We beat last year’s top domain name sales by $2,031,358. Notice that all of the top sales are .com compared to last year which had 4 non .com sales.

2009 sales $18,150,000 (left side) 2008 sales $16,118,642 (right side)

Some may argue the numbers and would say that we’ve sold even more. A few domain name sales not recorded in DNJournal’s YTD sales chart are Cricket.com ($1.7mil), DropShippers.com ($1.5mil) and Insure.com ($16mil). Ron Jackson does not include a sale that may have an increased value because of the established business/website on those domain names. If we were to include these domain names we would have doubled last year’s sales.

Good job domain industry! Now let’s see if we can beat these numbers next year.
