A Spanish Ad.com sells 1.4 Million Dollars

It is one of the great domain name sales for the year at international level and has already been published, the sale was made in Monikers Traffic Conference in Silicon Valley. The conference sold domains for $ 2 million, 1.4 of which were for Ad.com

What many people may not know is that this sale has been made Spanish, Marcos Guillen. And the buyer, although in this case is secondary, Divyank Turakhia CEO of Skenzo a domain parking company.

Mark is an entrepreneur of the ICT sector since prehistoric times. ISP founder of Internet Ran , I remember I met him (possibly not reading this will remember and refresh the memory) back in 1997, I had veitipocos years and had several websites, one with a lot of traffic then a discharge of freeware programs that is still online.

Life by chance hired a hosting service in Ran Internet . They were just a few months, but remember that the server traffic burst, and let me offline domain. I called and told them everything and reluctantly put it ... so again and again as the dog and cat. They were only a few months and a very early point around 1997 or 1998. I remember that Mark did not bring the phone and I get tired, I caught a taxi and gave me to literally "take it for ass" in their offices in a building in the Columbus area in Madrid.

I still remember the face of total flipe the first time that neither wide nor pancho after hanging up the phone and discuss with him, I stood there and knocked on the door and sat next to the PC in the non-stop drumming. At that time, and fully functioning web-based recruitment and management, and I did not expect that if I picked up the phone I planted them there to literally chase them grilled.

Ah! That time .

I think that Mark soon realized that I could arrive, despite my age, you become the heavies heavies heavies customers. In fact at that time did not have many more resources than these, to the boring. Ue ELQ now fights with these things and gives the coñazo is many years ago Riutort Jaume.

The situation obviously hard bit, I find another ISP very quickly and, at last had rest from me, at least a few years until we meet again in the Domain Forum Congress.

In those early years with some partners Mark had made some good domains (profesionales.com, aparejador.com, fontanero.com etc) and a jewel Ad.com.

There is little or no command of two letters in the market, but are much more difficult to see that a ticket 500 Euros, but domain names above 2 letters mean something generic like Ad (ad in English) and science fiction are .

I think Mark will be a few days in Madrid and have been in talking on various topics, I have wanted to congratulate him personally. This is possibly the most expensive domain name has sold a Spanish. If there is any other Carlos Blanco , that this has a photographic memory so maybe I can remember.

Congratulations Mark.
