NameYourself said:I only have a couple days of stats to work with so far, and I'm sure there will be more ways to optimize things better once out of beta. So far, it seems some names earn the same as DomainSponsor, while others earn about 2x. Out of the five names I tested, here are the results compared to DS:
1 Domain - worse
3 Domains - about the same
1 Domain - almost 2-3X
Keep in mind this is only based on 2 days of stats at this point. There's still some things I need to try playing around with, I feel confident there will be ways to make them all make more compared to DS.
Zorro said:Quick Review:
I have moved 4 names to DNF's beta program and in the last 3 days, here are some observations:
1. User Interface : 2.5/5
The UI is nothing special and needs to be improved. Quite a few inconsistencies.
2. Stats/Reports : 1.5/5
Compared to DomainSponsor & Sedo the stats section is lacking. Currently there is a huge time lag before stats are updated.
3. Revenue (RPM) : 4.5/5
The clickthru rate and RPC rock!
Most names (particularly "keywords" related) generate better revenue than other other parking program.
Overall, since Adam is incharge I'm confident the program will improve in the weeks to come. Dont be surprised if this gets to be the most popular PPC program for domainers in a short period of time!
DotComGod said:Ok the revenue is great the tough part is sometimes the stats are as much as 2-3 days behind. That's why its called beta....
Stats have now been updated for the 16th and before, I expect more updates later today for the 17th.
examples will follow later today.

NameYourself said:After 5 Full Days of Testing Entire DS Portfolio...
* Generic Type-in / keyword domains experience increase
* Overall Portfolio experienced 21% increase in Total Revenue
So for example, if you made $10.00 a day on DS, you could expect $12.10 assuming you have a diverse porftolio containing some generic type-in domains.
Adam - Any way to make this a 50 or 100% increase? I'm eager to see what new features can be offered to optimize names even better, especially for the ones that performed better at DomainSponsor. What kinds of tools will be available in the public release allowing us to better optimize?
DotComGod said:Some have seen 200 - 300% increases, it really depends on how easily your domain can be targeted on its own without keyword assistance. Once out of beta this will not be an issue as we will be able to totally control the keyword strategy.
Stats are the biggest drawback as they are available somehwat irregulary, but that too will be fixed in time. The most important thing is MOST people will have an increase in revenue.
