Did it? How so?

it is getting traffic, especially from China

http://www.alexa.com/search?q=search..._home&p=bigtop

this is not about me gramps, you trying divert attention away from xxx like you always do.

no worries, that is the search bot of the great firewall creating an index of which sites to block :thumbsup

Actually, it sounds to me like you are trying to divert the attention away from you after you tried to make it about Baddog, and then he proved you wrong that he did indeed take a stand -- which regardless of what anyone thinks about him, at least he DID make a stand -- which is more than most here did, including myself.

And in the end, all he asked you was what you did, beyond what most do, posting on the message board bandwagon.

Best to just admit you called it wrong, and move on.

Wait, I thought you were suggesting I was pro XXX; why would I divert attention away from something I favored?

Until the Great Firewall catches it. Otherwise, it is just useless traffic that is appropriate for their site.

I think you're being trolled. :2 cents:

On behalf of me:
Fuck off eat shit and die.

granted, I'm ridiculously frugal, but why the hell would I pay $100 per year for the pleasure of owning the .xxx version of my domain?

when I google the xxx extension of my domain the first results are for my .com site anyways

seems like a huge rip-off for anyone who doesn't own a huge website with a ton of competitors

You mean you wouldn't want the opportunity to pay 10-12 times the registration/renewal fee of your much more valuable .com to own a .xxx? Why? What's wrong with that? :1orglaugh

^^^I'm saying

I'm probably just not clever enough to recognize the tremendous value inherent to a ridiculously expensive domain that very few of my potential customers would ever search for anyways

I don't think he is that smart.

The whole idea behind xxx are defensive registrations, like coca cola etc
That is why uncle Stuart is also going to do .sex .porn .porno .anal .deepthroat .bukkake .godknowswhataslongashecansell it

Anyone who still didn't figure that out and thinks Stuart is really here to help the industry should go fuck himself

That really makes me wanna buy your shitty xxx domains now to support your cause...






:upsidedow :1orglaugh

Nothing to worry about.

.xxx sites seem to have quality issues. I poked around and didn't really see anything worth sticking around for.

Lately I am getting the following, I see china and chile is less, I am amazed there's no indians:

United States 437 22.87%
France 230 12.04%
Germany 193 10.10%
Turkey 134 7.01%
China 114 5.97%
Israel 111 5.81%
Chile 81 4.24%
Canada 47 2.46%
Mexico 47 2.46%
Switzerland 37 1.94%
Italy 35 1.83%
United Kingdom 27 1.41%
Austria 24 1.26%
Australia 22 1.15%
Finland 21 1.10%
Poland 20 1.05%
Japan 18 0.94%

Poor quality results if you ask me. Surfers may give it a try, but they won't stick around for long.

Their spidering it is not daily; 2 days ago I edited text of a site to see when it will be updated in search.xxx results, but still no changes. Maybe is weekly? or they update in blocks...

gramps you were trying to devert the negative attention. How is your reading comprehension didn't you read this thread everyone is complaining about them.

Peterk is right. Ever since ICM Registry bought Irvine, baddog has been using subtle snarky comments to attack critics of the dotxxx tld.

What does that have to do with me you idiot?

Proof or STFU.

Baddog, if one person says you stink, it could be a problem with his nose. If a dozen persons say you stink, it's probably time you take a shower. You've always had an awful attitude on GFY, but lately your posts have had IFFOR stench all over them. It's time to reevaluate your own style or take a shower.

+ + + + + 3

So, provide an example. Let's test your reading comprehension.

Anyone interested in statistics rather than scat photos,

You can use those stats as you wish, including plot these over poo images or ICM testimonial/boicott banners.

seems to have broken the alexa top 1000 mark for a day or so

Thanks...:thumbsup

It is not hard to break the Alexa 1000 mark if most of your visitors are webmasters.

orly!!!!

Traffic stable, 617 hits.

2012-10-01 617 (HQ 391 : 63.37%)

For this traffic, via our pay per free program we would pay the affiliate some $3 per day. This would be $900 per year, more than the xxx domains cost, but this is only if search.xxx will keep sending same or more traffic for the following 365 days. A stable alexa #1000 as someone mentioned.
Also hits and rank shuld be considered for HQ only, USA hits are not same as Chile hits... all those israel china and turkey are of little use, geo target of 2012-10-01 it is:

United States 140 22.69%
Israel 77 12.48%
Germany 60 9.72%
France 58 9.40%
Switzerland 54 8.75%
China 34 5.51%
Turkey 26 4.21%
Norway 19 3.08%
Greece 12 1.94%
Chile 10 1.62%
Finland 9 1.46%
Netherlands 9 1.46%
Mexico 8 1.30%
Spain 8 1.30%
Austria 7 1.13%

Very interesting, thanks.

Well its certainly easier if a large percentage of your visitors are webmasters, but top 1000 is not exactly "not hard" to break these days no matter what way you look at it.

I searched a few terms in our niche (Japanese)

Found this gem

forums.phim18.xxx :mad:

and this one eforum.xxx

bunch of stolen content on there too.

It will be interesting how they (or anyone) can combat that on a forum

Users of the search engine would find what they really search for (more likely free full dvdrip than $30 per month pay site), this is what google does and this is what made google, and a few (mostly illegal) file lockers and tubes a dramatic success.

However this is not good for .xxx and iffor policies. As baddog said, a further complication it is that this is a forum and so user uploaded content, not the domain owner's content - we enter into the dmca mechanism "it was not me to upload and I didn't knew this was pirated until someone tells me". Should .xxx (iffor) say how to handle forums or user uploading services, under .xxx where anyone can upload anything from anywhere?

I think very low % of those hits are webmasters, I see signups as users and not as affiliates really (not that there are so many webmasters in GFY too, I also get mostly user signups from GFY lately...).

Anyway some of them filled the optional "How did you find us?" question in register page, and one from Canada, claimed age 53, wrote: newsweek.
In fact if you google for search.xxx there's lots of press talking about it, in web editions but maybe in print too, plus I suppose adverts.
However chinese and turkish must come from other sources.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh...........:2 cents:

Unfortunately the traffic from search.xxx it is fading down already:

It was 900 hits first 2 days, it is 216 after a week.
I made a few searches it seems no any change in results for my keywords.

http://traffic.alexa.com/graph?w=379...r&u=search.xxx

few things to learn from the graph :
1 - the site is not new and was up with no traffic at all for a while.
2 - the huge traffic burst in the last days can't be from type ins but from either a commercial or just traffic buy.
3 - surfers wont ever use a "search" engine who limits its search to small cut of websites.
4 - the thread starter thinks that gfy readers are utterly retarded.

Is Dumas still apart of .xxx? I want to eat that guys face off
ds

So much for .XXX helping to fight piracy. .XXX is already full of pirate forums and tubes. Oh, and that Vietnamese forum has kids on it. Looks like IFFOR and Joan the whore dropped the ball. But not surprised considering where they came from. Another useless organization.

Way to go everyone. :thumbsup

amen!
ds

Unless they clean up their results and remove the sites that are not developed most people will not return. :2 cents:

Failed....

http://i.imgur.com/14PTO.png Judging by the number of dotxxx registrations, the search.xxx launch failed to boost sales.

So far I have found tubes with stolen content, siterips and a few torrent sites in their search results.
