Hmm, interesting. 6600 uniques per day and an absolutely recession-proof (in fact, the opposite: times are tough, more people searching) dead simple name make it a good buy.
Hate to burst bubbles, but the company jobs.com sold, not the domain name alone.
Monster.com bought it cause its competitor hotjobs.com is signing an excusive deal with yahoo.com. so to couterbalance they bought no.3
The articles I read said TMP were using the domain to redirect traffic to their Monster.com site. As far as the articles are concerned they bought the domain and trademark only.
If you've read anything different, can you paste the url? Thanks.
