Uniregistry: More Offers After Landing Page Redesign

A little over a week ago, Uniregistry debuted new landing pages, which ushered in the era of Uniregistry Market. The graphic header was removed, and the landing pages all feature blue hyperlinks and a background photograph of a snowcapped mountain.

For those of us who rely on domain name sales as a primary source of revenue, the biggest change was the top of the landing page. The bright green offer bar, which had previously been bright orange, was replaced by a blue offer bar with white text. At the time, I wondered how much of an impact this change would have on the number of offers I received.

Because I have a fairly small domain portfolio and don’t park all of my domain names with Uniregistry, the change in the number of  offers I receive would not be statistically significant. An extra two or three offers could throw off those numbers. Instead, I asked Frank Schilling if he could share the increase or decrease in offers received in the week since the change was made.

According to Frank, there has been an increase in offers across the platform. “It was up marginally in the first week I’d say 3–5% ..  “definitely” up tho week to week across the board,” he told me. Frank also let me know about a Uniregistry Market demo that will be forthcoming on DomainSherpa.com and shared some additional thoughts on the platform:

Uniregistry Introduces Uniregistry Market

Earlier this week, I wrote about the new landing page design I discovered when I was looking at a domain name parked at DomainNameSales.com. I was told that this was the beginning of the deployment of Uniregistry Market.

This afternoon, Uniregistry officially announced the launch of Uniregistry Market, and I want to share some details with you from the email I received as a DNS client. I plan to spend some time getting to know Uniregistry Market, and I suspect others will be doing the same thing.

Here’s the email I received announcing the launch of Uniregistry Market:

New Landing Pages Usher in Uniregistry Market Roll Out

I was making sure one of my landing pages had the proper keywords showing when I saw that DomainNameSales.com updated their parked pages. The first thing you’ll probably notice is the blue hue. Here’s a screenshot of one of my domain names that is parked at DNS:

New DNS Landers

The bright green  “for sale” bar at the top of the landing pages is now blue, and the font on the landing page is also in blue. Clicking through on the “for sale” link brings you to the DNS offer page, which does not appear to have changed (at least not yet).

I reached out to Uniregistry CEO Frank Schilling to ask

Uniregistry Hires Sam Tseng and Alan Crowe

I received some news from Uniregistry about two new company hires. Sam Tseng has been hired “after 12 years with traffic monetization platform DomainSponsor/Oversee.net.” In addition, the company also hired Alan Crowe, “previously a broker for DomainNameSales, a subsidiary of Uniregistry. Crowe has 8 years of experience in the domain name industry, getting his start at GoDaddy in 2008.” Sam and Alan will be account managers at the registrar.

I think it’s good to see people with experience taking on these roles. When I deal with an account manager, I want them to be able to identify an issue that I have and know what they need to do to resolve the issue. I would imagine having experience at other domain industry companies can be helpful in that regard, and it can also make it easier for them to see where their clients are coming from.

Congratulations to

Uniregistry App Update Available

0

The Uniregistry app was released just prior to NamesCon and was a topic of discussion amongst attendees after Frank Schilling’s keynote. I downloaded the app and played around with it a bit, and I must complement the design team on the work that went into creating the app.

Yesterday evening, Frank Schilling announced (via Twitter) that an updated version of the Uniregistry app is now available via iTunes /  the Apple app store. People can upgrade their current 1.0 version or download the newest version if they don’t have the app yet on their phone or tablet.
