.XYZ the most popular new gTLD

Out of the new gTLDs released in the past 24 months, .XYZ is miles ahead of the rest.

Why? Do you think it's because of the .xyz investors promoting it somehow or is there a real benefit for it?

So far I've never seen a .xyz tld.

I'm not sure.

There has been a recent spike across all gTLDs recently since Google clarified how it deals with them. However .XYZ has been growing rapidly since it was released.

Is that marketing, or do people see some value in it above and beyond other gTLDs ?

2000+ new registrations of .XYZ since the Google announcement.

However there were already over 740,000 before that.

Maybe there was some prior knowledge or speculation that google would use the abc.xyz domain.

Personally, I never considered buying a .xyz even though I bought other extensions.

We thought XYZ was a great domain TLD for our metrics and demographics analysis domain, though we don't have it publicly offered -- just thought the TLD "fit".

Keep in mind that an EMD won't automatically give you a ranking boost, however if it's relevant to your site it can certainly help.

While it may look that way they stuffed some 400k xyz domains into netsol accounts without people requesting them and at a lot of registrars you can get them for a buck.

I'm seeing more webcam and solo girls using .love TLD, more on apps. Anyone know if that's effective as a type in or with SEO?

Namecheap has been offering $1.00 xyz domains for over a month now, I scored a bunch of decent ones.

Could be because Network Solutions was automatically adding matching .xyz domains to customers' .coms with an opt-out clause.

Sneaky.

However whatever it is, it's worked, because no other alternative gTLD is getting as many registrations right now.

You are seriously overthinking it.

Mailers is the answer for a lot of the success when you see spikes like that. They burn through anywhere from a few dozen to hundreds of domains per day. Do the math on that over the course of a year. A lot of the cheaper domains you see spikes accordingly.

That's quite a good point and true to an extent.

Except that with XYZ there has not been the corresponding drops in resolving IP addresses that we see rise and fall when .info domains are 99 cents.

.XYZ peaked a couple of months ago and has had a slight fall, however since the NETSOL deal of giving people opt out XYZ domains I would attribute most of the fall to that.

A large percentage of these domains are on the web as websites. They range from blogs to torrent sites to CNET sized sites. e.g.: CNET.xyz redirects to CNET.

I think it's because it's the cheapest of all the new extensions which range anywhere from $27.99 to $100 each.

The popularity of .xyz only shows that people want cheap shit.
