Search.xxx

so how does this really benefit xxx domain owners if you are also adding their current .com domains and content for your so-called portals?

can you give some additional info on these portals please? what will it do? Is it a search engine? Where does it link to? Are you going to hire the google guys to develop your own search engine logarithm or how will the search results be established? Can xxx domain holders buy advertising or links on the portal?

ONE of the portals will be a search engine (www.search.xxx). It will crawl and index adult sites from ALL TLD's. No one knows Google's exact algorithms of course, but our search engine will have integrated algorithms like Google and will behave in a similar manner. We've had a team of seven developers working on this for most of 2011 and it will be a fully featured offering, producing organic results as well as displaying paid ads much like Google and Yahoo.

Some of the Category killer keywords we have reserved will be used to generate type in traffic for the search.xxx porrtal together with a substantial consumer awareness marketing campaign. Additionally, there will be other TRAFFIC portals together with RESOURCE portals to help industry members and newcomers, content services/providers, hosting services, etc. will be able to be advertised and promoted on these sites.

right...
so instead of acting as the registrar of the xxx tld only, you are also developing your own adult websites with a for-profit strategy (selling ads) and therefore you choose to directly compete with your (potential) customers. To name an example; http://www.askjolene.com/

I really can't believe people ignore these facts who are still pro xxx and that ICM Registry keeps pretending they are here to help the industry

Please god dont base the ranks on the amount of backlinks.
We dont need another top 10 of manwin sites no matter what niche.

Thanks.

well if you would base them on traffic you pretty much get the same list.

so you would prefer if they manipulate the list so their paid sponsors get higher rankings instead?
