ebola.com - Sold - $200k

I'm just baffled at the fact that it sold for so much money. Insanity.

Which means that you're not into domaining. There is a lot of money in SEO, but more in domaining. People are paying insane amounts to resell or to develop sites.
 
Nice job he did there!

Domain names are as valuable as Land is in the offline world - heck, it's pretty much the same thing. We have all heard about the sale of sex.com etc so domaining is becoming more and more mainstream.

I think it's all about being in the right place at the right time and being willing to sit on a domain purchase for decades if needed.
 
Pretty dumb to invest $200K into informal term, that is not going to rank.
See malaria.com or any other disease for reference.
 
Stoners have some weird ideas when they are spangled, but blowing $200K on that domain is right up there with the daftest of them.
 
It wasn't $200k cash, was $50k cash + "$150k" in stock in a weed company. Pretty good deal for the buyers at $50k down, the stock likely has little/no liquid resale value. I would imagine ebola will die down as a trend within a year, but for now their could be cash to be made.
 
ebola is an elaborate con, built up to distract americans from real world issues and pressing political issues -- and it's worked.
No one remembers anything except their daily dose of distractive trash and gossip (and OMG EBOLA! scare) from their trusted news media outlets
 
Looks like the site is still for sa le guys. Look in the footer and it says it's still for sa le.
Maybe they are just planning on dressing it up a bit and flipping it.

I doubt that. The email is the same that was placed in the footer of the previous site.
Probably just a mistake when changing the theme or w/e.
Don't see why the old owner would be contacted if he just sold it for 200k.

That's right - all those people dying from the disease are actors and every media organisation in the world is just reporting it to con Americans.
 
This is not their first attempt -

"Ebola is not the only disease-related site owned by Blue String Ventures. The company also owns the domain names, but Hood points out that the company does not only focus on domains which refer to disease and tragedy."


Illuminati inside knowledge detected. I bet they own "JFK" and "Watergate" too... If only domains existed back then.

Utter BS. Ebola is killing a vast amount of people every day. I can't wait until the conspiracy theorists chirp in and state it's a ploy by the pharmaceutical companies.
 
The conspiracy theorists are already out. Their voices are just not loud enough.
