@alcy

I see. Thanks for the feedback. We've looked over today everyone that used URL for the auto redirect, and not all, but a good percentage (most) used it for spam that lead to things like Viagra pages, etc. Basically, using us as the hosting provider and our IP address/servers would be a target of anti spyware/anti malware. Perhaps in between all that bad stuff, there is quite a few good uses like you mention.

How about we keep it implemented with the EXTERNAL MARKET option so that you guys can continue to use it for Sedo, UniRegistry Market, etc? I think that's a fair compromise!

Captcha - great idea. We will def give you that option as soon as we get to the 'account level' settings in the next set of updates.

yep.. sounds good.. for the market urls... thanks... I think that's prety good compromise.. I am sure you will add few more there too.. here is one for godaddy:

https://ca.auctions.godaddy.com/trpItemListing.aspx?domain={DOMAIN_NAME}

undeveloped.com:
https://undeveloped.com/buy-domain/{DOMAIN_NAME}?redirected=true

thanks for making captcha optional... I am sure I won't be the only one using it..

oh yeah.. I emailed you before about disabling some columns and I said it comes right back on after refresh.. lol.. I thought it was bug but turns out you actually made that intention... as in: the columnn disables are temporary.. whcih imo kinda defies the whole purpose... so I hope you can consider making the column customizing a permanent thing and saving the preferences forever.. or until changed again

thanks!

A great update. Thank you Bodis!

@matt_bodis :

Templates: what is missed (with no templates now, as far as I understood) is the following: A page with just one big search form. Nothing more. Which would prompt visitor to search for something.
(userful for hard-to-categorize domains, and in some other cases)

General: Any changes in system behavior for visitors with adblocker? Strict adblocker, where "acceptable ads" are disabled or unsupported. Last time I checked, such visitors were presented with a big empty page. It was discussed earlier in this thread. Desired change: instant forwarding to forsale link destination (if the domain is for sale) or to 0 click.

 

[tonyk2000]

here is one for godaddy:

https://ca.auctions.godaddy.com/trpItemListing.aspx?domain={DOMAIN_NAME}

Looks like a link for Canadians?
Which opens an interesting question. Can or should Bodis respect country- or language- specific linking if offered by a particular marketplace. Not only GD. Also SEDO... ?

 

[scrsteven]

Regarding URL redirect only - I've used this off and on to forward domains straight to sales landers on other platforms since it's easy to make bulk forwarding changes and it works (as opposed to making bulk URL forwarding changes within the Godaddy control panel which is very faulty in my experience). My understanding is Bodis was still compensated for the mx earnings on the domain, so that helped pay for whatever hosting expense this incurred. I'd like to see this feature be re-enabled.

Hello @tonyk2000,

That shouldn't be an issue. If these values are left blank, then by default the link should auto-resolve to the visitor's native language, unless it's being overridden.

Thanks.

@TroyBodis

I started studying business domains in 2017.
and I in 2017 tried to park the domain at bodis.com. 1 month after I parked the domain at bodis.com my account was closed.

my email: [email protected]

can my account be opened again?
and what mistakes I made so that I could fix them in the future.

best regards

If possible, please add switcher to your previous/classic UI design...

 

[alcy]

@bodis

really .. wanna say thanks to bodis for these new changes.. and wilingless to work with people to implement more (captcha optional hint hint hahah)...

even if super overdue update which was first announced around time I started to domain in 2015... it was quite worth the wait.

I tested the ads pages on a mobiel today... and yes! finally! the sale banner on top! and "penetrating" deeply into the eyes too.

we're such a longway from some mediocre barely visible sale banner somewhere at the bottom.

thanks for working out the few bugs left on this update. hope for fixes soon.

cheers

So no direct Make Offer form/LP from now on, on bodis?

they still allow direct offer through their inquiry. and later they'll implement it for market urls..

just not for random ones any more

 

[alcy]

@TroyBodis

I noticed today on mobile the top tabs ... add domains.. manage etc... are not there at all.. is this a bug your aware of? or the mobile version will not have these? right now you can just see stats on mobile... no managing, adding names etc. thanks.

 

[TroyBodis]

Hello @alcy,

We are fixing this right now, so it should be updated very soon.

Thank you for notifying us.

Hello @alcy,

The External Market URL feature should now be accessible under Sale Status>External Market. Both Sedo and Uniregistry Market URLs have already been implemented.

Thanks.

he was talking about auto redirect... bypassing ads page.

from what you said here before... this will be eventually (not yet right?) available for:

inquiry form
external market

but no longer for regular/any url

is this true? any idea when you will (re) enable auto redirect on those two?

[TroyBodis]

Hello @alcy,

Yes, we're expecting to re-enable this option within the next couple of days.

And auto-redirecting for external URLs will only be available for pre-approved markeplaces, such as Sedo, Uniregistry, etc.

Thanks.

@bodis
that looks fixed thanks

there is one more bug I saw today... when I click on the options icon next to any name... then select manage domain... it takes me to my whole list of names on bodis (like when I click manage domains tab on top). instead of the page with more options for domain.. like view reports icon etc...

anybody here literally noticed smaller daily average revenues since the update took place?

I sure hope changing client vs bodis revenue share algorithms wasn't part of this update. which it could have been. but if so, then perhaps we can hear about it. I am just asking, as I do not know and I only know what I see on my end.

wow really? now that begs the question then whether bodis increased their rev algorithm toward client advantage

Regarding UI in 1920x1080 @ 96 dpi...
Only with 110% zoom it looks good...

My average RPM this month is ~6 times lower VS December...
Monetization like on Sedo - in other words.
