The .XYZ launch has been making headlines for this past week.
But is all publicity, good publicity?
As Rick Schwartz said on Domain Sherpa regarding the registration numbers of .XYZ:
“I’m sorry – that does not count to circulation, OK?”
Aided by 64,693 .XYZ registrations at Network Solutions that are most likely ‘freebies’ to NetSol customers, the total number of gTLDs has surpassed 1,000,000 domains.
Was the XYZ/NetSol promo a brilliant marketing scheme, or an unfair attempt at gaming the numbers?
You decide.
Should the XYZ numbers be considered valid and clean?
- Yes. Every registration counts, even robo-registration freebies (16%, 15 Votes)
- No. If a live, breathing person didn't register the domain, it's not legit (84%, 77 Votes)
Total Voters: 92
