SEO.com domain sells for $5M
 

Sold to Mike Mann's VC company.

Heady times! :thumbsup

damn, that's a great domain...

well worth it

hahah on that blog it had this listed that sold


Zango.net $1,603 Hmmm, Zango.com might take these guys out.

5 million? for what exactly?

only the domain isnt really worth $5M

A twist to this story is that in February the owner of the domain tried to cold call the name to SEO industry people @ $500k, and of course got laughed out of the room. :pimp:pimp

real biz.........

And here's where it might hurt for some of you: Only 30 uniques a day and $5 in revenue. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

They certainly made some money out of that

the guy knows his bussiness

Seems way overpriced to me.....

This on the heels of condo.com selling for $10M a few weeks ago.

Wow another big sale!

wow, amazing...

thats a lot ;)

It's a good name, but honestly 5 million is crazy for a name like that. Sure it's a awesome name in it's nice circle, but really how many average Joe's' on the net have a clue as to what SEO means. Or better yet how many would even care.

IMO 500k was probably a realistic number but maybe even 250k. Some idiot paying 5 million for that domain, is why the internet bubble is going to burst again.

$5,000,000 ? much too much...

Tomud

That's a hefty price.

"Web Targeted is now SEO.com"

5M for the whole company perhaps.

If it was only for the domain it's way overpriced

Definetively worth that much...

Nope. Domain only. :thumbsup

Didn't see this one DB, whois history is all the same - mabey they haven't updated it yet?

huh, too bad i didn't buy back it in 1995... :(

Mike,

I have hostingforums.com - we should do something... mabey like a wht type of site?

have had alot of offers for it, but don't really want to sell - would love to develop with a partner.

thanks

Todd

Holy crap, nice sale. But 5m though...not sure if it could gain that back easily, although reselling the domain in the years to come could increase its value as domains become scarce.

I got this nice one:

SEOdude.com

;)

Getting back to the heady days of business.com

Yea, we were discussing that on another board. Dunno, could be partial payments, whois doesn't change until full payment. Hard to tell. Wicked site up there though--and they're trying to do social networking type site.

I was thinking that, but a very nice site :)

Funny.

I've heard of the same, and felt it with a domain myself. Truly priceless when it goes on to generate more revenue.

Guess it comes down to the LAST laugh... all the way to the bank.

:2 cents:

retarded buyer id say

Condo.com looks nice.
