sales Reink Media Group Confirms the Acquisition of Investor.com

Spaceship Spaceship
Regular readers of the NamePros blog may recognise the name Blain Reinkensmeyer. In 2015, we published an interview with Blain, profiling his purchase of the domain StockBrokers.com for $185,000.

Since then his company has been busy developing the domain ForexBrokers.com into a fully functioning business. This week, Blain has confirmed with NamePros that his Reink Media have acquired the domain name Investor.com.

Unfortunately, Blain was unable to disclose any details of the transaction, but he did describe it as "our largest acquisition to date by far."

Speaking to us about why Reink Media decided to acquire the domain, Blain said:
The opportunity to own and develop Investor.com is one we could not pass up. We are extremely excited and have some unique plans for the project. We expect the site to launch before the year's end.

According to DomainIQ, the seller of this name was computing giant Microsoft. Whilst the sales price cannot be revealed, it's likely to be a high six or seven-figure sale.

A similar name, Invest.com, sold for over $5 million a couple of years ago. We interviewed the owner of Invest.com in 2016.

Noble idea but completely flawed. You are overestimating ad revenue. On average you are lucky to see $1 per thousand views. How much of a business will that work out to? You can invest... But it would not cover the cost of postage.
I was a part of youtube/adsense for a few years and made 6000 in those 2 years, and about 2,000,000 views in that time. I would like to see something similar to that on FB, but so far that has not happened. Revenue shares from website owners are great if they can still remain profitable.

Facebook profit sharing? Hah. Not going to happen.Most of their revenue is due to the extremely granular advertising that they can do, thanks to the users who are more than happy to share ALL of their details.... something people do not do on youtube.

YouTube is really a video search engine.... FaceBook is a toilet bowl for now now now thoughts, hence why most advertising dollars from serious folks will go to Youtube.

The reality is, Facebook is already facing user issues, and hence why they bought out Instagram and looking for future growth. Youtube on the other hand keeps on growing and growing.

In 10 years, who knows if and who will still be using FB... ie MySpace was immortal too. lol.

AS far as Investor.com, it would be perfect as a regular investment research site, like SeekingAlpha.com, anything else would just be bad business sense.

I think it's a seven figured amount.
