Behind The Keyword – Spotlight on “Media”

by 7 Comments

Welcome to Behind The Keyword, I will be taking a look at the most popular keywords that sell, get listed and get developed. Whether it be on big marketplaces like Sedo and Afternic or specialty sites like BrandBucket.

Media

Today we are looking at the keyword – Media

Some Media related statistics:

  • 7,740,000,000  results for the keyword in Google using “Media”
  • “Media” is the 8th most popular topic on the internet by domain count.(LeanDomainSearch)

Sales

The top keyword sale for Media is eMedia.com at $60,000. This name was acquired on Snapnames back in 2011. Developed today, Pioneers in Business-to-Business Lead Generation since 1999, emedia executes guaranteed CPL (Cost-per-Lead) and traffic generation campaigns for marketers across the B2B spectrum.

The number two sale is AdMedia.com at $50,000. Purchased from Sedo back in 2009. The domain is a developed website.

Number three on the list is InternetMedia.com at $20,000. The domain was purchased on Afternic back in 2007.

Now I have covered a few keywords so far in this series, the first articles were written on Namepros and you can find info on the following:

Tech

Cube

Labs

Cloud

Shop

Media which has always been one of my favorite keywords, I especially like LLmedia.com names, I have found when a company knows they cannot get the LL.com due to price or usage, they don’t mind adding media to their name and seek out the LLmedia.com for far less than what the LL.com would cost. I actually think this works for LLapp.com as well if the company is involved in applications.

I sold OYmedia.com for $2,178 on Sedo in January. The domain was picked up on Go Daddy closeouts for $5 back in 2014. I couldn’t believe it made through to the closeout section, I actually had picked up ZKmedia.com two days before on Go Daddy closeouts for $5. ZKmedia.com I put on NameJet in 2015 and it sold for $129.
