NOTE: We have now gotten confirmation from ICM that the price paid for Mobile.XXX was $160,000, the 350 other domains acquired by the buyers were separate and apart from the $160,000 Paid.
The story has now been updated to reflect this information.
SexGoesMobile has acquired the domain name Mobile.xxx for $160,000 from ICM Registry the operator of the .XXX domain name TLD.
Mobile.XXX will provide live cams, video and dating in 10 languages.
ICM Registry said that of the last 5 million visits to its Search.xxx search engine, 18% were from mobile devices, providing a solid foundation for the space.
“The growth in consuming online adult entertainment from mobile devices has been extraordinary, and this project to develop an exceptional domain will allow us to create a site that will capture the ever increasing opportunities in the .XXX world,” said Andy Wullmer, CEO of SGM Media. “Search engines such as Google are de-ranking adult related results to filter out content.
“Aligning with ICM’s search engine Search.xxx is helping us meet the consumer’s demand for simple, efficient ways to find and enjoy online adult content on mobile devices.”
Mobile is becoming more important for everything – make sure you have a mobile strategy for your domains and sites!
That is good stuff – and a great term for .xxx – that can be branded
What did they pay for the other 350 names? Or were they normal reg fee?
