I think the auction showed that decent prices can still be obtained for premium domains and especially country specific extensions.

years ago men.com 1.3mil now boy.com 45k good price

If anyone has interest in menhere.com let me know...

PornMD · 10-27-2009, 09:23 PM

Seems way overpriced even if it is getting that kind of traffic. For about 5 times that price the .tv can be had which is a MUCH better name given this tube age.

DaddyHalbucks · 10-27-2009, 09:42 PM

It's a fair price. "Porn" is the #1 adult keyword.

Correct.

But call me crazy, would those typeins be from southafrica, then i would really think that is not the audience someone is looking for.

Why not?

South Africa has been growing rapidly, places like Cape Town or Durban have large communities of wealthy people. It ranks 25th in the world in terms of GDP but only because many have nothing, if you only took the population that has access to the internet they would rank much higher.

Also more and more European expats buying property there...

I'm sure the person buying will put it to good use. You don't just overpay for a domain like that to park it on sedo... well at least I don't see the point in it.

Some pure gold domains for end users were sold at ridiculous low prices... congrats to the new owners

So did you think 5K was too low, fair or too much?

LoveSandra · 10-28-2009, 02:52 AM

over priced

Cyber Fucker · 10-28-2009, 08:36 AM

indeed, over over priced

And I really doubt it has 700 type-ins/month...

Porn.co.za Sold for $45,000.00

That's amazing, unbelievable that it makes so much money with so little traffic. Well, it is good quality traffic from search engines after all. And the domain name is "porn".

P.S. I love New York

Pornopat · 10-28-2009, 09:12 AM

You are all crazy. That is very underpriced. South Africa is a booming market.

No seo magic here. Just typeins

What makes you say that? is it because it is in Africa?

Maybe a trip to Cape Town would change your mind, or some Durban suburbs where you could swear you are in Florida.

South Africa has good infrastructure, good enough to host the 2010 Wold Cup next June, there is not a doubt in my mind the buyer can recoup his money very quickly.

BTW sedo stats say 24 171 visitors in the past 31 day, even if they aren't 100% accurate they won't be that far off.

regardless im surprised it makes 700/month as most ppc companies only pay pennies for countries like SA.

I thought it was fair, when i got home in the middle of dinner I had a chance to bid...but was hoping it would be passsed over...I then would have emailed Rick and made an offer for 3k, the guy maybe would have said 4k, I would have said 3.5K right now. Deal done.

I still think anything besides a .com has more risk in losing value.

I also think making $700 on a parked domain is great, but for a .co.za no way would I even consider paying the price it reached.

Wagerboy · 10-28-2009, 11:40 AM

Yeah, I have had porn.com.ro for years and years. Got sick SE traffic, the database went bad on it and I never touched it again. Anyone want it or broker it?
