Verisign’s (VRSN) published the top 10 keywords in registered in .COM and .NET in September and with the help of Google who bought amazing publicity to the .XYZ extension with its acquisition of abc.xyz, the term XYZ was number 6 on the top 10 .com list.
In all 2356 .com domain names were registered that contained XYZ and here is the list of September .com registrations that contained XYZ
Curiously the domain name google-abcdefghijklmnopkrstuvwxyz.com was registered in September before it was revealed that Google acquired the domain name abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.com, and no Google did not register it.
The domain name google-abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.com is also now registered as well just a few days ago also not owned by Google
Here is the list:
I am wondering if they had a tummy ache when they had to put xyz on the list.
ouch!
That was a spill-over of Google’s xyz fever.
Here’s how many .COM domains were registered on September 16 containing the following keywords:
4017 … “online”
2095 … “tech”
1718 … “group”
35 … “xyz”
For every “xyz”, there were over 100 “online” .COMs.
“XYZ” spiked on September (1037 registrations) and September 29 (512 registrations). Other than those 2 dates, “XYZ” averaged 28.5 registrations per day, which is negligible in comparison to more popular keywords. But the weird spike caused “XYZ” to show up as “trending”.
Even on September 16, the day of the “XYZ” spike, those other 3 keywords each had more registrations in .COM.
And I pulled those 3 out of thin air. Other keywords might have seen higher volumes than those.
You have a K instead of a Q in both instance of:
abcdefghijklmnopkrstuvwxyz.com
