Bodis VS Namedrive - IDN Forums

TrafficDomainer · #1 (**permalink**) 21st June 2011, 09:11 PM

For those who have tried Bodis, how would you compare it to Namedrive in terms of revenue. Is it worth it to move from Namedrive?

My revenue has iincreased from ND to GA for domains. That's without any tweaking.

By about what percentage if you don't mind sharing?

Thanks!

Why don't you just try it?

Just wanted to see what the consensus is before moving them to avoid moving them back and forth, changing dns and etc.

Can you show us a bodis template? Thanks.

Just found out by looking at the latest domains you've put for sale.

Too bad they don't support idn and show xn-- as title of the page...

25%-40% increase~

Biggest increase is probably Arabic.

Bodis does support IDN and title is in unicode not punycode. The domains put up by "idn" for sale generally use Google Adsense for Domains (GA). GA doesn't show unicode as the title of the page.

Revenues at ND jumped recently as well and by more than you are indicating, so it could have more to do with Google than the Parking Service.

The 25%-40% increase is referencing the original move around 8 months ago and revenue has continually grown. It only makes sense to me that I would receive more revenue from the source than the middleman.

The additional benefit is having two streams of revenue in one place (adsense for content).

Anyone else willing to share info that tried Bodis or any other IDN parking service that experienced a significantly higher revenue than Namedrive?

Thanks! Do you know where to look for a Bodis template? Couldn't find any on the site

Bodis has a cleaner interface and, for the Chinese names I tried, better earnings (by maybe 30%) but--as far as I know--you can't get traffic origin stats, nor organize your names into folders for comparative stats, and the punycode issue they said they'd address in the thread you reference never was.

domainguru · #18 (**permalink**) 26th June 2011, 12:34 PM

This is very simple. You try it out and if the RPC increases, you keep your names there until that situation changes. That's all there is to analyzing parking companies, its not rocket science, its not even rock science.

You appear to be completely ignoring the bottom line here - income per visitor. Parking isn't about "prettiness" ........

I tried out rookmedia as well on a couple of Thai names. Just rubbish Visits they reported were cut to 20% of previous and no clicks. So much for being "international" - looks like they were just discarding real Thai traffic.

Steve Clarke · #20 (**permalink**) 26th June 2011, 02:00 PM

Bodis should be releasing in the next week or so, new templates.
I have one, on one of my sites, and the Click ratio has increased from 6% to over 20%.

Here are a few examples of the new templates:
