It's the most money sold for a .org domain name.  Poker.org sold for $1 million this week.

According to TechCrunch.com:

Sedo, a domain marketplace, has brokered the largest sale of a .org domain to date. Brokered on behalf of A-1 National Advertising, the domain poker.org was sold to PokerCompany.com for the sum of $1 million. Prior to the sale of poker.org, the highest .org sale was $198,000 for engineering.org, followed by sexe.org which sold for $151,400. The sale price for poker.org is smaller than those of some of the largest .com sales, which rang in at $5.1 million for Toys.com, and $3 Million for the candy.com sale.

PokerCompany.com is one of the leading groups for online gaming marketing, so called super affiliates, who work with most of the major poker rooms, casinos, skill game and betting companies on the internet to help them acquire customers.

There was a time when domain names sold for big bucks, but we haven't seen much of that in recent years.

Sex.com was the largest .com sale at $14M. Fund.com was notable in that it sold for $10 million.

Currently there are over 7 million .org names.  The .org extension has risen 11 percent over the past year compared to the previous period.
