Only 30% of most expensive domains sold in 2006 actually in use

Posted by pinolobu on April 6, 2007 at 4:42 pm · Under general

Dailydomainer.com reported in January that  of the 100 highest priced domains sold last year:

  • 18 have been developed
  • 8 redirect to a developed site
  • 5 are affiliate sites
  • 6 currently under development
  • 9 don’t work at all
  • … and 54 show PPC (pay per click) ads.

This means that a large percentage of the domain market’s high end is fueled by domainer-to-domainer sales, and/or that most “traditional” sales (to end users) go unreported.

The report goes on to list the domains. I have selected domains which cost more than half a million US dollars:

Diamond.com $7,500,000.00   Developed site
Vodka.com $3,000,000.00   Redirects to developed site
Cameras.com $1,500,000.00   PPC
NAV.no $717,978.00   Developed site
On.com $635,000.00   Redirects to developed site
AntiSpyware.com $550,000.00   Developed site
Macau.com $550,000.00   Developed site
