AI.com ahead of the $70 million sale – DNW Podcast #575

Learn regarding the last time AI.com sold.

By now, you’ve surely heard regarding the record-shattering $70 million sale of ai.com.

Following the sale was disclosed, there were many erroneous news notes claiming that the seller had purchased the domain decades ago for $100. This isn’t true, and anyone who pays attention to the domain business knows this. Regarding five years ago, Saw.com brokered the sale of the domain, and this was widely noted in the press.

On today’s show, Saw.com founder Jeff Gabriel provides details on the previous sale of the valuable domain name and how the artificial intelligence market has changed since then. Also, I dig into the numbers a bit: the domain was bought and sold with cryptocurrency, so the seller’s return wasn’t quite what it seems. (But still, nothing to sneeze at!)

Jeff also shares data regarding which countries and states are the most likely to convert to sales when you receive leads. This is valuable information!
