The days of just .com, .net and .org are long and forever gone.
With hundreds of available gTLDs, it makes sense for some strings to be registered across the board, or at least, in large numbers.
What are the most popular keywords in the new Internet namespace?
Some can be large trademarks that instead of being locked out via the Trademark Clearing House, they are registered defensively in many gTLDs.
ZFBot, the domain search tool created by developer Ken Greenwood, is in the process of being renovated; several new tools are being planned for addition, one of which counts the most popular gTLD keywords.
Here are the 100 most registered domain keywords in new gTLDs, and the number of gTLDs they exist in, courtesy of ZFBot.com.

Update: You can now view the Top 1,000 keywords! 😀
The list is incredible–hardly believable.
Dimwits in the general public buying meaningless domains and hackers preparing their traps.
A few show promise, but darn few–not unlike the new gTLDs.
Merck & Amazon protecting their names… a few law departments awake, that in itself is surprising.
One has wonder, who the hell is Rothenberg?
And the point of all this, besides in adequate IPNs, is what?
