According to DNJournal.com at the lastest Moniker/TRAFFIC auction Ad.com was sold for $1.4 million to Divyank Turakhia from Skenzo. Interestingly Ad.com is owend by Marcos Guillen who obtained the domain from a San Francisco company called Artifical Development Inc. It looks as if the domain was obtained around Januray 28th of 2008 by Mr. Guillen.
One a side note Advertising.com (founded by John and Scott Ferber) was always referred to (internally and within the advertising community) as Ad.com. Advertising.com is now owned by AOL/Time Warner.
According to the latest data from Compete.com the domain receives roughly 4,000 unique visitors a month. A good amount of that is probably due to the extensive amount of back links (3,000 Yahoo) that the domain has. It will be interesting to see what the new owner plans to do with this domain.
More information to follow as it becomes available.
