I guess cheapholidaydeals.co.uk and cheapaccomodation.com must have been worth £1.1m?

undeveloped as domains mid $$$
developed with revenue £1.1m

Yea Badger....
So much for "3 words/reg fee" and "Too long/reg fee" appraisers
looking like they have even a semblance of a clue.

www.cheapholidaydeals.co.uk is an incredibly well developed website (not a domain name) with a pagerank 8 and over 80,000 pages indexed by Google. This was simply a case of the Telegraph confusing domain names with developed websites and referring to these sites as both domain names and developed websites.

At one point they state “The Internet Business Group (IBG) has spent more than £1m to get hold of three domain names and at another “ The current sites already generate hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of advertising revenue”.


This reminds me of how one writer referred to Namepros.com as a BLOG. I’m as dumb as they get at this forum but it always amazes me that someone who is paid to write about internet activity seem so often to confuse the simplest technical terms.




Best wishes,
Kimmy
