Sedo, the leading online domain marketplace and monetization provider, today announced it will hold its Travel and Geographical domain-themed auction, featuring premium addresses with a broad selection of extensions.
Large and small to medium-sized travel industry organizations alike and domain investors will have the opportunity to acquire some of the most desirable properties, including Belgium.com, VisitSpain.net, Tourism.biz, and Souvenirs.net. This Sedo auction will run from 9 a.m. EST on March 5, 2010 to 9 a.m. EST on March 12, 2010. In addition to these valuable virtual properties that will be auctioned off, Sedo is offering highly desired fixed-price domains, including PuertoRico.com, Sweden.com, Hotel.eu, and Morocco.com. Sedo’s ongoing “Buy it Now” inventory is available anytime at www.sedo.com/Travel .
Travel and geo domains are some of the most valuable online properties on the market today. Sedo brokered some of the highest sales in 2009, including Russia.com for $1.5 million, the second highest sale ever in its category, Fly.com, which was acquired by TravelZoo for $1.6 million, Brazil.com for $500,000, and Jets.com for $375,000. In addition, GetaRoom.com, which was also purchased through Sedo.com, is being successfully used as a search engine for great deals on hotel rooms.
“We are extremely happy with our purchase of the domain name getaroom.com. It is easy to remember and stands out from the crowd,” said Bob Diener, founder of Getaroom.com. “We have been advertising getaroom.com to build brand awareness, but the name itself has been driving visitors to our competitive hotel rates.”
“Through this auction and our ongoing inventory of domains, Sedo offers companies of all sizes and budgets, the opportunity to obtain domain names that are ideal for promoting targeted traffic to their business. Whether an investor is looking to participate in this auction event, purchase a domain for a set price, or consult with one of our brokers, Sedo offers each buyer a platform to confidently find the right domain at the right price for their business needs,” said Jeremiah Johnston, chief operating officer of Sedo. “With these premium properties, organizations can implement an effective online marketing strategy that drives maximum traffic to their doorstep, saves money on search engine marketing and improves their position in search rankings.”
Sedo is still accepting travel and geo domains for this auction event.
