That's some awesome sales there.

Thanks!

Absolute killer domain you have, congrats!! Logo looks great!

Among other concerns, I think people are more against the re-sale of .xxx versions of their existing keyword term .com domains before they had the opportunity to register the corresponding .xxx domain.

For instance, this thread is about shemale.xxx which has the following whois entry:

Domain ID:D1373-ICM

Now look at the shemale.com whois entry:

Domain Name: SHEMALE.COM

These do not appear to be owned by the same entity. Dot xxx was advertising the fact that existing .com owners would be able to register their .com name in .xxx.

In actuality it appears that the .xxx versions of high end .com domains have been sold off before the .com owners had any chance of acquiring them.

So you are basing these bounce rates of your competitors on alexa stats which we all know isn't the big pictures or accurate in any way.

You do realize what you've said here makes zero sense, right? If your competitors were not adult sites I could see what you are saying but since they are all adult sites, it shouldn't make a difference in bounce rates. The surfer does not even have to visit the site to realize its an adult site, just the description is enough but you are saying you have a lower bounce rate because people know its an adult site because of the .xxx...it just makes no sense what you are saying. backroomcastingcouch.com is an adult site too. Its not like people are visiting them and then leaving because they had no clue.

There are plenty of good domain names that can be had for pretty cheap. Orgasms.xxx is not a brand. Thats just a generic term associated with many things. Look at adult brands, they are almost never based on one word generic terms, yet the the companies are making millions on them. I guess if they had a one word generic .xxx they'd do billions, right? :1orglaugh

Get real man. A short domain is nice but far from necessary for success. I guess its part of the 'founders' program to kiss .xxx ass?

How do you get access to your competitors' bounce rates? Don't say Alexa.

Good for you, buy up all the .xxx's. Noone else wants them.

Alexa is the only place i know where I can get that type of info so yes. I know Alexa is not the best place to get stats from but the bounce rate they show for my sites is pretty much what Google Analytics is telling me too, so I assumed there was a degree of accuracy there, but if not, then I will revoke that statement regarding my competitors bounce rates.

As I have stated a few times on GFY, we are a brand new network and we have not run sites before, but have been producing adult content for around 9 years for another established brand, so we are very new to actually operating websites.

I'd get some advice from someone who has then before you start posting alexa bollocks as fact. Do you know how they get their data even?

We had registered some .com domain names for the sites, but they were not anything like Orgasms.xxx thats for sure. As I wrote before, I am sure that because of our quality of content, we would have succeeded on a domain like smackmybitchup.com, but orgasms.xxx looks and sounds much better and is so much easier for marketing.

As for kiss .xxx ass, funny you should write that, as we launch www.kiss.xxx in a weeks time.

emailed you guys twice this week. No response.

Can you drop me a line at roald @ freeones.com please.

Im most certainly open to be educated on the fact if you have the time?
