Fasthosts.co.uk published a report on the most valuable domains. They really should have worded it as most valuable websites, because that’s what they are talking about and it’s development and traffic that determined the placements.
It seems odd to me that Amazon.com did not make the top 10. Of course this is just one company’s valuation process. Yahoo with a market cap of $47 billion made the list, Amazon’s market cap is currently $1.577 Trillion.
