The ten most expensive domain names ever sold

This week, domain name broker Sedo sold the highly-desirable domain name pizza.com for the cool sum of $2.6 million. And while that's an impressive amount of money to pay for something that doesn't actually exist, it still doesn't quite crack the top ten list of most expensive domain names ever sold.

Here's the list as it stands today. Naturally, this list only reflects domains that have actually been resold. Domains like yahoo.com which are still in use by the original owner don't count, and they may indeed be far more valuable if they were ever to hit the market.

Well, yes its pretty frustrating, I have my own share of experiences. In this case I would only advice you all to move on and think of other good domain names which can bring you lots of money.

In order to get some inspiration you can always go to Google Trends , and check what all are the top level phrases, keywords been searched by whole world.

Now you bought the domain which you think is valuable, now what to do with that? Well here are some tips:

1. Put your domain on auction in big domain selling/buying platforms like sedo, sitepoint, namepros.

2. You can always park your domains while waiting for them to be sold, and get some money if people came and hit some of the advertisement displayed on you parked domain.

3. And of course you can build a website/blog on those domains, which is always a plus point while selling the domains, and if you are hard working enough to put some unique good content on your website, you might as well end up earning good money from it

Well make you choice and best of luck for you domain business glory :-)
