The dilemma listing on DAN.com when using landers. (1.Viewing)

Dan.com is probably on of the last user friendly godaddy products.

We all know afternic is cumbersome by comparisons and I see a lot of members still using dan.com.

There are a few problems I personally see listing at dan, especially for the people using their own landers and double listing at dan.

1. Listing at dan is 15-25% commission depending on if you use their nameservers.
2. Using their name servers restricts your ability to sell commission free for type in traffic.
3. Double listing at dan using your own landers is a risk of 25% commission if the transaction starts there for lander users.
4. If you ignore an inquiry and the sale goes to your landers instead you can no longer push to dan for 5%


I still see dan.com as a useful tool to push to when I have sales outside of Canada, especially for my .com's but I see Efty Pay and probably Spaceship or Dynadot will eventually give them a run for the money as they launch their paymentsystems.

So my domains are not listed at dan specifically so I can take advantage of the 5% on a push for out of country sales.

Just delete the domain from Dan then add it back a day later.

Does that actually work?

You would figure they have a record of an offer on domain1.com

Then you delete domain1.com add it back and push at 5%?



I had a real issue way back where someone made a low ball offer on Dan, I totally ignored it because the domain pointed to my lander so I knew the person had my contact info. The guy then came directly to me and we came to an agreement. Now I was not able to push to Dan for 5% because the guy initiated there.

I'm still old school and I cannot give away 10-25% of my profit, it will never happen. A 5% commission when I do all the work is the absolute maximum I will pay and if someone else does all the work I will move to 10% but that's where I top out. I've been paying renewals for 20+ years and paying tens of thousands to acquire domains, there is no way I'm giving up such a large chunk to anyone when I have financed everything.

No idea, but I did it once because I thought I had to with imported leads on domains with prior offers, but then the system forced me to add it again.
