Domain investor James Booth has been churning out humongous sales of .AI domains at any given opportunity, with Cloud.ai commanding $600,000 dollars, as shared by James himself today.
The “buy low—sell high” mantra is effectively broken; James seems to “buy whatever—sell SUPER high” regardless, all thanks to a secret recipe: keyword quality.
There is a limited group of keywords that sell across any TLD—and we mean ANY TLD, including ccTLDs and gTLDs. Cloud is one of them, along with Sex, Business, Crypto, Data, and Smart among them.
Other groups of keywords that form interests, such as names of ancient Greek or Roman gods, planets, and of course cities, can become lucrative triggers of domain sales in many, if not most, TLDs.
The fun part about the domain name Cloud.ai isn’t the amount it got sold for but rather, the amount it was acquired for originally. This helps leverage the growth of the particular generic ccTLD and its associated keyword.
While we’d assume that James paid a decent price to acquire Cloud.ai, the former registrant owned Cloud.ai since 2011, along with many more .ai domains and at a time when Artificial Intelligence was a mere reference to futuristic science fiction in the minds of many.
Hopefully in the coming days we’ll find out who bought Cloud.ai for $600,000 dollars from James Booth!
