Tucows.com Does Adult

In  my dealings with Tucows last week I discovered that not only does Tucows own a lot of adult domains but they are monatizing them adding revenue from adult domains to their bottom line.

Although their is nothing wrong with a public company being involved in the adult business, there are several of these including Rick’s Cabaret (RICK) and Frontier Media (NOOF), it was suprising to find out that Tucows owned and was profiting from such names as  “pussyshop.com” and  “onlinepussystop.com” along with tons more.

I know that Marchex sold off the adult domains it received with Yung Yee portifilo a while back.

NameMedia.com in preparation for going public, sold off its adult names last year.

I believe the Oversee.net also, in hopes of going public one day, sold off many adult domains as well in the past year.

    Since Afternic doesn’t accept them (which I believe is a good thing), I’d be surprised to see Tucows adult drops being handled through them.

    Maybe they won’t drop them, just keep the ones that make money and let the ones that don’t drop.

    There is nothing wrong with adult domain names as long as the content on the domain name website does NOT contain child porn and people forced against their will to perforn adult “stuff”.

    Sex is part of reproduction within our Human world.

    Nothing wrong with adult.

    I Just think that shareholders of public company’s should have full knowledge and understanding of what they are investing in.
