MARCHEX SELLS RECORD $3.3 MILLION IN DOMAINS

August 2, 2012

Marchex just released earnings for its second quarter.

Most notable to the domain name industry is that the company had a record quarter for domain name sales — $3.3 million.

There’s no additional insight into the sales in the company press release, but perhaps we’ll get more from its conference call.

Marchex typically sells $1M-2.5M in domain names each quarter from its portfolio. Last time I checked the minimum offer it considered for a domain was $30,000.

Second quarter revenue was $34.0 million, compared to $38.8 in the same quarter last year.

GAAP income was $330,000, or one cent per share.
