Blimey

now that's a top price.... £1.2m pounds (sorry I got muddled up on the thread title...!)

On the flip side, it is finance and it is a great site. Check out the in-depth site behind the homepage.

a STJ name I believe, so has changed hands. Figure reported on digg... any other sources ?

If public and confirmed then first £1mil .uk which is nice.

Congrats to buyer and seller, a fair price for a great name!

I can't find a source of the sale price either... sure would be a great milestone if it's true.

If the sale price is accurate (~£1.2m) I wonder how much of it was based on traffic revenue and how much on the "vanity value" of the domain name. Any ideas what level of traffic it gets?

domain or WEBSITE?

Be interested to know if the site made a big difference in the sale price.

That must have been domain price - it showed a different site about 2 days ago with just a few articles and some errant Ov tags...

So one presumes that the domain name generated very little income. I wonder what the price would have been if the domain name had been as good as this one (money.co.uk has to be one of the top ten vanity ones I can contemplate) and generated a substantial annual PPC revenue of, hypothetically, £250,000? This sort of figure is easily is obtainable in the UK PPC finance sector.
