Top 10 Trending Keywords in .COM and .NET Registrations for January

Verisign has released their Top 10 Trending .COM and .NET English Keywords for January 2018. These are the most popular registration keywords used during the month, and can give us an inside view of the hottest trends, news, styles, events, and even people, as it applies to registered .COM and .NET domain names.

In last month’s keyword list, the Versign blog was loaded with a wide range of CryptoCoin terms like BLOCK, CHAIN, BLOCKCHAIN, RIPPLE, and ALTCOIN, but after the market meltdown of digital currencies, these have totally disappeared.

On the .COM side, these have been replaced by more standard terms like NEAR, CELL, DISPENSARY, STEM, CLAIM, and CENTERS. The anti-CryptoCoin shift has been both drastic and total, and some other .COM keywords of potential interest include NANO, CANE and HOLE.

Strangely, there is absolutely no cross pollination between the .COM and .NET lists, and the .NET keyword selection continues to be more diverse. Some notable top keywords are ASSOCIATION, THERAPY, CAREER, and PLANS. The word MARIJUANA also figures in, and can be linked back to the DISPENSARY keyword found in the .COM list. There is also a series of short words popping up at the end, such as AWAY, BANG, BEING, and HOP.
