Re: Lumps of gold as big as bowling balls, just lying around...

I guess they accept everything.
I have Arabic names parked there. A few hits per day but very few clicks if any. Let's hope the situation improves in 2006.

Sure I can reg terms like "undulated" and "dubiously" or I can get "Newspaper" or "jobs" in chinese and japanese. Which ones have the potential for a bigger future?

Re: Lumps of gold as big as bowling balls, just lying around...

How do you even type a japanese or chinese character
with your keyboard?? I've gone as far as the IDN domain
page but can't even search a word, because I can't type
it. Can someone point me in the right direction here?

Re: Lumps of gold as big as bowling balls, just lying around...

you start with translation engines, you check them with SE/overture scores and as many external sources as you can, checking it with peers is an option of course but that's after the fact.

Easiest- You can use free translators on the internet, but check twice and then best of all check with native speaker. Then you can "cut and paste" the foreign script and check availability with the registrar. Lots of IDNers are using domainsite.com.

BEWARE- there are all kinds of nuances with foreign language registration. Its pretty easy once you know the rules. It varies from no accents allowed, to only entering ALL lower case etc. Most that have gotten in have made these mistakes, and often they will reg you right or wrong. If you have a language in mind you want to start in pm me and I will help with the resources and basics, or put you over to one of the old pros who will be glad to help. The IDN community is generous to share knowledge for the most part. It's addicting once you get in...likened to a treasure hunt! Good luck.

Re: Lumps of gold as big as bowling balls, just lying around...

Just to show how wide open this new frontier still is, I picked up 72 .com periodic table elements in Russian about 5 minutes ago, including hydrogen, aluminium, lead and many other commercially significant ones.

To find these, I applied a bit of lateral thinking:-
1. Look up "periodic table" in Russian
2. Look through the first few pages of Google results returned by searching on it
3. Cut and paste the table of elements, clean it up (remove abbreviations, make everything lowercase with excel's lower() function)
4. Run the resulting list through Whois

Re: Lumps of gold as big as bowling balls, just lying around...

Funny, I am letting several .org (non IDN) element domains drop.

Many idn.com are better than most non-idn.org of the same OVT (worldwide). An idn .com is a .com when a person uses IE7.

Re: Lumps of gold as big as bowling balls, just lying around...

If you think that Russians will be typing in "aluminium" in russian with a ".com" at the end, that's a novel approach. Maybe, after consuming a bit of vodka they will type in the ".ru" equivalent.

My point was that the category chosen for this example - elements - is rather poor to justify the registration of such (worthless) IDN names.

I have to agree
i would see some value in IDN-s in country tld-s, but .com , .net?? That will not happen. The only people who type in .com are in US.

They already are. I get consistent traffic on many russian idns. There is nothing to argue here except it does already happen.

Re: Lumps of gold as big as bowling balls, just lying around...

Who is going to search by adding .com or .net or .ru??

I am going to search with just key words such as "Cheap Hotels" or "Cruise Discounts" or "Gold Jewelry", (not cheaphotels.com) its just like English internet....only in "their" language. No one will search with the .com or .net unless they already know of that site, then they will just put that in their browser. Good websites, SEO, links, and advertising will bring your site to the top of the search engine, just like "ours"!

Around the world 80% percent plus of the people don't speak any English....this whole IDN concept is for them! If they can read, they might even be able to remember a site.....ie vacation.com, now just translate that into any native script. It's already catching on...I have seen pictures of Japanese subway cars full of IDN website advertisements. The future is here...although will take some time to fully roll out...maybe a few years even.

Also- The public release of IE7, for Beta 2 (testing) by those interested was yesterday.

There was a sea of prime generic >100% ROI names much of last year with the miniscule FF type-in traffic. They're scarce now. IE7 will supercharge the ROI.

To boost type-in traffic further, ICANN is adopting .IDN in native characters which will map to the TLDs like .com, .net, .jp, .ru, .cn and so forth. In other words, users will type in .ком which will map to .com and vice versa.

I guess part of the game was taking the risk in anticipation of this.

Edit: For the skeptics. Russian IDN local type-in traffic

You can register .com/.net/.tv/.cn domains on Dynadot.
Once you register i.e 今天.cn you are the only one entitled to 今天.中国 and 今天.中國

Whois is showing all variations you are getting with your registration.

Same for idn .com
