Goatse.cx which Yahoo reports has over 15,000 backlinks is for sale on seobidding
Now if you have never seen the site its VERY GRAPHIC adult content (although not right now) and it appears to be banned in google (no pr or indexed pages). Goat.cx although extreamly vulger has maanged to get a ton of super high quality links from slashdot and several news papers online. If the tool bar ever did turn green I would think it would be pr 6-7 domain.
Anyway I thought it was interesting to see it for sale.
While we are talking about interesting domains for sale I got a email the other day letting me know that patents.com/.net was for sale. I had previously inquired with the owner and I guess he has had a few inquiries cause he decided to put it up for private auction.
The auction is going until June 15th and the bid is currently at placed 4 days ago is $350,000.00. I expect this to go well into the millions. (Shoestradomus official guess is 5 million)
Its owned by a lawfirm who I think is pretty retarded for not doing it on eBay or a reputable auction place. Who knows really what people are bidding you have to take there word for it..
You can check out the auction here if you care.

Im also surprised that they didnt list it on a reputable auction site.
What was your offer?
my offer was just to give them a revshare of whatever I did with it. They were not interested
. At the time (2 years ago) I thought I could make 1-2M a year off of it.
that is crazy money…shoe. Are you thinking about purchasing the Goatse.cx site also? or just not in your taste?
Oh I think goatse.cx is right up his alley
Good money from a quality domain!!
Oh.. you mean the site
My guess is 3.5 million, due to the bidding process.
Last time I saw a mention of goatse.cx, the TLD authority for .cx had banned the domain.
Sounds like it’s back – with a vengeance
John Reece bought Income.com for $1.0m, didn’t he? Goatse.cx is an internet meme – so surely it’s got to sell for more than that.
Lol, the current bid is $502,402,000,000
with horrible, horrible quality content
lol, you’re right
They get the money, whether it is one a reputable auction site or otherwise..
My guess is 3 mil.
Domainers have all the fun.
dam, what kind of stuff would u have done with it?
apparently the current bid for goal is 1+e12 which is equal to 1,000,000,000,000.
one trilion. ya right.
Imagine how many adwords bids you could buy for 5 million that would show up before the 5th place ranking of patent.com.
Sorry, but no way in hell any domain is worth that much. Simply spending the same money branding an entirely new domain would be significantly more effective.
Yeah I agree… It just isnt worth it. that millions can feed millions of hungry children or buy me some love… jejeje!
Nice names, I need to buy goatse
Hy Shoe, also harpzon.com for sale
i dont even get the name?
I hate Domainers! It seems the better known you get the more they try and blackmail you for to get your dropped domain back.
mmmmm goat….
what is the .cx extension?
Thanks for another wonderful article. Where else could anybody get that type of information in such an ideal way of writing? I’ve a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information.
This may be the superb weblog for anybody who wishes to seek out out about this subject. You acknowledge a lot its nearly arduous to argue with you (not that I severely would want…HaHa)!!! You definitely put a model new spin on a topic thats been written about for decades. Nice things, merely good!
