AfternicDLS is having a monster day, after reporting selling Ticket.com for $1,525,000 and then looking at their recently sold domains I spotted that WV.com was sold for $145,000 and Luck.com was sold for $675,000. All together AfternicDLS has sold three premium domains for a total of $2,345,000 in a single day.

Yet another million dollar+ domain sale for the 2009 year. As reported by the AfternicDLS blog Ticket.com has sold for $1,525,000. The domain was promoted through the AfternicDLS global distribution network and was closed by a BuyDomains sales executive.

Sedo currently has TheaterTickets.com listed for sale at $400,000.

Just ran across the domain Logo.com for sale on Sedo with an asking price of $1,500,000. The auction states that the domain gets over 1,500 visits potential customers per day. Using these keyword research tools according to Google the keyword logo gets searched for over 45,000,000 times/month broad match and 1,000,000 times/month exact match. The longtail for key phrases with logo in them is absolutely huge, the domain is also PageRank 5 and has been registered since 1995.

When it comes to acquiring product domains from the aftermarket or hand registering the most common issue that arises is if you should get the singular or the plural (or both) of the product domain. It really comes down to what the product is, how it’s being purchased, the quantity it’s being sold as and the use of the domain.

For example DesignerJeans.com would always be plural, as a singular version doesn’t make sense. Singular product domains that would normally end in “es” as a plural, such as WineHutch.com or WineHutches.com tend to get significantly more search volume as the singular – some exceptions would be watches, lenses, etc. A product domain such as a BabyStroller.com would generally get more type-in traffic but BabyStrollers.com would make for a better e-commerce site, brands easier, and tell users that you sell more than one type of the product.
