ICM Registry, LLC, the company that operates the .XXX, .PORN, .ADULT and .SEX TLDs, announces its Domain Matching Program for .XXX domain name owners is now open for business.
“The .PORN and .ADULT Domain Matching Program gives most .XXX domain holders a priority opportunity to register directly matching names in .PORN and .ADULT.
ICM Registry has reduced its registration fees for these names and some participating registrars are offering the names for as low as $12.99.
ICM has created an easy 1-2-3 guide to help .XXX domain holders figure out how to get their names this month, before the names become generally available.
The names sold during general availability will be priced at regular registration fees, which start at $65, depending on the registrar.
General availability begins on June 4th.
The registry is offering free webinars to help its community learn more about its launch programs and promotional offers. With the release of over 1,000 new TLDs under ICANN’s program, a lot of domain owners are confused and may not know when, where and how to register names of interest.
ICM is also offering adult-industry keyword names in .XXX, .PORN and .ADULT as a part of its ongoing Premium Program.
ICM is participating in the upcoming adult industry shows, Eurowebtainment in Majorca, Spain and XBIZ, in Miami, FL for those interested in acquiring Premium Names.
The .SEX TLD will launch later this year and ICM plans to offer a similar Domain Matching Program for .SEX.””
Hello MHB,
Speaking of Porn, Swindles and Spam, Lurking in Your Search Results / (New York Times – Business Thur. may 23/13.
“SEM Online advertisements are 182 times more likely to deliver malicious content than pornographic sites ”
Search Engine Spammers know that spelling mistakes open a door for SEO Manipulated interference. Its very common for people to leave out the o in a .COM site, search, opening the door for SEO Thievery(The Act of Stealing),
So for instance if you type in .cm the country code for cameroon, you might get Spam instead of the .COM page you wanted. This also applies to a misspelled .co where the m is left out.
Other door openers for spammers,are Web Address shorteners ( Truncated URLs) which can often lead you to unsavory Web destinations.
The need for Correctly spelled Web addresses, is becoming more and more pronounced, especially with the addition of millions of new web addresses, that will be created with the additional New Quasi-Derivative gTLD Hordes entering the DNS.
