allbusiness.com sold for $55 millioins

I just read about allbusiness.com sold for $55 millions. What a sale? I think it also include the business.

 

auuuh, what's your source? And if it includes the business, then it's not the domain that sold for that much

 

No way

Computer.com only sold for $2.2m, so there must be a lot more than just the domain...

 

Source is

wow thats some serious money for a domain name...

 

Absoultely it'd be with the business, no way would that domain be worth 55 mil

 

I think it will be a full fledget website with huge revenues in order to support that sale figure.

 

It's not for the domain name!

It's for the business, they just happen to own that domain name.

 

Thats a lot of greens for just a name. I wonder what they will develop under that name...

 

This has been posted in the wrong section...since it wasnt a domain name sale.

The purchase was mainly for the sites content, and the fact they can integrate it easily into their business model and increase revenue.

 

Haven't you been reading this thread. It was for the domain & the developed website business as well

 

for all you that think it sold just for the domain you are mistaken.
I have personally used this site for reference in my retail management course.

It is indeed a information source for business. When i saw this I was a little shocked but considering the vast amount of data and knowledge on the site i'm not surprised.

 

Yes the business was included with the domain.

 

I just want my domains to sell for $100. LOL I wish I would have gotten into domaining earlier! I might have been able to snag one.

 

most expensive domain

 

omg .... i think its a scam ...
business.com was sold for a lower price but anyways ... on the internet anything is possible

 

More than a domain name:

NEW YORK (Associated Press) - Dun & Bradstreet Corp., a business information company, said Tuesday it has bought AllBusiness.com for $55 million and subsequently raised its 2008 revenue outlook to account for the acquisition.

Dun & Bradstreet bought the online media and e-commerce company in an effort to expand its Internet business. The purchase will have no effect on the company's 2007 financial guidance, but AllBusiness is expected to generate about $10 million of incremental revenue in 2008. Dun & Bradstreet expects the acquisition to add to earnings in 2009.

Dun & Bradstreet raised its guidance for core revenue growth in 2008 to between 8 percent and 10 percent, before the effect of foreign exchange, from previous guidance of 7 percent to 9 percent growth.

The company also reaffirmed earnings-per-share growth, before noncore gains and charges, of 11 percent to 14 percent in 2008.

Shares rose 15 cents to close at $90.03, and continued to gain in aftermarket trading, jumping $2.37, or 2.6 percent, to $92.40.
