| Re: Far East Claims half of Alexa Top Ten
Let's talk about who consistantly makes larger online purchases. And, what percentage of the far eastern users even have a credit card, or line of credit. This type of info would give your point more relevancy. Traffic is important only if it's monetizable traffic in my opinion.
The bottom line is that domains are a tool to get at users who are ready, willing and able to make a purchase. If the users that visit your domain have no means to make a purchase, then their market still is of little consequence.
I'm not saying that ecommerce isn't big in the Far East, but rather that even with huge numbers of users the number of transactions dollar for dollar or pound for pound, etc., just doesn't cut it yet and probably won't for quite some time.
If you could give me some data to change my train of thought, I'd appreciate it. |
