9/7/2011: John Ferber and DomainPower nominated for T.R.A.F.F.I.C 2011 awards
With T.R.A.F.F.I.C 2011 approaching quickly, it is exciting that our DomainPower platform is nominated
for the Best New Monetization award. It’s hard to believe that Chad Folkening’s vision from DOMAINfest
Global 2010’s “Pitchfest” is nominated again in such a short period. Domain Holdings Chairman and
Co-founder John Ferber is also up for T.R.A.F.F.I.C. 2011’s Domainer of the Year award. His nomination is
none-to-surprising given his previous successes. His vision and experience in the Internet Advertising
space have been essential to the growth of our platform, where the surface has only been scratched in
terms of its potential. We look forward to an exciting week in October just up the road in Ft. Lauderdale.
Overall, since rolling out the new design of DomainPower, the feedback from our users has been great.
There is no doubt that we wouldn’t be where we are without you, nomination included. The process
of rolling out our platform, building it to suit the needs of the evolving domain landscape, is an effort
that goes beyond a simple build. It’s a revolving door. With your feedback and our industry experience,
we want to continue to grow the platform, retaining an intuitive user-friendly design, while maintaining
AND maximizing monetization avenues for you.
Currently, we have rolled a few new key features, with more already in production.
Some of the new additions are:
- New PPC templates, upping the total count to over 40. The landing pages will graphically reflect
your domain. Additionally, we have implemented a smart-default that automatically recognizes
your domain, and propagates it with the correct template. Of course, you still have the option to
change it to whichever template you feel makes sense for you objectives.
- You may now list all of your domains “For Sale” with a list-price. Once selected, a banner will be placed on the live site with complete with a buyer-interest form.
- Integrated Estibot Domain Appraisal.
- Registrar and domain expiration indicators.
- The travel framework was also modified. It now offers an auto-suggest function within the “City/
Airport” field to help increase conversions. Additionally, end-users have access to a simple
interface where they can select up to four different comparison sites for flight pricing.
We welcome you to continue pushing your feedback our way. Overall, it’s been great to see the growth
from just less than one year ago -- and we look forward to another great year!
Sincerely,
The Domain Holdings Group
