It means fortune telling in French, it's a big keyword.

ok...but it's a dot org!....you sure it wasn't the dot com that sold??

 

[BidNo]

Agree it's a big keyword; extension is .org (see auction link above). If the transaction closes this will be the third highest, public .org sales of all time.

Just 1 bidder makes it look suspicious.. but we can always keep a tab on sedo's front page listing

[Soofi]

[keyser]

Google page 1 helped I guess.

 

[britishbulldog]

lol
this never sold in a million years

its alexa 1.3 million, a mickey mouse 2 quid site, covered in adsense , 1 bid and sent to auction on 90k euros? like you would send to auction

the only way it could get to this price (and would have to be a better name and site) is if sedo directly brokered it, then it would never see an auction

 

[keyser]

Time will tell : can be fake, can be real, nobody knows yet.

totally agree...that is no developed site....a few paragraphs on each page just for "some content"....with adsense all over the place.....

Alexa rank is really not accurate for french websites AFAIK.

This sale (if it takes place) is obviously based on the search engine rankings and the earnings of the current website.

FYI voyance.net (domain name only) sold for $31250 in 2008

 

[katherine]

IMO this was a case of 'must-have the right keyword' in spite of the TLD.

Why would somebody fake a Sedo sale? What do they have to gain?

$ 3000 for insurants.org last month - sometimes people like .org's

I have few decent .org's lets see people like it or not, but few domainers have already labeled it "junk"!

AutoDeal,org
Entrain,org
CaliforniaStore,org
ColoradoOnline,org
OregonOnline,org
MassachusettsOnline,org
LouisianaOnline,org
PokerBasics,org
QatarTravel,org

P.S. if you think this is spam, please dont quote it and I will edit my post to remove domain names from here :yes:

Why would somebody fake a Sedo sale? What do they have to gain?

Some ppl do that to try and get their domains into Sedo auction in the hope of starting a bid war amongst potential buyers or end users. But most of them fail cuz everyone has their own opinion about what is premium & what is junk!!
