Porno.com sells for over 8 million
 

not sure to who but apparently they also own swingers.com


one helluva sale.

Congrats to the winner.

Big sale for Rick, just shy of 9 mill ;)

That's the Domain King..... he does some awesome deals and this bodes well for the domain market this year probably boosted by the frothy stock market and all the VC and tech IPO activity.... Here's the scoop:

Rick Schwartz Sells Porno.Com For $8,888,888: The 4th Highest Reported Domain Sale Of All Time

That's a big sale.

another sexy hardlink for xnxx.com?

guess there is money in that xvideos.com website.

Great sale....so who searchs porno these days?

Europeans say 'porno'. :)

Bet you dollars to donuts (8 million of them) porno.com doesn't make back 1/5 of that money.

1/3 of the world calls it porno. Why couldn't he work with that part to make it big? Is there a big Spanish tube?

if you look what they did with swingers it's obvious why they bought it. investment / traffic.

Did you read the whole thing ?

"Since owning the domain name, the Domain King told us that Porno.com ?has earned well in excess of over $10 million via parking and redirects without ever providing actual adult content.?

He bought it in 1997 and parking had its heydays, long gone now.

This called serious biz...

Say what?

OK - a lot for an EMD that you cannot trademark.

Good luck <rolls eyes>

very nice sale

people around here sure like to think small.

nice sale.. i sold a domain for $5k once, a year later it was available again bought it and sold again for $5k.. best domain ever hehe

I meant from this day forward.
Of course I may be wrong but how will we know what the domain actually makes anyway? Reports? LOL

It's the xvideos guys that bought it

It's a good sale, no doubt.

no money in porno

Wow, if that's true, I'm kicking myself. Many years ago, I was offered that domain in exchange for my whole business. I considered it, and said "no"....

Some of knew him as Webfather.

That's crazy! I guess the new gtlds haven't dropped the .coms value that much ;)

That's massive... Not so sure on the "o" version of the word being worth that much though.

Nice sale. Too bad I wasn't smart enough to grab a few in the day.

No kidding. Apparently it's the 4th highest reported domain sale of all time.

The top 3? Sex.com ($13 million), Fund.com ($10 million) and Porn.com ($9.5 million).

So much for there no longer being money in the porn biz.

I have Porn.Fund how much is that worth ;)

not.much


.

I think you already answered for me here

That's a really big sale... Congrats... :) :thumbsup

:1orglaugh:thumbsup

woow congrats, that's a nice domain :thumbsup

Anyone remember pornno.com ? "That's porn with two N's"

JJJs!!!!!!!!!!

Damn that's a blast from the past

Even though its great price, I bet it pained Rick to sell for that. I wonder what he's funding with the profits.. that's where the real interest lays.. ^^

That's a lot the guy that owns xnxx and xvideos paid for it ... I remember they also bought freeporn.com some time ago

Strange. On porno.com he has xvideos, legalporno and xnxx all nofollow in his code

$19.5 million. It's simple maths.

congrats to the winners!!!

they also bought xxx.com recently.

he has hundreds of domains that link to his money sites (xvideos, xnxx), they are all hosted on same hosting and it's obvious they are owned by same person so using dofollow links would actually more harm than help.

Makes sense. I would just wonder why he wouldn't spread that many domains and site across multiple hosts. Seems like a lazy way to do it. I do understand that a lot of his sites do not need the link juice, but still.

Well I guess the question of whether or not the big tubes make bank has been answered.

great sale for that domain
