Sean Markey explains why these domains with existing authority and strong backlink profiles sold for high prices.

In March 2023, Newfold Digital sold several domains, including Jurn.org, SkylineHotel.com, CultureAndTourism.org, BuildABetterBurb.org, NCWD-Youth.info, and Heptune.com, with prices ranging from $2,000 to $4,950. Despite mediocre domain names, these domains were purchased for their SEO value and high number of referring domains, making them valuable assets.
For instance, Jurn.org, a four-letter .org domain with over 3,000 referring domains, sold for $5,300. Similarly, NCWD-Youth.info, an unattractive .info domain with a DR 66 and over 2,400 referring domains, sold for $4,950. SkylineHotel.com was immediately used as a redirect to a Southeast Asian cаsino site, while CultureAndTourism.org and several previously expired domains were 301'd through the site to their final destination.
Heptune.com, a DR 42 domain with over 2600 referring domains, was used to rank over 100 keywords, many of which were related to farting.
