if you have a .xxx you would have got this email but i have posted it at the bottom for those who don't

interesting snipet thus this post:

we have also applied for three new gTLDs with ICANN; .Sex, .Porn, and .Adult. If we are awarded any of these extensions, we will automatically reserve your matching .XXX domain names in these new extensions for you at no additional cost. You, and only you, will have rights to the names.

Dear Sponsored Community Member, 
The ICM Registry team would like to thank you for helping make .XXX a global success within its first year of operation. 
As you are keenly aware, one of the biggest drivers of success for any website is the amount of traffic it receives. We learned from our Sponsored Community that recent updates to mainstream search engines caused adult content promotion to become more challenging. On September 27th of this year, ICM responded to this challenge by fulfilling on our promise to provide .XXX websites a "porn-only" search engine. 
We have promoted Search.xxx around the globe in mainstream news publications as well as online adult blogs and services. Since the launch of Search.xxx, there have been over 12 million page views, which in turn have generated millions of clicks to developed .XXX websites. Because of webmasters like you, consumers searching for adult content are able to find quality images and videos that match their interest, as well as view this desired content on a TLD dedicated to a safe and discreet method of doing so. 
With the recent success of Search.xxx, there is an increased desire within the .XXX Sponsored Community for premium placement on search results. We are responding to this by launching a Search.xxx Ad Platform in early 2013. Once launched, you will be able to buy prime ad placements that will link directly to your developed .XXX adult content websites. 
As a part of our appreciation for your continued support, we are giving $75 in ad credits for each .XXX domain that you own as of January 31st, 2013. For each .XXX domain name that you have registered or renewed by January 31, 2013, your ad credits will appear in your Sponsored Membership account. When we launch our program in 2013, you can apply your ad credits to any of the developed .XXX websites that you have in your membership account. To find out more about this promotional offer, check out the information at http://icmregistry.com/adplatform <http://t.ymlp299.net/wsuakahjshagaesyanaeqeys/click.php> . 
We believe that our search initiatives add value to our Sponsored Community. In addition to these initiatives, we have also applied for three new gTLDs with ICANN; .Sex, .Porn, and .Adult. If we are awarded any of these extensions, we will automatically reserve your matching .XXX domain names in these new extensions for you at no additional cost. You, and only you, will have rights to the names. Within the next year we hope to secure these new gTLDs so that we can protect your brands in those new TLDs or alternatively, so that we can provide you with even more market reach if you choose to use those TLDs to promote your websites. To find out more about our gTLD applications and unique "grandfathering" program for existing .XXX domain holders, check out the information at http://www.icmregistry.com/grandfathering <http://t.ymlp299.net/wseafahjshavaesyazaeqeys/click.php> . 
We will continue to create and offer new and exciting services that benefit our Sponsored Community and we look forward to working with you to continue to bring your .XXX sites to the world in a safe and responsible way. 
Sincerely, 
The ICM Registry Team

It'll be $297 per year, nice sales pitch by them. they'll be underselling on 1 in 100 and getting a great price on 99 in 100. If they get those extensions they'll probably make their money back fairly easily is my guess.

There are allot of keywords you can register with .XXX

the other day i hand reg CallingCard.xxx and PhoneCard.xxx i actually don't know why i did it - I only got about 2 or 3 adult domains in my portfolio...LOL - Now having seen this article PhoneCard.sex and CallingCard.sex may actually be worth something.

Too expensive for random speculations like that in my view.

.porn

.adult

.sex

it will suit the big players with single keywords but then again they can afford the $300 for all the annual renewals, i do actually think .porn will be something but it may take a generation/

Hey Findtim,

Have the .xxx names you purchased got/found any organic traffic inbound from serps?
Just wondering how they are performing compared to a .com or a .com.au for example..

there is nothing online at the moment so the answer is no, i am currently programming the first prototype which should be finished before xmas, then rolling out to the others i own in early feb ( i holiday in Jan )

so maybe by march 2013 i could report something

but i can tell you they are looking GREAT :)

i have 4 xxx's , nonnnnnnnnnnnn porn, just entertainment sites which i think are all good names.

i plan to us the coding i am currently doing to then duplicate into the other sites as they all have different content streams.

once again "directories" , seems to be my theme ! i'm using WP MU/MS which is slowing me up just because i'm having to learn it again.

once a site is completed i can't see why i can't get it to rank quickly, 1 market is highly competitive, 2 are medium competitive and the last should be EASY to rank.

this should be a good case study, i'm concerntrating on deveploing websites with CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT and i think it will work.

poolcleaner.xxx , i can see that working well on the goldcoast.

i'm not disagreeing with you on perception, i look at the .xxx as it has "memorable" value, it certainly works for me on the "radio test"

"getting married? do you want the best bucks night EVER ? bucksnights.xxx is the place to go"
