Frequently Asked Questions

Fixed Price Domain Listing Service

Most Frequently Asked

Is there a cost associated with DomainPower?

There is no cost to sign up or use our monetization platform. Domains brokered by domainpower or sold via our fixed price listing service are subject to a commission fee.

Are my domains live after I import them onto the DomainPower platform?

Domains are available immediately. However, when you change your name server, there is inherently a delay in DNS propagation. You must change the dns on your domains to ns1.dnslink.com and ns2.dnslink.com for them to be live.

How do I make money?

Upload your domains to the platform and let us do the work. We will choose keywords and frameworks that best match your domains to the appropriate advertisers.

How do you report my revenues?

We have multiple reports within DomainPower that show you where, when and how you are making your money across the portfolio.

Can I list my Domains for sale?

Yes. You can list all of your parked domains for sale. Click the domain you wish to sell. In the edit page there is an option that reads “For Sale.” Choose yes and save. A banner will be placed at the top of the domain with a contact form for interested buyers. You may also list your domains in our “Fixed Price Domain Listing Service”. This marketplace is reserved for domains priced between USD $75.00 and $5000.00. Simply complete the steps above but include your BIN price. If it is within the listed range it automatically is listed in our marketplace. Commission fees do apply.

How can I view the reporting numbers for my domains?

Once logged in, the DomainPower dashboard is your command central, where you can constantly monitor the health of your portfolio. You have access to analytics, Biggest Winners and Biggest Losers, overall visitors, estimated CPM, revenue generated, top sites, top referring keywords and traffic. You are able to customize the timeline of your portfolio traffic, sort sites by frameworks and more.

How often are revenue numbers updated for my domains?

Revenue numbers are updated daily, but some advertising revenue numbers may experience a reporting lag of up to two days.

Is CPM calculated in real-time?

We will show you up-to-the minute unique visitors, but there is a two-day lag in CPM calculations. Advertisers can take up to two days to report revenues. To ensure accuracy, we only update your CPM once we have those reported revenue numbers. Therefore, when looking at the current or prior day, the CPM will be calculated based on revenue numbers from two days ago.

Who do I contact should I have questions about the platform?

Contact your account manager for assistance. When you are logged into your DomainPower account, in the top-right portion of the screen there is a link where it reads “Account Manager.” Simply click there and a contact form with a dropdown menu will appear. Select what best describes your issue and provide a brief description. Please include your name and best way to contact you.

Can I change my domain’s framework after it’s already live? How long does it take?

Once your domain is on the platform, you can change the framework and the changes will be reflected in real-time.

The some domains I have monetizing with DomainPower no longer appear as they once did. They also appear to be on another platform?

In our constant effort to increase revenue for our customers, we have started adding the frameworks, of SELECT monetization partners, to our own array of proprietary frameworks. Our sole intention is to increase the revenue for the domains that are designated with the default Auto-Select framework on the platform.

What this means is, if you or your DomainPower representative have not assigned a domain to one of our 13 vertical frameworks (e.g. Shopping, Travel, Mortgage, PPC, etc.), the content on the domain might look different than it has in the past. As a result, your revenue on the domain should increase following the change. Please note that we only utilize the partner framework when it has an opportunity to bring you more revenue. If you would like the content on your domain to remain static, you can simply change it from the Auto-Select option to any of our vertical frameworks, including our generic 'PPC' framework.

I added my domains to the platform, and picked a framework. But I still can’t see my updated page?

They can be edited via your registrars (i.e. GoDaddy etc.) Control panel. If DNS has been changed, and your page still doesn’t show the framework you’ve chosen, please be patient as DNS takes time to update.

Fixed Price Domain Listing Service

What is the Fixed Price Domain Listing service?

The Fixed Price Domain Listing Service is a new initiative we are starting for our clients. It is a domain name buying/selling marketplace. It allows domainers to list domain names that are for sale at fixed buy it now prices, and to buy domains directly through a secured processing gateway. This service is currently limited to domains priced between USD $75.00 and USD $5000.00. Domains sold via this service are subject to a commission fee as listed in the Price List and Fees section.

How do I list domains for sale with a fixed buy it now price?

Click the domain you wish to sell. In the edit page there is an option that reads “For Sale.” Choose yes. A box will appear asking you for the domains “Buy-It-Now-Price”. For your convenience we provide two price estimates as a guide. Input a sales price between USD $75.00 and USD $5000.00 and SAVE. Please note that this is the price the domain can be purchased at. It is a Buy It Now price and will be placed into our market place as such. A banner will be placed at the top of the domain listing it for sale in our Fixed Priced marketplace. This link will take the buyer to a custom landing page where they can securely and instantly purchase the domain. This field is only required if you wish to participate in the Fixed Price Domain Listing Service. If you do not wish to set a price, simply leave the field blank. This will allow potential buyers to just contact you about their interest in the domain or leave offers. There is no fee for listing a domain for sale. Domain power only charges a commission fee if the domain is sold through our platform. Please see the fee schedule for more details

How is the value of my domain calculated?

We use a couple different value estimation tools at our disposal. We analyze a variety of factors when estimating domain value. You as the domain owner have the right to set your own “reserve” price. A reserve price is the lowest amount you are willing to accept when selling a domain. You may also choose to leave this field blank.

I have foreign domains. Am I able to sell these through the Fixed Price Domain Listing Service?

We have the ability to sell any domain, regardless of the geographic location.
