Domain Showcase Change

sedo · Mar 10, 2006

Hi All,

There's a new feature going online soon and I wanted to give you a heads up.

Over the last few months we've really been inundated with orders for our showcase. The spike in demand made us rethink how it operates and I'm happy to report a major upgrade to the showcase that adds value and convenience.

The new showcase will rotate every time the homepage is loaded. This means:

Domains can be added much sooner. You should normally only have to wait a day after your order is processed for your showcased name to debut.

Its a random rotation so your domain will appear on the homepage throughout the 30 days its featured there.

The new showcase system is ONLINE NOW. Please let me know if you have any questions.

I just refresed the page several dozen times and the same 13 domains just got reshuffled. Also do you not feel 13 a little unlucky? the number might be lucky for some, but why not 14 or 12?

Hi,

Quite right. The domains still rotate every hour, but that is instead of every 24 hours. If you keep refreshing within a matter of seconds, then it will only change the order of the front page domains. However, this system will increase the frequency of your domains being seen on the front page overall. Let me know if you have any questions about this. Thanks!

Why make it so complex wouldn't it have been simpler to just rotate through the names, or list 13 new names everytime the page is refreshed
