Dynamic DNS: adult vs. other industries.

Damn Spam! has shown a good example of a fact broadly known to a SEO guys/girls but not for the others.

It looks like dynamic dns (aka dyndns) services usage in adult industry is much wider than for any other industry. The adult seo is the most old and professional part of seo. Dynamic DNS costs money (actual price is very cheap but still) - that prevents beginners/kids from using it. At the same time dyndns are kinda bullet-proof solution for a black hat seo, they are either don't respond to abuses at all or do that extemely slow.

*.dynu.net (mentioned by DamnSpam!) comes from www.dynu.com - classical dyndns service (that one does resolve and has http server).

Actually, dyndns providers are pretty gung ho about terminating services used by spammers. At least those who know what they're doing.

AFAIK the price (either direct money or time) needed to become dyndns provider is much less than for a registrant case. And so they don't fear so much to lose money due to not properly reacting to abuses. You (I gues it was you :) have already wrote a post about what I call bullet-proof registrant business. AFAIK situation in dydnds case is worse. I think due to the reasons I outlined above. Of course my experience is limited and I could be wrong when I speak about general picture. And of course there are dyndns providers reacting properly. But the reasons at the beginning of my comment (to be worse than for registrants) will remain.
