DNF$: 252 Location: Halo Universe | here is a list of the top 10 dotasia auctions sex.asia $79,888 sexshop.asia $53,607 sushi.asia $22,500 cooking.asia $21,500 ace.asia $20,501 water.asia $19,388 promotion.asia $17,100 outdoor.asia $15,500 arts.asia $15,500 sales.asia $13,500 are domainers fueling the dotasia auctions? the more a domainer pays for a keyword dotasia, the less the potential profit margin when attempting to flip the domain.. or do you think there are actual end users participating? looks like all of the top dotasia auctions are english keywords.. hmm..

Country: | sushi.asia hmmmm ![]() I wouldn't be surprised to see a remake of the mobi frenzy with premium keywords being bought up by speculators while the end users limit themselves to defensive registrations on their name(s). IMHO the prices are very high and flipping looks next to impossible right now.

DNF$: 252 Location: Halo Universe | with the high prices that keywords are going for, the resellers had better have a solid game plan in regard to flipping (profiting from) their domains.. a lot of money is being spent of pure speculation on this point

| Platinum Lifetime Member | idiotdomainers.asia .. Domainers have such short memories (Read: Goldfish .. or flowers [dot] mobi) When you see the LLLLLLNNCC.org guys pumping and dumping their 'million dollar' domains run like your life depended on it .. because it will only EVER have value being flipped on this or other domain forums. You have a few bucks to play with? 1. Lobby ICANN with your own extension (.idiot is sure to do a BIG turnover) Oh .. those conferences they hold to decide whether your '.idiot' extension is even viable cost a shit load! 2. Play with the few bucks you have .. because you will soon be dead and ....... .idiot will be dead as well 3. Don't know what 'tongue in cheek means'? then don't read past here: Invest in .IDN for chrissake! |

Country: | Keep in mind that English is widely used in many Asian countries, India, Pakistan, Singapore, Malaysia, Sri lanka, The Philippines, Thailand, Hong Kong and a few others. Some countries teach English in the Schools. I'm NO investor of continent TLD's, that includes .asia. |

Country: | I did not factor in Overture results and did not mention Japanese. I was merely responding to how prevelant English is used in many Asian countries. I acknowledge the heavy use of 'Native Language Keyword.ccTLD', but dont think the same will apply to 'Native Language Keyword.Asia because the TLD is not that of a specific country. Maybe I'm wrong, but I dont see Thailander's entering fuut.asia as opposed to food.asia. fuut.asia is available BTW. |

Herein lies a few problems: 1: People from Asia do not regard themselves as 'Asian' .. as it were .. they are Chinese, Malaysian, Vietnamese etc way before they are 'Asian' 2: IF .asia was going to be a success then Thais are unlikely to be looking for fuut.asia .. more likely to be looking for อาหาร.asia (Sp?) .. would you agree? 3: English is prevalent insofar that you are likely to only see anything written about Asia in English (Unless you speak / are fluent in languages other than English) .. this does not represent the language that Asians are speaking / use or communicate in for business / everyday life etc .. be it in 'real life' or on the 'interweb' 4: 'Asians' have been forced to use ASCII domain names since the 'beginning of time' .. as it were.. because the 'godfathers' of the internet did not figure 'Asians' or people who use non-ASCII characters in their language into the equation .. thereby locking out the majority of humanity. Fortunately this is changing | |

Country: | its all fuel - but the same could be said for LLL.coms or LLLL.com's domainers make the market and break the market. I hope .asia makes it as it will shut some of the anti ( anything that does not end with .com ) brigade

DNF$: 252 Location: Halo Universe | here is some food for thought.. I was watching the scrolling ending and ended auctions on dotasia.pool.com and several of the english keyword dot asia's are available in the .jp (japan) extension isn't that scary for those investing thousands in english dot asia domains..

Country: | Domainers do not make the market for LLL .com's. While it's true that domainers add a lot of liquidity to the market for these domains, the fact remains that they are in short supply due to limited numbers and that increases their demand. If an end user wants to buy one from a domainer or from a previous owner, they are going to pay market rates due to scarcity (unless they get lucky). The same could be said for generic product/service .com's. It could also possibly be said in the future for some gem .asia's, but not yet, and there is no guarantee. That is a big difference. |

okay they dont make the market for LLL.coms's but do make the markey for a lot of movement for extensions - dont jump on me before you made a comment on all my post - LLLL.coms, biggest emporers new clothes i have witnessed. I am amazed now that the asia threads have now been woke up now - could it be that there is real competition in the landrush auctions and the prices are very nice indeed - congrats to everyone that managed to snap up some domains previous to the multiple landrush auctions - bet theres a few sad faces that choose not to jump on the bandwagon ![]() Quote:
