In 2008, top selling domains yielded $77 million in revenue - an 8% sales increase over  the $72 million total from 2007.   Sedo's list of highest selling domains in 2008 includes Kredit.de for $1,176,672, Invest.com for $1,015,000, Printer.com for $650,000, Villas.com for $478,149, Tell.com for $400,000, Lowfare.com for $365,000, Banners.com for $360,000, 770.com for $350,000, SC.com for $300,000 and Triplecreditreport.com for $260,000.   The study showed that .com remained the most wanted extension, drawing in 76 percent of all sales. In second place was .net at 9%, and .info secured third place with 7% of sales. These results remained consistent with the generic top-level domain shares in 2007. Overall, every worldwide TLD except .biz saw an increase in the number of domains sold in 2008.   ![Pete Prestipino](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Pete%20Prestipino.jpeg) [Pete Prestipino](https://www.websitemagazine.com/domains/author/pete-prestipino) Digital marketing executive with proven experience in all aspects of search engine optimization (SEO), performance-based advertising, consumer-generated/social media, email marketing, lead generation, Web design, usability, and analytics. - 20-year Internet marketing veteran, currently serving as the Digital Marketing Campaign Manager at Antenna Group (formerly Chicago Digital). - Former Editor-In-Chief of Website Magazine, and a regular speaker on Web technology digital marketing strategy - Author of several books on digital marketing Including Web 360: The Fundamentals of Web Success; Affiliate 360: The Fundamentals of Performance Marketing; Domains 360: The Fundamentals of Buying & Selling Domain Names, and SEO 360: The Fundamentals of Search Engine Optimization. - - - [mailto:peter@websitemagazine.com](mailto:peter@websitemagazine.com) #### Popular Post ### [Forwarding Domains to Affiliate Sites ![Forwarding Domains to Affiliate Sites](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/gradient-regular-logo-mark-Jan-22-2023-11-42-04-7156-PM-Apr-10-2023-01-02-48-2468-PM-Apr-25-2023-03-00-20-8992-AM-May-01-2023-08-18-31-0301-PM.png)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/domains/forwarding-domains-to-affiliate-sites) ### [O.CO Goes to Overstock.com for 350K ![O.CO Goes to Overstock.com for 350K](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/oco-mini-3-1-1-1.gif)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/domains/o-co-goes-to-overstock-com-for-350k) ### [Rethinking Domain Name Valuation ![Rethinking Domain Name Valuation](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/godaddy-mini-3-1-1-1.jpg)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/domains/rethinking-domain-name-valuation) #### Subscribe to Our Newsletter!
