Kanoodle.com introduces DomainHop.com

[DomainHop]

Hello Everyone!

I would like to introduce DomainHop.com, Kanoodle.com's Domain Park program. Please feel free to visit the site and try out a few domains. Here are a few key points about our service:

1. DomainHop leverages Kanoodle.com’s ContextTarget listings NOT our search listings. ContextTarget powers such sites as CBS MarketWatch, Quicken.com, The Motley Fool and most recently MSNBC who choose Kanoodle over Google and Overture as their contextual solution. Kanoodle’s ContextTarget Listings will typically have higher bid prices than our competitor’s Search Listings.

2. DomainHop owns its own client base through Kanoodle meaning we do not have to share the revenues we earn before paying you like most other domain park programs.

3. We will guarantee whatever you are making now with your current Domain Park program. For instance if you provide us with a screenshot of your monthly domain statistics, and copies of your most recent payment stubs we will guarantee you the higher of that amount or 55%. This will make it easy to switch over to DomainHop as we will not jeopardize your current revenue stream as well as giving you the opportunity to grow.

Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Best Regards,

Michael Feeley

"if you provide us with a screenshot of your monthly domain statistics, and copies of your most recent payment stubs"

Yeah, right away....LOL

 

[DomainHop]

DrDomains,

Let me clarify - You obviously do not need to provide that information to join DomainHop and park your names with us.

You will only need to provide that information if you want the higher of a guaranteed monthly income of your most recent month with another Park program or 55% of Click Revenue.

I hope this helps!

....if you provide us with a screenshot of your monthly domain statistics, and copies of your most recent payment stubs we will guarantee you the higher of that amount or 55%.....

Confused as to what that means, how can you guaranty the higher of the amount currently earning, or 55%? 55% of what, if 55% of current income that would be less than current earnings so why would anyone accept that option when they could take the first option instead?

Also, are you asking for the monthly stats from the time period of our most recent ppc check from Google for the guaranty?

P.S. Your website http://www.domainhop.com/ does NOT work, page not found error, tried many times. That does not give me much confidence in your new program!

 

[DomainHop]

I apologize for the confusion. We would guarantee the higher of your current earnings or 55% of click revenue that you earn through DomainHop.

For example, let’s say you earned $5100 from Sedo last month.

If your total earnings at a 55% rev share using DomainHop came out to be $5600 then we would pay you $5600.

If your total earnings at a 55% rev share using DomainHop came out to be $3300 then we would pay you $5100.

To enroll in the above program we would need your most recent stats for the domains that you are transferring over to DomainHop so that we can justify the guarantee.

I hope this clarifies the issue.

Sorry about the downtime, we are refreshing Oracle (if you have a guarantee in place downtime would not affect you!).

Sorry, still a little confused, do you mean you guaranty earnings of at least the same vs last months income from adsense, and even more is well possible?

Reagrding Oracle, is that the name of a server or data base and how often is your site down? It seems odd you would refresh it and that then makes the site go down? If refreshing in fact forces a site go down in the first place something is terribly wrong, IMO. I would never use a server where my site goes down by design like that, even a low traffic site. If that is a fact the obvious issue is why not refresh it say at 2:00 AM when there is little traffic rather than mid-afternoon during maximum traffic times? Just wondering as reliability is a big concern with these ppc programs. P.S. Site is still down.

 

[David G]

Website is still down, been down for about 1-hr, perhaps even longer.

Once again, this does not inspire confidence in your program. What is my clicks are not recorded (and income should have been more than the guaranteed amount) as the site is often down, especially during high traffic times of day, like this time?

P.S. Why does this happen anyway? Why would the Oracle take this long to simply refresh, that would seem like perhaps a minute or 2 at the most. Why not do that at 2:00 AM if really needed to put the website down?

 

[DrDomains]

Still down....

Hear that?

It's the sound of lost revenues!

Next!

 

[David G]

That Oracle is sure running s-l-o-w today, it has now been 'refreshing' for more than 4 hrs., with no more contact from domainhop. I will check the website again tomorrow but will not be surprised if still down, is this a joke or what, like any of us would really go with this firm after this fiasco, LOL.

The parking page is horrendous. Nice cookie cutter design witha big DomainHop Logo at the top. Count me out

The domainhop.com site still refuses to load for me, always get page not found errors. Did the website work for you or was it the Kanoodle site? Perhaps it is a propogation issue now.

The reason I have been so interested in this is that I wish I could find a viable alternative to adsense, but is seems adsense is still the only major player for website owners. Somewhat surprising places like yahoo and msn have not come out with such a program too.

I was hoping so bad that domainhop would be good and a viable alternative to give adsense some well deserved competition.

 

[deepstar]

If it uses kanoodle listings I don't see how it could compete as most of the listings are quite low.

 

[DomainHop]

Deepstar,

DomainHop makes use of Kanoodle.com's ContextTarget Listings NOT Kanoodle search listings. Typically our ContextTarget listings have higher RPC's than our competitors Search Listings. These are the listings that power CBS Marketwatch, Quicken, MSNBC (soon) and many others.

Thanks!
Mike

 

[deepstar]

Thank you for the clarification.

Ah-ha...now resolving. (Although does not work properly on a Mac with IE :veryangry).

Yes, the site does now work, but V - E - R - Y ---- S-L-O-W-L-Y.g Not a good sign.
