Master of Domain:
Business.com Gets
Big Payday, Again
R.H. Donnelley to Pay
Up to $360 Million in Deal;
Yellow Pages to Web Pages
By DENNIS K. BERMAN
July 26, 2007; Page C2

The Web's original high-price domain name has been sold again -- for another lofty price.

Telephone-directory company R.H. Donnelley Corp. clinched a deal for Web-based marketing directory Business.com Inc. for between $340 million and $360 million, according to a person familiar with the transaction.

Business.com was founded by entrepreneurs Jake Winebaum and Sky Dayton in 1999. The two were widely mocked for lavishing $7.5 million on a single Internet domain name -- business.com -- at the time. It was then the highest price paid for a domain name.

The deal represents the increasing influence of the Internet in the yellow-pages and white-pages business of Donnelley, which publishes paper and online directories in 28 states under the AT&T, Dex and Embarq names, among others.

Business.com works as a kind of online yellow pages. It allows users to search for business services, while collecting a bounty for sending Internet traffic to individual merchants.

The Santa Monica, Calif., company has cash flow -- of about $15 million -- that will be but a minuscule portion of Donnelley's 2006 operating income of $442 million. Traditional publishers are nonetheless willing to pay top dollar for Web-based businesses, given their overall growth rate and the wider consumer shift to Internet habits.

For that reason, the company was pursued by companies including Dow Jones & Co., publisher of The Wall Street Journal, and New York Times Co., which lost out in the auction conducted by Credit Suisse Group.

Some have begun to question the viability of paper phone directories. Earlier this year, Microsoft Corp. founder Bill Gates predicted that "yellow-page usage amongst people...say, below 50, will drop to near zero over the next five years."

Donnelley, of Cary, N.C., has disputed that notion, saying young people are frequent paper-directory users, while also noting that it has exactly the kind of feet-on-the-street infrastructure necessary to get small, local businesses into Internet advertisements.

Co-founder Mr. Winebaum will remain at the company, and will assume the post of president of the company's interactive unit.

三億六千萬美金，真不可思議。我想其中很大成份是為了business.com這網址，因為網站本身並不很熱門。
