Well the Adult Market in Japan on Dot TV seems to be well established and excepted , Im not sure what the facination of the ext with porn is but it is what it is , So there for i would say it Depends on the name

If .com, .net, and .jp are gone, it will benefit your 'name' to score high on "relevance" factors for search engines. I am not that comfortable with the "acceptance" level of that extension for endusers on many words, just my opinion.

If keywords and .tv so match , I think tv is better than .com or .net.

I have a feeling those that voted not till hell freezes over must not have done any .TV research in the japanese market place , if they are already being used in abundance on the Adult side of things it would obviously make sense to vote it depends on the keyword

Not really, I voted "Not until Hell freezes over". Rational is that if IDN.com is a runaway success, I do not need to, and if it isn't, I don't want to. Good luck to you guys with the dot TVs, because if they work the guys with the dot coms or dot jps are going to end even more rich than they had ever imagined.

Well yes and no. If you look closely, you will see that I have ventured where the brave dare not tread!

Actually, that isn't true. You were there first with Moscow.TV

Do you mean Russian .tv or real estate .tv?

квартир.tv - apartments.tv
недвижимости.tv - realestate.tv
гостиница.tv - hotel.tv

All these look very good.

I thought I was first into Russian.TV market but you got there first.

Actually in many ways it is probably more promising that elsewhere. телевизор
is what they call a TV set and ТВ is a well recognised abbreviation, which of course Mulligan had already worked out anyway! He has ТВ.ТВ

I was far from the first in Russian.tv. If I was I would have picked up sex, porno, sports, news, and Russia.

.tv is just a different animal than .com and .net. Ovt doesn't discriminate against TLDs so with just a little bit of development traffic can be quite good. That said I think a measured approach with terms that obviously fit the extension is the key.
