DomainAdvisors have put up an exclusive listing of premium domain name Pay.com. Anyone interested in getting the domain name will most likely have to pay a 7 figure amount – excuse the pun.
“Domain names like Pay.com have a strong and memorable branding association and offer significant advantages to online businesses in terms of pay-per-click (PPC) keyword advertising and search engine optimization (SEO),” said Tessa Holcomb, CEO of DomainAdvisors. “It’s not often that a domain name of this caliber becomes available for sale, and we are excited about the opportunity. There are only a few names representing the small segment of the domain market commanding a multi seven-figure price tag and Pay.com is definitely one of them.”
It’s a good time to sell too, as the Yankee Group predicts there will be over $985 billion dollars in worldwide mobile micro payments by 2015 while currently 1/3 of all internet users are utilizing a micro payment service. The press release announcing the sale listing was probably put up to coincide with Google’s launch of Google Wallet and the massive Google Offers too.
What is the price for that domain anyway ? at least can it be count in dollars ? that’s the question .
in my opinion, the value of Pay.com is over $30M
I would think that PayPal/eBay would want to buy this, if only to keep someone else from having the “shorter” version of the PayPal name. Besides, they should be able to afford it.
