The most expensive domain in the Word is Sex.com website

sex.com

sex.com

The recent sale of sex.com, brokered by domain marketplace operator Sedo, has resulted in a Guinness World Record for “most expensive internet address domain name”.

Sex.com was sold for $13 million by Escom to Clover Holdings on 17 November 2010.

To put this in some context: in its 10 years of existence, Sedo says it has brokered about $400 million worth of domain names, including a number of other seven-figure transactions for premium domains such as Vodka.com, Pizza.com and Russia.com.

Needless to say, the Guinness World Record will only further strengthen the notion of sex.com being the most valuable domain name on the Internet, although we should note that there’s always a slight chance a higher price for another domain name was paid at some point, in a private transaction.[ad code=1 align=center]

Dynamics of SEO and Programming

Google happens to be the most dominant in this perspective but it is closely followed by Yahoo and then MSN which has now turned into LIVE. The technical development concentrates on the possibility of putting the products on the front line of the listings. In most cases the top page is the aim. That is about the top ten listings. If the management of the program has been particularly effective it is important to have the same website with listings on different products on the engines. This is a rare occurrence that is soon cancelled out by the efforts of the rivals who make it their business to get to the top. Continue reading
