    Sounds like the pizza.com story only this time sedo isn't involved. In this case I don't think it will help in selling the name for real.

    It's a fact (little known but a fact nonetheless IMHO) that the actual extension can aid in SEO if that extension is an exact match for part of the search phrase.

    Two identical sites, identical content, age, incoming links etc.

    One is called australia.com, one is called australia.travel

    The latter would do better for a search "travel to australia" for example.

    .Asia and .TV also profit from this part of Google's algo..

    However that is off-topic I guess. I can't believe that sale took place either....

    Agree. Name is good but NOT worth for $3.3 million. IMO, fake sale.

    I can not believe that this deal is true. Dot travel should not garner that much money. Maybe travel.com or travel.net could see this type of sale, but not .travel. Dot com is here to rule for years to come.

    I think answers.travel was not that much. If it were asia.travel or europe.travel, then it would have been fine.

    I agree. It's a nice way of getting attention and publicity.

    Whois.travel on 31-jan-2009 shows the registrant, admin contact, billing contact and technical contact for answers.travel to be registrar Encirca. A random lookup of other .travel names shows Encirca as admin/billing/technical but unique identifying data (not Encirca) as registrant. Maybe Travel411 (which has public whois) arranged a whois privacy deal for answers.travel while announcing the 3.3m deal to the world. Yeah, that makes sense.

    Website travel411.com has no obvious link to or mention of their blockbuster Q3-2008 acquisition.

    If anyone registers at answers.travel please let us know if Canadian felons can visit Mexico, thanks!

    if someone would have asked to buy the domain, I would hesitate even paying the reg fee for answers.travel.

    lol

    yeah, we do know. its absolute garbage

    read this:
    http://www.dnforum.com/f489/complete...ad-347347.html

    domainfest sales results.

    free.travel $3k
    city.travel $2.5k

    this extension is a pile of dung. years on the regfees are skyhigh and it has no aftersales and the search engines hate it

    the above 2 domains are far in excess of the domain 'sold'

    now, who do we report those suckers to for falsifying sales data?
