AI.com before the $70 million sale - DNW Podcast #575

from Domain Name Wire Podcast · host Andrew Alleman, Jeff Gabriel

By now, you've surely heard about the record-shattering $70 million sale of ai.com. After the sale was announced, there were many erroneous news reports claiming that the seller had purchased the domain decades ago for $100. This isn't true, and anyone who pays attention to the domain business knows this. About five years ago, Saw.com brokered the sale of the domain, and this was widely reported in the press. On today's show, Saw.com founder Jeff Gabriel provides details on the previous sale of the valuable domain name and how the artificial intelligence market has changed since then. Also, I dig into the numbers a bit: the domain was bought and sold with cryptocurrency, so the seller's return wasn't quite what it seems. (But still, nothing to sneeze at!) Jeff also shares data about which countries and states are the most likely to convert to sales when you receive leads. This is valuable information! Also: GoDaddy's crazy terms, UDRP decline, and tax form relief Sponsor: Spaceship SellerHub
