I've been watching this one. It was at #10 a week and a half ago. Then #8 last week. Now it's at #6. How long before it reaches #1?

Surprised and relieved not to see any (dot)info's in the top ten list..

info = 6.8% bad (score 0.65)

What else can we expect when the registry shows the way

And 1st place for the one of primary .TOP-registrars Alpnames: https://www.spamhaus.org/statistics/registrars/

.top just reached #3 today. This is a new (low) milestone for .top.

also fast closing in on that #2 spot

gaining on that #1 spot

Looks like .gdn is working hard to get up there as well.

.top continues moving up the charts for most spammy extension.. a few days ago its badness index was 5.34.. now it's currently 6.64. Will .top replace .download by the end of July?

On a sidenote, .gdn is now at #3. That was also a very rapid rise.

So .top will finally be .top at something. That's nice.

Regards...jmcc

26 July 2016 update.. getting closer to the milestone.

.download Badness Index: 7.97
.top Badness Index: 7.24

While .top moves closer and closer to the top, it also looks like .uno is beginning the journey to spot numero uno--but can it top .top?

.WIN: the other best seller
.WIN = 31.1% bad (score 2.92)
.TOP = 60.6% bad (Score 7.24)
.TOP win

.top

Domains seen: 431,028
Bad domains: 221,331 (51.3%)

Can you imagine? I mean, think about that for a minute. Over HALF of the e-mail from .Top domains were shown to be "bad" and nothing but spam. 221,331 domains at least.

who is the first spam master ?

regards,

ps: saw it, o.k..°° download

very good point Kate about the webforms.

as for .top and spam rate.. I think a .best would blow it away

 

[brandnow]

I think that highlights the problems with giving away domains below 1$. It's like doing a deal with the devil. Your registration count will increase faster than any other TLD but your brand and reputation might take a hit that will be difficult to recover from even when you are #1. .xyz have the same problems.

Once you are perceived as a spam extension and get blocked the game is over. Hope they manage to avoid this.

I do not think that is a necessary completely true fact. Look at .xyz (which is even more affordable) compared to .top

xyz = 8.4% bad (score 0.93)
com = 6.2% bad (score 0.76)

top = 43.1% bad (score 5.36)

Spammers clearly prefer .top!

 

[brandnow]

Just thought I'd post this:
us = 18.9% bad (score 1.83)
xyz = 8.2% bad (score 0.91)

yep, .xyz is actually looking pretty good now.

 

[brandnow]

gaining on that #1 spot

 

[brandnow]

Iooks like .top is fighting to be at the .bottom

LOL

 

[brandnow]

.top will likely pass .download in the next week or so to claim it's crown as a king of the spam charts

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

.uno is stable there a few months already... no any significant changes...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

And .uno has just 22K+ domains as of today.
