IDN's dropping like flies

[rawkinrich]

explain yourself. You are selling spanish idns on IDNF. You also sold mas.com with the accent mark for a few thousand dollars. What are you complaining about.

You might find that was myself.

 

[domainstosell]

I know, I'm being a PITA :-D

OK, let's make peace, shall we? Because I can't convince you about my POV and neither can you. Simple as that.

IDN market: it is what it is. Good luck with it, I stick to my choices and you stick to yours. Nothing personal.

Acro, I thought we were finishing this thread. Why keep stirring the pot?

 

[Rubber Duck]

Keep going Acroplex. You seem to be convincing more people than I was ever able to!

 

[Theo]

Acro, I don't know how much credit you think you had but a shitload of it just went through the tube.
Time to close this topic which, and your childish and disrespectful formulations exclamate this, was meant to provocate.

Who are you Dutchie? I don't know you. My iTrader feedback speaks for itself. I don't need little brown nosed minions to showcase what I'm worth. I've been around for years, have successful sales and a well-established profile in the domain business.

Who are you again?

Oh yes. Someone that lives in Holland and didn't like my comments in another thread. So you come here to stir shit thinking I will sit and take it? :-D

Dutch boy. Take your finger off the dam.

Look newbie. Just because you were not able to get any registrations for $7 and are now sitting on a pile of sand doesn't mean you need to come in here and provoke us. If you had started back in January when the rest of us were mining the gold you would have been on a different boat. The PPC and traffic is coming. I'm already starting to see traffic on my IDNs.

Wiz, still waiting for you to post that domain of yours so that we analyze its traffic and potential. Please do that, be a good sport instead of being a low-puncher, eh?

Still waiting for you to try to register a cryllic/ascii mixed URL and prove to us that it can be done.

Otherwise what you claim is fluff. They are passing along OLD news from months ago that ICANN has already fixed. You CANNOT register mixed ascii/cryllic script. Simple as that....... NEXT!!!!

 

[Theo]

Wiz, you are the epitome of an anonymous liar. But you have the bravado to challenge my integrity in public, you - the anonymous coward.

Sorry Sir. You are not worth a click of my mouse until you post a domain identifying who you are.

 

[dominator]

Acroplex is right, IDN is a non-sense. Café.com is not cafe.com, but are you able to write Ã*, ü, ß, ž ? No, and that is exactly why it cannot work. If any German, French or Polish company wants to be global, its domain name won't be IDN...

You keep avoiding the question so your answers are fluff.

What information do you want? I own so many domains I'll have to search my catalog. Where should I start? I got everything from Automobiles.com to Pets. Surely you can guide me.

I've done alot of my sales offline and done a few for $XXX,XXX. I have also worked as a senior editor for an industry print magazine.(not domaining)

Lets see your bio.

Why not Chinese? Considering there is over 1.2 billion Chinese speakers maybe Chinese should be the global language of choice. It surely beats the number of English speakers by far.

Hi Acro,

We went through a similar thing with .co.in /.in 18 months or so ago. (For the record -I made a lot of money and continue to do so from ppc etc)

You have your own opinions on most things which generally seem to conflict with many others- just your way no doubt - keeps thing interesting.

I believe that IDN's are actually domain names ? There seems to be this confusion that they are something completely different - not the case - just a different form - but still domain names.

Diversification is never a bad thing, I personally have a wide range of domain names with different extensions from .com , to .sc , .mn - quite a few with those funny squiggly things in front of the "." - If the extension fits worth a punt JMO

Internationalized domain names - I was also a skeptic but following extensive research I see huge potential and will certainly be incorporating more of them in to my domain name portfolio - if yourself or others do not wish to it is your choice - life allows us that luxury!

Just to keep it interesting I made my first sale of an int domain name - my outlay for that particular name was $6.99 just 2 weeks ago - sold it for $700 a few days ago.

Maybe the first and the last - but I doubt it!

Have a good day , whatever your domain name preferences.

 

[Theo]

Wiz, please post the IDN domains that you defend so dearly :-D I'd like to learn from you, oh wise one.

Remember, I am not defending anything because this thread is about IDN names and how they will never become what you're professing.

My bio? Poor man, if I needed to promote myself I would start a thread just for that. This is about the IDN failure and I will keep it at that. Feel free to continue bashing me, in the end you are only hurting whatever is left of your invinsible persona.

I am not anti-idn. If it suceeds that is good for many idn domainers.

The main reason I have no idn's is simply because it is very tough to make money on the-web even if you are in an English speaking nation and only using standard ascii domains so it would seem to be immensely more difficult to achieve success with a foreign language, especially if that language is not native.

Thats fine trader , and i think there are a decent amount of people that feel they way you do , but what others have found is there a few ways you can make money from domains "IDN's" . You can park the domains and make money off the type in traffic ( that takes almost zero effort ) and there is also outsourcing ( takes a little bit of capitol ). But i have respect for you for not being a hater like some that can see past there sucky ascii portfolios and their lack of common sense.

 

[acesfull]

In 12 to 24 months, if IDNs aren't popular, and top-tier IDNs are not selling for significant prices, then I might start to believe that IDNs are a failure. Until then, it's pretty fuc*ing stupid (and/or ignorant) to call IDNs a failure, unless you have some kind of inside knowledge or a functional crystal ball. The horse is barely out of the starting gate.

I am still waiting for IDN pumpers to appologize to innocent newbies for wasting their time and money; just look at the opportunity cost alone.....its mind boggling.

Don't tell people to buy IDNs which has almost no value and hardly any one will pay for IDN traffic in case they get some.

Amazing how some of you are manipulating newbies to dump your bad purchases on them.

Amazing. Isn't it?

Maybe you should ask for a refund for those that told people to register .eu and .mobi . Hours were wasted with those two extensions. Everyone here brainwashed people that those were the extensions to register. We all know how big of a hit .eu was ...yawn.

IDNs will take off.

LOL @ IDN Traffic.

Are you telling me that traffic from Japan is worthless? Japan is the second largest economy in the world. Check overture bids on alot of Japanese terms. I own comicbooks.com in Japanese and I got a $3 click the other day. I hadn't set the keywords on that domain as I was busy with my other IDNs but I'm guessing it showed a Japanese loan keyword.

Good for you. Some IDNs may be exceptions such as Japanese etc but I see people here pumping IDNs from everywhere.

Thanks.

bad comparison.
