Topix.com sells privately for a cool million! :eek:
Think the .net was developed & they bought up the com. Not sure, either way, the sales are flying in!
Hope they didn't buy shares with the cash :smilewinkgrin:

We have been advertising in Topix for +2 years, it's a site having a very huge traffic and of high quality for local services.

Topix was purchased by an association of American newspapers around a year ago. And trust me they are very well funded.

A very well known brand for online news that buy the com, that make sense.

Why would any Web company that's amassed a good amount of traffic ever change its Web address? Topix.net, The switch could have "disastrous short-term results"

Overture did it years ago (before being bought by Yahoo) when they were GoTo.com and it worked out fine. Seemed a bit crazy at the time, but if you handle it right there should not be any problems.
