Yeah, although the sale goes beyond simply the domain assets. It's a successful business with high penetration in the search engine market.

Does that include reference.com thesaurus.com, etc?

 

[Theo]

The whole 96-volume encyclopaedia

To quote one article on the story on the Dictionary.com/Reference.com/Thesaurus.com sites: "They generated...net income of $2.8 million in 2006."

35 YRs net revenue for the assets. Good sale, but I'm sure answers.com has a much more valuable way to integrate them.

You should all congratulate DNForum member Dictionaryof, he was one of the first few members here.

Good job Dictionaryof.

Congrats from Greensboro.
Like the URL 'God.com,' I think "Dictionary.com" is one of those sites, everyone will visit once in their lifetime.

Is 'Dictionaryof' the the buyer or seller?
