After moving my entire portfolio away from Sedo in October of last year, I finally stopped receiving those lowball $60 queries via the GoDaddy TDNAM.
No hard feelings; Internet Traffic pays more for parked domains, and offers a multitude of tools to maximize your domain sales ROI.
There is one thing, however, that is done right by GoDaddy, when placing anonymous brokerage offers for domains outside of TDNAM: you can now cancel an inquiry, without dealing with the actual offer.
This is an important option in my book. Often times, I receive unsolicited offers via email that I don’t wish to respond to, necessarily. While you can ignore emails, GoDaddy – and Sedo, in the past – used to send email reminders in order to view the particulars of an unsolicited offer; 95% of those offers were in the sub-$100 range.
The ability to respond to the GoDaddy offer with a “Not interested” option – particularly when the domain is parked with a “For sale” link – is an important change at GoDaddy.
but, if saying you will consider an offer godaddy expects you to pay for a godaddy auction membership
they should issue for free as they will potentially profit from buyer paying to contact you and from commish
I am finding godaddy ‘support’ in dissaray currently with one of these ‘offers’
domain is not at gd and is clearly for sale fixed price at bodis, no parked page
wish I’d clicked not interested
will do this in future
godaddy enquiries usually result in lowballs of their own when buyers shoudl go through whois or go to for sale page. I mean who doesnt actually type in the url of desired domain?
godaddy made a lot of improvements in past years, however, finding them messing with vip reps etc now their support has taken a nosedive
Guy – Correct, I just want to be able to shut off any such lame attempts by GoDaddy customers to circumvent the much superior Internet Traffic mechanism. 🙂
internet traffic actually has supplied more bullshitters than anything in history for me
I will do a guest post onetime
the best thing is bodis imo, list them for sale but don’t park, all automated
BETTER than Frank’s model
parking is better at schillings place but have taken revenue with no decent explanations
I am now in to sell or develop, screw parking and for that reason moving all domains across to bodis
also I don’t like any one platform getting too much power which dns is
I don’t see many people celebrating sales at dns, it is actually very rare, they tend to be mainly franks.
time is very important, even though posting here, only cos we’re mates, and godaddy and dns wasteMY TIME
there are tools for blocking timewasters, but the minimum bid doesnt keep them out, and doesnt stop spammers
check bodis new tool and is a way to list for sale only not just park
Getting $ 60 offer for domains which seller would not give away for $ 6,000 or even
$ 60,000 was a big headache and waste of time. Sedo will realise its mistake but it would be too late for it.
Guy – In six months, I have had more domain sales at Internet Traffic than an entire year at Sedo. The number of inquiries increased 10fold. Parking revenue increased by 75%. Most importantly, I can manage the origin of such inquiries and analyze the data; unlike the sparse, anonymous offers at Sedo.
Dave – I fully agree.
Theo I have had close to $200k worth of nonpayers on internettraffic/dns this year
that have gone to escrow
I can back up with stats
glad it’s working for you. not for me.
Guy – Sorry to hear that. That sounds like an incredibly high number. Did you try to follow up on those ‘completed sales’ via e.g. the use of a DNS broker?
