discuss Google to Ban Cryptocurrency Ads-Thoughts on Domains As Result?

[BMWMotoRider]

Google said yesterday it will ban ads related to Cryptocurrency in June 2018.

How do you see this affecting the value of Crypto-related domains-Positively or Negatively?

Seems to me that organic search will be even more important to Crypto-related businesses-thus, making descriptive key-word domain names in this space more valuable.

Thanks

It's a ban on the Google ad platform. Not a ban on search results.

crypto were beyond google grasp and threatening their hegemony, i will not surprise even if google also excluding crypto/ico from their search result LOL

It's a ban on the Google ad platform. Not a ban on search results.

And whats the difference?

And whats the difference?

search result mean organic traffic while ad platform (adwords) mean paid traffic

 

[domeen]

search result mean organic traffic while ad platform (adwords) mean paid traffic

I know that, but a BAN is still a BAN. Even if for only paid search.

This is a result of the Davos meeting. Crypto is under attack! A few weeks ago - immediately after the Davos meeting Facebook already banned crypto ads. The war against crypto will intensify in 2018.

It doesn't change anything. Facebook has done the same thing

wait and see, if the major government start to act it might quite depressing for crypto and all of their exchanger services

No govt or company can ban crypto. They will need to accept it eventually.

World is big enough. There will be always some smart country will do business with crypto.

Too late.

And I think online forums, review, chat etc. are equal or more effective. Users usually not bother much with unknown ads but online discussions keep them familiar. Example this forums created millions of visitors for Namebio, Estibot etc.

And whats the difference?

the difference is you will still search for it in google engine.

which is the most important thing which they'll never ban.

This is extremely significant negative news and may cause all crypto/bitcoin domain names to quickly drop-off the cliff in value, especially for anyone holding a multi-million dollar name like crypto.com, or with an incredibly high 400k offer (that was said to be declined) on a dubious value name like crypto.info.

This action by google reminds me of negatives involving google which made EMD/Keyword domains decline greatly in popularity and value over the past few years,

Lot of long keyword domains are ridiculous. Any search engine will not tolerate keywords domain without any related text/pages.

But do you really think sex.com lost value because Google adult ad policy?

 

[Galaxy Traveller]

Instead proper keyword and short domains will increase value because now it is extremely important to obtain a short and memorable name due to online/offline sharing.
