DOMAIN8 Auction History and Email Notifications
Hi Guys,
I am actually in favour of showing the past results, but Wade brings up a valid point. And there lies the problem... it is hard to meet everyone's expectations.
For example, I now send a Featured Domain list everyday to our registered customers. The list is compiled using search and advertising metrics and includes some very useful data - the Google AdWords KeywordTool data based on Australian exact match searches for the domain phrase. Some people love this list... whereas others encourage me to stop because it erodes the competitive advantage they have when valuing domains.
The idea we have been playing with is listing the historical sales, but only for registered members. Thoughts?
Now, regarding the original post by johno69
I've beenw atching the Domain8 list and wonder how people know if they caught stuff or not...
I'm not all that worried about knowing details, but si there a way to check previous dropped domain results etc?
I have placed a bid on one that I didn't win. But not sure if I didn't win it due to being outbid or they didn't catch it.
Anyone shed some light ?
Thanks.
At the moment we don't send a "caught/lost" email transcript. This is on my "To-Do wish list" though. Currently, at the end of every auction your user interface will show you whether you won or lost an auction. After the drops complete, the screen updates each domain row with CAUGHT or NOT CAUGHT. At the end of every business day we issue the invoices to you which effectively itemizes the results. Problem that you highlight though, is that if we don't catch your domain you don't get any notifications.
So, in the near furture we will be improving our customer communications and introducing email updates, as well as many new, useful, and exciting services planned.
