ICM Announces the Sale of Mobile.xxx

Palm Beach Gardens, FL – With the increasing growth of accessibility to adult entertainment on hand held devices, one of the most valuable, industry-specific and targeted domain names has been acquired by European mobile experts SGM Media GmbH, the “SexGoesMobile” company.
 

The announcement from ICM Registry, the operators of the .XXX top-level domain, highlighted Bremen, Germany-based SGM Media’s commitment to invest significant time and resources into developing Mobile.xxx into a destination for accessing adult entertainment. Mobile.xxx, which SGM acquired for $160,000, will provide live cams, video, and dating in 10 languages, among other adult-oriented content. The site will be dedicated to providing the first all-encompassing .XXX destination for mobile devices.
 

Mobile.xxx owner, SGM Media, has also acquired 350 additional .xxx domains for its affiliate network.
 

Of the last 5 million visits to ICM Registry’s Search.xxx search engine, 18% were from mobile devices and “mobile” is proving to be an increasing popular search term.
 

“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.”
 

Steve Winyard, Vice President of ICM Registry said the work the company is doing with SGM is a significant indicator of the rapid and continual growth of mobile devices. Winyard said SGM is now part of an increasing number of major names in the adult industry that are adopting .XXX.
 

“SGM Media is one of the leading mobile companies in the world and their recognition of .XXX shows the global acceptance, popularity, reputation, and potential of the .XXX domain. We will work closely with them on this project to help build a groundswell of attention among appropriate audience.” Winyard said.
