When we see big prices on GoDaddy auctions where the name seems to not hold much value, it’s a backlinks play. So I saw X8Bet.com close today for $67,666. I immediately went to Ahrefs.com to see how many backlinks the domain had and it turned out to be 3. A Domain Rating of 0.
A Google search revealed that if we switch the X and the 8 to 8Xbet.com and we have an international sportsbook based in Asia. They are an official betting partner for Premier League defending champions Manchester City.
The number seems high for this domain name and it will be interesting to see if it gets paid, or rolled back.
Roll back, I bet
Ray, if you and the other bloggers knew about this and deliberately didn’t publicize it so that people would even know about a deadline to make comments, then you and every one of you are dirt bags:

Not surprisingly, for those who know anything about what’s going on in this country, I never saw even a single mention of it anywhere in the industry, and I check industry news virtually every day, and the blogs still frequently too.
I do hope it was not deliberate, since it’s .us, and that you and the other bloggers are not just a bunch of deplorable dirt bags that way.
I never saw anything about it, I own one .us domain name. I have not seen an article on .us in awhile, anywhere.
Ok, thanks.
