BuyDomains Parent Buys GoldKey

[Ron Jackson]

A couple of news items from DNJournal's Lowdown section today (The Lowdown is now updated daily with the help of new special correspondent Ray Hackney - also known to NamePros members as equity78):

The parent company of BuyDomains.com has purchased Florida-based PPC provider GoldKey.com. A joint announcement from the two companies issued March 17 said "we are pleased to announce that GoldKey has been acquired by Domain Services, LLC (a division of YesDirect, Inc.). YesDirect also owns and operates BuyDomains.com, Seeq and the YesDirect Network." The release added "We expect to significantly enhance domain parking performance, experience and overall value. In the coming weeks, look forward to new enhancements, features and opportunities to enjoy the benefits of the new Goldkey."

...A recent survey by the statistics company IPWalk.com revealed 40-50% jumps in domain registration rates in Russia, Canada and Luxembourg over the last 9 months of 2005. Growth in the U.S. was also robust at 30%. Surprisingly two countries known for strong IT sectors, Taiwan and India, showed almost no domain registration growth at all.

Looks like Sedo stock may fall a little.

I have tried emailing GoldKey on two different occasions & never received any replies ?

I have used GoldKey and was not impressed. I think BuyDomains came by for GoldKey's going out of business sale.

Really a non-event. They must have bought it to get the people or maybe some technology but I doubt they paid any big money for it.
