Slots.com Purchased By BodogBrand For $5.85 Million

June 1, 2010 · 1 Comment  

Slots.com has entered the top ten domain sales of all time when it sold for $5.85 Million to BodogBrands last month and officially announced today. The buyer Calvin Arye had the following to say about the purchase: “The internet really has changed how we do business – I sat on a bar stool in London’s L’Atelier restaurant bidding millions for one of the biggest gaming domains in the world!”

He added: “After Casino.com, we feel that Slots.com is the best gaming domain in the world. Bigger even than Poker.com because there are no strong brands in this space and slots are far more universal than poker. Just look at the amount of space a casino devotes to slots over poker, added to which it’s simple to spell and easy to remember. Slots.com will work for us on a number of levels, not least in generating global traffic to our Bodog branded properties but also to form a number of other targeted websites including one that will be created by and for the female gambler.”

Google released a list of the top 1,000 most visited sites on the internet based on unique visitors, as measured by Ad Planner. The list will be updated monthly as new Ad Planner datasets are released.

Interesting to note that Google.com is not listed at all – they state the following: “Keep in mind that the list excludes adult sites, ad networks, domains that don’t have publicly visible content or don’t load properly, and certain Google sites.”

Google Search Over SSL

May 27, 2010 · 1 Comment  

Last Friday Google announced searching over SSL at https://www.google.com. This new feature which is good for users in regards to privacy, but not so much for website owners. The reason being is that no referrer (search term) is passed when coming from a link on https as a security measure – meaning that as a website owner you see nothing in your analytics.

Getclicky is calling it the death of search analytics which seems to be true if it was the standard for all Google search users.
