SEO Worth $5 Million?

Dont panic, the bottom didnt just fall out of the search engine optimization industry, its still very much healthy.

In fact, as DotSauce is reporting that the domain name SEO.com just sold for $5 million!!!

Mike Mann is a prominent internet entrepreneur who sold BuyDomains company a few years ago for more than $65 million. His latest tech venture is just that, a venture capital firm based in Washington D.C. which goes by the name of WashingtonVC.

Yesterday Mann announced the purchase of SEO.com by WashingtonVC for $5 million as well as the formation of an SEO firm led by Dave Bascom. The company is formerly known as Web Targeted, search engine optimization company located in Utah. Jay mentions this new domain will give them a huge advantage over the fierce competition of Search Engine Optimizers.

What do you think, worth the price? I know that SEO.com will likely bring immediate brand recognition, but its not going to guarantee theyll be sitting on the top of Googles results (Wikipedia will see to that). ;-)
