Interesting poker domain names beating out Poker.org

On October 1, I wrote about the “soft launch” of Poker.org, the $1 million .org domain name that was sold by National A-1 to PokerCompany.com in February 2010.

Though news of the sale was widely covered, the news of the “soft launch” has gone largely unreported, despite the fact Poker.org is 2010’s biggest .org sale and the #5 publicly reported sale of a domain name this year.

Now that the web site is developed, its positioning in Google search is another story.

Today, Poker.com is first in the results, but it’s not the only domain with the keyword “poker” in the web address that appears ahead of Poker.org.  Although it’s early, here are some interesting, (some obscure) poker domains which are displayed in Google search results before the million dollar .org domain.
