC upstream provider doesn't allow exit pop unders.

Yes, 3 links CTR would go down but revenue would go up as CPC is higher in the top 3 advertisers. However, our minimum allowed from our primary upstream provider is 5.

Any more suggestions are certainly welcome!

Any chance of bringing back the option to manually select a photo for each domain?

Thanks

Bodis rocks!

Yes, another think that may need change is the default picture for the 2-click landing.
Kind of tired of the smiling woman and sometimes it doesn't make a good impression on my forex domain names.

for SEO purpose title changes would be nice too. Thanks.

WTF?

Several of my names at Bodis now point to this spam source;

Comment removed.

I decided to give Bodis another try... I moved one domain there for testing and like what I see.

I'm moving more over and will report back with the results.

Raider, that was 4 years ago. There was already apology notices sent in 2007 and your account was reverted back.

The industry is more complicated than you think. We report to someone else, we don't call all the shots. No parking company does. We don't work with advertisers directly and therefore someone else tells us what we need to do and when we have to do it.

I don't understand why you are trying to disrupt our business 4 years later with these types of posts. No legit account has been ever turned down since. A lot has changed since then. You're welcome to give us another try.

If you don't want to then I don't know why you'd give such an outdated opinion?
