NameDrive: Sales

[charlie]

I must have missed this but is NameDrive purely a parking program do we need to make our own arrangement for selling?

apologies

Parking only, but they will put a custom link on your pages to direct visitors to your contact page.

you can pick if you want to put a link that emails you direct or to a custom page. Which i find better then i can see who is sending the email

Hi there folks,

It's about time I posted again, really.

It may seem absurd, but the waters have calmed and we are already focusing on consolidating what we have. Those of you who were 'brave' enough to try us out in the first wave have been fantastic and I think we've done a good job of showing that we're not cowboys along for the ride, but are really having a serious shot at becoming an attractive, high-revenue alternative to the others out there. If you think how things looked 4 weeks ago, despite the vicious attack on us, I think we've come a long way already and still have a lot of things in our sights. I think that for our first month we are already at least matching and regularly beating other, much more establised, players out there and we are now going for the big push to really get CTR and PPC increased.

To answer your question, Charlie:
We have three sales options for your names:

1. Not for sale. These pages are purely parked.

2. For sale. These pages have a link in the top right which leads to a central NameDrive contact page. Here, the users can send an offer directly to you, cutting out the need for anonymity and hence the need for a 10% commission. You can see this link on www.osxtorrents.com. Feel free to click it and see the contact form. (Feel free to buy the name as well, naturally, I'm sure he'd be delighted )

3. If you have a page where you sell your domains, then you can have a custom link in the top right which goes to your sales page. Such as can be seen on www.boxedset.co.uk. The link in the top right goes to the gentleman's sales page for that exact domain, cutting us out of the frame altogether.

We are happy for you to do this as we want to focus on one thing only: monetising your domains. Operating a sales platform is extremely time-consuming and we don't want our focus to be taken away from where we feel we can help you most.

I have lots of exciting things just around the corner to be announced, so keep an eye out here!

Ed

P.S. The "delted" folder is now in place, should you decide to delete your names from your ND account - not that you'll ever have to, (or want to) ... As long as the name belongs to you, feel free to leave it there

Ed, i'm going to put a few domains with you and see what I think.

 

[NameDriver]

Thanks Ratboy. I hope you'll think good things! Most people do Drop me an email at [email protected] if you'd like me to have a scoot through your names and get them optimized as best as possible.

$ to £

I may be being silly but is there any way to look at revenue in £ ?

Also, offers sent in £s too would be useful, is this possible?
