April 05, 2010. Every domainer has tried to submit their domain(s) at some or other domain auction portal and faced rejection. Most places where you won’t face rejection are places that charge upfront to list your name. And almost all of these sites try to tell you that your domain is crap unless it is a one word dictionary term and has type-in traffic of a few thousands per day.

If we had that kind of domain why would we want to sell it unless we were bankrupt. Do they think that we can’t develop a business out of such a domain? But when you see their own lists you can see what real crap is. They are looking for premium names to offload their own crap mixed in with good names.

Enter BIDO! Bido domain name auctions have changed the face of domain selling with an ingenious method of free listing along with vote for profit where Bido users vote on names to go for auction. And, in the process, they gain a percentage of Bido profit, when the name they voted sells. It’s the market that decides whether a domain is crappy or not. But sometimes many users may not notice a domain to vote or their votes may get exhausted. For such cases they have the acceleration method. You buy credit and move your domain to the auction without any votes. If you find that you wanted to vote for a name which could bid real high and you stand to gain by voting for it, and your votes were exhausted, then you can use the credit to change to votes and then vote for profit on Bido.

Bido takes commission only when your name sells. There is no upfront charge to list. Your domain name can get voted up for auction or you could use paid credit to accelerate it to auction. Bido’s a favorite online hangout for us nowadays.
