.xxx and .com

Hi

I wonder is there a difference in Google when it comes .com and .xxx domain?
Does Google treat .xxx same as .com?

Cheers

Yes but .com is always the more preferred and well known

NatalieK.com comes up first if searching for just Natalie K, but if Natalie K xxx, Natalie K adult, Natalie K porn, bla bla bla

the .com doesn´t come up in google search but the .xxx does...


so literally depends on the terms used. If someone´s looking for porn, the .xxx will have priority

Domain extensions. Non of them have priority. I've ranked a .pics or .live domain higher than multiple .com sites on high volume keywords

It's all about backlinks etc

Yeah. Domain extensions are pretty irrelevant.

I'm pretty happy that my competitors worry about irrelevant shit like this though.

.Xxx was a silent coup within this industry, funded in part by a soylent publication. Everyone seems to forget that. Trademark your .com. Sue anyone with the .xxx. No need to buy it

Yep, but it was comical to watch panic in style "OMG the xxx will take over google" . Yeah right, google will give advantage to some random bozos just like that.

I think the panic was and I quote “the ghettoization of the adult industry”

That was the panic. That being forced unto 1 tld for an entire industry which could be flipped off or sand boxed.

The main reason i want to use .xxx, because there are still nice names available. I was thinking about the disadvantages of using .xxx. Good to see that there aren't any, apart from the domain price.

absolutely, you can get some amazing names & all people moan about is the cost...


so it´s a tenner a month, not a quid a month, can´t you make the 10 a month


anyone moaning about the price, there´s a problem with your earnings?!


if everyone in the adult business, took up the .xxx and pushed their .coms to this, then it would seriously be great for the adult business, the controversy & all that

Not complaining about the price, but i guess many ppl will avoid .xxx because of it.

xxx domains are way overpriced. It's not worth the extraordinary extra prices they want. Get a .com name. If the domain is taken change it a bit or add a number. Don't let the xxx bandits win your hard earned money.

Most people out of habit type .com.

so if you get such as a .xxx you will have people out of habit type .com so if you do not own the .com you will send hits to another site.

Also .xxx sites are much easer to ban, and any system wanting to hide por sites will do so with ease.

If it is a site such as a blog, then .xxx is less of a problem , but if it is a main site .com is more brandable.

Plus a lot of affiliates have told me they only promote .com sites.

And Gary shows you why you should go for the .com as if somone wanted to find his site they would get the dot com.

google has explicitly said they don't consider TLD in their algorithm

but as someone already pointed out in this thread, people will type ".com" out of habit. if you're trying to build a brand you want .com

Yes

However, one suspects that such as google will if not now, will do at some point set it so .xxx sites show low down or not at all as advertisers will not want to be next to pornsites.

but as Gary has informed us, even when you do a direct search for NatalieK it brings up the .com site that is not his.

Most webmasters with half a brain would know that is bad.

Think this way, somone sees a vid or pic with your site url on it, and types it in to google. Most will type with the .com on. And they will presume that is the site.

At some universities they teach you as part of marketing to always have .com for this reason.

It is not often I will say Gary is right. But today he has shown us correctly not having a .com is as a huge mistake.

So don't be a Gary, get a .com.

.club is great for models & many also like .cam or .blog if using from their main site to link to other sites rather than having sub domains...

Other than my blog, the .com & my site, the .xxx, I have NatalieK.club, it´s just a social page with links, but is nice to have
