Trio of Six-Figure Sales Triggers a Fabulous Fortnight for Domains

Duke · 09-06-2005, 09:20 PM

The new domain sales report is out at DNJournal.com - a double-length article featuring two week's worth of data (following postponement of last week's column due to a hack attack). Domain sales exploded over the past 14 days as the industry enjoyed what may have been its best fortnight of 2005. There was a trio of 6-figure sales and no less than 34 domains that cracked at least 5 figures! Business was brisk in all extensions and all domain categories. This week's leader was a $120,000 Spanish keyword domain. On the New TLD front there were eight 4-figure sales including one of the ten biggest sales reported thus far in 2005.

On a personal level I want to thank all of you who sent or phoned in information and offers to help with the hacking incident that occurred while I was traveling last week. I'm sorry there were so many messages I didn't get to reply individually to most of you but I truly appreciate the time that you took to share your knowledge and support. Since I got back, I have been tied up with the new sales report and a new cover story that will be out this week, after which I am going to focus on the information you've provided me and consult with others who are working to apprehend the person responsible.

Education is a big Money maker - I'm sure most universities spend a ton more than $45,805 on advertising and publicity every year

Oh I understand that education is a money maker and universities spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to promote their universities

Maybe snapcheck.com is to "blame" for the spike in sales....?

Glad to see the sales report back up. Gives me something to read in my "office"
