Porn.com buys Porn.pt
A press release via the AVN media network has just confirmed that the owner of Porn.com has just bought the domain Porn.pt – which they have called ” The most significant adult content domain in Portugal”, The owner of Porn.com made headlines back in 2007 when he bought the domain for $9,500,000 US Dollars.
The full press release is below the price of the domain hasn’t been confirmed and looking into this I am unsure if was domain name sale or website sale but it does make you wonder how important cctlds are in growing your .com business?
Doing a whois show the domain was only created back in 5th of March 2012?
The owner obviously felt he was losing or going to lose potential traffic to this domain in this cctld but I am unsure how much he was actually losing as the domain Porn.pt according to Alexa only has a Traffic Rank of 9,205,187 and 1 site linking into it.
I just don’t know why the owner has bought this cctld and had a press release done – The site now redirects to Porn.com
If you use google.pt – porn.pt doesn’t even show in the rankings but top is pt.pornhub.com is the number one ranking – Surely the owner could have done the same thing and setup a sub domain.
