So today I was doing some domain name research and I decided to pull some data on the prices people have been paying for SEO related domains.
My research is based around looking at primarily “SEO” +.TLD as this is the most lucrative SEO based domain to purchase. The prices ranged from $650 to 5 million.
Below is a break down of the sales data for the top 10 domains, this is the key information I could locate in the public domain. Their may have been other sales listed by they are not in the public domain.
