NameMedia (Buydomains/Yesdirect/ActiveAudience/Goldkey) has announced that they have purchased Afternic. While the Buydomains portfolio was already listed in the Afternic marketplace, this deal creates additional synergies for both parties. The domains listed on Afternic’s website can now also be included in the Buydomains listings – they can even share the sales force who can now act as brokers. Also, as Andrew from DomainNameWire points out, Afternic can now profit from the ActiveAudience domain monetization platform.
