so, the ASK.com SE+domain value should be around $3 billion (unfortunately, it is a, pre- or after- economy crisis, selling price…)

Recall reading a few years back that each 1% of the US search market is worth 1 billion USD.

Given this; can’t imagine Barry’d sell just the domain and keep the SE…

It would be monumentally stupid if they ever sell just the domain Ask.com. It’s worth less than 1% of the entire entity.

Does anyone know what market share Ask.com gets now for search? It used to be in the high single digits when I followed it a couple of years ago.

My guess is it’s still worth around $1B these days.

“Ask.com For Sale?”

if true (with or without its SE) the domain should surely set the new DomainsPriceWorldRecord.com …

how much you think will be its selling price?

my guess is $30 million

If you go to the Ask.com “brands” page, you see Dictionary.com listed. That’s actually a bit more of a distinctive service than Ask.com is for search. Compete.com reports between 1 and 3 million unique visitors per month for Dictionary so pretty considerable value attached.

Who would buy it?

What price would IAC hope to achieve?

Those are the two questions in my mind.

Bing / MS are most likely going to be interested in it to continue there growth but Im not sure . . .

any other thoughts?
