While some adult web masters and publishers view the .XXX gTLD as a departure from what is traditionally a dot .com realm, there is plenty of data that indicates that developing on .XXX domains would be quite profitable.
DomainGang does not publish nudity, but we’ve definitely published images of beautiful, scantily clad females in the past. When found and clicked on Google, these images take one to the article that contained the image. 😀
Some of these images rank high in Google and we can thus confirm that a large number of visitors performing searches related to .XXX domain names and the ICM Registry, come from predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East and Asia.
Shocking as it may seem, visitors from Pakistan, Iraq, Egypt, Algeria, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia (!) and Turkey rank high in visits to articles such as “Oops! YouTube censors Dot .XXX ‘Hot Dog’ video“. A lot of these searches are for “xxx video” and related adult keywords.
The reason is simple: religious or political doctrines cannot truly suppress the natural urges of the predominately male audience and its quest for adult material on the Internet.
Perhaps it’s time for adult web masters to embrace that untapped source of traffic and consider developing more .XXX domain names.
The ICM Registry also provides an index of developed web sites, at XXX.XXX that is constantly updated.
