sedo accepts China traffic?Originally Posted by dwrixon
If you are new to domains and looking to buy, sell and learn about domains then you have come to the right place. DNForum is the largest domain name community on the internet and continues to grow every day. There are over 105,000 domainers on DNForum doing everything from buying domains, selling domains, learning about domains and discussing domains. Take a minute and Register.
Register Today on DNForum IT'S FREE!In last 24hrs we have picked up very substantial volumes of type-in traffic via sedo from China. Whilst we have noted huge increases in traffic on some conventional dot cn, the most significant phenomenon is very substantial amounts of type-in and good conversion on IDN dot com.
Anyone else noticed any changes, either at sedo or elsewhere?

sedo accepts China traffic?
If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts he shall end in certainties. Sir Francis Bacon
Last 24hrs we are getting loads of it. 100-200 uniques per day on some domains with good click conversion.
Don't know whether it will last, but it is definitely Consumer type-in rather than speculators. We have also proven that type-in traffic for IDN definitely exists for dot coms. Even if monetizing is going to remain problematic in the short-term, this is sufficient for me to conclude that future of IDN are assured.

That's great news for inder's Dave. Thanks for sharing.

Well as far as I am concerned it is proof that there is Traffic on IDN in China and substantial amounts of it. It didn't come from nowhere and it isn't going away. Within 10 years you won't see ASCII characters in the Far East! or indeed most of the rest of Asia!
As far as montization in the short-term, we are not through the woods yet, but the release of IE 7.0 should lead to rapid expansion in traffic growth. If the traffic is there someone will move to provide effective PPC services, as there will be a fat living in it for those that can make it work. My guess is Google will end up controlling the Lions share as elsewhere, but if they don't someone else will!
I think recent problems with sedo have been down to their status in PRC. I just hope they have got it sorted out properly this time and that this surge is not due to downtime on the Greatfire Wall.
