So you are basing these bounce rates of your competitors on alexa stats which we all know isn't the big pictures or accurate in any way.

The only reason I can see for that huge difference is that people typing into Google (that accounts for around 20% of our traffic, know that they are coming to an adult site because of the .xxx domain extension.

You do realize what you've said here makes zero sense, right? If your competitors were not adult sites I could see what you are saying but since they are all adult sites, it shouldn't make a difference in bounce rates. The surfer does not even have to visit the site to realize its an adult site, just the description is enough but you are saying you have a lower bounce rate because people know its an adult site because of the .xxx...it just makes no sense what you are saying. backroomcastingcouch.com is an adult site too. Its not like people are visiting them and then leaving because they had no clue.

Would we have had as a successful launch as we have had on a .com? Possibly, but I would not have had domains like orgasms.com or casting.com or Kiss.com as they were either not available or priced so high that it was out of our range. Then again, the sheer quality of our content will always shine, but I do know that the .xxx domains that I was able to secure have certainly helped with branding and a surprising amount of search engine traffic.

There are plenty of good domain names that can be had for pretty cheap. Orgasms.xxx is not a brand. Thats just a generic term associated with many things. Look at adult brands, they are almost never based on one word generic terms, yet the the companies are making millions on them. I guess if they had a one word generic .xxx they'd do billions, right?
Get real man. A short domain is nice but far from necessary for success. I guess its part of the 'founders' program to kiss .xxx ass?
