IDN Market and Strategy

Deciding which country and extension to focus on is a challenge. Looking at just numbers, China leads everyone. The government promotes the .cn . When you register a idn.cn you are given several domains. You register the idn.cn and you as well recieve the Chinese version, with the Chinese symbol on the right of the dot as well as the left! Pure Chinese! No English to confuse and limit access to the web. Giving people that don't speak or write in English the ability to speak and write in their own language is a huge step forward for opening up the web to everyone! Try and focus on generic, relevant words and phrases. There is a solid market for generic keyword idn.com's . I personally think once the idn.idn is fully implemented it will encourage many individuals and business' s to use the web idn.idn to market and create everything in their native languages!

My Tips

Idn.com - value in premium keyword or combo generic domains

Idn.Idn. - major potential in premium single and combo generic words and phrase

Idn.net- not really worth it, maybe if you have the .com and .idn

Solid Russian premium keyword market.  Focus on relevant generic words and phrases.

Same goes for the Spanish .com market, premium generic, relevant Spanish words and phrases. .com only maybe a few country extensions if you live in that country or if there is a large population.

Avoid trademark or potential trademark names.

Good potential as well with premium generic's in the :  English.cn domain's. 

eg. 

Bank.cn - that is a good one. 

any premium English .cn will most likely turn out to be a great investment. Just focus on relevant words and phases.

Developing and Investing in Chinese Idn.cn

Developing domain names in your own language can be difficult enough. Developing domain names in a foreign language can be even trickier. As mentioned in the previous post there are several translation tools available to help you evaluate a prospective domain. Some of the domains we are working on are listed below.

Festival

http://www.节.cn/
Festival listings, information, news, etc.
=========

Fruit
http://www.果.cn
Fruit information, business database, health information and more .

I will post some more sites asap.
As well I will be posting some Premium Chinese idn.cn domains. Most of these have never been available before. We have invested and secured domains successfully in China. We thought we would open up this trusted avenue to our visitors.

Evaluating Symbols for Domain Names in Chinese

There are a few sites that help you evaluate the meaning of a Chinese symbol. Google has a translation service that works ok. Babelfish works as well. One I really like is http://www.idn.bz . It is a great tool to help evaluate international domain names in all languages. Some of the best places to find idn domains are at dnforum.com and namepros.com. Good luck!
