Google: .XXX Will Be Treated Like Any Other Top-Level Domain

Best news I have heard in awhile

All hail lord Google.

If you are against .xxx how is this good news?

google gods have spoken.

My main concern with google and .3x's is that I was concerned that they would give preferential treatment towards those sites with the 3 x's ext. it is nice to see the playing ground wont be tilted in favor of any particular TLD

Most were worried they wouldn't show them in a regular index, why on earth would they give preferential treatment?

No matter what happens, it will piss someone off. lol

lol who thought google would give it preferential treatment. i think xxx is stupid but you people are ridiculous.

suffice it to say that I dont think it is much of a stretch to picture Lawley or his lackeys wooing Google with piles of cash for preferential treatment for those that lease their domains from ICM... especially if they were allowed to make a statement about such an agreement publicly.

For now.

A few million dollars later can change things.

google lies just as bad as icm about their business practices and is just as cutthroat so take with a grain of salt.

Boycott Google. If we all use Yahoo search we can make a point.

i still use hotbot

me too and infoseek and lycos (was so easy to score there hehehehehehe)

FUCK .XXX

DON'T HELP ON CREATING A GHETTO !!!!!!!!!

Well it was obvious how this will occur,same as xxx wont be mandatory ever,otherwise they wouldn't concentrate so hard on extorting mainstream audience.

Well i hope you're right ! About the Search engines, reminds me of all the .info .mobi etc... Names that were bought and none showing up on the first page of any search results. It's only .com names (almost) So G (for instance) does favor .com names. Not ALL tlds.

So i guess it's good news regarding SE traffic but that's not what i'm afraid of !

it's because people who are going to spend money / effort on ranking do it with the .com not .mobi.

So they will not put priority on .xxx for porn queries.

This is one of the things I was not concerned about. G just doesn't work that way.

Never has. Never will.

There is a small exception in community serving extensions. For example:

Search

Red Cross = RedCross.org
Standford University = Stanford.edu
Cedars Sinai Hospital = CedarsSinai.edu
Us Army = Army.mil
The White House = WhiteHouse.gov

Etc. Etc.

since google prioritizes mainstream results over adult results for a given term wouldn't they be less likely to have a url with .xxx as a result.
probably only show .xxx term if the search term was unquestionable adult related.
example - if someone searches for 'casting', no way google would list 'casting.xxx'

this is just normal

What He Said... :pimp

Google said the same identical thing back in the day when ICANN OK'd the .biz tld and the again with other tld's that never took off even with extensive seo'ing.
However it is not important what Google spokesmen say, it's how the system treats it.
After that the largest .xxx sites are out and have started their SEO process, then we can actually see how Mr.G. will treat the situation, I wouldn't start sucking each others dicks quiet yet and on the other hand the .xxx domain owners that will put effort, time and money into a optimization process will be doing it in the pitch black.

You think a few million is enough to influence Google? :1orglaugh

Haha at thinking big sites have much of an SEO process. Existing and being popular is their SEO process.

Everyone should already know this.

That is one of the saddest articles I have read in awhile. Great 'reporting' jezz, I coulda emailed google public relations and asked a stupid question too and gotten a stupid answer.

i would also think country speicific domains like .co.uk help for google local results. on www.google.co.uk

:1orglaugh

Google has their results all edited by people, so the .xxx domains will all be easily flagged as porn so for non clear porn results they will never show up, as they shouldn't.

sounds like .com > all still

obviously you're clueless

Says seodevs &AT google mail. :1orglaugh

What about Alta Vista? I have several top spots in Alta Vista!! Go Alta Vista. and Ask

AV will crush them all! When time comes I will be ready, oh yes I will!! :pimp
