Like you would say anything else.

Where did you advertise?

How many of the buyers were experienced webmasters running successful sites?

How many were domain buyers looking to cash in?



If you were adverting outside porn, the traffic was surfers and conversion would of made Pornhub traffic look like gold dust.

Unless the sites rebill, you have a one off sale.

Unless the business picks up on buying dotxxx, brokers won't be able to give the domains away.

Let's face it the big fish with their names protected by copyright will crush anyone who buys a dotxxx with their name in. The small fish are being gobbled up by the day.

You arrived 5-6 years too late. The time to milk the online porn cow was 2005. Trying to milk it now is a waste of time. Yes maybe a few bought, but without rebills. You have a turkey. In fact not even a turkey, they're big, fat and full of meat. You have a dud.

As u-Bob points out, if you're successful. Then we will all have to buy .sex .porn .smut and any other TLD that can be dreamed up.
