LOL no wonder NP's traffic spikes up with such crap. I'd like to see Matt post here instead but he never spends any time on DNForum.

Honestly, I think Matt has a lot more "fun" with the NP crowd...they worship him there. :smilewinkgrin:
...
I DO admire his ambition though...he's only a couple years younger than me but I was thinking about other things at 20! :smilewinkgrin:
...
So happy I got "back on track" with Domaining!
And Parking IS my favorite pastime now! :yes:
...
Therefore, GO BODIS! k:

Why should he receive his earnings?? He parked a name that is in direct violation of the TOS..obviously, the other names are questionable also, or his entire account would not have been disabled, only the adult name. All one needs to do is read this thread, not to mention Bodis' TOS to know that adult names are prohibited. I believe even a newbie attempting to park a name at a new provider would read their TOS. How do you expect a provider to pay revenue on traffic that they have not been paid for? And how can he claim $1,000.00 loss, when obviously that wouldn't be the case had he parked at any other provider? Everyone cries about low revenue share. and along comes Bodis attempting to try to do something about it....fraud is everywhere, and they must control it in order to benefit all members, not just themsevles, in order to stay in business. It is simply a matter of good business sense.

It's clearly stated in their ToS that adult names are strictly prohibited.
They aren't getting paid for them by their advertisers, so they can't pay you.

Your correct on both points, I made the same mistake Cadillac did by parking Adult domains without reading the TOS, They were only live for a few days before I learned of it, then I removed them, Revenue was less than $20 and my account remains active to this day.... I think every circumstance is different and Matt needs to evaluate each one before he pulls the plug. As for getting paid, I'll gladly give back the adult earnings or Matt can deduct it, but to keep the non adult revenue I earned and terminate my account because of this one oversight, that I have a real problem with!.

If Cadillac's revenue is 100% Adult, I agree with you that if Bodis does not get paid, neither should he. Bodis is so understaffed, you cant expect them to monitor every single account and send out warnings to it's customers, just not going to happen. Everyone that signed up with Bodis knew the risk, It was a new company, operated by ONE Man claiming to pay its clients 100% revenue share for a LIFETIME, HELLO!, and they Woman are the gullible ones.....If it sounds to good to be true, it usually is. :yes:

Signing up for Bodis was a "Test drive" for me, but to others it was a great opportunity to increase revenue, Bodis also attracted it's share of scammers, who thought they could commit click fraud and not get caught, I think this is what Matt is dealing with most, ridding himself of the cancer that's eating away at his business.

I have to say that Bodis did "stir up" some calm waters in the parking world, though! k:

Anyone else notice that the update for the stats on 10/10 showed visitors and revenue stats but no clicks, and now on the update for 10/11 it only shows revenue only and no visitors or click stats.

 

[gariben]

yes.. same here.

at least the revenue was about the same as before

a quirk, no doubt. But everything from 10/10 was filled in appropriately. And 10/11 looks great on the revenue end. We'll see how this fills in.

Yes, I also show Revenue...but no Visitors??:?: Kind of cool! k:

Last night, I received notification from Bodis that they are no longer accepting new applications. Alas....

I suspect that either he is overwhelmed or not impressed by the sampling of domains that I mentioned in my application. I'm bummed. I would've liked to try Bodis out given all of your comments...

OK, so if I can't reap the benefits of Bodis, where should I park? I haven't been overly impressed by Fabulous. I've parked about 100 domains there for a few months. Some days $5.00, some days $0.00, averaging about $1.00/day for all, so $0.01/day per domain.

Stay away from Sedo Parking.....

 

[Theo]

Recommending NameDrive over Sedo? Now that's odd, ND has the lowest paying clicks of the industry.

 

[Raider]

Your not missing much with Bodis, I would try Parked, Parking panel or Trafficz....really depends what kind of names you have.

Stay away from Sedo Parking.....

But they were named "Most Popular Parking Service"

Ctr dropped significantly, but clicks are still higher in bodis than in other parking companies. Not sure about the total revenue though - it varies for different domains. If you have well targeted traffic, bodis might perform better.

I recall seeing Matt's post on NP that it will be like that for a couple months and then the revenue should go up.

I got paid on time...but I know Matt could use a little extra help with emails and such at Bodis. :smilewinkgrin:

not on time, but they did warn us a few days back that the payments would be 4 days late

 

[SDX]

Matt stated this on Namepros:

"We will let everyone know once we get things sorted. As a matter of fact, in exactly 1 month Bodis v2 is coming out. And that will really be something where I am thinking everyone will jump ship to.

We will also get payments sorted out by next payout. We are working everyday to figure out how to raise revenue in v2. Right now we are very happy with our results. I think v2 will be really an awakening. And our team will also expand once v2 is out. We will have dedicated account managers that will handle your payments and support issues."

October 22, 2007 1810 778 43% $64.47
October 23, 2007 1993 743 37% $54.84

the other domain.

October 21, 2007 736 330 45% $122.60
October 22, 2007 898 376 42% $31.52
October 23, 2007 708 287 41% $21.61

their server had a problem for the past two days ? How about other guys ?

Looks like they kept a nice 50%.

This isn't making much sense.

With the exception of how it was explained to me awhile back from issues with Sedo. So take this as them saying it, not me, and do what you want with the info.

Say company A has the top spot for the lander. Company A pays XX PPC.

If company A is hit heavy by you and others, it can deplete their ad budget. Therefore their PPC will go down until replenished. Then Company B may actually be the higher PPC.

A drop in revenue usually takes place at the end of the month (the budget cycle) but will also go back up at the beginning of the month.

That is why we supposedly see ups and downs. Plus, the traffic sources (supposedly), country of origin (supposedly), rotating placement on the lander (supposedly) and many other non-transparent factors.

In other words, I think as in the case with any parking service, the answer depends on the person supplying it, the time of the day, the mood, the weather, barometric pressure, and alignment of planets.

So that is why I say take it as you will as this is some of the BS (could it even be remotely true?) as to why PPC fluctuates so much.

Then again, you gotta be amazed at stats like this...or maybe not?

The RPC at Bodis seems to keep getting lower and lower. The first 6 weeks I was with Bodis the clicks that were usually in the 0.25 to 0.30 range are now down to 0.08 to 0.13.

Some of my domains perform better with Bodis than any other parking company I've tried but others do not and as a result I recently moved some away. Hopefully this v2 of Bodis will help.
