BuyDomains Referral Program Case Study – A6.com sells for $34,000

BuyDomains’ new Referral Program is proving to be of benefit for domain buyers, sellers and Referral Program participants.

A6.com recently sold through the program for $34,000

A few details on the A6.com sale:

• A6.com was listed for sales on AfternicDLS using the company’s “Expanded Promotion” sales level which insured the domain would be promoted on Afternic, BuyDomains, the global DLS network of resellers and the BuyDomains Referral program
• A6.com was purchased through the BuyDomains Referral Program by a referrer in Ireland, and to a buyer in Hong Kong – an example of the global demand for business focused domain names
• The A6.com referring member was Y3.com who received a 5% commission, or US $1,700 for their referral

As a result of the BuyDomains Referral Program, the domain seller, buyer and referring member all benefited.

Desmond Ho of Y3.com stated,

“We would like to thank BuyDomains.com’s Referral Program which has created several opportunities to begin our mutual relationship into working together towards success.

We run many projects, www.Y3.com being one of them – an Entertainment/Gaming related website focusing on providing free Online Games to tens of millions of users every week.   Check out our BuyDomains Referral Program widget on http://www.Y3.com/webmasters.php

We are having great success with the Referral Program as we recently assisted a client with the purchase of A6.com, a $34,000 domain.
