nice domain, I think it is a very good domain for us , who are not Western people
In my thought, 3333.com and 333.net are almost equal. IF I had to choose one, I would go to 3333.com.

Good luck(how much did you pay for it? PM me if ok to you)

 

[toho]

I've wondered about this for several years: I have a name, "2088.com" which regularly gets between 16,000 to 24,000 Chinese language hits per month (yes, per month). But almost no English language traffic.

Many other 3 or 4-digit names are registered to people with addresses in China or Korea.

Why is that?

3333.com better than 333.net

I agree I've noticed a ton of asian sites running from non-sensical 4 letter domain names. I dont know why, apparantly they think its easier to remember & type in a 4 random letters/numbers than a longer name that makes sense. I think this theory is plausible since chinese characters dont exactly translate well to western characters, therefore, to non-western speaking chinese, it _is_ much easier to remember 4 random characters & numbers rather than some longer word which is even more confusing... anyways, thats just my best guess!

PS. If you guage by what other similar domains are taken, 3333.com is great! All similar combinations on all major TLD's are taken. Of course I'm not sure how many of those are speculators and which are real sites.

FYI. For anyone who is interested...The following are the only 4 repeating letter/number combinations under the typical extensions. (no .com's or .net's)

ZZZZ.BIZ
UUUU.BIZ
SSSS.INFO
QQQQ.BIZ
OOOO.BIZ
MMMM.BIZ
LLLL.BIZ
JJJJ.BIZ
GGGG.BIZ

Right, your guess is correct mostlyk:

 

[toho]

Thanks many coment.

Yes. Asian likes numbers.

Chinese traffic can not earn money PPC program.
But increase traffic much more than 1 year ago such as number domains from China.

Also I got many offer my 3 digit .com during this 3 month. (Ex: 898.com, 282.com...)
Especially from Hong Kong.

I didn't realise that there are that much domain collectors in Hong Kong, as i received no bid when i put my domains up for sale in some local auction sites (or may be ... my names sucks ...)

mogtnomr is correct. Since English is at best a second language in many Asian countries like China, many people there are not particularly good or fluent in the language. Automobiles.com for instance is NOT a good, generic one-worder to them. On the other hand, numbers are often used to substitue words. For example, the number 3 is widely used as an abbreviation for "delete" (because of the similarity in pronunciation). As a result, number domains are more popular: e.g. 163.net is a VERY large portal website.

Hi, Unregistered.

Some Hong Kong company bought 2 digit .com at the same time last year. Example: 84.com ,Before DotComway own (FR)
It looks they own 7 or 8 pcs.

I do not know well. But all the number has meaning in China. (8 is best)

 

[Anthony Ng]

Oops! Back to topic: "3" sounds close to "life" or "lively" in Chinese, so if you could go for the Chinese market, you would probably get a good end-user price. Good luck.

 

[Unregistered]

2, 3, 6, 8 are good for Chinese
4 no good, which means "dead"

 

[toho]

Yeah, nameslave.

Exactly. Me too.

38.com was nice price for someone developing Asian/Chinese portal site.

Japanese like 7
Chinese like 8
Vietnamese like 9

LOL! Actually almost all numbers are good EXCEPT "4" (which sounds like "death")! "9" for example is good in Mandarin/Putonghua for longevity or ever-lasting.

P.S. My car plate has 168 in it, meaning "getting rich ALL THE WAY"!

 

[Unregistered]

you are right nameslave

 

[Unregistered]

and, that is the problem of Chinese (including me), as we always daydream that we would get rich without any efforts, that cause decrease in productivity ...

 

[Nameable]

Wow, thanks! I had no idea how this worked with Asian traffic. I have 8888k.com and it gets a lot of asian traffic and I didn't understand why.

What do you guys do with your asian traffic to make money? I have a bunch of domains at Domain Sponsor, but they don't pay for Asian traffic.

Can you recommend any Chinese, Japanese or Korean affiliate programs or parking programs for us English-only people?

Thanks again!

Hi, Nameable.

I am also want to know how to effective utilization these traffic from Chinese.
I have many Chinese traffic from 2,3,4 digit domains.
1163.com have so much traffic (Typo 163.com)
163.net is famous portal. I think 163.com is another portal.
