Let me tell you about a guy named Steve. Steve had an affiliate program and he had people doing this to him. His program was wildly popular. He made a lot of money. The top results for one of his main girls liked like this :
Her name. In
Her name. Net
Her name. Com
Her name. Affiliate. Com
Her name. Biz
Her name. Affiliate. Com
Her name. Us
Her name. Affiliate. Com
Tube. Com /her stolen video
And this meant Steve made money on her name. He was protected in a way by those affiliates.
One day Steve had this wild idea. What if he forced the affiliates with his models name in the TLD to give him the names and he redirected to his. Com? He'd make a lot of money right? Yes. He did for a year. Now the results for this model are :
Tube. Com /her stolen video
Tube. Com /her stolen video
Tube. Com /her stolen video
Her name. Com
Tube. Com /her stolen video
Tube. Com /her stolen video
Tube. Com /her stolen video
Tube. Com /her stolen video
And now everyone sees that they don't need a membership because stolen videos make up the top results. Now he makes nothing compared to what he used to make. Those affiliates that were protecting his top ten results so he always got a piece of the pie aren't there anymore.
Think of it as having a piece of somebody else's work and not them stealing. Because the reality is they can't just buy the alternate TLD and be #2. They have to work to beat the tubes. For your sake. Also, if not tubes, if you don't have video, file lockers and torrents of your entire site rips.
