Gamesforgirls.com is taking top honors as the top-selling domain name in 2011 so far to date, nearly doubling the price of the next highest ranking sale – Action.com – which sold for $270,000 in early February.
While the owner of the domain name gamesforgirls.com is guarded behind Private Whois after Sedo completed the transfer this week, a reader who goes by the name “Anthony James” tipped me off earlier today about who the buyer might be.
I eliminated Bill Kara of Hallpass Media as the buyer, after speaking to Bill last week over email.
It’s rumored that the mystery buyer who paid $500,000 for the casual games domain is Gamegos, a Turkish game producer with more than 30 million monthly active users across its network of websites.
I contacted Gamegos to ask for more information, but haven’t received a response. So it remains speculation at this point.
According to the Casual Games industry news site, casualnews.com, Gamegos owns casual gaming portals like oyunlar1.com, games2girls.com and didigames.com. Games2girls.com, based on a rough traffic estimate provided by Compete, receives well over a half a million unique visitors per month. Same with didigames.com and other sites belonging to Gamegos.
It’s only a rumor for now, but Gamegos seems to be one of the best candidates.
Updated: A spokesman for Gamegos using the email address ‘info -at- games2girls.com, wrote me early this morning and confirmed the company purchased the domain. There was no personal info provided in the email, but Gamegos appears to be a fairly private company, so you can judge the email for yourself below.
