Sedo recently brokered the largest .org sale to date for A-1 National Advertising. Poker.org was sold to PokerCompany.com for $1 million. Prior to this, the highest sale of a .org was $198,000 for engineering.org, followed by sexe.org for $151,400.<\/p>\n

The buyers of the domain, PokerCompany.com, are an affiliate marketing company who help acquire customers for many major poker rooms, casinos, skill game and betting companies on the internet. They also operate a number of other websites including: EveryPoker.com, InsideBet.com, Craps.net, Blackjack.org, Rakeback.org and Loyalty.net.<\/p>\n


\n
It is not known what PokerCompany.com plan to do with their recent
acquisition,
\nbut a spokesperson from PokerCompany.com said, “Poker.org is an
\nintegral part of our growth strategy, and will provide great dividends
\nnow and into the future.”<\/p>\n

Although Poker.org is the largest .org sale to date, it is not as
impressive
\nas the largest .com sales, which include Sex.com, which sold for a
\nwhopping $14 million, $10 million for Fund.com, $5.1 million for
\nToys.com, and $3 million for Candy.com.<\/p>\n

There has been a
\nsubstantial increase in .org registrations in recent years. The first
\nhalf of 2009 saw an increase of 11%, compared with the same period the
\nyear before. The .org is now the third largest TLD<\/a>, after .net and of
\ncourse .com, the most popular.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
