Verisign Launches New Monthly Blog Series: Top 10 Keywords Registered in .com and .net
We have shown in the past that there is a correlation between domain name registrations and newsworthy and popular events, as well as anticipated trends. In 2014, we looked at Bitcoin as an example of how domain registrations could be an effective gauge of interest in a particular subject. Previously, we showed how domain buyers reacted to the U.S. government shutdown and how royal baby fever was reflected by domain registrations when Prince George was born in mid-2013 to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
With more than 220 million domain names registered globally, there are numerous examples of trends reflected by domain name registrations. In an effort to better illustrate .com and .net domain registration trends, Verisign is launching a new monthly blog post series that will identify the top 10 trending .com and .net keywords registered in English; our own zeitgeist of trending domain topics. The keywords from the preceding month will be published on the second Tuesday of each month on the Verisign blog.
Domain Registrations: Is Bitcoin Going Mainstream?
Earlier this year we used Bitcoin as an example of how domain registrations could be an effective gauge of interest in a particular subject. Our analysis demonstrated a clear rise in the number of registered .com and .net domain names containing the term “Bitcoin” in 2013, as well as a positive correlation between increased registration activity and increases in the dollar value of bitcoin.
In this post, we decided to take a look at the history of Bitcoin-related domain registration activity since 2009 to see if we noticed any other trends.
Interest in Bitcoin Reflected by Domain Registrations
Bitcoin, the crypto-currency that has captured the imaginations of technologists and economists around the world, has received a considerable amount of attention over the past couple of weeks.
Recently we have seen how domain name registrations tend to surge in the immediate aftermath of global phenomena. The rise of Bitcoin also presents an opportunity to track global interest and investment by way of .com and.net domain name registrations.
Domain Buyers React to Government Shutdown
The world is abuzz with news of the United States government shutting down as of Oct., 1 2013. As we have seen with previous major news events there was a notable increase in domain name activity that seems to be correlated.
Royal Baby Fever Hits Domain Registrations
Domain name buyers are often among the first to react to huge international news events. We documented this earlier in the year by highlighting a notable surge in domain names related to the announcement of a new Pope.
The news this week about the birth of the new Prince of Cambridge to William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, is no exception. The Domains observed there has been a surge in royal baby related domain name registrations since the birth announcement was made.
