Is Google experimenting with swapping out .com domains when an equivalent .xxx exists? - GoFuckYourself.com

seeric · 08-31-2011, 03:19 PM

Google

ifriends

Come back and post here what you see please.

I got ifriends.xxx as the number 1 result.
Note: There is no Google cache of friends.xxx.

Lots of domain ages, authorities, inbound links, and lots of other scoring variables exist on the rest of those results on page 1. It appears that all of that is being disregarded at the moment. Why is the question.

Will be interesting to see if this is just Google adding the extension to their index, or if there is more to it.

That would just be fantastic if they gave .xxx priority over .com.

ICM Registry Announces Launch of iFriends.xxx, First High-Profile .XXX Site

PALM BEACH, Fla., Aug. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ICM Registry, the company behind the .XXX top level domain (TLD), today announces the launch of ifriends.xxx, the first high-profile site to launch in the .XXX space.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110818/FL54629LOGO )
iFriends, the internet's first large-scale adult webcam network, has been the template for virtually all other adult webcam sites. Since its inception in 1998, iFriends has introduced numerous innovations such as Cam2Cam, HD video, and 3D video streaming technology, all things that today are taken for granted in the online adult space.
"We are proud to be part of the Founders Program and are enthusiastic about the opportunities that working with ICM Registry presents for us and our affiliates," says Stacy Psaros, WebPower's spokesperson. "Our company's culture is one of innovation and forward-thinking business practices. We recognized these same qualities in ICM Registry and the .XXX space. ifriends.xxx is just the first of a number of prominent domains that we look forward to launching."
"WebPower's vision of the adult marketplace and their way of detecting and developing new opportunities such as .XXX are remarkable," says Vaughn Liley of ICM Registry. "Their participation in the Founders program is particularly valuable given their long history and prominence in the adult industry. The launch of these sites clearly demonstrates our goal of making .XXX a vibrant and content-rich domain."
The iFriends adult webcam network is operated by WebPower, Inc. WebPower also operates the ClickCash affiliate marketing program, one of the oldest and largest adult affiliate programs.
ICM Registry is now focused on the launch that starts on September 7 with the opening of the Sunrise period. For more information, please visit about.xxx

ifriends.net came up first for me.

Maybe someone is paying some money for those results.

I think it's way to early to jump to conclusions.

There are many other industries that have their own extensions.

When you look for cheap cruises, you don't get cheapcruises.travel, you get all .coms

When you look for airlines, you don't get airlines.aero, you get all .coms

When you look for jobs, you don't get jobs.jobs, you get all .coms

However,

When you look for US Army, you do get Army.mil

When you look for Stanford University, you do get Standford.edu

When you look for Red Cross, you get RedCross.org

It appears to me that when the search connects the user to a commercial entity, .com still rules the planet. In every case, when I search for something that is education, government, or non profit organizations, you will get the specialty extension, .mil, .edu, .org.

.XXX is a for profit, commercial extension. That's pretty clear.

My

anyhow.

No .xxx on first 2 pages.

nextri · 08-31-2011, 04:26 PM

This isn't necessarily done by google.
With the right headers and redirects for googlebots, ifriends.com could make google show .xxx instead.
Perhaps it's part of ICM's strategy. Force this domain to get ranked before the .com, so that people see it, and thing .xxx has an advantage in the serps

I get two paid results, the dot com, then the dot xxx. Then I see the dot net, and a twiter site.

I've put new dot coms online that jumped to the top of the listings only to be beaten down a short time later.

The big double standard here seems to be that if google treats this extention so differently than the other extentions that have been released in the past the question is why is google accepting this extention so quickly while basically rejecting all other new tlds.

Bladewire · 08-31-2011, 07:33 PM

Seems like a manipulation of the market to create perceived added value to the .xxx extension.

Two weeks after Ifriends.xxx launches it magically appears as the #1 result with no explanation
