Sedo Growth

Sedo Reports .UK Sales Growth of 57% - Sedo.co.uk

Interesting article, however the figures don't add up exactly:

£2,154,176 of sales in 1,305 .uk sales = £1,650 average per name.

They report the average as £1,661 - so it's not that far off!

However, once you remove the top 10 names, to avoid a slight skew...

(£2,154,176 - £221,777) / 1,295 .uk names:

£1,492.20 per name.

Still not too shabby though!

"Sedo has announced more than 1,305 .uk domain sales in 2008..."

Must have been 1,306 names sold then!

Must have been 1,306 names sold then!

An increase in the number of names would decrease the average value.

An average of £1,661 per name puts it at 1297 names sold...

I was actually pointing out the way they reported their sales with a perculiar rounding figure!

Hi Guys,

Juat a note on the 'top 10' - remember that those are the top 10 PUBLISHED deals. We do have a lot of deals that we don't publish in accordance with clients' wishes, and there are some that would have made it in there

An interesting report, though this didn't sound right (far, far too low):-

Online advertising, one of the only marketing mediums expected to grow this year, is predicted to reach $59 million, a 10% growth according to a Group M study

This may not be their latest data, but according to the pre-downturn Guardian article ( UK web ad spend to exceed TV in 2009 ), Group M are actually predicting

Group M predicts that UK internet revenue is likely to climb by 30.8% this year, to £3.4bn, compared with just 1% year-on-year growth in TV ad spend to around £3.56bn.

Their later data, in a press release issued in December 2008, states their predicted Internet ad revenue for the UK as hitting £3.35bn. See https://publications.groupm.com/images/TYNY UK Winter 2008 press release.pdf

I hate that "About 1305" crap google do that too, XXX Returned About 5,526 thats a pretty damned exact number.

Around 1300 = Yay
More than 1305 = Nay!

The total price of the top 30 (including non-published deals, so of course I can't give details of individual domains) was 860,669 GBP.
