Homepage effect, Yes or No? (1.Viewing)

I added a bouncing dot effect on my homepage at MapleDots.ca

Not sure if I will keep it or not so I want some opinions please


Like or Dislike?

If it doesn't accomplish anything, I wouldn't have it. I think it just distracts.

You know...

If you have to ask it's probably wrong, I agree and removed it.


That said I am trying something different and adding Text, Phone, and Twitter instead of just email as a contact.

A lot of my listings are now set to "Buy Now" but I also put my homepage and email on Dan in case someone wants to strike up a private negotiation.


Always trying something new to see how it affects the numbers.

I was just on one of your names. I believe the DAN landers look great. I noticed a BIN option and also Lease to own. Was there an option to Make offer as well along with those 2? In my opinion, I feel that giving someone just one of those 2 options, it narrows ones chances of selling a name. I understand that with the Make an offer option you will get some low offers you don’t necessarily like but I think it’s good to have that option.

With a BIN option and also a Make offer option, I feel this works better because a real potential buyer will see that you will not sell a domain with a BIN of $100K for $1K.

I guess I missed it if it's already removed, but I like your current set up.

This is smart, plus did you know you can import leads/transactions into Dan and pay a smaller commission of 5% instead of 9%? Took me a while to notice it but it's a bit more prominent now with Dan 2.0.

It's in the top right corner of your sales section and looks like this once you click on it:




In case you're not aware yet, there's also the option to chat / negotiate with a buyer directly within Dan (that's not really obvious until you've received an offer). You do however always need to respond to an offer or counter-offer first (by either accepting, countering, or declining) before you can send messages. I often decline and then might strike up a conversation, but the moment they submit another counter, you then need to respond again (accept, counter, or decline) before you can continue chatting / the conversation.

I activated the "Make Offer" with the lease option.

Dan says that reduces your odds of selling but it probably increases contact rates.
