Travelzoo buys fly.com for $1.8 Million
in Articles by marcel van der laan
Just before the weekend United States based Travelzoo, known for it’s travel offers from various other travel companies, announced that it purchased the domain Fly.com for an astonishing amount of $ 1.800.000,00.
Whereas other travel companies are limiting their expenses, Travelzoo is looking confident in making such an investment. According to Travelzoo’s announcement the fly.com website will be relaunched in February and will feature a new travel search engine.
Having a pagerank of 6, being over 12 years old and having a huge amount of pages available in search engines still doesn’t justify the amount of money being paid for a single domain, to me that is. Ofcourse they will receive plenty of direct traffic, but whether it will cover the $ 1.8 million remains to be seen.
Still, even the enormous amount of $1.8 million fly.com is not even close to be listed in the top 10 for most expensive domain names ever. In 2006, Sex.com sold for $14 million, making it the most expensive domain name ever. Other expensive domains are fund.com ($9,99 million), business.com ($7.5 million) and beer.com ($7 million).
