Domain parking hotter than ever

So far in 2006 domain name on.com fetched $635,000, Macau.com was sold for $550,000, blue.com was sold for half a million, and Jasmin.com was bought for $310,000. With the exception of the last domain name, which is currently used for erotic video chat, the rest of the domains run some sort of domain parking ads. USA Today talks about revived interest to domain name trade, and companies like Marchex, a “leader in vertical and local traffic”, which happens to own a .com domain for every single zip code in the United States. There’s also a report that in the few days that .eu domain names were made available, 1,454,218 European domains were registered.
