Domain rutreker.org sold for 75 000 rubles
I would like to expand the history of the domain rutreker.org, registered on the day of the move torrents.ru to a new, well-known address. The beginning of the story is here .
After registering a domain, I tried to figure out what to do with it and with 4,000-5,000 people calling every day. I wanted to try different methods of monetization, which I would never use on normal SOMs. To keep the traffic, a site was created with links to third-party torrent trackers. He performed his task quite well and after a month of existence, the site even had a core audience of 300 people. At the moment the site is transferred to the domain torrents.tw but the story is not about him.
On the site, adSense (2 skyscrapers) and teasernet teasers were tested. Adsense brought about $ 3-4 per day, teasers less, so they were removed. Since the attendance still continued to fade away slowly, and there was no desire to put up a torrent tracker, the question arose whether to sell the domain to someone more interested.
First, a survey was made on the forum SE, in which the maximum offer amounted to 30 thousand rubles. Later, letters were written to all owners of known torrent trackers on Runet with a purchase offer. Most either did not respond or refused, someone, such as the owners of the original rutracker.org, offered a maximum of $ 150. But torrentino.ru responded about their readiness to buy a domain for our price of $ 2500 and the transaction took place. If the traffic were more monetized, it would be possible to call the price too low, and so, taking into account its some extinction, it would seem adequate to both parties.

Meanwhile, in the newspaper, Vedomosti wrote an article Pirates without a network , in which they also confused the domain name (I quote: “a representative of the largest Russian file-sharing service rutreker.org”) and have not corrected it so far. Then the article was reprinted securitylab.ru , pravo.ru and others. This is journalism.
The story ends here. Without morality, just as news.
