ccTLD Investors Magazine

Another exciting week of ccTLD sales over at Sedo with an interesting one leading the pack as k.to went for $40,000 USD. I’m fairly certain this is the first time a .TO domain has been in the #1 spot however as a very short and brandable name I’m not overly surprised. The ccTLD space has [...]

This week Afternic DLS gave ccTLD Investors something to get excited about announcing a new partnership with Russia’s first and largest registrar, RU-Center. This new partnership means that premium domains listed with Afternic will now be visible to people searching for domains through RU-Center. On top of that, they will also be offering their Instant [...]

Sedo had yet another great week of ccTLD Sales with Wiggle.ru taking the top spot at 12,000 EUR (~$15,500). This is one of the first times I’ve seen a .RU name in the top spot but I don’t think this is a sign that .RU is suddenly taking-over, but it certainly shows that the TLD [...]

New gTLDs has been one of the hottest topics in the Domaining industry all year, and with very good reason. There is no doubt that the new gTLDs will impact the space, some think it will be a good thing, others think it could hurt the value of existing TLDs. In the great gTLD discussion [...]

OnlineCasino.co sold for $100,000 (DNJournal) in a private sale about two weeks ago and the new owner is wasting no time getting started. The site currently has a basic WordPress site on it with casino strategy but via Twitter the new owner has indicated that games will be coming soon: That tweet came just one [...]

Sedo had some absolutely incredible ccTLD sales last week led by 3GStore.DE for 135,000 EUR or around $180,000 USD. 3GStore.DE is an already established site selling (no surprises here) 3G phones. According to Compete.com the site currently gets a very small amount of traffic so there’s a good chance this name was bought for the [...]

Sedo had another great week of ccTLD Sales led by lvp.ch for 12,000 EUR. Strong performance still seen from .DE as usual with OutletCity.de selling for 10,000 EUR. I was also surprised to see a .US domain in the top ten with PestControl.us selling for $5,000. I think that US-based businesses are starting to see increased [...]

Search Engine Watch wrote an interesting piece earlier this month about the Top Five International Link-Building Blunders.
