An industrial parts company, a law firm, and a private equity research platform made notable domain purchases this week, showcasing a diverse range of interests in the domain market.
In light of these transactions, an interesting trend has emerged: more domains are being monetized via zero-click ads. These ads redirect users to an advertiser’s site directly. This shift had been anticipated following the substantial changes made by Google Adsense for Domains, which rendered many parked domains less profitable. Unfortunately, this transition has led to instances of domains redirecting to dubious sites claiming that users’ computers are infected with viruses. There is a pressing need for zero-click advertising companies to address these issues.
Notable domain sales from Sedo this week include qfx.io, sold for $49,888, and dcf.org, fetching $45,000. While these domains have yet to be developed, they are expected to be used by end users.
Here’s a summary of some end-user domain name sales recently completed at Sedo:
- Exquip.com – $20,000: A domain for a company that sells pipe protectors, redirecting to its .de domain.
