I’m not one for playing the domain name game: any time I’ve even dabbled I’ve got it wrong, the chances of finding a few names worth a lot are pretty slim, and I don’t have the time or inclination to work with a lot of small names making a few bucks here and there.
Oh, if only I had owned Top10.com, which a British company has just bought for around $1m. Yes, that’s one million dollars.
Granted, it’s a pretty nifty name, and because the company who now owns it specialises in technology comparison websites, makes a lot of sense to own.
Potentially small change as well, given that the company turned over £9m last year and gets 1.5m visitors every month. Quite interesting that it’s a UK company, too, because I still think that us Brits are a bit behind the times compared to the US when it comes to the Net.
It’s still a fraction of what was paid for the likes of sex.com, business.com and casino.com, but not to be sniffed at either.
Why not pay, when there is so much business sense to it?
$1 million for one domain!! Thats too much!!
