電通が２月２３日発表した平成２０年の日本の広告費調査によると、景気の急速な悪化で総広告費は前年比４・７％減の６兆６９２６億円と５年ぶりにマイナスに転じるなか、インターネット広告が同１６・３％増と躍進して、平成８年に統計に登場して以来初めて、構成比が１０％を超えた。ネットが今年、新聞を抜き、テレビに次ぐ“第２の広告媒体”に躍り出る可能性が高まった。

Millions of dollars in domains sold at auction.

The biggest domain name auction of the year took place yesterday, but you probably haven’t heard about it. And Oversee.net, parent company of Moniker , was a bidder, not a seller.

Yesterday at 10 am substantial assets from The Parent Company were scheduled to be auctioned off at the law offices of Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP. The Parent Company owns a number of online retailers including eToys. Among the domain names owned by The Parent Company are Toys.com, eToys.com, Toys.org, Birthdays.com, Birthday.net, eBirthdays.com, eKids.com, Hobbies.com, iToys.com, Pinata.com, and ePregnancy.com.

A number of companies submitted qualified starting bids prior to the auction, ranging from $10,000 to $500,000. The final sale amount of the domains was in the millions. Top sales include:

ePregnancy.com, Baby Universe and Dreamtime Baby, eToys.com and related eToys names for $2.15 M
Birthdays.com, Pinata.com, eParties.com $200,000 sold to Done Ventures
Toys.com $1.25M sold to Faculty Lounge
