Weather.com & Weather Channel For Sale

Want to own Weather.com? How often does a domain name with such a great following come up for sale? Now is your chance. Landmark Communications is selling the domain name, and as a bonus, they’re throwing in the Weather Channel, all the software and more.

It is expected to sell for $5 billion because of the huge brand identity and traffic loyalty.

Here are some realistic numbers so you can see why it costs that much: * leader of the market on December 2007, with 36,7% of the share. Other competitors include weather.yahoo.com, weather.msn.com, and accuweather.com * during December 2007, from all the visitors, 74% were repeat visitors * still on the past month of December, weather.com came in second place for the “News & Media” section (coolest-gadgets)
