In the small world of Internet , the porno is a sure bet. If a priori ideas that we may seem as lucrative as YouTube , which is among the first pages viewed globally, is known to have problems with profitability, much less known many pages with adult content usually return larger amounts of money and start being profitable in shorter periods of time.

Is quite understandable why the fuss that has been mounted around the auction listing sex.com by its present owners. The domain has a history the less curious, the first to register was Gary Kremmer, also known for being the creator of Match.com , and while promising huge profits and guaranteed return, the truth and the truth is that since then has been the subject of fighting and business disagreements that have led him to this day, still not to serve for a fixed purpose. There have even come to write books about the subject.

The company Escom acquired it in 2006 for $ 14 million, but the play did not go very well because it had never got to pay so much and now have decided to bring it to auction. If you decide to become the bearer to redeem the domain of abandonment, know that to participate you need a certified check crediting a million dollars to start bidding.

Currently receives 120,000 page views just for people who come to it by typing ’sex.com’ in their browsers, so no matter how bad the business that its future owners decide to profit, at least already have these views insured.

The auction begins within a month and already there are several interested buyers, the two questions I have in mind is if they will get more from selling it for $ 14 million they paid originally and whether their new managers will get transformed into good and profitable business, or conversely will remain the ugly duckling of the Internet another few years until the next auction.
