Parent company of eNom enters into agreement to buy Demand.com domain name.

The domain name Demand.com is in demand.

Demand Media, parent company of eNom and NameJet, has entered into an agreement to purchase the domain name Demand.com for corporate branding purposes. The sale was announced today in a press release from the seller inter123 Corporation. The sale price was not released.

Inter123 was founded by Jeffrey Peterson, an entrepreneur mostly known for launching Hispanic portal Quepasa.com. According to its web site, Inter123 is a private equity fund focused on information technology and new media companies, although its portfolio page doesn’t show many investments.

Demand Media started as a company trying to bring social media to a vast direct navigation portfolio, but its strategy has seemed to morph since then. In addition to owning eNom, the company owns a number of popular web sites such as Trails.com, Cracked.com, and eHow.com. It also has a partnership with the Lance Armstrong Foundation for LiveStrong.com.

Company continues domain name liquidation.

The whois information for Mouse.com and Keyboard.com have changed, with the administrative email now showing domain name broker Sedo. This confirms that Live Current Media (OTC: LIVC.ob) has completed a sale of the two domain names, as DotWeekly observed on July 17. Mouse.com sold for $125,000 and Keyboard.com sold for $100,000.

Neither of these seem like spectacular domain names to me, as Keyboards.com would be preferred to the singular version. But when you do a little digging you see how even the singular version makes sense. For example, there’s a magazine called Keyboard Magazine, which uses the domain name KeyboardMag.com and caters to the music industry. That’s just one end user that might be interested in this domain name. And of course, there are plenty of ads available for the terms keyboard and mouse.

Neither domain name receives enough traffic for Compete.com to get an accurate read on them, but the service still suggests they each receive over 1,000 unique visitors per month.
