Sedo Reports Domain Sales Growth
March 22, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Last year saw significant growth across the domain name market, according to data analysis conducted by domain name marketplace Sedo (sedo.com). The company analyzed data from more than 25,000 secondary domain sales, and says they revealed a considerably increased interest in and value derived from domain names.
Based on all 6,500 sales reported on DNJournal (dnjournal.com) from October 2003 to January 2006 and the more than 18,000 Sedo sales during the same period, there was a significant rise in sales of domain names on the secondary market.
Meanwhile, reported secondary domain sales between 2004 and 2005 increased by 58 percent to more than $60 million. During that period, the number of domains sold increased by 75 percent, rising from 9,000 to more than 16,000.
"The significant increase in sales volume - $60 million - and domains sold on the secondary market in 2005 - more than 16,000 - illustrates how valuable domain names can be and that people are trying to improve their online presence whether for personal or business reasons," says Matt Bentley, chief strategy officer of Sedo.
