			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify"><img src="http://blog.legitiname.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/broking.thumbnail.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="76" align="left" />According to Clek Media Inc., the domain name fund.com has been buyed by Fund.com Inc., an online financial information publisher formely named Meade Technologies Inc. This all-cash transaction was valued at $9,999,950.  Previous sale record was business.com, sold for $7.5 million.</p>
<p><span id="more-496"></span></p>
<p align="justify">The recent years reflect domain names as a more valuable market for businesses and financial investors. Creditcards.com and creditcheck.com were sold respectively for $2,750,000 in 2004 and $3,000,000 in 2007. Domains related to alcohol industry also appear to be a buoyant market with significant sales, such as beer.com ($7 mln in 2007), vodka.com ($3 mln in 2006) and wine.com ($2,9 mln in 1999).</p>
<p align="justify"><a href="http://blog.legitiname.com/2006/08/18/premium-domain-name-vers-des-noms-de-domaine-a-la-carte/">Premium names</a> (domains highly valued due to their resale and web traffic potential) are particularly driving speculation on this emerging industry. Domain broking may be a new slot in the brokerage services&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify"><img src="http://blog.legitiname.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/awards-thumb.jpg" alt="awards" align="left" border="0" height="84" width="94" />As the Webby Awards honor websites, interactive advertising, online video and mobile, the Domainer’s Choice Awards reward domain services, industry actors and much more. Domainer&#8217;s Choice Awards occurred within the DOMAINfest GLOBAL&#8217;s 08 conference, which took place January 21-23 at the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood, California. That event aims at improving domain industry cooperation and collective thinking.</p>
<p><span id="more-467"></span></p>
<p align="justify"> A lot of domain areas have been covered during this conference, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>basics of portfolio management (renewal, drop, etc.) for industry newcomers,</li>
<li>domain traffic analysis (origin, nature, trends) for better decision making (keep, drop, sell),</li>
<li> negotiation (how to create a win win situation),</li>
<li>legal issues (trademark infringement, reverse domain hijacking which describes false cybersquatting accusations in order to recover a domain name),</li>
<li>financial matters: tax issues, business plan,</li>
<li>industry trends: upcoming TLDs (.tel, .post, etc.), domain branding, advertising services and domain trading.</li>
</ul>
<p align="justify">According to Verisign&#8217;s last industry report, there are over 146 millions domain names registered throughout the world. This represents a six percent growth over the third quarter 2007. The growth of this industry is expected to be higher in the next months.</p>
