SedoSedo’s monthly Great Domains domain auction concluded earlier today, and the result was one of the most successful Great Domains auctions in quite some time. In total, 18 domain names were sold, and the auction grossed over $225,000.

Leading the way in this auction were three letter .com domain names. The three highest results were LLL.com domain names, including Tin.com ($77,000), ENS.com (38,200 EUR), and HSE.com ($30,000). Several four letter .com domain names were also sold in the auction.

Listed below are the domain names that were sold in the auction. Keep in mind that the deals have not been transacted yet, and once they close, they will be reported to DNJournal and NameBio.

ADA.com Sale SedoEarlier today, Sedo reported the sale of ADA.com for $200,000. The sale was reported on Sedo’s market activity page, and it was brought to my attention today by Jag Singh. I reached out to Sedo’s Dave Evanson, and he confirmed that the domain name sold, although he was not the broker.

It looks like the buyers of ADA.com were quick to act, as the website is already operational. Here’s an excerpt from the ADA.com about us page:

“Meet ada, a virtual health companion available on the go. Designed by a dedicated team of doctors and computer scientists, ada gives you the best symptom assessment available. Building up a detailed picture of your health over time, ada provides you with an accurate understanding of what is going on and helps you decide on next steps to take.”

Sedo Now Blocking Tragedy-Related Keywords

One of the things that gives a bad name to people who invest in domain names are those who buy tragedy or terrorism related domain names with the goal of profitably reselling them. Even though it’s a very small minority of people who register these types of domain names in the wake of a major incident (and likely not even people active in the business of domain investing) it’s an easy story for the mainstream press to jump on shortly after other stories run cold.

Yesterday afternoon, Theo from DomainGang.com issued a call to action to the major domain name marketplaces regarding the sale of certain tragedy/terrorism-related domain names:

“Domain marketplaces such as Sedo, GoDaddy, Flippa, Afternic, Domain Name Sales and others take notice: “Omar Mateen” domains should not be allowed to be listed for sale on your venues.”

It looks like Sedo was the first to respond affirmatively to this suggestion:

Sedo shared its monthly Great Domains auction results, and three letter .com domain names took 3 of the top 4 spots. A .net domain name was the second largest auction.

CUN.com sold for 113611 EUR, which is a little bit less than $130,000 USD. This sale could rank in the top 20 sales of 2016, depending on what else is reported this week. Investment.net sold for 49999 EUR, which is around $56,000 USD. This will rank in the top 5 non .com domain sales of the year. VRK.com and ZUJ.com both were reportedly sold for 21000 GBP, or approximately $30,000 USD.

Listed below are all of the sales from this month’s Great Domains auction. I am not sure if all of these deals have closed yet, so keep that in mind when you note these sales. Sedo generally reports its sales to DNJournal and NameBio, so they will become “official” once that happens.

Video: Sedo’s SXSW Recap

If you follow domain industry companies on social media, it’s very likely you saw or heard about Sedo’s presence at this year’s South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas. The domain name marketplace partnered up with quite a few domain registries and domain industry companies to promote domain name ownership and domain name sales at Sedo’s Domain Name Village.

From my outsider’s view, it seemed that the new gTLD domain names played the biggest major role in this promotion. There were food and drink giveaways that promoted various new extensions, and there were other events (such as free tattoos and concerts) to promote other extensions.

It looks like Sedo partnered with Donuts, Rightside, Radix, Uniregistry, .Club, the .ME Registry, and possibly some other registries to promote domain names sold via its marketplace. Interestingly, it doesn’t look like .com was promoted, aside from Sedo.com branding.

Sedo just shared a video recap of its presence at SXSW, and you can see it was quite a spectacle:
