With a population of 20,000 in Palau, you better have something damn good to offer them as the gTLD rebranding ain't gonna cut it.

If I had to choose between the two, .xxx would be a better long term investment, though getting out of the adult industry about 10 years ago when revenue went sour... I still would prefer the top 3 for that sector and get fetish (niche) names that can rank, cause neither of these will in the short-run.

Both are bad.

There are enough opportunities available, no need to take a chance on doomed extensions.

"Kat" translated what I was trying to say quite well

Both are bad.

besides, xxx was launched with Adult theme in mind, so the two are not really comparable.



better comparison would be: .ws versus .pw or .nu vs .pw or .cc vs .pw or .bz vs .pw


imo....

Biggie, you can't compare Professional Web with Web Site. That's like comparing apples and oranges as well. :lol:


Though I believe the OP was referring to which one is the better of the two for adult related content and I believe that in the long-run, it may be .XXX (as .pw has no chance, Professional Web Porn?). Though, the top 3 contenders would be .com, .net and .org for any adult related content (I ranked high in .org's and converted quite well with revshare eons ago... and still get random $100 checks every now and then... thinking to myself who has an account for 10 years?)

even if Op was thinking Adult content for the two extensions, .xxx will be just another slut when .adult .porn and .sex .launch

may as well wait, and invest in .cum

I can't wait til .cum is available lmfao..... :roll:

The thing with .adult, .porn and .sex is that while the owner of the .XXX version of that domain will receive priority in regging that same term in the other 3 exts, it won't even be discounted from what I understand, they'll have to pay the initial reg fees and I bet they're really high for adult extensions

:whip:

XXX has always been known as adult film rating, started in 1970's when pornographers added 3 xxx's to labels for highest hardcore porn,

and because icm registry creates tld for purpose of adult sites and lining pockets, the acronym is re-defined?

I don't think so.

it will always mean film rating, setting stage for new .sex tld coming soon.

I don't think franka's original Q meant to be which one is better for porn names (.PW or .XXX) ... I think he was just wondering which one would be a better investment regardless of what they're used for, ie .XXX or .PeeWee.....

And .XXX wins by half a mile lol (except if you're Pee Wee Herman and want a career revival of some sort...) Watch Blow :evil:, a real movie from 2001, with Johnny Depp btw... (Johnn the mod, you there bro ?.... your idol is in it.... lol...), it's fun and Pee Wee Herman gives a good slimy performance as a drug dealer, no one knew what he looked like in real life before then (he appears in it minus the pink Pee Wee costume)

I know .XXX domains haven't done well and are expensive to reg, and getting the same term in .porn, .sex and .adult can always help (you'll get priority when those come :eyebrows: ...if you already own the .XXX equivalent)

Why don't they just add .slut, .ass, .dikc .... or even rawer extensions for free for the .XXX owner ? that way any loss won't be that hard to swallow :smokin:...


And why do you think .XXX has been redefined by some for money reasons ? (that's what you meant, right ?) I haven't seen any .XXX names advertised as anything other than porn...

That's right.... I agree with both statements, good analysis in both by David :nod:

....If I had to choose between the two, .xxx would be a better long term investment, though getting out of the adult industry about 10 years ago when revenue went sour... I still would prefer the top 3 for that sector and get fetish (niche) names that can rank, cause neither of these will in the short-run

......the only thing is .... I never got the impression franka intended to ask about .pw for porn use, or that he was looking at it as an alternative for .xxx, I think he just wanted to know which extension had more potential since they're both new, but as biggedon wrote, he should not be comparing these particular two extensions at all..... (.pw vs .pro would be OK as both are professional....and .pw vs .tv would also be OK as they're both ccTLDs) .... if I'm wrong and he intended .pw for XXX purposes, why did he think .pw was even suitable for adult names in the 1st place....? it is not...lol :goofy:

Maybe he got the impression that PW stood for Peewee Wank (a parody, I must point out) and associated it with the adult industry then tried to compare it with .XXX. :lol:

What I meant is, XXX has lost it's original meaning since XXX was released, some of the posts here prove that, XXX does not mean content or porn, its a rating for content and porn.

Foolish tld nonetheless, i see more promise in .sex

I see a promising future in .cum as it's an adult twist on .com, plus it may rank and confuse people as well... :)

Like you said it was originally a movie rating by that industry (it was actually just "X" at the beginning) but XXX is now practically a term in its own used like in XXX readings, XXX sites, etc meaning it's porn/adult stuff rather than it's XXX-rated, they both go hand n hand tho.... but remember that XXX and even the term pornography have also been used in reference to extreme or gratuitous violence for example, in some specific forms of media......

.porn, .sex and .adult are all promising, I like all 4 inc .xxx, but companies that churn out porn material may prefer to stay .com and regging their names in these 4 new exts will be more a defensive action against copycats and to preserve their own brand and marketing power (note I didn't say "their brand integrity" lmfao....)

I don't think that many larger companies may do it in defense or at all if they allow keyword bidding on their CPA affiliate programs. This is a win-win for them. They would have a developer who develops out a domain, gets it ranked and gets more members without them investing more money into their already well-known and well-established website (although having to pay affiliates, this doesn't cut into their profit margin at all).
