We have no real information relating to traffic on IDN at this stage. Some keywords will give up to 100 hits a month at the moment, but beyond that you are in new territory.

It is not uncommon to get the "com" in the search and it has always appeared without the dot. Olney suggests, however, that it could mean something like "tool" to the Japanese.

I have generally be using 500K without extension as a purchasing criteria, but the situation here could justify registering with a lower score.

For $8 for a dot com, hell what do you have to loose!

Best Regards and Good Luck

darn all mine are 100K + overture... so none of them are worth regging? hehe
