Yes encouraging people to navigate in the their own language seems to be threatening to Corporate America who have gone out their way to ensure that the Chinese and Japanese cannot navigate in anything vaguely intelligible. Dangerous it must be to allow people to see domains in a familiar script. I would like to make those bastards who blame phishing on IDN navigate in Chinese for all eternity. IDN exist in all the extensions you are rattling on about. I wouldn't spend anything on dot Info or dot Org. Most of my IDN are dot Coms. Quote:
You might think so, but I think you would be a little shocked at some of the IQs kicking around this joint! Quote:
Yes, and funny last time I checked that wasn't an IDN site, either. If you want to blend in China, I afraid an IDN is going to make you much more welcomed in the near future.

Country: | Re: IDN's dropping like flies If you guys look in this thread, I have already said that at one time I thought about buying IDNs but soon I came to my senses and said to myself.....no way. Plus you can call me noob but I have been buying domains since 1998 and that too in large numbers. All I am saying is that there are some good IDNs and those were taken a long ago.......and IDNs do not have a solid advertiser base yet so you won't see much earnings for many more years.....so are you going to keep renewing those IDNs until then and adding up the out-of-pocket costs? Well RD has been promoting himself as an IDN King for quite some time now and he is the one who started calling regular domainers carzy (you can see so many threads to this effect)......I am ok with all his shameless self-promotion but he must not mislead newbies......its unethical and immoral. Buy IDNs but use your own brain don't listen to the duck imo. Thanks. |

Please show us examples how there is a lack of Japanese advertisers. For just about every commerical keyword I've queried it shows that there is tons of competition for the keyword. Wow, do some research before you post. | |

If you actually go to the Main IDN Forums you will see that those involved are not naive cretins as you would like to portray but are people who have done extensive research and analysis. It is a different market and many of us are later-comers to the domaining game. That doesn't make any of us naive or stupid. We have analysed the market, and found that it is highly skewed towards North America, where buyiing dot Coms in particularly has become a herd activity. As you rightly indicate those that lead stampedes stand to make a lot more money than those that follow. Joining the ASCII dot Com stampede at this stage of the game has to be pure folly as with 50 Million name registered, and tens of thousands of speculators, how much value can there really be left? With IDN the stampede has not really started. There is certainly much scope for picking up very valuable registrations cheaply. The fools will be seen to be those that sniffed and turned up their noses. From what you are saying, you are likely to be one.

Country: | Re: IDN's dropping like flies There are native Japanese and Chinese people on the board collecting IDNs. They live in their respective nation and they see the use for them. Not only .com now but even finding IDN .jp now is pretty tough. |

DNF$: 2,709 Location: Birmingham | Re: IDN's dropping like flies Seems to me that there is a bit of disagreement as to the potential value and demand for IDNs. The Internet is still a relatively new invention. Before 1995, most people had no idea that domain names could be so valuable. Having the opportunity to register some of the most valuable ASCII .com domains (mostly before 1997) was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Could IDNs be another such opportunity? If so, that opportunity has recently passed (for most of the best domains) - at least for being able to acquire them at the original registration cost. I certainly can't predict how popular or valuable IDNs will be, but I'd hate to miss out on another "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," and, in my opinion, IDNs are (or were) a good bet, for the money. I can't wait to see the comments, between the domainers in this thread, in another 12 to 24 months. |

Lets not bash any type of domains. After all we are all domainers. I hope you all make lot of money in your IDNs. May be I will buy some in future from secondary market when I am convinced about IDNs. Thanks. Last edited by rickkumar; 11-17-2006 at 11:53 PM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost | |

DNF$: 2,709 Location: Birmingham | Re: IDN's dropping like flies Sometimes, I think it's because they desperately don't want to wake up one day (in the near future) and realize that they have just missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, that was right under their nose, within their own field of work, investment and interest. |

Do you people expect flowers.mobi to earn money to earn back it's $200k? And you people expect to be able to buy flowers.com in Japanese for just $xxx? Have you ppl read about how the domain king paid $xx,xxx for names back then in 1996? And how much he had earned from PPC and affliate programs from those names until today. Do you ppl have the same guts and intuition? IDNs are for people with guts. Speculators without balls can wait for a few years for IDNs to take off, and then scrape for 2 or 3 worded junk drops or LLLL, NNNN, NLL, and other collectables, flip for a few hundred dollars each, hoping that Sedo PPC can help pay at least 20% of your reg fees, moaning away when Sedo or Google eats into your miniscule PPC profits, like what you are doing right now! NNNN, LLLL? .info, .biz, .mobi. I can't even name a single .info, .biz site that i visit - can anyone please name me one??? Typos? Legislation will kill that in no time, so earn while you can! Me, i want to be out of the domain hype, that's why i am into IDNs. IDNs gives you a chance to hedge yourself on something valuable in the future, something which your kids can inherit, like a house, and survive hypes and crashes.

allergies.com in Arabic genius.com in Russian laser.com in Persian bachelor.com in Hebrew watch.com in Greek (timepiece) watch.net in Brazilian/Portuguese gossip.com in Turkish fun.com in Persian tires.net in Spanish tractor.com in Thai For a bit over $60 some good upside potential. These could be easily flipped for anywhere from $25 and up each in todays market (and a few of these would bring xxx), so risk is pretty low if you ever want to sell. But upside is huge as international domains begin to come into mainstream use. | |

| Platinum Lifetime Member | Re: IDN's dropping like flies The thing is that anything that is likely to get dropped can be picked up in the secondary market for less than the minimum bid at Snapnames. Domains drop all the time for various reasons, including owners dropping dead. IDN are no exception to that. There are that many decent names dropping and those that are generally fiercely fought over, although there is a bit of corroborative tendering going on as well. I it is still going to be a couple of months in many cases before traffic starts to really rise rapidly, but it is being monitored intensely. I have it on good authority that some IDNers are already getting excellent Uniques (around 1000 a day) for Porn Site based on IDN Domains. There is enough evidence to give a high level of confidence that IDN will deliver on the promise. It is just a question of how long we have to wait for pay day. I am not saying Rick was wrong to buy flowers. mobi, but I think he could have bought 20 or 30 IDN for the same price, that ultimately would be worth at least as much each.

As a fierce competitor myself for buying drops on Snap I can tell you that most of them do go for $60 and above. The market definitely is changing its ways from months ago. Traffic is definitely a factor in why many people are looking on snap for some nice deals. In regards to stuff being picked up for less than snap. It will depend on the language. Japanese names dropping will be most likely noticed and bid on. The chances of you hand regging vs snap is slim. | |

When Acroplex suggests that IDN are dropping like flies, he obviously hasn't tried to drop one, otherwise he would know what he was talking about.
