Well its taken a while but the bang on domain name Porn.xxx is has made it to the first page of Google for the search term “porn”.
As you might imagine, porn its one of the toughest terms to rank on the first page on, with millions of adult sites all trying to get in that position.
Interestingly with all the talk about how Google has lessened the importance of Exact Match Domains, 4 of the top 6 sites ranking on the first page of Google under the search term porn have the word porn in the domain name:
PornHub.com
Youporn.com
Porn.com
Porn.XXX.
It goes to show you that bang on new gTLD domains will have a good chance of ranking well, with content and other factors equally weighted.
It will take sometime but all new gTLD operators will like these results.
sorry michael, its not on the top, still pornhub.com is on the top and porn.xxx is not on the 1st page
.xxx is a good tld. Why? it is not really a part of the domain. Porn.xxx makes more sens than Pornxxx.com.
PornWebsites.com is better than Porn.websites. The coma means the end of the “phrase” and should not be used in the coma middle.
Hi, my name is coma Xavier
Hi, my name is Xavier.
porn.xxx ranks 20th place for me on Google (last spot, second page).
PornHub.com ranks 1st for me, followed by youporn.com on second place.
Porn.com is on 7th place on my Google search, a lot better than porn.xxx.
I think “with content and other factors” is the important part. This is true of any extension. But quality “content” is the hardest part to do. There are tons of .COMs and other established TLDs in a wide range of categories that have had a headstart of a decade or more in that department.
Once all the gTLDs come out, it will be impossible for most to get on the first page, just as it’s impossible for most .COMs to be on the first page now. There’s only so much room, and you have to be among the best, and have a good number of other quality sites linking to you, while also having strong keywords.
By the way, Porn.XXX showed up #7 for me on the first page. That’s a strong keyword of course, as well as having plenty of links going to it. Most gTLD owners (or owners of .COM, .ORG, .NET, etc) won’t will be that fortunate.
As far as I know if you’re logged in to a Google service (for example gmail) then Google will filter results based on your browsing habits, in other words if you visited porn.xxx in the past a few times it may end up high in your search results, whereas other people who never visited porn.xxx will see the real search rank of porn.xxx.
After reading the couple of comments here, there may be some randomness to the algorithm, trying to give the better-known sites some more-or-less fairly equal exposure. Although PornHub.com appears to be the clear winner.
Curiously, Porn.XXX doesn’t even show up in the first 10 pages of Bing…

For me then, that’s not the case… in fact I block Google’s cookies from being placed on my computer. (As well as Bing.) I have only a very select number of sites I allow cookies from, and no third-party cookies, either.
Does this all mean that i’ll have a great chance of success when my site potatochips.horse goes live!!!!!
You have to add “&pws=0” to the end to kill the personalized results. It does show up on the first page for me if I remove that. So it does seem like it’s legitimately on the first page.
page one, position 7 here.
The real question should be, where is Candy.com.
Merry Christmas.
It’s # 149.
It’s a fully developed adult site with an exact match keyword domain. Do those two things and you have a great shot at page 1.
i just spent 2 hours on porn sites…thanks!
do people still goto google and search for porn…u should know your favorite porn site by now…i like youjizz.com
It will be noted that the favorite porn site of the guy with the Avatar of a Monkey is youjizz.com
Location also matters. Even with Safari in “private browsing” mode (which is a good way to test for unpersonalized results), going to google.com redirects me to local country Google, which then prefers local language content. porn.xxx appears nowhere here.
