Marchex releases a sales data treasure trove.
With Marchex’ announcement today that it is spinning off its domain business into Archeo, the company released a treasure trove of data about its domain operations.
The biggie: a list of its top 500 domain sales of all time.
Many of this (most?) have never been reported. Which means Ron Jackson might be very busy, should he decide to go back and figure out when these domains were sold so he can add them to the charts.
Here’s the complete list.

chromium.org – Google
Someone with automated tools might want to check them all….
Oversee.net bought CreditCards.org
JP Morgan Chase bought UltimateRewards.com
Chevron bought HumanEnergy.com
GE bought UniversalSports.com
About.com bought CalorieCounter.com
Hmmm … wonder how they “overcame” their NDA commitments (assuming such exist) on revealing the buyers … and the prices they paid.
Per chance these are only their top 500 … that are not subject to NDAs?
@ Steve M – I wondered the same thing. Perhaps the NDA’s had expired. Or something else… 🙂
Very good sales, proud of them for getting top dollar, well done, Not sure what their return on Yun Ye portfolio is to date though. I am sure they are holding some great gems. To bad all that money got eaten up at the management level.
@ Ron – they bought the Yun Ye portfolio at a single digit multiple, but the way parking tanked I suspect the parking revenue came in short of expectations.
Chromium is open-source for Chrome. (maybe I’m the only person to not know that.)
CalorieCounter.com owned by Name Administration
Goes to show that end users will pay, even the big one’s. Makes you wonder if the weekly end user sales report should have made some sellers cry.
Why are the big sales not listed, like Vodka.com for 3 mil or business .com for over 1.8 mil
It does say bigest sales of all time
@ Al – it’s the top sales of all time sold by Marchex
