Would you care to explain how your Alexa ranking is so low while you say you have 10,000 customers?

I'm interested but it seems like this isn't a serious offer.

I would first like to thank you for your post and an opportunity to explain the situation.

For those of you who are not familiar with what Apoc is referrring to, Alexa is an Amazon.com company that provides a free toolbar for users to download that resides on their browser. This toolbar monitors where the user visits and reprts it back to the site www.alexa.com. The thinking is that the number of visitors with the Alexa toolbar installed is representitive of the entire Internet population therefore each website is given a rank of between 1 and several million. Having an Alexa rank of 1 would mean you are the number one most visited website on the internet.


Dnbuy.com is the main site users have been using for over 3 years now. Although DNbuy.com was great for those who had a small number of names, the problem was that once we got really big, we had more and more customers asking to view multiple domain names through one central log-in ID. Our answer to this request was to launch Dnbuy.net. This allowed customer who had hundreds of domain names to create one account with one log-in ID at Dnbuy.net. We then moved all of their domains into their account at Dnbuy.net. We also informed our customers that they could consolidate all of their domains under one account by following the same procedure.

The net result of this is that more and more of customers moved from Dnbuy.com to Dnbuy.net. This has resulted in a dropping of our Alexa ranking at Dnbuy.com from under 100K to where it is now 135K. You will notice however that the ranking of DNbuy.net is a resepectable 235K. Dnbuy.net currently makes up half of our sales volume and has over 13,000 domains under management whereas Dnbuy.com has only 8, 000 domains under management. Once these two sites are merged under the new DRAMs system I expect you will see a considerable jump in this ranking to approximately 50-70K.

I hope this answers your question. If you need anything else please do not hesitate to ask in this thread, at the auction or contact me directly.

The auction for this closed without the reserve being met. We are actually over 30 000 domain names under management at this point. We are currently in discussion with several ICANN accredited registrars who are interested in aquiring these assets.

Thank you.

We're interested in having a conversation with you regarding the sale of your domain business. We're also a significant reseller for eNom so that should help the transaction go smoothly.
