5. UIO.com sold for $21,600
This domain has traded hands a couple times in recent years, as discussed in this prior flop. It was being auctioned again on Flippa as recently as January of this year, but bidding only got up to $13k in that auction. Hopefully, the domain has now found a home, as a new app is under development, and you can see in the screenshot below that part of their pitch is the ease of remembering and typing “UIO”, as the letters are adjacent to each other on a QWERTY keyboard. “UiO is an online app that lets you bookmark, tag, and categorize your websites and phone numbers in a way that’s actually useful. UiO.com is probably the only website you ever need to remember.” This is the traffic leader for the week, with its Alexa rank near 5.5 million.

@ Aaron, each number kind of resembles the letter below it:
6047
GOAT
Thanks fizz, now I kind of see it. Seems like a stretch to me!
If you’re drunk and cross-eyed, 6047 looks like GOAT lol
Thanks Ed, I’ll take another look the next time I have a few beers….maybe it will all be crystal clear!
