Don't know if this has been posted yet - pretty interesting though:

Story Here

CreditCards.com, nice:thumbsup

Wow.

Current status: Overture Services purchased AltaVista for about $107 million in cash and stock in 2003

good read :glugglug

nice!

KRL has been outdone :helpme

How much do you think gofuckyourself.com is worth? Would be pretty interesting to know.

Yes! And what a wonderfully grand way to be outdone.

Do it to me every day like that!

And thank you Lord for proving I wasn't a schmuck afterall like so many people were saying and laughing at me for investing a million buckaroos on one domain.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

wtf thats realllly much

Fuck, its worldwide publicity day again.

:helpme

wow

that's a lot of bling

i think thats way too much for that domain name.

And that's exactly what everyone was saying to me a few months ago at half that amount.

That's a great domain the guy bought and worth every penny and then some.

I'm really surprised more of the other players here with big dollars haven't seen this next wave coming and jumped on it already.

It's going to be a beauty this time around guys.

Grab your surf boards and take some risk.

The more these properties get bid up the more the equity values for all the great domains are going to skyrocket.

:thumbsup

You've got to remember that CreditCards.com had an estimated monthly turnover of $30-40K/mo as well (in advertising and pay-for-conversion), something that affects the domain price.

nice :thumbsup

I couldn't sleep all night. This is such great news validating what Rick (Webfather) and I were concluding about the next big wave for domain values.

VERY very nice sale! I'm digging deeper into domains myself. Got a nice type-in portfolio and building!:Graucho

Great name, impressive price, i wonder what the website looker before though....

I remember when Dec. just threw AltaVisat into the deal when Compaq bought them, didn't think it was worth anything. Then Compac sold it for like 500 million. Don't remember who bought it.

interesting read!

"Jackson agreed, saying the Internet advertising rebound has had an immediate impact on the value of domain names. Simple pay-for-click sites, like Candy.com, now earn as much as $10 per user they send to an e-commerce site, Jackson said. And when a visitor to a site like CreditCards.com actually signs up for a new credit card, the bounty is as high as $50, he said."


:eek2

Damn... 50 on a cpa deal? That is something worth checking out...

Maybe I could sell my TGP domain to a big carpet retailer... :1orglaugh

Very nice domain. Gets a LOT of traffic too.

Cheers,
Matt

He should put a TGP on it, and than have across the top 'NO CREDIT CARDS'. Good idea no?

:winkwink:

what domain name did u purchase for half that KRL

:thumbsup

Good news for domain holders.

Who's the retard that paid that much for asseenontv.com?

:thumbsup

I was thinking the same thing :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

The other domains are at least high in value due to name or potential status. I never even heard of asseenontv.com before.

:1orglaugh

damn that beats my last month sell of MILFhandjobs.com for $100

GODDAMN IT! How come I didn't come up with creditcards.com

AsSeenOnTV.com is a huge shopping site if you've never been there before.

That's what I was wondering yesterday.

Did they buy it with the site already built? Or just the domain?
