1. Yahoo.co.jp sucks, and they own search in Japan. Yahoo sucks in general, Yahoo Japan sucks worse.

2. Google changed the clickable area in adsense ads to a very small area, and Japanese users surf via mobile - harder to hit the ad. CTRs dropped down from 5% to 0% on all of my Japanese sites over the past month or two.

3. Google won't give you mobile adsense options unless you live in a country where serving it is supported, no matter where your surfers are. Guess what, they don't support mobile advertising in FI, so I can't put mobile adsense on my Japanese sites.

4. There are more reasons, but I'll stop now.


No, I'm not selling off my Japanese domains cheaply, but Japanese domains definitely suck at this point in time.
