Just to let you know, I can't sign up because it wants to send an SMS to a cellphone, and I'm in the UK for a month without a cellphone.

Why do this crap and lose customers???

Welcome to our forum, Matt.

Can you display domain names in Unicode on your user interface? It's very difficult to tell what's what when everything is displayed in punycode.

I moved mine over to Bodis, from Namedrive some time ago, with much better results.

[bwhhisc]

Do you have any templates with graphics that fit different languages, ie. Arabic, Chinese, Russian etc.

For which languages does it perform better Steve?

Big brother wants to know your phone number.

It does better for pretty well all my languages.
You were able to input up to 30 keywords at one time, but recently that has changed.
It looks like they are working on several more upgrades, though, so hopefully additional keywords, and ethnic specific templates will be added.
Anyway, it works better for me, than both Namesdrive, and Sedo.

Example Russian IDN: http://bodisparking.com/xn--90aifd0az.com

You can refresh this page to see multiple variants of this template as well.

We monetize using the best tier 1 PPC ad provider in the space. Unfortunately I cannot announce their name do to our confidential agreement with them.

We have a lot of domain names from Asia, such as Vietnam, China, etc. All I do know is that Asia domains perform extremely well compared to other parking services. For instance, we have the bulk of Vietnamese names on our system - probably more than any other parking service. I am sure Thai names would perform well.

I have went ahead and set you to verified.

We do this because we have a lot of scammers that sign up. Adding an SMS drastically slows them down from creating thousands of fraud accounts.

We're looking into a way to remove the SMS system.

If anyone else has issues with SMS, please contact me.

I have passed to my developer. Should be available in 1-2 days.

I am unsure I understand this question. We have multiple templates. We are just about to add 100 new category specific templates actually. We also make use of keywords in other languages.

Thanks Matt. BTW, I have one question. Are you using the number of "space" to define how many RSS keywords to pull?

When I park Japanese domains on Bodis, I often see a whole paragraph or sometimes even a sentence being used as RSS keywords, and that looks obviously very strange. I was wondering this, because in Japanese and some other languages like Chinese, we don't use space as word separator.

Color schemes and graphics to suit each country/region.
Sedo for instance has typical euro color schemes and its image bank is mostly european stuff/people. I'm sure we all like blonde Swedes but I think an arab chick would convert better for dating.com-in-arabic.

I think that's what Bill meant.

RTL vs LTR that's another thing.

[Man]

Does it work well for Arabic domains?

[mattbodis]

Ryu, can you give an example of the spaces? What exactly is an "RSS Keyword"? Do you mean keywords on landing pages?

We have domainers that park Arabic domains with all Arabic text. I am unsure on comparison for Arabic names, but I do know that these domainers are still parking with us so it must mean something.

Please feel free to give it a try and give any feedback.

Yes, I'm talking about keywords on landing pages. See for example the following page: セレブゴシップ.com

Some of the keywords displayed are in fact phrases and sentences. I've even seen Bodis landing pages full of adult phrases and sentences set as keywords even though domains themselves aren't exactly adult in nature. Phrase/sentence-full of pages may work to get traffic from search engines as Bodis pages get indexed by Google, but I don't think Google would find it very pleasing if/when they find that out.

I don't really know if this is happening because of Bodis using spaces as word separator, nor do I know if it happens only with languages like Japanese and Chinese.
