Making Money With Domains

The Ultimate Domaining Resource

Company continues to churn out aftermarket sales including a couple for six figures.

I’m a bit behind checking in on GoDaddy’s auction sales report for last month. But it was a great month for the service.

In total it sold 42,321 domains, headlined by the developed site psoriasis.com at $350,000. In second was AFW.com for $125,000, setting a pretty sturdy bar for a good three letter .com domain.

App.me sold for $50,000 as well.

As usual, sales were split fairly evenly between Buy Now and Auction sales, with only a relative handful of offer/counter-offer sales.

The top word contained in sold domains — no surprise here — was “online”. Other top keywords include blog, home, free, realestate, insurance, and music.

    Grace will be responsible for growing the company’s Domain Power monetization platform.

    Domain Holdings was founded by long time domainer Chad Folkening as well as John Ferber, co-founder of Advertising.com. A number of domain industry employees have landed in its stables over the past year.

    The Association for Corporate Growth bought GrowTheconomy.com for $1,295. I wonder if this was an acciental purchase, as it omits the second ‘e’ for economy. At first I thought the might be buying a typo of GrowTheEconomy.com, but they don’t own that domain.

    Private Eye Security bought EavesDroppingDetection.com for $750 at Sedo.
