I have bought 2 sites from Odys Global and they have both been of high quality with great backlinks. I have used one as the basis for creating a new site with a great DR and the other is a redirect with again high DR backlinks. Other sites I have looked through have low quality backlinks, mostly spam. I highly recommend this company for reliable sites.

I’ve bought over 30 domains from Odys Global in the last two years and I was always very satisfied. Besides great quality, niche-specific auction domains, Alex also helped me a lot with SEO and marketing strategies. Auction domains are not cheap, but quality comes with a price. If you have the budget and a working strategy, these domains will make you serious money.

Earlier this year, I purchased an aged domain from Odys as part of a promo they’re running at the time. It was my first experience with buying an aged domain so I wanted to keep my spend low. I ended up getting a mid level DR domain for a good price. The domain had solid links from niche relevant high authority websites. I used the site as a 301 redirect to a blog I had recently started. Within a few weeks I enjoyed new traffic levels on my existing site. Happy to say that the Odys staff are friendly and helpful and they run a great business that is respected within the industry.
How Neuroscience Can Generate a Healthier Architecture
Over the last decade or so, work in the field of neuroscience has begun to provide a new understanding of how architecture affects our bodies and minds. The findings could offer a revolutionary new basis for adaptive and healing design4,9,22. Humankind stands at the threshold of an innovative approach to buildings and cities driven by science instead of abstract expressionist aesthetics, which have come to dominate the “cutting-edge” in architecture1.
Will this new approach make a difference? Design based on architecture that is informed by results in neuroscience has three important implications: (i) It might eventually replace accepted design typologies that evidently contribute to the degradation of human well-being. (ii) It can re-validate many older adaptive methods that were abandoned in the push for visual design innovation. (iii) It might revolutionize architectural education by radically transforming the present studio system of teaching.
After summarizing some of the key results obtained so far, I outline how different groups of researchers and thinkers need to link to each other in order to define the new discipline. At the same time, I point out major ideological obstacles to adopting this emerging design approach. I suggest an experiment that might explain the disagreement between the sometimes opposite opinions of architects and common people7,23.
2. Can neuroscience help create a more healing architecture?
During the past few years, we are discovering how the built environment affects our psychological state and long-term health1,9,11,17,22. Design that applies a combination of neuroscience, physiology, and psychology is defining a new discipline for constructing a much healthier world. For example, Roger Ulrich showed in 1984 that a natural view from a hospital window improved healing7,19. Thirty years later, his findings have been incorporated into Biophilic Design, which an increasing number of practitioners are integrating into their projects15.
Architecture schools and professionals are very reluctant to change their habits.
Other experiments reveal the need for bilateral symmetry and abstract face-like features in buildings; not as aesthetic preferences, but because our neural system seeks to connect with those specific features in the environment21,22. Humans try to identify specific geometries such as: a vertical-axis bilateral symmetry around a building’s entrance (exactly as in an animal’s face); the entrance itself defining an opening like a “mouth”; symmetrically-positioned detailed regions that could remind us of “eyes”; and other symmetrical “ear”-like or “nostril”-like elements on both sides, etc.15,21,22
How interior and exterior spaces affect us is the next priority for study. For decades, the shape of habitable volumes has been determined strictly according to formal criteria16. Architecture schools and professionals are very reluctant to change their habits, even when common people show preferences opposite to those of trained architects7. But our evolving understanding reveals the need for spatial design to take inspiration from our neuro-physiological preference for curves and a sense of enclosure3,20. Most of us rely on our neurophysiology for evaluating a building or urban space, whereas architectural training conditions us to override natural responses7,17,18,23.
3. New design toolkits from Christopher Alexander and Biophilia.
One group of researchers and practitioners focuses on the design framework created by Christopher Alexander1,2. Key mathematical concepts underpinning this research effort include Alexander’s “Fifteen Fundamental Properties”1, biophilia10,15,19, complexity11,12,14,21, convex space1,2,16, design patterns2,16, fractals13,22, scaling coherence1,14, and symmetries1,11. Together, these linked and overlapping sub-disciplines define an innovative approach that aims to break design free from the industry’s image-based paradigm.
Environmental psychologists are convinced that an environment built by following these adaptive design rules is measurably better for human health, intelligence, and well-being8,11,15,21. Architectural practice is long overdue for a paradigm shift that recognizes an innate need for cognitive relationships. The above design techniques were developed either from heuristics (observation), or mathematics, and are now being partly confirmed by neuroscience.
