I thought I would create a post today not having to do with places to go when looking for cheap domain name registration but some of the most popular domain name reseller news of 2007. Buying domains became a very popular form of online investment and that popularity seems to be only speeding up. Here are the domain name reseller 2007 news I picked out:
- .Mobi becomes an extremely popular URL extension. URL investors all over fell in love with this domain name and now it is common to see when looking at URLs.
- 2007 marked a time of increasing prices on popular domain names. Investors worldwide have continued to buy domain names at high prices and that trend does not seem to be disappearing in 2008.
- Purchasing domain name typos. 2007 marked a time of lawsuits and many investors who purchased URLs that were extremely close to already popular websites. Take this example: Foogle.com bought and made into a search engine that would gain some Google typo traffic.
- Registries increased their prices in 07 due to domain name purchase popularity.
