XXX Names
Got a call from Godaddy about XXX and my trademarks.
Sooooo........$210 to register a sunrise trademark. Tell me,what happened tom the "about $60" that was proposed? I told Godaddy my feelings about supporting XXX, and any registrar that was also supporting them. I only hope the rest of the industry holds the line.

Re: XXX Names
$60 is the rock bottom wholesale price. I'd be interested in knowing what percentage of people are actually paying that low price. I wouldn't take it for free.

GoDaddy and others are adding a sizable markup. I just can't see anyone buying up a bunch of these. A few will be thinking they have to protect their brand, and a few trying to cut in on someone's .com brand, but at $200+ per domain there won't be much speculating going on. Unless I'm missing something major I just don't see how ICM is going to recoup the millions they've already spent. Now isn't that a shame *insert sarcasm smiley here*

Thankfully, in most Western countries, any move like this by governments would be met with resistance on all sides. The conservatives would scream that it gives porn legitimacy, and the liberals would scream that it limits free speech. In the Eastern block, they would just ignore it. The .XXX people just don't have a ton of cards left to play, that is why we are seeing high priced domains as they attempt to fleece back as much money as possible up front. I am betting that the "support for the industry groups" goes to shit fast enough, and there will be plenty of "where did the money go from .XXX" threads at GFY in about a year or so.

Re: XXX Names
Ultimitely, it will be Google who will decide if .xxx will fly or not.
If adult-oriented searches start to yield only .xxx results, the masses will simply go with it, and the dominos will fall from there.

2) Google isn't the only traffic source on the planet, and I'd suspect that it's not even the #1 source for a substantial percentage of adult sites.

2. Possibly not, but Google is still shepherd, and the masses are its sheep. Its influence can't be denied.

Re: XXX Names
I'm in keeping with the thoughts that have been expressed here, and certainly I'll give it a year before we see what the ramification are. It would be naive to think that it is something that will blow over all of us, albeit due to search engines, trademarks, porn in general or all of the above.

Re: XXX Names
Actually, .xxx is nothing compared to some of the steps Google is taking, particularly aimed at "affiliate" sites, as well as freshness calculations in their algo. It's been a bloodbath for many existing, older sites.

Re: XXX Names
Yup, if your SEO strategy has relied heavily on link trades with other similar sites then nearly every Google algo adjustment over the last couple of years has taken another bite out of your traffic.

They said that if you owned the .com domain you would have first rights to buy the .xxx. I have heard several people who paid the $130 or whatever to register the .xxx of their .com and all that happened was it caused the .xxx domain to go up for auction for the highest bidder and the $130 lol well that just disappears... Bunch of fucking scammers. I am glad to say I will never buy, i wouldn't take one if it was free. It has no value, you wont get any traffic from them unless you own one of the top 100 or so best keyword domains (which those get sold to the highest bidders as well). It is just one big waste of money. |
